had sort of dream that he was back
on the old farm and that his wife
was trying to get him up to do the
chores. When the crash came he mere
ly remarked:
s1There, there, ma! All right, all
right, Marthy, I hear vel! I'll be
right up"
Then he turned over and was only
prevented from going to sleep by the
bed tipping over.
Mr.. Sittner's experience in the
earthquake, as told by him in the Yer

shock. I rushed into the street and
saw an enormous assure opening.
Hurrying into the shed I secured an
ak and two stout stakes. These ]
drove into the ground on each side of
the assure. All this time the quake
was going on. then rushed back into
the shed and secured q stout pulley
and tackle. Hitching this to the
stakes, I drew the earth slowly to-
gether again and made the rope fast
to a tree.
"By this time the earthquake was
over, and thanks to my foresight and
quick action, there was no crack in
the earth on San Pedro street. One
of the neighbors told me it was the
strangest sight he ever saw, that of
me trying to drive stakes while the
earth was trembling violently. About
every second stroke I missed, but when
I did hit it, it went, for the excite

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION

The ringing of nightbell is usually
the signal for coming into action-that
is, when it is a DOCTORS nightbell.
Sometimes, however, it is rung for some
trivial purpose that is calculated to ex-
asperate the man who has been brought
from his snug couch, and then the doc
tor needs all his good nature Ito refrain
from vigorous remarks.
Still, there are good-natured doctors,
and DR.. Bielby was one. One night he
heard the bell CO. and hustling into his
dressing gown he hurried to the front
door. ~. %is

paper package, from which buds and

DOCTOR He took the bundle carefully,
closed the door and carried the flowers
into the kitchen. There he placed. a
dishpan in the sink, ran few inches
Of water in it, carefully pressed the
base OF the package into the water and
went back to bed, thinking how pleased

The next morning he went into the

THIS CAT UNDERSTOOD

AS striking a cat story as I have
heard in a long time comes from Al
ton. N. H., and is vouched for abso-
lutely. The cat was accustomed to
visit the next-door neighbor after each
meal to- be fed and petted, bringing
also two kittens y = Nh
One Of the women of the house thus
visited, who had entertained a dislike
for, cats, finally, on observing the ami.
mails, expressed aloud a liking for the
gray kitten and said she intended to
ask to be allowed to keep it.
The next day, when Mother Cat came
for her bits. only one kitten accom-.
panied her, but she took away some
choice morsels for the one left at home
This continued several days, when the
woman who had at first expressed in.
tention to get the kitten which the cat
was feeding remarked that she had
given up wholly the idea Of securing
the gray kitten. All three felines up.

so since.--Boston Record = -!

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA

The emperor ofHAustria belongs to
that category of persons who thruout

by his manner of life. The emperor,
who formerly smoked ten or fifteen
strong Virginia cigars daily, now con-

and some light wine; he sleeps much
and great care is taken during his sleep

COULD USE THAT BRAND OF HOG

An Oklahoma paper tells this one !.
Some few days ago two Oklahoma City
real estate men had German farmer
In tow and carted him into the coun-
try to see farm which has considers
able low land and where overhows are
frequent. They passed barn where
the high watermark was about eight
feet above the ground
and what is that - inquired the
farmer.
One Of the real estate men, who is
ever ready with an answer, looked up
at the watermark and said:
That's nothing. It's where the
hogs have been brushing up against
the barn. n *.
They drove on in silence, when sud-
denly the farmer broke the atmos-
phere by saying:
~ do not want the farm, but will
buy all the hogs like that you can pos
sibly scrape up

