I'd walked around all day trying TO get

FraDcisco has more restaurants than
any city of its size on this continent.
and good eating's cheaper there than
IN any other American city. The res.

their faces and the leaves from the

Il went through that Palace cafe
menu from soup to nuts, and there
weren't any wines on the card that
suited me- That is, intimated to
the head waiter, after trying all of the
wines. that they didn't precisely strike
my palate.
I'll be within the shelter of the
Five Courts in something under half
an hour reflected, with great com
plaisance, when 1 had ordered the
waiter to bring me three of the best
Reina Victorias in the house for a dol

pint of champagne and stood ready
for the cognac and coffee, but was
liable to've turned up there sooner or
later, anyhow, and the Five Courts is

dyke beard seated at table about, 80
feet TO my right, gazing pretty hard
at me. He looked and looked and
looked at me,
That fellows probably the house

bled 10 the fact that I'm about to
swing the house for some SOS worth of
viands and drinkables. let him de-

While i was pursuing this line of
things, however, the man who had
been gazing at me so hard got up
from his table and walked over to me.
His face gradually lighted up as he
came closer to me, and it was one
broad grin when he held out his hand
90 me and said: Hello, Jimi'
Il knew him then right away. He
was a chap I'd known back in Buffalo
a number OF. years before. I'd gone
on his note at that time for $500 when
he got mixed UP In tangle with his
books on account OF gambling. and
he'd jumped Buffalo without ever
making the note good, so that had
to do 1t myself. I'd always felt pref
ty sore on him for that fob, and I'd
had it in mind for a number of wears

II received him with calm cordial

Said that only year before he'd
mailed a check for the amount to me.
and that it had come back to him, as.
OF course, I'd moved away from Buff

mo how they were coming for me.
Never better, told him, and then he
reached into his breast pocket, pulled
out his wallet and handed me two nice,
clean 500 notes, fresh and crisp from
the subtreasury.

Where flies not the dag that our fathers

the world
Where the drums beat the charge and the
red-coats went down,
And Liberty won in the fall of q CROWN
Where waves that proud banner which
Washington set
As a sign In the heavens that Right tri-
umphs yet,
AS a symbol of honor the pride of the free
Who stand meath its folds on the land and
the sea?
Go stand where the peaks in their majesty
glow
And the sun ever shines on their garments
OF snow,
Go watch the dark waters that ceaselessly
roll
And whisper the tale OF the PARKWAY Pole;
Aye, stand for a time meath the pitiless sly
Where the ships of the Arctic drift, fee
laden. by;
What ts that waving free on the cold, cut
ting air?
Ills q banner of beauty-oid Glory is there.
Go South where the Sun in his majesty
shines
On the gold of the orange. the green OF the

And islands of light in the deep lie i'm

Where the fleets of ali nations SAN mer-

Now turn to the West with its legends of

Where leaves the Pacific its beaches OF

Where, down from the lands of the Fox

The Oregon rolls with its song to the sea :
There fiutters flag on the pine-crcsted

Whose SHOWS swell the tide of the forest

And the winds that blow harsh round the

Are kissing a bsnner-Old Glory is therel
Where the breakers are washed by Attain

And thousands have died in the light of its

CoSTLIEsT THINGS ON RECORD

The costliest toy on record was a
broken-nosed wooden horse which be-
longed to Napoleon Bonaparte and was
sold year or two ago for 1000 francs.
The costliest cigars ever brought to
this country were of the brand made
for the prince OF Wales in Havana, the
manufacturers price for which was
$1.s7 apiece.
The largest sum ever asked or offered
for a single diamond is e43oOoO which
the nizam of Hyderabad agreed to give
to Mr.. Jacobs, the famous jeweler OF
Simla, for the imperial diamond,
which is considered the finest stone in
the world.
The costliest mats In the world are
owned by the shah of Persia and the
sultan OF Turkey. The shah and the
sultan each possesses n mat made of
pearls and diamonds, valued at over
$2,5oo, 900. The largestmat ever made is
owned by the Carlton club of London
and is work of art.
The costliest meal ever served, ac-
cording to history, was a supper given
to Aelius Verus, one of the most lavish
OF all the Romans of the latter days, to
a dozen guests. The cost was 5000 ses-
tertia, which would amount to 6 4s,5oo.
or nearly quarter of million dol
lars A celebrated feast given by vi
tellius, Roman emperor of those days,
TO his brother Lucius, cost more than
100000. Suetonius says that the ban
quet consisted of 1900 different dishes
OF fish. and 700 different fowls. besides
other courses.

THE TOILET.

