There nre very few OF us who do not
sometimes need to rcmind ourselves that
we would better be patient with our liv-
ing loved ones. The circle shall not al
why's remain unbrokcn. While we are
together It is worth while to trample
down our sclfislWess and live with those
who belong to us in something better
than mere peace and resignation, In real
Joy and giadness and In frequent yield
Ing little things that the great thing In
our life may be love.
sweet friend, when thou and i are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor.
When small shall be our need Of grace
From comrade or from neighbor,
Past all tho strife, the toll, the care,
And done with ail the signing,
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas. by simply dying!
Then lips too chary of their praise
VIII tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall not defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift a stono
Where stones were thick to cufnber
Our steep path will ncatter flowers
Above our pillowed slurber
Sweet friend, perchanoe both thou and !,
Ere love IS past forgiving,
Should tnlse the earnest lesson home
Re patient with the living,
Te-day's repressed rebulse may save
Our binding tears to-fnorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest-edge,
May whet a nameie5s sorrow.
IT'S easy to be gentle when
DEATHS silence shaulcs our clamor,
And easy to discern the Best
Through, ,rlenory's mystic ginuaor;
But wise 1t were for the eand mo,
Ere love Is past foIgiving,
To take the tender Lesson home
BE patient with tho living.

RIPLEY SAYS ROADS

SANTA FE is GOING AHEAD WITH
COAST WORK
Official Announces Pluck of San Fran
cisco and Says the New City VIII
Loom Up Soon Greater and More
Beautiful Than Ever

E. p. Ripley, president of the Santa
Fe railroad, who has been in San Fran
cisco, says that he cannot as yet esti-
mate the damage that has been done
to the railroads there, but that what
ever it is it will be repaired with all
possible speed.
Mr.. Ripley went to San francisco
by special train as soon as he heard
that the city was being destroyed in
order to be on the ground to know
what the situation was and in order
that he could better prepare plans for
future building there.
Mr.. Ripley has given orders to spend
100000 recently set aside for the com
pletion of the company's China basin
terminal.
During the last two years the Santa
Fe has spent more than $2,000,000 in
filling in the basin and preparing ii
for tracks and freight warehouses.
Mr.. Ripley is well pleased by the
active spirit of the people at San Fran
cisco and says that he believes that
the city will be rebuilt rapidly. He
says that the Santa Fe will go ahead
with the developments there as planned
before the earthquake,
The terminals at Spear and Harrison
streets and at China basin were not
injured by either temblor or fire.

FUN MAKING RULES
IN "BROWN'S IN TOWN"
AT THE BELASC0

The best work in Browns in Town"
at the Belasco is undoubtedly done by
Miss Adele Harrington whose fun
making is of natural sort and whose
rich voice both in speaking and sing
ing give much of pleasure to the
listener The introduction of "LiP GaP'
in the second act was well received and
a round of applause greeted each
stanza. This was the actress first ap-
pearance after several weeks illness.
AS Suzanne Dacre she certainly knew
a thing or two.
Miss Margaret Langham was as
usual sweet young wife, but she
demonstrated an ability beyond just
standing up to be embraced by a sue
cession of stage husbands. Miss Royce
as Primrose, the 'Lady Cook" played
a prominent part in all humorous sit
uations.
AS for the men-well that's another
story and summing the whole thing
up one may safely say that they have
not failed to make all that could be
made out of the thing, for honestly
now-"Brown's in Town" is well-not
just all that it might be.

WANT CONSULATE HERE
Local Japanese Petition Home Cow
ernment to Establish Office
in Los Angeles

Dispatches were sent to Japan yes
terday by representative committees
from the local colony of Japanese, ask
ing that the Japanese consulate of
California be established permanently
at Los Angeles.
The fire and earthquake at San Fran
cisco demolished the Japanese con-
sulate there and at present the Jap
anese are without representation. The
Chinese are practically in the same
fix, but will not ask for aid, since
the local Chinese through the board of
trade and the Chinese chamber of
commerce always manage to settle
their differences among themselves
with never an appeal to the outside.
1t is stated by the local Japanese
that most of the Japs of San Francisco
will come to Los Angeles, and that
therefore they are confident of having
the consulate established here.

DROWNED YOUTH A REFUGEE
Distressing Features Connected With
Death of Young Shirley
at San Pedro
Special to The Herald.


SAN PEDRO, April 30.-Coroner
Trout of Los Angeles held an inquest
on the body of the boy James Shirley.
who was drowned from ,the deck of
the Samoa last Monday and which was
discovered by sailor under the wharf
near the spot where the vessel has been
tied up during its stay here.
The verdict of the coroner was ''acci-
dental drowning"
The father, who is the chief engineer
of the Samoa, was notified by wire of
the discovery, he being at Caspar, but
no word has been received from him.
The body will be held until word is
received.
The death of the little lad is particu-
larly distressing because of the fact
that the family resided in San Fran
cisco and had its home destroyed by
the earthquake, and when the boat
came along the boy was sent down
with his father to be safe. 1t appears
that he must have fallen off the gang
plank while going onto the dock, as
he was found at that locality, under
the Crescent wharf The bay in the
Immediate surroundings was dragged
thoroughly at the time.
