go the thought of sacrificing his sleep
and his ease for Jap serving boy
would not have occurred to him.
Two blocks from the restaurant the
stranger passed a "San Francisco
Kitchen" which just at present is quite
as conspicuous as the san Francisco
face" 1t consisted of the usual stove.
indiferently protected by a windbreak
made of window blinds An old wo-
man, certainly past her allotted three
score years and ten. was frying po-
tatoes. Hundreds were passing her.
Street cars changed along Delivery
wagons threatened to cut out corners
of her rude shack The mortar dust
was flying in clouds But the old wo-
man continued her work Indifferent to
it all
How did you make out in the fire,
Auntie?" asked a young woman who
had come up.
Lost everything" replied the old
woman cheerfully. never taking her
eyes from the frying pan, Everything
but my courage"
She. too. had the San Francisco spirit
and the San Francisco face" that the
spirit makes
And when one thinks of it. the forti-
tude of the people of San Francisco
during the fire and the days that fol-
lowed it is the most wonderful feature
of the situation. Under the most try
ing conditions the word of complaint
has been the exception. With the
building of sixty years wiped out in
three days. with hundreds of millions
of property in ashes. with homes
burned and families scattered. the
people of San Francisco turn to meet
the situation without excitement, but
forcefully. confidently. braveIy. Men
counted wealthy two months ago have
taken their places in the bread line
without complaining or apparently
thought that extra consideration
should be shown them. With ample
funds in bank they waited in poverty
and the direst need without protest
until the banks could safely resume
business. And what is more extraor-
dinary than all, the women OF San
Francisco, many of whom had never
been called upon to go into a kitchen,
have been and are cooking In the
streets, as uncomplainingly under the
force of necessity as the old auntie
who had not lost her courage. After
all. it is the courage that can't DE lost
that counts more than mere wealth.
San Francisco has had IL pretty thor
oughly demonstrated that mere wealth
may be swept away in a twinkling. but
so long as the courage that brought the
lost wealth into being remains the
wealth can be restored. And it will be
restored The "San Francisco face
will see the city through.

1t was the supper hour. The Fill
more-street restaurant was rapidly fill
ing up.S Nobody paid any attention TO
the swarms of extraordinarily vicious
flies which two months ago would have
stopped every guest at the door. but
scene was not unlike that of an ordin-
ary restaurant dinner hour before the
fire. Everybody was apparently enjoy
ing himself. chatting with his neighbor
when he had a neighbor to chat with
and listening to and noting what was
going on about him when he had not.
Have you noted the San Francisco
face?'" asked the man in black coat
of the stranger who occupied a table
with him. It's the face" went on the
man. that ignores this And with a
sweep Of his hand he caused a multi
tude of flies to rise buzzingIy from the
table. cor I should say it is the spirit
that ignores this that makes the face.
The San Francisco face smiles.
do you realize" he went on. that
with misfortune that at any other time
would have crushed him? But you
would not think it by their faces nor
from their actions. There isn't Woe
begone face in the room. n you won't
find one on the streets. nor even in the
camps. Few. if any. are complaining.
Why, when San Francisco was burning
and the world weeping for her the peO-
ples of San Francisco were smiling
Perhaps he continued philosophically,
every one needed sympathy so much
that he had no sympathy TO give
others, and so by a sort of common
consent all thought of the necessity of
sympathy was cut out. Anyhow, the
San Francisco face in the midst of
disaster is better than the long face,
for the long face gets nowhere and the
San Francisco face does
The man in a black coat had finished
his dinner by this time. and the
stranger found himself listening to the
conversation of two gentlemen seated
near him.
You are not looking WELL" one
guest was saying to the other.
NO" was the reply. "A legacy of
the fire. You see, before the banks
opened I had to take what 1 could get.

LIFE INSURANCE-A Reader of The
Call, Edgemont, New The fact that a
man had life insurance policy issued
to him and that the policy was de-
stroyed by fire does not cancel the pol
icy. If he has faithfully kept his pre-

of the original policy he can secure a
duplicate from the insuring office upon
application and making proper proof

BALLAST-S. G., City A vessel is
said to "go in ballast" when it has no
cargo. 1t would be unsafe and hardly
possible to navigate a vessel without
down and serve to overbalance the
masts, rigging and all the parts above
the water. When the announcement is
made in the marine reports that a ship
came 'in ballast it means that she
came without regular cargo.

BRINGING THEM TO TIME.

The action Of Insurance Commissioner Wolf in
calling upon all the fire insurance companies to
furnish him list Of their policy holders has caused
somewhat of a commotion and no end of comment.
The large and rich companies, which have millions
of cash assets and even paying their losses
without demur, are ready to comply with the Com
missioner S demand and are placing no obstacles in
It's way; but the smaller and weaker ones which
have written risks here than they should have
done in proportion to their capital and which con
sequentIy find themselves embarrassed, are loudly
protesting. But their protests apparently will have
little effect upon the Commissioner He has the
whip hand. The law and the public are both be-
hind him and the best thing the demurring com
panies can do is to comply without resistance.
The Commissioner himself says that he has been
very lenient toward the companies, realizing the
straits in which many find themselves but the
legal time for fling proofs Of loss will soon expire
and in order to protect the policy holders he cannot
wait any longer His action was hastened by the
refusal of many of the companies to sign the agree
ment extending the time for fling the proofs of
loss. He considered this evidence that these
panies Were resorting to this subterfuge to keep
the pocy-hoders in their power and so has taken
this step nip this design in the bud He will have
the hearty support of the whole community
There has been altogether too much delay among
the companies in settling these losses 1t has at
tracted attention in the East and the news
papers there are already commenting upon the
slowness with which San Francisco is proceeding
with her permanent rebuilding We cannot afford
to permit this impression to become more pro
nounced. Every possible means to expedite the
payment of these losses should be adopted without
delay and the action of Commissioner Wolf is a
step in the right direction.
Rear Admiral McCalla. although approaching the
age of retirement being in the prime of life, natural
ly does not want to be retired. Dewey missed by
only few months being retired before the battle of
Manila, and there plenty of other good examples
to bear out Admiral McCallas contention that the
Osler principle applied to the United States navy
may be modified to advantage

his followers through the red sea of gold in 1896,