Gloves should be worn when engaged
In any work that is likely to soil the
hands.
Extreme care should be taken not.
to bruise the nails when pushing back
the flesh from the roots.
An excellent cure for brittle nails Is
to soak them daily for few minutes
In blood warm sweet oil.
For whitening the hands nothing IS
better than wearing gloves all night,
first amounting the hands with a little
SWEEP oil.
Loii"a :or 3"ssaging the Face.-Put
into clean bottle two ounces glycer-
Inc, one ounce royewater, half an ounce

GREENRooM GOSSIP.

San Francisco had a stage version
of "Sapho" over ten years ago. Mrs.
Mckee Rankin played the title part
and the convict lover killed the siren.
Scene painting has become some
thing of high art in London. In a
recent dramatic production three
scenes painted by two London women
OF line artistic talents were given
lengthy notices by the art critics.
During the reconstruction of the old
Johanniskrche, at Leipsic. the burial
place of Bach was discovered Bach
was organist at this church. and his
body is TO be reinterred with great
solemnity in sarcoph agus in the same
edifice. Incidental TO the ceremony
will be the unwilling of a statue of the
master in front of the church.
The Norwegians have a national
hymn which hitherto has been looked
upon as the work Of a native composer.
Richard Nordraack A Norwegian
iconoclast, however, recently has point
ed out the fact thatit corresponds note
for note with the Largo Cantabile
movement in Haydn's fourteenth string
quartette.
A triple musical monument is to be
erected in Berlin to the memories of
Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, after
the style OF the Schiller-Goethe-Ch
fnisso memorial. 1t will be placed in
the Thiergarten, Berlin's principal
park, the city government already bav-
ing provided $500 towards the $4,000
fund required.
A curious sort of lawsuit is in prog
ress in Vienna Fourteen music critics
of that city have brought suit for
defamation of character against a
well-known concert manager. 1t seems
that some time ago a foreign singer
went to Vienna and engaged this man
ager to get up concert for her. Among
other things he asked of her several
hundred forms with which to soften
the souls of the critics. She supplied
the money, and then told a friend
about it, with the result that scand al

Broke in San Francisco
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

NE OF these rainy evenings I'm
" I'm going to sit down and write
the first few chapters of that book
I've had in mind for long time past
,-'fowns I've Been Broke In" said n
washington man who's now a pretty
Sedate and prosperous citizen. The
information that I've picked up at first
hand on this general topic ought to
make pretty readable and instructive
Inflammation. I've been broke all the
way drom here to Shanghai and back:
not for very iong perious at stretch.
st is true, but fatty and unqualifiedly
broke. without much of an apparent
chance of winning out, at that; and I
think i could put down a pretty accu-
rate tabulation of the hardest towns
on the globe IN which TO be broke.
There are a let OF mean towns in
the United States for a man to 90
broke In. Oddly enough, when YOU
consider what mean town New York
Is an most other respects. I never
found IT as bad as a lot of other ones
when IT came to the maCter of going
broke. always found something do
sng over there when things got right

OF a show II he's broke in New Or
leans; st. Louis is grueling into the
seuI OF the broke man. but for real
craggtness and hope1essness and no.
way-ontness just you try going broke
In San Francisco once and see how
near you'll get to jumping off the
Aocki
Fhe reason why San Francisco
such a bad job when it comes to go
ing broke there Is that its so hard to
break away from the place. You see.
that bunch OF mountains between
Frisco and the Mississippi river is
there. to stay. You can't walk over
'en1, either It's q case of ride when
you want to leave San Francisco. and
It's q case, likewise. ot.paying for your
ride. II you, don't happen to have the
little pasteboard when the conductor
comes around and looks you In the
eye OF you go. and you're pretty LA
Die TO go on in a nest Of cacti OF a patch
OF sagebrush or a bit OF desert, Just
about 2T2 miles from nowhere at all.
The conductor doesn't care for your
sensibilities at all. Conductors who
run over-the- mountains-and-dese
trains from San Francisco are real
cruel, heartless persons, 30 they are.
They don't mind it in the least If they
have to pass by your bleaching bones
on their trains se5 days in the year.
They're calloused to all that. You can
generally stow away on one of tho
Panama boats, but then you're ditched
when you get down to the isthmus. and
ats pretty hard to stow away on one
OF the up boats on the eastern side OF
the isthmus- I ought to know, but
that's another story.
The last time found myself broke
In San Francisco was about 12 wears
ago. don't think 1 was ever broke
worse in my'life. Everything I'd pos
sessed that the man behind the coun-
ter of a three-ball house would so much
as look at passed into his possession
without any parley whatsoever as to
terms, and there came an evening when
walked along Kearney street with
nothing between me and the large.
