today:
THE thousands who spent last night out
of doors were fairly comfortable, most of
them being sheltered by tents Consider
able distress, however, was caused by
heavy fog which came up during the night
and also by dew. Cinnamon are in evil
dence about the ferry house by the thou
sands. all of them waiting anxiousiy to get
out of the city and all of them carrying
big bundles.
THE principal food of those who remain
in the city is composed of canned goods
and crackers. The refugees who succeed
in getting out of San Francisco are met
as soon as they enter the neighboring
towns by representatives of bakers who
have made large supplies of bread and
who Immediately deal them out to the hun
CRY people"

their being driven away from their homes;

the cases mentioned were under state 1uris-
diction and not federal.

The Aged Parent.

To those whose homes are honor
ed by the presence Of an aged
parent, we would say: Deal very
gently with those who are on the
downhill of life. Your own time Is
coming to be where they now are.
You, too, are stepping Westward. :
Soothe the restlessness Of age by
amusement, by consideration. by
non interference, and by allowing
plenty OF occupation TO fall In the
hands that long for It, Only let II
be OF their own choosing, and cease
to order their ways for them as
though they were children. "A
hoary head at the firesideis acrown
of glory TO the house whereitdwells.
The blessing on the aged is dew
on the pastures, as the falling Of
sunlight in a showerpy place"

Crusoe's Isle Destroyed.

A report reached New York, Aug.
20, that the South American earth
quake destroyed the island OF Juan
Fernandez off the Chilean coast.
1t belonged 70 Chile. and on IL
we're a penal settlement and a fort.
To millions Of persons, news Of the
sinking OF the island Of Juan Fer
nandez will come with a sense of
personal loss; for that is the island
made famous by Daniel De Foe as
the scene Of the thrilling adventures
OF Robinson Crusoe," d romance
dear to every youthful heart.
That itnfnortal story is not wholly
q work Of fiction. IL was based on
the adventures Of an English private
named Alexander Selkirk. with
whom De Foe became acquainted
after he had been rescued from his
long stay on the island Of Juan Fern
andez
Alexander Selkirk, the hero of
Robinson Crusoe, was born near
ly 200 years ago in Fifeshire, Scot
land. He ran away to sea and join
ed private expedition TO the South
seas. In 17O4. while aboard the
Cirque Ports, sort Of pirate ship,
he quarreled with the captain, and,
at his own request, was put ashore
on an unexplored island which has
since been called Juan Fernandez.
Many Of the adventures ascribed 10
Robinson Crusoe, notably the sal
wage Of stores from wrecked ship
and the terror inspired by visiting
parties OF savage, actually happened
to Selkirk.
