InsennibIe to PaIn,

A mothers love for Ter children is al- ways being Illustrated, not only in books, but in real life. A true story Is told of a lady whose baby was very ill and who sat watching the child with absorbed attention, every instant fear ing another convulsion and praying for deliverance from it. At her side stood an older child, who had stolen into the room unobserved and who was trying to prick the little black spots in man. mas muslin sleeve with a needle he had found. Presently the father came In, and the little child was seen and sent away.
 What is the matter with your arm| whispered the gentleman to his wife when at last they turned to each other and smiled their thankfulness that the baby had fallen asleep.
 q don't know" said she. Nothing that am aware of"
 She put up her hand and found that the thin muslin sleeve was soaked with blood. The little boy had become so absorbed in his sport that he had jabbed with all his might and she in her terrible anxiety had not felt the thrusts.

SointIoa Cured After Twenty Year
 of..Torture

For more then twenty years MT. J. B. Massey, of S322 Clinton st. Minneapolis, M,nn., was tortured by sc1atica. The pain and suffering which he endured during this time is beyond cOmprehen- sion, Nothing gave him any perman- eut relief until he used Chamberlaln's Pain Balm. One application of that liniuent relieved the pain and made sleep and rest possible and less than one bottle has effected a permanent cure. MT. Massey related his experience for the benefit of others who may be similarly afflicted. If troubled with sciatic or rheumatism why not try a 2s-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain, For sale by Wm' Britt.

Not if as Rich as Rockefeller

If you had all the wealth of Roeke- feller, the Standard Oil msguate, you could not buy a better medicine for bowel complaints than Chamberlain's COlic, Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy. The most eminent physician can not prescribe a better preparation for collie and diarrhoea, both for children and adults. The uniform success of this remedy has shown it to be superior to all others. It never fails, and when reduced with water and sweetened, is pleasant to take. Every family should be supplied with it. Sold by Wm. Britt.

At Salinas, down the coast, near Mon

Great harm was wrought at Red

The little town of Gilroy is in ruins.
Practically every building of impor-

The cosmic forces brought annihila-
tom Julnbled and hideous piles OF
nnasonry mark the spots where shapely
! and beautiful structures stood. Ten
thousand persons are homeless. Fire
is sweeping through the devastated
city. One thousand people have per-
ished.
AS the great seismic tremor spent its
force the entire business section of the
city swayed and toppled over with a
great crash. just as though the hand
of Il Titan had suddenly come up from
the bowels of the earth and with one
sweep had brushed aside the pygmy
structures that were in its way, as
though they were buildings of cards, so
swift and complete was the destruc-
ton.
Not a single business building is left
intact. Main street is piled many rect
deep with the debris of fallen build
ings.
Identification of many of the bodies
thus far recovered is impossible.
The destruction includes all of the
county buildings. The four story court
house, with its magnificent dome. is
an u~nsightly pile of broken masonry
and gnarled and twisted steel.
Simultaneous with the last great
shock came the bursting of the water
mains. Only Il few moments later
flames broke forth in a score of places.

CISCO, and Tie people used canuies.
The plant of one of the gas companies
blew up, and as a measure of preeau-
ton all the other gas in the city was
turned off.
The exact loss of life will never be
known, as scores of unfortunates have
been incinerated in the flames, which
made the rescue Of those buried under
topping steeples and falling walls i'm
possible. Temporary morgues were
improvised at many points, only to be
razed by the flames.
The fire has reached the western ad-
dition. four miles westward from the
bay front, where Golden Gate park,
known as the most beautiful park in
the world. lies. IN the western addi-
ton are the cottages of the well to do

one great danger is that the food
supply will run out. Every grocery in
San Francisco has been taken by the
authorities. and each family is being
sold only one article at d time. In
many places the police and military
prohibit overcharging.

city can be seen in all it's smoky naked
ness. From the Pacific Mail dock to
Vallejo street on the west side, u dis
lance OF two miles. wreckage and ruin
are the rule. Although the fire did not
jump East street, the damage has been
enormous. The 1lled in land facing tue
ferry building Is a succession Of little
valleys. some four, others six feet
deep. The ferry tower itself is out of
plumb, and the big building is much
twisted by the earthquake.
Looking up Market street from the
ferry building. the city Is a smoldering
mass of ruins. Great manufactures,
mercantile houses. banks and Office
buildings are nowhere to be seen, and
only in spots is there so much as a
tower. the monument of the burned
structure.
The ruin in the commission and the
wholesale district is complete. Under
the fateful shock all the rookeries used
as commission houses, many of them
relics of the days of 1S4Y. collapsed.
The morgues Of the city are SO over
