and Poor Appetite.
"our youngest child was in bad con-
dition. One physician said the trouble
was malaria and another thought It came
from the stomach and liver. Meantime
the child kept growing weaker. He had
night swssts, poor appetite and various
other troubles. We worried along for
two years, and then we determined to
try Hoods 6arsapSrilla, and from the
first day we noticed q change In our
little boy, We kept on until he had
taken about three bottles. Today he is a
strong, hearty child. We have always

IT GREW ON A TREE.

The little girl with a broad-brimmed hat was bright child. All the railway passengers who happened to occupy seats in her immediate vicinity were ready to admit that. The lady with her wore gold eyeglasses and was reading paper novel as attentively as her youthful com panion'S flow of conversation would permit.
 Was you ever in railway accident, auntie?" the child queried.
 "No, dear.'

 Certainly not"

 ''Yes. I asked him If 1t hurt him much. He said he just laughed when it was all over."

 ''Yes it was. It was quite a large ac- cident, and his car was in the very worst of it''

There was a time when people who were very punctilious regard ed it as desirable to say limb when they meant leg But now sensible persons who mean leg use that word. Don't say limb unless that Is what you mean. Re member that a limb is something that grows on a tree. Do you think you will be able hereafter to make that distinc- tion?"

OUR CHRISTIAN MISSION.
Rev. William Rader's Discourse at the Third Congregational
 Church

In a discourse last evening on ''The Christian Mission of Our Country" Rev William Rader of the Third Congrega- tionaI Church, took his text from the third chapter of Revelation of St. John, eighth verse: Behold I have set before thee an open door. and no man can shut it."
 ''The question that now confronts us, as a people and a church, he said, be comes a gospel theme, as important as any biblical theme.
 "The mission of the United States is found in its origin and inception. We came here for purpose-seeking refuge from certain prosecutions in the Old World-and have been accepting peoples ever since. We have made a business of liberty; of establishing self-goVernment, the principles of popular liberty, of dem ocracy; and have measurably succeeded: We have had some civil war-out of which came a clearer sky and the belief that democratic principles are feasible and right"
 The question of Larger America, the speaker discussed under three headings Imperialism, expansion and the Monroe doctrine-the latter being characterized as an anchor idea, holding us to the past as well as present.
 "The planting of the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes side by side, said the speaker, lis a great motive for conquest for imperialism"

FIGURES SHOW
 GAGE CERTAIN
 OF ELECTION Will Win by a Large Majority. BETWEEN TEN AND FIFTEEN
 THOUSAND.
CAREFUL ESTIMATES OF THE
 VOTE BY COUNTIES
Republican Committee Chairmen In- dicate Clearly That the Popu- lar Standard-Bearer Is
 the Choice.

The Gail several days ago wired the chairmen of the respective county com lnittees-both Republican and Demo- cratic-throughout the State asking for conservative estimates as to the prob able vote for Governor of California on November 8.
 The figures given below are the esti- mated probable majorities given by the chairmen of the Republican commit tees. The Democrats, although in a great many cases expressing their con- fidence that Mcguire will be elected. would not venture estimates in suff1- cient numbers to permit of a table be- ing prepared
 As is shown by the table. MT. Gage will doubtless come to San Francisco with a majority of not less than 14,000 votes. great many Republican lead CTS express their belief that MT. Gage will carry this city and county and those who are not so sanguine do not concede more than 25O0 majority to MT. Mcguire. It would appear that there is no good reason to doubt that MT. Gage will be elected by majority be- tween 10000 and 15,OO0 votes.
 Here are the figures:

LIFE OF JOSEPH.
Rev. John A. B. Wilson's Sermon at the Howard Street M. P. Church.

At the Howard-street M. E. Church last evening Rev. John A B. Wilson took for his theme "The Life of Joseph"
 Tt is bad when we get depending on each other,'' he said. Better have faith in God-have him our primary object of dependence. I would say to you young men, you cannot always choose your com panionship, but you have always got to live with yourself. See that you have the kind of company that your soul can afford to keep forever. There Is no cultivation that has been found or ever will be found to make a rosebush out of fern; the more you cultivate it the more fern you have. The outcome Is going to be accord ing to your sowing. If you SOW unwor- thily-of the flesh-you are going to reap corruption. There Is a consequence to every act, which we cannot escape. No act is insignificant-no thought there is a sequence growing out of everything you do. I tell you a wise thing to do: When you find you are doing wrong, stop. Crap pie with your nature. If you can't do it now, how can you do it when it is stronger? The things you can't do now you are adding to make harder. Don't add another faggot to the bundle that is already too heavy for you to carry about"