SAN FRANCISCO FIRE
As seen FROM SEA

PORT Los ANGELES, April 81
burg, Germany, put in here this morn
ing and is the first vessel to bring by
the water route those who witnessed
the destruction of San Francisco. The
afternoon, when the flames seemed to
be at their highest" said First Mate
Charles Appen, in his description of
the catastrophe. AS seen from the
bay it was a sublime but terrific spec
tacle We We're anchored more than
mile out in the roadstead, but the wind
as it swept over the burning city and
down upon us was like the breath OF
a demon. At times it was impossible
for us to remain on deck. The water
of the bay became heated. The terrific
conclusions of dynamite and the hrlng
OF artillery along the waterfront by the
soIdiery in their attempts to stop the
flames brought hundreds of fish to the
surface. Our clearance papers were
burned but We could not retain our
anchorage and late Thursday afternoon
we started toward the open sea.
''Wharves along the Waterfront
which had not been consumed were
filed with people. They beckoned to
US that they needed assistance we
could see them holding up their hands
in the attitude of prayer. 1t was the
thought of self preservation for US all
that kept the Itauri's course unchang-
ed AS we passed through the Golden
Gate the hills on each side We're
mountains of flame. In many places
the earth spots showed where the
buildings had been already consumed,
but these We're few.
1T was dusk when we passed out OF
the harbor The waves, instead OF
scintillating with the rays of setting
sun. burned scarlet first to the right
and then to the left. AT midnight we
were out to sea. l should say, thirty
miles The flames were still visible ,
and until almost the dawn of another
day we stood on deck and watched the
reflection of the flames as they played
to and fro on the cloud mountains
which hung as a pail over the ruined
city

Republicans are grieving at the Pres
l0ents new pronunciamentO. Then
private declarations that he was going
as far as the Socialists would go have
become more emphatic with the Pres
ident's public attack upon United
States District Attorney Humphrey for
his decision in the beef packers case
While that decision has been generally
! denounced on all sides here, the more
! conservative men have always hesi-
| tated to publicly assail judge, lest
/ they be classed with Bryan and Till
man as implacable foes of the judi
| ciary. Now in less than a week the
! President has invited the criticism
! that he is SocialiStic for proposing a
national Inheritance tax and that he
is Furthermore Bryanistic by assaii-
ing a member of the judiciary. His
political associates in Congress feel
all the more bitter about it, because
they claim that as President, he is far
less at liberty 10 utter such criticisms
than Tfllman. a United States Senator,
or Bryan. Only a candidate for Presi-
dent would be.
1t has been decided this week also
that the coal carrying railroads shall
be prosecuted. That has added still
more TO the pOlllcdl interest, Tor
progress of the prosecution will be dis
cusSed in the Congressional campaign.
The Republicans will claim the credit
for it, because their President is doing
it, but the Democrats will calm the
credit because the important evidence,
that started the President to institute
suits, was brought out by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission acting on
= TO
Resolution. Both Senator Tillman and
Representative Gillespie being Demo-
Gratis, their party will have some
ground to claim credit. especially as
the President, in a message to Con-
gress, expressed his scenticism of that
resolution and practically said that he
did not think it necessary.
With all these proceedings against
trusts. the President having taken care
to emphasize the important steps he
has taken upon the public mind in
speeches and messages to Congress, it
will be little wonder if tariff is forgot
ten, or if the abuses in the Depart
ments and the lavish expenditure of
money is forgotten for the time being. |
AS a large number of conservative /
Republicans stayed away from the |
polls in 1904, the question is asked |
still larger number will not |
stay away next November when only |
state and Congressional candidates are /
to be voted for? What the Democrats |
will be able to do under such condi- |
tons, if most of them are willing to !
vote for their own candidates, instead |
Of expressing disgust by voting the
Republican ticket as they did in 1904,
is also an interesting question to the |
Notable as most of Mr. Rooseveltsf
has been, it may be that
he is entering upon a much more not
4 BILE period and that he is determined
to, have a trust or bust. If he does
get trust or two in the course of the
1ext two years, if he humbles the
great anthracite trust. for instance,
and brings it PROSTATE to his feet, 1T
s not difficult to conceive that his pop
larity will be greater the country over
han any other American enjoyed.
