My Mothers Garden.

Her heart was like her garden,
Old fashioned, quaint and sweet
A wealth of buds and blossoms
Hid in a still retreat.
Sweet violets of sympathy
Were always opening there,
And lilies white and pure enclosed,
Each one a whispered prayer.
Forget me-nots there fingered
To late perfection brought
And there bloomed purple pansies
In many q tender thought.
There hopes first snowdrops took deep
root
And lowered because they must,
There loves own roses reached toward
heaven
On trellises of trust.
And in that quiet garden
The garden of her heart
Song birds built nests, and caroled
Their songs of cheer apart.
And from it still floats back to US,
O'ercoming sin and strife,
Sweet as the breath Of roses blown,
The fragrance of her life.

FURNACE WOULD NOT WORK.

Mr.. Small and his family suffered
during the last cold spell, owing to
the fact that their furnace gave out
ON one Of the coolest nights and there
was no other means of heating the
house Investigation disclosed the
fact that Master sam Small had filed
the furnace with everything that was
not cOmbustible. IL Is needless TO say
that the young man was the warmest

for the purpose outlined, IL the one
serious ploblem-clean, paved streets
can be overcome.
The proposed park at the ferry depot
will have to be raised to the official
grade if its creation is ever undertaken.
In this event the State Board of Har-
bor Commissioners will have to raise
the grade of East street several feet to
conform with the changed grade of
Market street. This the board will un-
doubtedIy do If the city agrees to place
Market street on an unyielding founda-
ton of piling from the waterfront to
Sansome. The ferry building was
placed on a foundation of piIing and
according to x-Chief Engineer Howard
c. Holmes, under whose supervision the
building was constructed, there has
been practically no settlement in spite
of the immense weight Of the building
If the plans of the association can be
carried out successfully with the aid
of the city's official department the
fresh, healthy summer winds of San
Francisco will no longer bring with
them the curse of dust and sand and
the odors of caved in sewers.

HAS WILD RIDE
IN AUTOMOBILE
Mrs. W. w. DelanO Whirled
Down a Steep Grade in a
Motor, but Escapes Death
PINNED UNDER MACHINE
Vehicle Is Overturned and
the Woman Is Caught
Beneath the Heavy Car

Though she was whirlded down
steep grade in an unmanageable au-
tomobile and when the bulky, car
overturned pinned under it. Mrs. W.
w. Delano escaped with some severe
bruises and lacerations. The mishap
occurred yesterday on the steep grade
Of South Broderick street running from
Fourteenth street to Buena Vista ave-
nue..
Mrs. Delano started from her home,
e South Broderick street, in the ma
chine, which she is accustomed to
handle herself. Just as she neared the
residence of William Corbin something
connected with the mechanism of the
car snapped and the ponderous vehicle
started to roll rapidly down the hill
In vain Mrs. Delano tugged at the
levers. The automobile gained mo-
mentum at every yard. and all that the
terrified woman could do was to cling
to the lever and pray that the car
would not plunge over a steep en-
bankment that lined the road. Several
of Mrs. Delano's neighbors saw her
speeding 10 certain destruction (as
they thought), but were powerless to
help her.
Almost in front of the Delano home
the rapidly moving car swerved and
overturned. Mrs. Delano was pinned
under il. Several women who saw the
accident hurried to the rescue, and,
with the help of Mrs. Delanos two
boys, raised the car and pulled her out.
Mrs. Delano was badly shaken up,
and it is believed that her shoulder
has been dislocated. The woman chauf-
feur and all who witnessed the acci-
dent consider her escape from death
miraculous. Mrs. Delano Is the wife
of w. w. Delano of Delano Bros. The
automobile was a Christmas present
given TO her by her husband. The ma
chine was badly damaged.

BAsALT BLOCK REPAIRING.

The basaIt block streets have, to a
certain extent, il Is learned by those Of
the association, been repaired in some
localities by simply having a force Of
men dig up the blocks and relay them
in the sand. Where the grade has sunk
sand is hauled TO I'LL the street up to
the grade. After resetting the inter
stices are filed by shoveling over the
blocks a mixture OF dirt and gravel
Water makes such repaired" street

into a stretch Of fine dust.
Two classes of street pavement are
under consideration by the association
Some Of the members favor such as is
laid on Third street, which is basalt

in with cement This method prevents
the earth from working UP between the
blocks. and provided the street is swept
and sprinkled it viii always be clean.
Asphalt and bitumen will be used on
nearly all of the proposed boulevards
where light traffic renders it prefer
able.
Secretary Thomas McCaleb of the as
sociation says that the street improve
ment scheme is one Of the important
plans Of the organization, but as yet
Mr. Burnham has not got down to
specific ideas in the matter There is
a vast deal of work to be done and the
association members naturally expect
10 have the Board of Public Works and
the Supervisors lend a helping hand in
bringing the government of street af-
fairs to such a point as viii enable

great. but there has long been COM

being rapidly drawn out to sea when
the two boys rushed into the surf

For a while the strong undertow
threatened to drag away all three. but

after a desperate struggle drew the
girl to safety. She was sent home by
her mother and the two boys hurried

that the municipal officials should

BURNdAM'S PROGRAMME.
According to the programme laid out
by the association, under advice of
Mr.. Burnham, the system of bouIe-
vsrds and avenues drawn upon pre-
ilminary plans is devised with the idea
Of so distributing traffic on certain
streets that no one thOroughfare shall
be OvefcroYded or worn down by
heavy teaming- The paving of Mar
ket street and the raising of sunken
streets to the official grade is a serious
problem and one that will be given
careful attention. II has been prac-
tically decided among eminent local
engineers that to prevent the gradual
subsistence of streets in the east side
Of the city that were laid on made
ground the piling system must be
adopted Buildings constructed on
ground east Of Sansome street have
been kept On the official grade by the
resistance afforded by piIing, the, spar
being held in place in loose, damp
soil by natural suction The restrain
ing seaWall, il is thought, will not OBJ
viate the further sinking of Market
street
There are miles Of streets in this city
that viii have 70 be repaved. and, once
repaved, must be kept clean. The bond
issue provides for large part of the
acceptance OF street work bonds is said
to be exceptionally slow. However,
now that local banks have bid in many
OF the street and sewer bonds, il is
thought that all of the issues will soon
be placed. But an enormous amount
of money will be required to place the
streets IN repair, as months of neglect
have caused them TO wear down un-
til in many places they are beyond re-
pair. Nearly everybody interested in
the improvement OF the city is also
against the rssetting Of basalt block
streets unless the work is done with
concrete Gaping
