Scietiea Cured Afier Twenty Years of
 TottNTe.

For more than twenty years Mir. J. B. Massey, of 1922 c inton street, Min neapolis, Minn., was tortured by sci atica. The pain and suffering which he endured during this time is beyond comprehension. Nothing gave him any permanent relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain E'alm. One appli- cation of that linim ent relieved the pain and made sleep and rest possi- ble, and less than on, bottle has effect en a permanent cure. MT. Massey re- lates his experience for the benefit of others wno may be similarly afflicted. If troubled with sciatica or rheumatism why not try a 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for yourself how quickly 1t relieves the pain. For sale by all dealers.

PASSED SAFELY THROUGH
Two Former Citizens 0f Flagstaff Tell of Their Experiences ln San
 Francisco Disaster.

The following letters received here this week, give the experience of two of our former citizens, who passed through the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
 Both pr. Miller, who formerly practiced dentistry here, and MT. Gale, who was an old-timer, have many friends in Flagstaff and vi- cinity, who will be glad to hear that they escaped unharmed, and sympathize with them over the loss of their property.
 Gazelle, Cal, May I, o6. Prof. A. E. Douglass, Flagstaff, Ariz
 Dear Friend-Yours of April 25 just received and l assure you that like all other letters of inquiry and kind expressions, it was greatly appreciated.
 First of all, we pulled through safely. A friend of mine, MT. Wright, who is manager of the Dewey mine here, and whose wife was visiting us at the time, came down and brought us here and has us comfortable domiciled in a two- roomed cottage about 100 feet from the eating house, where we enjoy an excellent table. So for our selves we are lucky in the extreme. 1 lost my office complete, except about S75.oo worth of scrap gold and possibly $50 worth of instru- ments and my books and could you ever conceive of anything so ap- palling and so hendish. Our parks and hillsides were turned into hos pitals and camp grounds. l was there from Wednesday until Sat urday afternoon. devoted my time to looking up friends, solicit ing bandages from house to house, and at night taking my place on patrol. We had to carry our water about six o'clock and cook in the tr -ets. Of course, you have got all of this from the newspapers and 1t is no doubt rehash of what you already know. As to my fu- ture am undecided. The first thing is rest of about thirty days more, which l was in need of. l don't know as will return to the city, though think it will rebuild, and l think in more beautiful and substantial way. am sorry l am not able to give more complete account of the disaster, but 1t wovld take book. l shall be glad to hear from you at any time, and hope you will never have to expe- rience the complete extinction of a city. Though, like myself, l think you would take it philosoph- ically. My wife joins me in very best wishes to yourself and wife, and thanks you most graciously for your kind interest in our welfare. Very truly yours,
 A. MILLER.

 see by your paper of April 2d, that the good people of your town and vicinity made most generous contribution to the relief commit tee of the city of San Francisco (the city of sorrow just at present., but any person that has had an experience or an acquaintance with those people wouldn't be surprised at all if your contribution had been twice as large, but the demand came in a bad time of the year for most of thhe people there.

 am not going to try and tel you all about the earthquake; there was too much of it. l landed II San Francisco the day before tht quake and was stopping at my brothers house on San Jose ave nue in that part of the city called the Mission. Myself and family were all asleep in the second story when the racket began. It was { very peculiar experience. It re minded me of being in box car ol caboose and riding on the ties. Ii shook so bad that one couldn' gather hims f and get out O. bed, but 1 could see the globes falling off of the chandelier, a big dresser moving towards the center of the room, pictures swinging vases and other bric-a-brac falling of the mantel into the grate. In fact everything was on the move and in less time than 1t takes to tell it we could hear people screaming m the street. The quake didn't alarm me at first and l told my folks to stay in bed and keep quiet and I dressed in a hurry and went down on the street to see the sights, and there were all kinds oi sights to see. Half of the people didn't stop to dress and some oi them stood and yelled and acted very crazy.
 We put in two days and nights on the streets before we were able to get out of the city, but we had plenty to eat and didn't suffer as bad as the majority and came out all right. None of us caught cold or felt much the worse for our ex. perience, although 1t is one we will never forget. One thing that was noticeable was that lots of people who had lived on the same block for years and never had spoken to each other, were seen talking and telling their troubles to each other as though they were relatives. Sc hereafter they will be more neigh, borly, but whether it is the best ol not you may guess, can't tell.
 On April 26, at 3;2o p. m. we felt another quake here which star tied the people, and also on May I, at I:Io p. m., the houses shook and some people ran for the street and were afraid to return for some time.
 This town was not damaged very much compared with most of the towns around it. Some few build ings were broken up, but only the brick ones suffered severely, the others sustaining such injuries as were caused by falling chimneys and broken glass. A great many people came here from the city tc remain indefinitely. Lots of busi ness men live here and go ana come every day, as it is but fifty minutes ride to the business par of Frisco.

The Father of Emperors.

FROM tne LONDON Mail.
An anecdote, hitherto unpublished. con.

of the mperor OF Austria, appears In a
new book written by a retired diplomat.
says our Vienna correspondent.
During a walk alone in the Syrian hills
the archduke got into conversation with a
talkative farmer. who. after giving a good
deal of information about his w family.
suddenly asked the archduke:
What's your father?"
Emperor was the answer.
Look here" said the farmer, 'if YOU
want to be funny don't you shout. There
are gendarmes about, and you might easily
get run in for lese majestic! l dare say
you've a brother. What's he?"
"Oh, he's an emperor, too"

farmer, laughing heartily. Have you any

What's he?"

'Ha, hal" roared the farmer, digging
the father of emperors in the ribs. "Hay1
you any more sons Of that sort?"
Yes, a second called Max"
Isn't he an EMPEROR"
Yes. he is also an emperor"
After relieving his feelings by giving
a wild leap in the air the farmer clapped
the arshduke on the shoulder and said:
