FEMALE UNDERTAKES
These San Francisco Women Who
Have Adopted the Business
Rather Like 1t.

We were talking about everyday top
les when my friend happened to say she
was in the undertaking business.
"Why, how in the world did you have
grit enough to take hold of such an oc-
you?" 1 asked.
"Of course it did at first, but 1 made
up my mind to grin and bear it and j
succeeded"
Mrs. Parks is one of those large, good
natured women who seem to have nerve
and ambition to attempt almost any
thing. She had served a regular train
ing course in the strange profession.
"And how did you conclude to be-
come an u~ndertaker?" asked.
"Just by the merest chance" she re-
piled. Il called upon u friend who was
just getting ready to go to the Golden
Gate undertaking parlors to view thc
body of her s~ister-in-law. volunteered
10 go with her and dress the hair of tbs
deceased. The offer was kindly ac-
cepted. AS the body was not quite
ready, the manager requested us to
wait for about Is minutes. Before many
minutes passed he came in and asked
how the lady had worn her hair. told
him 1 had come for the purpose of
dressing it. ooh. have you? Then
please step this way he said.
The manager assisted me, and, as l
was leaving the establishment. he COM
plimented me on the way l had handled
the head and advised me to learn the
business.
q Rnf from whom - aSEa6
"'Oh, I'll teach you. Come in some
time
"'All right l replied.
II thought, however, he was only jok-
ing, but. as l was in earnest, 1 called
again. lie seemed surprised to see me.
IT yen really racan it? thought
you were only joking. Have you truly
decided to learn?'
"'Why, of course / answered, if you
will teach me-"
After Mrs. Park learned how to lay
out a body for burial she entered a col
lege of embalming which met here
last November. Prominent under
takers and doctors of the United States
are at the head of this school, and come
here about once every six or seven
years.
Out of a class of 80 graduates, three
were women, namely, Mrs. Parks, of
San Francisco; Miss Wood, of Oakland.
and Miss Ream, of Sacramento.
Ibid you ever attend an autopsy?"
I asked her.
"Oh, yes, and the first one I attended
the doctors watched me for fear 7
woulr change color. But 1 had resolved
to be firm, and / kept up to the end. al
though several times I felt very uneasy.
At the conclusion, one of the doctors
congratulated me, and said he had
tainted himself the first one he at
tended"
Mrs. Parks complained that the ma
jority of undertakers are afraid TO in
itiate a woman into the business. As
one undertaken said to her: "Why
should we give you money that we a
earn ourselves? As long as the public
does not know that a lady can be en-
why should we make them any
the wiser?"-San Francisco Call.

OUR FIRST SALUTE TO SPAIN.

The sun DER the hills took its last loving
peep
At the folds of Old Glory. ere sinking to
sleep:
And our Jack, pacing slow DER the deck of
the Maine,
With thought of his birthplace. its noun
tain and plain,
Complained to himself and the gathering
night,
mo letter ~to-day-oh. why don't Alice
writer"
Held his pipe DER the rail, knocked the ash
from it's bowl,
Gazed pensively down at the dark pillows
roll.
Then, bashfully kissing a fair golden tress,
Said: Goodnight. little sweetheart, 1 go
to my rest.
oh, God, keep her safe till her lover gets
back,
And may the cherub aloft look out for her
Jack!"
His simple prayer said, in his hammock ne
swings;
His thoughts, flying far on slumber's soft
wings,
Take him back to their tryst, beneath the
tall pine,
He again clasps her close, sees her bonnie
yes shine:
With a endearment he turns in
his rest
And his sweetheart's soft ringlet clasps
close to his breast.
Little girl, you've got a letter." the gruff
old postman said,
And as she raised her happy face he turned
away his head.
When she reached up for the missive on
her hand there dropped a tear
what is thiGe oh, what does this mean?"
lin her see a deadly fear
This is mine! l wrote this letter! This is
one l wrote to Jack!'
And she tremblingly turned the missive-
Dead" was written on its back.
BY that act of Spanish vilenesS, deed that
fiends might well disclaim,
Spain achieves a fitting climax to her GER
turtles of shame.
IT'S a history-pregnant moment when a
mighty nation weeps,
And a mighty growing war cry grumbles
out across the deeps,
And a cry for vengeance rises DER the spot
where Jack has died,
And Ger the grave beneath the pine where
sleeps his promised bride.
Mid the hills of Chicl.amauga there has
met a mighty throng;
hey have tossed aloft Cd Glory, they're
ten hundred thousand strong.
Ger the wires burns a message, crossing
mountain, stream and plain:
They have get good news from Dewey,
he's remembering the Mainei
Our brave tarS are after vengeance, they
were comrades o. the slain.
And six hundred dead Castilians mark our
first salute to Spaini"

Commodore schIey Believes He Could Have Entered Santiago
Harbor without Losing a Ship--Montana Boys Gone.

belief that our fleet could have
entered the harbor without the loss
OF a single ship. The mines might
have stopped the ingress by sinking
the leading ship, but this is a chance
of war, and not so grave as many
taken during the civil strife, o as
serious as would have been the stu
alton had there been good batteries,
properly manned in the harbor.
Commodore Schley's party first
steamed around the wreck of the
Reina Mercedes. At the firing station
on the west side, which Commodore
Schley inspected in person, the Amer
lean party met a Spanish artillery
captain who was courteous but
gloomy. The commodore advised
the officer, with a few men under his
command, to go up to h city and
surrender a quickly as possible.
Commodore Schley then, after a
glimpse of Santiago, returned to the
Brooklyn. Capt. Cook of the Brook
lyn is authority for the statement
that the Infanta Maria Teresa has
fioated off the reef on which she
stranded and her heavy armament is
practically uninjured. The captain
also says the cruiser a almost
surely be saved. The Cristobal Co.
Ion may also be saved, though good
deal depends upon the weather.

The troops, as soon as possible, are
to embark from a port nearest the
garrison they now occupy. The
officers are to retain their side arms,
and officers and men to retain their
personal property. The Spanish
commander is authorized to take
the archives belonging to the sur
rendered district. All Spanish

that the United States commission

soldiers return to Spain with the
arms they 30 bravely defended. This
the question of the return of
the arms entirely in the hands of our
government. l invite attention to
the fact that several thousand sur
rendered are said by General Toral
