you have friend worth loving,
Love him-yes and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words meier be said
OF q frend-til he is dead?
IF YOU hear song that thrills you.
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer 4
Wait deserved praises long,
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may mpart?
If you hear prayer that moves you
By it's humble, pleading tone
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of 1.-TWO or three" in prayer?
IF you see the hot tears falling
From weeping brothers. eyes,
Share them. Yes, and by the sharing, 4
Own your knship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When brothers heart is sad?
Ifa silvery laugh is rpplDg
Through the sunshine Oh bis face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans SAYING
"For both grief and joy place."
There ia goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
IF your work Is made more easy
BY friendly, helping hand
Say so Sneak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for word OF cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of Kindness
All enriching as you 60;
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver;
He will make each seed to grow.

GIVES BLACK EYE
To SEATTLE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SEATTLE, Sept. 2s.-Seattie's repu-
tation as a shipping port is receiving
black eye in the East because of con-
gested conditions in the local United
States custom-house. Long delays in
passing merchandise, due to lack of
sufficient inspectors and clerks, is re-
sulting in monetary losses to the big
importers in Eastern States, and un-
less the present conditions are soon
remedied it is understood that many
big shipments will be diverted to Ta-
coma and sent where customs inspect
ors work with dispatch.
Appeals for more inspectors have
been made to Deputy Collector Mitten
of the Seattle office and forwarded to
Collector Harper without results The
port employees of the district are al
ready overworked, and neither the col
lector nor his local deputy has any
authority to secure extra men. AS a
last effort to secure additional and
competent help at the custom house
the following telegram was sent to the
Secretary of the Treasury at Washing
ton yesterday by George s. Busl- & Co.,
Inc;
More help must be furnished the To-
cal custom -house as quickly as possi-
bic. Business congested and most de-
plorable conditions have existed so long
that this port should receive some con-
sideration. Long delays in passing mer-
chaBdise are causing importers great
hardships and pecuniary losses. This
telegram represents fifty importers, and
an answer is respectfully requested"

IOsANGELES SENDS
AGENT To TOWN

Another agent, representing Gus
todians of funds subscribed for the re-
lief of San Francisco, is in town. He
halls from Los Angeles and is 7. j.
Stuart, secretary of the Associated
Charities of that city.
Il am looking into conditions in this
city" said Mr.. Stuart yesterday, and
want to get at the facts so far as
possible. Down in Los Angeles we
don't want any one to suffer, but We
do not want the money subscribed to
be expended foolishly, 1 am here to
make investigation and will report to
my people just what the conditions are
as I find them"
Mr.. Stuart would say nothing about
the probable disposition of the Los
Angeles funds, although he did say that
they had not been subscribed for the
relief of San Francisco alone, but OF
all earthquake sufferers, not only OF
San Francisco. but of San Jose. Santa
Rosa, Oakland and wherever in fact
there is distress due to the April
calamity.
The visit of Mr.. Stuart is important.
for upon his report will probably de-
pend not only the disposition of the
Los Angeles fund of over $4,000. but
of the funds of several other Southern
California communities. Santa Monica
holds about $4,000 for the relief of San
Francisco sufferers: Long Beach,
$4,000: Pasadena, $4,000. and River
side, $4,000. Other scattering amounts
are held in different communities of
the southland.
The Relief Corporation has removed
from it's list of assets S4S3, 900 held in
New York and known as the Chamber
of Commerce fund. There seems to
be much question as to what disposi-
ton shall be made of this fund, al
though it will eventually be expended
for the relief of San Francisco suf-
ferers.
The corporation received yesterday
from NJ j. Gardner of Stockton s1i16,
to be used in its work. Mr.. Gardner,
writing in behalf af anonymous sub
scribers to the fund, states that he is
of the opinion that no better DISPOSE
ton can be made of the money than
to let the Relief Corporation handle II.

ACTION OF POLICY.
HOLDERS NEEDED.
II. Brunner Cables From
Germany for Extra Pow
ers Of Attorney at Once
REPORT COMING SOON

A cablegram was received yesterday
at the Office of the Organized Policy
Holders at 81 Turk street from Henry
policy holders who is now in Berlin.
Germany, attempting to secure an ad-
iustment of claims with the German
companies on an absolute dollar for
dollar basis, asking that more powers
of attorney representing more policy
holders be forwarded to him at once.
He states In the eablegram that quick
action is essential to the success of his
efforts and that much depends on
spond at once by turning over their
claims and powers of attorney to the
organization he represents.
Mr.. Drummer has already had confer
enees with the officials of several of
the largest companies, including the
Rhine and Moselle. the Transatlantic and
the North German, and expects to leave
Monday or Tuesday of this week for
Vienna, where he will visit the off,
cials of the Austrian Phoenix Company
and endeavor to reach some under
standing. He has as yet made no COM
plete report of what success has at
tended his efforts. but a full statement
is expected by mail in the course of the
next few days.
Mr.. Drummer has in his possession
powers of attorney representing about
s1,500.e00, but as this represents but
small portion of the claims of San
Francisco policy holders against the
German companies, every effort is be-
ing made to secure more without de-
lay. The powers of attorney are re-
ceived at the Germania National Bank,
which has been selected as the deposit
tory of the Organized Policy-Hoiders.

