Confided in His Friends. FIJI

Confided in His Friends Fin
lawson of thi, city yesterday received
another letter from his son james, IN
San francisco. in which the latter gen
tlcman tells the following amusing cir
cumstance. An English gentleman ar
rived in San Francisco on the day before
the awful earthquake. and was warmly
received by group of friends and COM
fortably domiciled at the Palace Hotel
After he had partaken of lunch and en-
loved an automobile ride to the Clltf
House and such other relaXations as are
generally accorded the stranger within
the gates" of the hospitable city, he
was dining with q bcvy of friends at
the Palace, and in the course OF con-
ycrsation the subject of earthquakes was
mooted The man from England mani
tested n deep interest in the matter,
and Wis somewhat more than interested,
in fact: but he was given the assurance
that such shocks as visited the city
were but light affairs at best and not
worthy the name of genuine earthquakes
with which comforting conclusion the
| visitor was satisfied. In due time he
retired to his room on one of the lofty
floors of the great hostelry and betooE
himself to well earned rest, In the
early dawn he was pitched bodily from
his bed, and he realized at once that hi
was in the grip of one of those inconse'
Quential earthquakes that his friends
were so familiar with, and trusting i'm
plicitly on their statements of the night
before that "such shocks as fell to The
lot of the city were but light affairs" hi
climbed back into bed, and was i'm
mediately thrown out again, and AS HI
persisted in clinging to his friends esti
mate and tried to get back to his couch
he got the full benefit of the visitation
and went over on his back with the res
of the bric.a -brac, and when he coul'
get to his feet made his exit to tn
streets with the flying host of guest
, and quite as deshabille as any of tn
rest; and they say now that he will no
believe a word they tell him abou
, San Francisco; his confidence has bee
betrayed too sorely.
