pant. The fire on the hearth in win
ter may give cheer and take away the
sense OF absolute seclusion, and a pipe
is a good deal of company, but in
SUMNER with windows open and a
nreless hearth, even the pipe is dis
appointing makeshift for a familiar
household presence. One loves to
read if there are people moving about.
if somebody sits near with a bit of
need1ework, or if in another room
there is the low-voiced talk of young
people who are world to themselves.
or if in the nursery above there are
little rosy children fast asleep. But a
book read In the silence of a deserted
house often adds emphasis to home
sick yearning for company.
OF course, the man who is alone ut
home may write letters. Whether or
not he does so depends on his facility
IN description and in the presence or
absence of gift of humor. A man
denclent in the sense of humor loses
nlne-tenths of the happiness that
might be his. Few situations are
without a side that sparkles with fun
1or those who can discern 1t. A young
man who lost, everything in the San
Francisco disaster wrote home to his
people that for climatic reasons he
mad crossed the bay. 1T is cooler over
mere, he said. And the letter in
which he recounted a catalogue of
m1sfortunes real enough to crush a
weaker spirit, provoked irresistible
laughter by it's mirthful sallies. The
man who sees the fun in things and
VINO refuses to be tragic when there
Is the slightest chance to be comic Isl
lmmeasurably more sensible and more
fortunate than his fellow mortals who
are nothing if not solemn and serious.
A good plan for husbands and sons
abandoned in summer by their kins-
folk, as Is our American custom,
might be to pool their loneliness. It
is not always safe for reasons of
health and because of the accidents of
sudden illness that sometimes seize
those who are ordinarily we'll, for any
one to remain entirely alone in a.
house at night
Few men fear the midnight burglar.
With the silver in the safe deposit
vault and the jewels in the possession
OF their wearers, there is little to
tempt thieves, unless they are of the
variety who steal lead pipes and bur-
row in the cellar. But two or three
neighbors living together for a few
weeks, with a housekeeper engaged to
see that they have the material COM
forts of home, might defy loneliness
and emerge from the season which to
them affords only fortnight's vaca-
tion none the worse for it's expe-
riences.

In the sitting-rooms of many houses

are quite unnecessary, remarks
writer in the Farmers Review. Such
a doorway can very easily be made to
form most useful piece Of furniture.
Here are two good methods suggest

and pattern, and fitted him with
painful brevity. A small boys
stiff hat rested on his bushy, un-

AS Uriah stood upon the COT

it was easy to imagine the prob

his $40. 1t would be like finding

street. He hurried over, as
though he was afraid Uriah

JEFF Blaine, the huckster, who
had paid a visit to the city,

Gas CORPORATION
To BUY BONDS

The Pacific Gas and Electric Corpora
ton will pay the sum of $25o,000 over
to the Union Trust Company to estab-
lish a sinking fund under the terms of
the trust by which the properties of
the San Francisco Gas and Electric
Company and the California Gas and
Electric Corporation were acquired.
The sinking fund is for the purchas-
ing of bonds in the sum of $3.50, ,0OO
The Union Trust Company acted as
trustee in financing the deal.
The significance of this first payment
of quarter of a million dollars into
the sinking fund is Indicative that the
deal for the entire properties has not
advanced materially since Messrs. de
Saba and Martin returned from New
York, where they conferred with Ed
win Hawley.
President Britton said yesterday that
the company is willing to sell it's prop
critics and business if it can get the
price desired. In the meantime, said
Britton, the company is going right
along, meeting all its obligations.
The interest payment due on the out
standing liability of the corporation
was paid December Is.
I'VE have plenty of money" said
Britton. Our monthly pay roll for
labor amounts to about 100000. Cop
per has advanced in cost 100 per cent.
and iron has gone up 40 per cent, and
other materials that we require also
cost more, but all obligations are met
California is very prosperous. and our
business in the interior Is good There
is more money in circulation in San
Francisco than there was year ago,
and business is good here also."

STREET CAR HITS
PEDESTRIAN

Another street car accident and one
which may have fatal results occurred
about five o'clock last evening when
Charles Kuneo, a stevedore living at
731 Laurel avenue, was knocked down
and run over by an east bound Market
street car near the intersection of Spear
and Market streets, the spot that has
become so prolific of such accidents re-
Gently
At the Harbor Emergency Hospital
1t was found that Kuneo had suffered
serious decorations of the scalp, a deep
wound over the right eye and a pos
sible fracture of the skull. his con-
dition being semi UP to a
late hour last night.
Just how the accident occurred IS
not known. but it is supposed that he
was trying to cross in front of the car
and in the confusion and jam OF the
evening rush on lower Market failed
to use proper precautions.
