q LITTLE MORE NOISE, PLEASE.

THEN soldier boys already far from their lH homes come tramping up Market street it is fitting that they should pass between lines of cheering citizens. A common impulse stirs the pa triotism of the country Let the boys know that they welcomed and honored.
 Yet, although San Francisco does not make much noise, the people living here as heartily in accord with the nation any other part of it. They have ob served with regret and almost with indignation that of the recruits were poorly provided with ne cessities, and these they have hastened to supply The women of the Red Cross are working noblv They toll for the men in the ranks as though for brothers and sons. They have appealed for financial aid and the money pours in They wanted volunteers for hospital duty, and from every side come trained eager to serve
 These women have not overlooked details. As the strangers arrive coffee and substantial fare awaits at the ferry If the Government blankets are tied n with red tape these ladies send blankets purchased by themselves They have shod the feet of scores sent decacies to the sick thought out schemes for send ing comforts to Manila.
 Yesterday these women watched the Nebraska bows go by and waved salute at once a hail and a fare well. And some of them wept because out in the street there hardly sign of hurrahng from the hundreds of spectators Then next time let the peo- pie shout. The soldiers will appreciate it. and the soldiers Red Cross friends will be grateful.

KNOTTY TAXES.

A statement OF taxes assessed in

peculiar condition of the tax payers
for the government they get. It
runs all the way from $l.25 down to
25 cents per hundred dollars. Pos
sibly they get better accommoda-
lions up there in the high priced,
top notches. Most of people, how
ever, prefer being modessly well to
do, than scrapeing knots for the top
notchers. Berkeley county people
pay 25 cents more than some others,
and 20 cents more than our good
neighbors of Jefferson. Why; we
know not. Good subject for inves,
tigstion. Give the people the best

ST. Paul, Nov. 22.-Tiie first general
snow storm of the winter has prevailed
throughout the northwest during the
past SO hours, and 1t still continues
without much abatement: The snow
has been accompanied by high wind,
reaching in many places the proper
lions of a genuine blizzard. The fall
of snow has not been great; but the
wind has drifted 1t badly and many
places report considerable delay to rail-
road traffic. Specials from various
points in North and South Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Iowa report the storm still prevailing
and local business impeded. IN the
British northwest the temperature is
"A and rs degrees below zero. In this
city it has fallen to 10 below. The
storm was especially severe on Lake
Superior Duluth reporting a 10 mile
gale.

loss of stock. both cattle and sheep IS
feared. owing to the fact that many
thousands of herds have been brought
