Forgot the VioIets.

Among the characteristics of
Walter Savage Lander, the famous
author, were his observation-disclosures
and his passionate love for animals
and the vegetable world. On one
occasion, having suffered not long
before from leaving the key of his
portmanteau behind him, he took
special precautions before starting
on journey to see that his keys
were in his pocket When, however,
he produced them in triumph at his
journeys end he found that he had

Wholesome Anyway.

Archdeacon Sinclair in his LEAD
ers of Thought" etc, tells story
of an Eton head master known as
''Flogging" Keate. Finding one
morning a row of boys in his study,
he began, as usual, to fog them.
They were too terrified at the awful
little man to demonstrate till he had
gone halfway down the row, when
one plucked up courage to falter
out, "Please, sir, we're not up for
punishment; we're a confirmation
class" Never mind" said DR..
Keate. 81 must be fair all around,
and it will do you good" So he fin
ished them off.

Ashamed to Take the Money.

For awhile after little Clayton
was sent to the kindergarten he re-
ceived frequent merit cards. Every
time he brought home reward to-
ken his mother and father and aunt
and his grandfather and uncle gave
him a penny. Soon the virtuous life
palled upon him, and he brought
home no more cards indicating that
he was a good boy. One day his
grandfather remarked:
"Why is it, Willie, that you no
longer get merit cards? Don't YOU
remember we always gave you pen
MES when you were good ?"
CHATS just ii" replied Clayton.

The First Pins.

Thorns were originally used in
fastening garments together. Pins
did not Immediately succeed thOrns
as fasteners, but different apph-
ances were used, such as hooks,
buckles and laces. 1t was the latter
half of the fifteenth century before
pins were used in Great Britain.
When first manufactured in Eng
land the iron wire, of the proper
length, was filed to a point and the
other extremity twisted into a head.
This was a slow process, and 400 or
500 pins was a good days work for

FINEST STRUCTURES GONE.
Story of a Desolate Night Mid Fire
and Ruins.

SAN FRANCISCO April 19.-Day dawned
upon a zone of death and destruction. Dur
ing the night the flames had consumed many
of the clty's finest structures and skipped In
a dozen directions to the residence portions.
They had made their way over into the
North Beach section and. springing anew
to the south they reached out along the
shipping section down the bay shore, over
hills and across toward Sd and Townsend
streets. Warehouses, houses and manufac-
turers' concerns fell in their path. This
completed the destruction of the entire dis
trict known as the south of Market street.
How far they are reaching to the south
across the channel cannot be told as this
part of the city is shut off.
After dark thousands of the homeless were
making their way with their blankets and
scant provisions to Golden Gate Park and
the beach to find shelter. Those in the
homes the north Of the Hayes valley
wrecked section piled their belongings in
the streets. and express wagons and auto
mobiles were hauling the things away to
the sparsely settled regions.
Down town everything is ruin. Not
business house stands Theaters are
crumped into heaps. Factories and COM
mission houses lie smodering on their for
mer sites All of the newspaper plants have
been rendered useless.
1t is estimated that the loss in San Fran
cisco will reach from si5O, 100000 to $780,
100000. These figures are in the rough, and
nothing can be told until partial accounting
is taken.
On every side there was death and suffer
ing. Hundreds were injured, either burned.
crushed or struck by falling pieces from the
buildings. The number of dead is not
known, but it is estimated that at least 500
met their death In the horror.