for these things, which would never be- come grimy.
 Boil in quart and a half of water for an hour quarter of a pound of bruised gals, half a pound of log wood and two ounces of green vttr1ol. When rubbed with this solution black cloth costumes and suits will be re- stored to their pristine sableness of hue.
 To splice out chafing-dish service of creamed fish, some leftover asparagus will be found particularly useful. A cream dressing is made for the fish and the cold asparagus cut in two-inch lengths and added with the cold fish. The two can be heated through and served on oblongs of toast.
 To clean white coral soak the pieces in soft water for a day (the water can be efficiently softened by a few drops of liquid ammonia). then remove and lay in a solution of chloride of lime. Soak this for a day and a night. then wash out thoroughly under running water. Place to dry and bleach In the sun.

PUZZLES IN PRONUNCIATION

School children are so observant. Es- pecially of their teachers. and more es- pecially when they are just starting out in school.
 A little Cleveland girl of six summers came home the other day with her mind filled with that new wonder, the school
 sHow do you like your teacher?" her mamma asked.
 'Shes a very nice teacher" said the little one; "only it's such a pity sne doesn't speak so many of her words right; I shouldn't think they'd let her teach till she learned to say them so people couId understand" o,,
 Why, what does she say that's wrongY'
 'sWell yesterday she was going to say Pass. from the room quietly, and what do you think she did say? She said, 'Pawss, just like that 'Pawss from the room quietly I guess nobody didn't understand her at first And then, this morning we were talking about trees, and she said 'brawnches' sir, just like that She s a nice teacher, but you got to get used to her before you can understand her lan- Puage"

of Mayor. If elected he will not pursue the tactics of shirking the responsibility of passing upon important public improve. ments and leaving it to the Board or Supervisors, as is the practice or MT. Phelan, who has shown that he has nei- ther the veto courage or the backbone to perform his duties as the chief executive of the municipality.
 Another feature of the campaign is the significant fact that in all this heated contest there has not been one word breathed against MT. Patton's integrity, his ability and energy, his private or public character He stands before his fellow citizens as capable, honest and up- right a man as could be found.
 That these matters are appreciated by the voters has been proved by the en- thusiastic reception of the man during the arduous and admirable campaign he has made. The further fact that he has not been Mayor of the city and made him. self czar, using his official power to rob his fellows of their rights under the consti- tuition in order to stuff a ticket in his own interests has given him great strength among those citizens who believe in and demand from their public servants hon. esty and justice.
 Finally, a vote for MT. Patton Is a vote against a combination of job-chasers who, if elected will have the city at their mercy and be in a position to perpetuate themselves in office indefinitely.

were, as usual overcrowded, and it is re- markabIe that no serious accident oc- cured There was one accident that re- suited painfully for Willard JidSton son of Captain Jidston of Alameda. Captain Jidston, with his son seated by his side, was driving a spirited team out on Bal boa boulevard, when the team took fright became unmanageable and ran away. Young JidStOn became frightened and jumped from the buggy, sustaining painful scalp wounds and badly con- tused arm. He was found by one of the mounted police and removed to the Park Hospital where his wounds were dressed. After the injured boy leaped from the buggy Captain Jidston redoubled his eff forts to regain mastery over the mad dened animals, but did not succeed until after a distance of over two miles had been covered. He managed to keep the team in the middle of the roaQ until 1t became tired out with its own efforts and then 1t was stopped. Captain Jidston then drove back to the hospital and took his son home.

HALL CANE ON THE AMERICAN
 SOLDIER.

Personally 1 have always contended that even we, your cousins, greatly un- derestimated your fighting strength, and I never hesitated to state that opinion: When the war excitement that followed the Venezuelan trouble had so died out in London that arbitration began to be mentioned, and when great meeting was held for that purpose in queen Hall there I drew some criticism upon myself by remarking that America was by far better equipped for brief strug- gle than the maternal Government. Not only had free military system or cadet schools and volunteer militia given great deal of necessary training, but the democratic principles of the land had more than doubled the individual value of army and navy. While have noted in Russia and elsewhere that men who have absolutely no reason Tor loving their fatherland are still imbued strongly patriotism, no doubt can exist that the soldier who is risking his life for things that he understands and that appeal to him directly-the soldier who may be- come as high in position as the highest of his commanders-win fight as no other recruit can. And the results Of the late war have proved the foundation of my beIief. This has been a contest in which personal bravery and individual herolsm have discounted even the superb work Of the army and navy as whole.
 "England Is not prepared for the emer- eencies so well as. might seem to be the Case with the casual observer. Only ex- perts can tell of the power of her navy and her armament, but that she lacks the inpromptuity of the United States, de- spite her standing force, there can be no doubt I believe in the unity of the two countries almost above everything else.

