San Franoisco market Review

SAN Francisco, May 16.-New potatoes are
lower Old potatoes continue neglected, with
the exception of Burbank seedlings New
ions are weaker today.
The fruit market is active, although prices are
somewhat lower. strawberries are plentiful,
and Gamers are buying Sharpless at $3.50 per
chest. The local trade is rather dull. Cherries
continue in excellent supply, and black varie-
ties are selling at fair prices. Oranges have
fallen off in demand, but receipts are liberal.
Asparagus was selling better this morning, as
receipts were not so heavy. Peas are weak, and
the green corn from Los Angeles is all sold.
The butter market is still firm, with no
changes. Eastern and good store eggs are
steady, put at low prices.

What London Teaches Us.

London will teach YOU that it is pos
sible for the streets of the busiest city
in the world to be kept scrupulouslv
clean, writes Edward W. Box in the La
dies Home J0UHai. 1t will teach Am
orleans, too, that a city can be paved
so as to withstand the inroads of heavy
traffic. and yet be luxury for one to
drive on any of its streets. We may
teach them how to build the cars. but
they can teach us how TO construct
safe railroads. Where the American
railroad grades a crossing and endan-
gers life, the English road builds q
tunnel and protects the public. The
wooden piers along our river fronts
are nightmares when you see those
buttrcSsGs of masonry in England.
The American housewife is taught how
beautiful the humblcst home can look
when flowers bloom from every win
dow in il. and gardens look like spots
of Paradise. The English woman can
teach her American sister the great
secret of keeping young by refusing to
Worry. Sc knows that worry means
premature are. and she has too hi ,h Il
regard for her health to cndanger it
with what she knows will not avail.
The English girl will teach the pride
Of every American that the foundation
of the best health is exercise and
plenty of it, ana that healthy girlhood
is the stcnDinCstOne to the best wife
hood and motherhood; though. in
every other respect, the American girl
can stand comparison.

When "Sofnetime" Comes.

When sometime comes then we shall taste
the JOYS for which we long.
The sh, duws will he sunbeams and each sigh
will be a song:
The sweet dead hopes we cherish so and in our
breasts nt0Inb
VIII all come back to live again and fill our
hearts with bloom.
The dreary wastes of Gcsert sand will blossom
And every brook will babb.e sweetest music
il flows.
Our hungry souls that now exist on just the
meagcr crumbs
VIII then sit down to princely feasts OF love
when sometime" comes.
When sometime" comes then all the year
will be a glad sweet June,
And all the music of tie oril will be in per-
feet tune
The paths we tread will lead US on through
blossom-st eutcd dclls.
And We shall listen everto the chimes of fairy
bells.
The thornlcss roses all the day with dewdrops
will be wet.
And joys will come untanglcd in the mcshes
of regret:
Our lives viii fit rs gayly as the Wild bee
It's drowsy song from honcyed flower TO
flower, when sometime" comes.
When sometime" comes then all the world
will be IA dream of truth.
And We shall feel once more the charm and
innocence Of youth.
And sing the glad, sweet songs we sung in
those bright summers when
We played in careless joy nor knew the weary
thoughts of men.
And all the friends we hold so dcar-the ones
who loved us So
VIII all come back TO greet rs from the happy
long ago.
Tie girls with dolls and dishes and tue boys
with flags and drums,
Wcll see them all together once again when
sometime comes.

Answering an Innocent Question.

of the car who seemed to have no one
to talk to. SO the little man picked

The big man took his cigar out of
his mouth. looked at the little man
severely, and said:
See that sling?n
Why, yes, of course"
Think it's pretty?"
"Well. no-I-"
Doesn't look like decoration, does
it?"
OF course not. You see-"

Not at all. l meant to ask what
the matter with your arm was"
We'll, why didn't you say what YOU

Then the biz man settled back in his

They were hunting in the San

grizzlies down Il steep, narrow path to
plateau that ended in sheer preci-

and the son following one drove him
up the path, leaving the father to tackle
his on the plateau.

grizzly getting away from him. Ari

As he came down the path this is what

never even noticed his only son. He'd
clum out on the limb of that tree over

front and rear car were Il considerable
distance from the station. This is an
outrage" exclaimed lady as she got
out of the front car. I've got TO
walk about mile TO the station just
because the railroad doesn't land me
there" At the same moment a lady
who was getting out of the rear car
was exclaiming: This is an outrage;
| paid my fare TO the station, but it
seems the company is 100 mean 10
carry NE there. They ought to
be exposed" But of course. you
will say that the passenger for that
station, man in the middle car, was
satisfied Not much. As he descended
from the car and saw that lie WAS di-
rectly in front of the station. he re-
marked: Huh! Hit it right this time.
Must have been an accident. though.
