A thunder storm overlook the EN-
peror Francis Joseph of Austria, when
out shooting in 1873 with old Emperor
William of Germany and Victor Eman-
uel. The three monarchs got separat-
ed from their party and lost their way.
They were drenched to the skin, and,
in search of shelter, hailed a pea sant
driving covered cart drawn by oxen
along the high road. The peasant took
up the royal trio and drove on.
"And what may you be, for you are
a stranger in these partsY' he asked
after awhile of Emperor William.

piled his Teutonic majesty.
"Ha, very good" said the peasant.

4 California Earthquake.

San Jacinto, Cal, Dec. PA disas-
trous earthquake occurred Christmas
morning. Nearly every two-story build
ing was wrecked, and it is estimated that
the damage will aggregate over $4,000.
The main shock was preceded by a loud
roaring and awakened many just in time
to escape from the doomed buildings. The
business street was such wreck that
tons OF debris had to be removed before
buildings could be entered. At Saboda
Indian reservation six squaws were killed
by falling walls, and two fatally and many
seriously injured. The shock caused dry
artesian wells to flow larger streams than
ever before. Considerable damage is re-
ported in nearby villages.