WHAT THE BEAR DID.

A few old sportsmen were relating their experiences to each other when an inter Ioper drew up and interrupted them with a few stories of his hair-breadth escapes. much to their disgust. Finally one clipped in and quietly told the following story:
 .Three or four years ago I was hunting in the Rocky Mountains and happened to be on the top of high precipice, and for the purpose of getting g better view of the valley, some 800 or 500 feet below, laid down my gun and crawled out upon a small rock overlooking the chasm, and strangely fell asleep.
 "Presently I was awakened by a noise on the bank, and saw a large bear within a few feet of me. Of course 1 was power less, as I could hardly move without fall ing from the rock, and I could not escape to the bank nor reach my gun, which was beyond the bear.
 'Presently the bear crawled down slow ly until he stood sauarely over me on the rock"
 After a short pause the interloper asked: 'What did the bear do?"
 "Ate me up."-Forest and Stream.

THE HUMoRIsT REITERATED.

In a group of lawyers who were dili- gently smoking cigars, sat mild-ap- bearing youth puffing cigarette, says the Chicago Journal.
 "Janitor, will you kindly open the little company. "I think smell a cig- arette."
 The lawyers grinned appreciatively and the youth made visible effort to appear oblivious.
 "A man was arrested the other day for blowing smoke in a horses face ,'' began the legal humorist, winking at his audience and speaking in voice evidently intended for the cigarette smoker.
 "The Judge who heard the case said there was no law against such an act, and was about to throw the case out of court.
 "'But,' exclaimed the complainant, it was cigarette smoke, your Honor. Whereupon the court imposed a heavy fine'
 The lawyers laughed and watched for the effect of this shot on the lonely cig- arctic fiend.
 The youth gradually recalled the gaze which had been fixed on the far distance, and turning with an inter ested and almost eager expression to the wag, inquired with a drawl:
 Did the Judge make any rulings as to blowing smoke in an asss face?"
 And during the Hull the humorist had time to think of an important engage ment.

STOLE ONLY GAS BURNERS
THOMAS SHIELDS AND HIS FAM
 ILY NEARLY SMoThERED.

In his anxiety to possess himself of two gasburners an unknown thief yesterday morning nearly caused the death of Thomas Shields and his family
 The Shields live at SAB Howard street. Some time after 1 o'clock yeterday morn ing thief visited the premises and wrenched off the gasburners In his haste to get away, presumably, he neglected to turn off the gas.
 Sometime afterward Shields was aroused by the smell of gas. Jumping out Of bed he proceeded to make an investi- gation After considerable trouble he discovered that the gasburners in the hallway had been removed Arousing his wife and children he told them of what had happened and ordered them to open the windows while he continued his inves- tigation. Failing to find the thief he went in search of the police officer on the beat of the gasburners.
 Last night Shields visited police head quarters and made a report of the Oc- currence to Chief Lees. He does not be- neVe that the thief intended to cause the death of himself and family
 He was probably in a hurry" Shields remarked, and neglected to turn off the gas. Had 1 not detected the smell of the escaping fluid it is more than probable that at least one of the family would now be in the Morgue"
 The police are inclined to believe that the crime was committed by some opium nend, who, in order to satisfy his craving for the drug, determined to steal the burners and then sell them for a mere pit tance. With the money he received for them, they argue, he would buy enough opium to satisfy his appetite for the drug

Noted Pickpocket Arrested.

The police believe that yesterday Harry Elmore furnished them with evidence sur- ficient to hold him in the meshes Of the law and to insure him trip to San Quen- tin. Elmore is noted pickpocket and has often been arrested. but in each in stance has been released for want or sui flcient evidence. Yesterday afternoon. while riding on a. a.~Guerrero street car, Mrs. Malcolm, residing at 2O5 Turk street, saw Elmore take purse from the pocket of her sister, Mrs: Johnson She raised but was captured later by Officer J. w. Stanley. Upon being searched the ss con tained in the purse was found upon his person. and the purse, which he had dis carded in his flight, was picked up behind a fence
