Alarm Clocks on eravessones.

The Indians of Pala, in the foothills
OF the Coast Range in the southern
part OF the state OF California were
converted to the Catholic faith by the
Jesuit Fathers, who founded a mission
among them. Though some supersti
tlons prevail, their belief in the
Resurrection is strong
Believing that the dead must re
main for some time In the grave, they
observe exactly the hour at which
he spirit departs, and the rude wood
en- cross over each grave in the GENE
terry states the exact hour, minute ant
day on which the person died. Sus
pended from the arms Of one Of the
crosses is an alarm clock, with the
hands set at 6:57. The alarm at The
back Of the clock has been set at the
same moment The person who
placed the clock there believes thai
at the proper moment the alarm will
sound and will awaken the sleepinl

This Ritz restaurant is not the
only notably luxurious feature Of
modern ocean travel as exemplified
by the Amerika. The traveller of
today is very much like the good
old farmer from Wayback, who
started to register at the Holland

please him, assured him they'd take
good care of him and see that he
got all the comforts Of home.
Whereupon the old fellow sadly laid
down the pen and motioned a boy
to pick up his grip, remarking: "If
/ wanted all the comforts of home I
wouldn't come all the way to New

them" The travelling public wants

thought Of what 1t cost might induce