CORPORAL VICTIM
Of BOLD THIEF.

The story of daring crime was told
to the police yesterday when the trans
port Sherman arrived from the Philip
pines. and soon after the big vessel
doeked Peter Barth, discharged pri-
vate from the Philippines, was arrested
and taken to the Bush-street station.
He is suspected of having stolen $1120
from Corporal r. A. Hanke, recently
discharged from the Eighth Infantry.
According to the story of the cor
poral, he left the islands with $1120 in
United States money and many valua-
BILE curios in his trunk. After the
transport pulled out of Honolulu Hanke
discovered that the money and curios
were missing.
He notified the officers of the Sher-
man, and after careful investigation
they fastened their suspicious on
Barth. His effects were searched and
several curios belonging TO the corr
poral were found among them. Two
Wells-Fargo drafts of $50 each payable
to Barth were discovered in the sus-
pected mans grip.
Barth stoutly denied his guilt when
searched by the officers of the Sherman,
but they concluded tn rurn him over to
the San Francisco police. Detectives
will be put to work on the case today.

AUTO RIDE rs CAUSE

James Dunphy, son of the late mill
lionaire cattleman and man about
town, was given a beating by William
j. Bloomberg, a hammam bath pro-
prieter. on Friday night at Sutter and
Fillmore streets. The bath man al
leges that Dunphy owed him S75 for
many months and says he concluded to
ciety man was slow in making good.
Dunphy was standing in front of a
cigar store talking to a crowd of
friends, when Bloomberg doye in sight,
Without going through any prelir1in-
ary ceremony, the bathhouse man ap-
preached Dunphy and asked him if he
intended to pay that SIS. Receiving
negative reply, Bloomberg brought a
haymaker over on the jaw of the So
ciety man When he had finished he
produced a receipt for SIS and handed
it to Dunphy.
"I've got mine now" said the bath
man, and you've got yours, so we're
square. Good evening"
1t took but a few moments to do all
this. but in that time big crowd
gathered around and soon all Fillmore
street was talking about the affair.
Dunphy's friends did some talking but
none of them seemed anxious to
take a punch at Bloomberg. Dunphy
himself was satisfied to walk away and
hide himself as quickly as possible.
According to Bloomberg Dunphy
ehugged up to his old establishment
on Mason street several months ago in
an automobile. and, being without
funds. asked the bath house man to
pay the bill of SIS. Bloomberg alleges
he did so and expected Dunphy to re-
imburse him But, according to
Rloomberg's story, Dunphy never
came around.

Interests.

I wonder how many boys and girls have
some one special thing that they are inter
ested In in this age. It Is well to be very
much interested in everything, and to be
especially interested In some one thing I
know boy who Is interested in geography
and reads 1t just as he would read story
book. know another, GIRL who is interest
ed in bugs and caterpillars and moths all
sorts of things that are alive. She has quite
a collection of butterflies and all kinds of
insects. know some boys who are more
interested in snakes than in anything They
are well acquainted with their habits An
other set of boys are interested in machin-
cry. another group In photography, some
girls are interested In fancy work, some In
flowers and some in birds. Some night when
you are all alone in bed just think and
think till you have made up your mind
what you would most like to know all
about, whether horses, OF electricity or sea
shells, or whatever else may occur to YOU
Make up your mind that you will know one
thing WELL
There is another very fascinating thing
to think about. and that is what you want
to do when you are grown UP. II doesn't
matter whether you are rich or poor, you
can all do pretty much what you want to
do, If you begin early enough, and stick to
one idea. 1t Is glorious to feel that we
have the power within ourselves to be
something worth while and do something
worth while.

A Camp Trick.
A Camp Trick.


To those boys and girls who enjoy either
regular camping or spending night or two
in the woods lust for fun the experience
of the three youngsters whom once heard
of will be interesting.
The boys. two OF whom were ''city
chaps" who had been sent to an uncle
farm to gain breath after winter of hard
study, all worked hard all summer They
spent much OF the time doing the regular
farm work with the men-mowing. plowing
raking hay and storing IL in the barn,
thrashing, milking-and all the delightful
things one can find TO do on a farm. When
work llghtened about September /. the three
boys went Off to camp on the shore OF a
lake near the mountain top, taking with
them provisions enough to last for a week
They We're driven to their destination by
Sambo, the negro boy who did the chores
After he helped them to unload he left
them. promising to return for them in a
weeks time
The boys had only one small tent not
quite large enough for three but they had
brought along three large barrels and these
they used for sleeping rooms each one
curling up comfortably in the blanket in
Side. They left one head in each barrel and
slept with their feet at the closed end As
the nights were cool the protection from
the wind was needed, and with boughs and
branches they made a guard against too
much wind blowing on their heads. Two of
the barrels were placed on poles laid on the
ground. and one on stones to keep the
dampness OF the ground away. AS cozy,
warm bed. yet with plenty of air, the barrel
couch proved a great success.
One night high wind blew the tent up
from the ground and of into the lake. scat.
tering the provisions here and there, but
the boys never heard sound OF II until
one of them received blow on the head
from piece of bacon that had hung in the
tent and was following II through the air.
