RETROSPECT

your young shall see visions. and your
old shall dream dreams Acts.
After he had put MaripCsa on her car,
Essex went downtown to the paper
with some coy. He was making fair
living on The Trumpet, and the work
he was doing suited him. He thought
he might last the winter and he had no
objections to passing the winter in San
Francisco. Like many of his kind, he
felt the lazy Bohemian charm Of the
adverse, many-colored. cosmopolitan
city sprawled on its sand dunes. The
restaurants alone made life more worth
while than anywhere else in the coun-
try except New York.
Tonight he went to one, for dinner,
that stood in Clay street. short dis
tance below Kearny. He had a word
to say TO the white-clothed chef, who
cooked the dinner in plain sight. on a
small oven and grill beneath which the
charcoal cleaned redly. He stopped
for a moments badinage with the
buxom, fresh-faced French woman who
sat at the desk. She was the chefs
wife, Madame Bertrand, and liked
Monsieur Essex" who spoke her ma
tai tongue as we'll as she did. There
was evidently truth in one piece OF Es-
sex's autobiography. Only a childhood
spent in France could teach the kind OF
French he spoke with Madame Ber-
trand.
He sat long over his dinner, smoking
and reading the evening papers. 1t was
so late when he left that Bertrand him
self came out of his cooking corner and
talked with him about Paris. Mon
sieur Esseeex" knew Paris as we'll as
Bertrand, some parts of it better. He
had been educated there at one OF the
large lycees. and had gone back many
times, living now or one side of the
river. now on the other. Bertrand, in
his white cap and apron. conversing
with his guest, retained curious man
ner of difference unusual in California

mustn't DRIVE OUT OF A WALK

Sexton Barton of BellWood cemetery
complains that the ordinance against
fast driving in the cemetery is being
violated almost daily. There is an Or
dinance which prohibits driving fast
e1 than a walk in the cemetery. and
Fl n!any places on the grounds ana

which call attention to the fact that
Fast driving is prohibited, but there
are persons who pay no attention

ton saws ne has refrained from max
inc any arrests. hoping that those Who
are guilty Of illfrac1ions of the ordl-

thoi3z selves the humiliation OF arrest
and prosecution. 1t appears hoWeVer,
,bat nothing less than a strict en-
Gnrcamert of the ordin1 nce through
the court will cause some people 70
obey the law in this matter, and Sex
ton Barton says that those who per
sist in fast driving in the cemetery
must quit it or take The consequences,
as he is going to enforce the law
AGAINST ali violators. It does seem
that any person should at least re-
spect the laws regulating burial

sty Of enforcing the penalties of the
law against them.
