The idea OF actual money value Is so init
mate a part Of the concepts which go to
make up the basis of civilization that people
forget sometimes that none value is not
positive but merely relative. This basic
fact in economies was called to the attention
OF a traveller when he was returning from
Southern California recently.
The route homeward lay through northern
Mexico, where delays in transit are the rule
rather than the exception. This time the
suspension OF traffic lasted twenty-four
hours, and there was no dining car on
the train. Those who went hungry were
told { o console themselves with the thought
that they had not been killed, and to lend a
hand at repairing the bridge.

CALLED BY EARTHQUAKE.
Traveller Had Oversight and Had
Just Time to Catch Train.

New York SUM-
1t took ME several months to get used
to the spasmOdic quiVers or small earth
quake shocks so frequent in California"
said travelling man, who, like so many
Others mOurns for the beautiful San
Fransico that was. I'm the early part of
December, 1904, l was visiting San Fran
sico for the first time, and the first earth
quake shock after my arrival proved
pretty. severe Jolt along about | a. m.
Four days later | enjoyed the novel eXpe-
rlence of being called by an earthquake.
I had a very important engagement in
San Jose, fifty miles to the south, and
there was train leaving precisely at s
a m. by the Coast line from the station
at Third and Townsend streets. This
train reaches San Jose shortly before TO-
My appointment, very important for
me, was at II. There was only one morn
ing train TO San Jose, and it was absolute
~ necessary for me TO catch that s
o'clock train; yet | relied upon my habit
OF always getting awake early and so did
not leave a call with the hotel clerk.
"Of course ! oversight At 40 on that
mOrning-the date was Dec. Is. 1904 and
the quake of that morning can easily be
VERIFIED was fast asleep in my bed in
the St Francis At 7:23 there came dis
tinct and very pronounced jolt. which
rumbled the glassware, ratified the furni-
tUre and gave my bed such a severe shock
that | jumped up expecting another and
more severe SHOCK lfllHltuldt6IN.
But except for that one big shock,
strong enough to shake things without
doing much damage, the earthquake faded
away | waited a minute or so, and then
took my watch from under the pillow to
see what time il was,
Great Scott When / saw the time |
forgot all about earthquakes in my anX-
iety to get dressed quickly and make that
train. AT 7:30 l was dressed and flying
down the hill on Powell street to catch a
car | stopped in lunch room for cup
of coffee, caught a slow car. which seemed
never to hurry, and reached the Towns
end Street depot at 7:5S.
There was a line at the ticket window,
but | rushed ahead of everyone, bought
my ticket and dashed through the gate
just as the o'clock train was pulling
out. | had to run to catch the rear car,
but fortunately i swung aboard the rear
platform, got to San Jose in time for my
appointment and found that the earth
quake had done more damage there than
it had in San Francisco, as fifty chimneys
had been toppled over.
That was the first and only time
was, ever called by an earthquake, and
believe ii is the only incident of the kind
ever recorded which can be proved TO be
absolutely true. If that earthquake had
been two minutes later | would have
missed my train and a very big business
deal in San Jose
