FRISCO HAS ,4s SPIRIT.

lowed it in quivering tones, the white
haired man of God leading them with
closed eyes. When the last verse was
over the minister raised his hands.
LET us pray" said he, and his con-
gregation sank down in the grass be-
fore him. 1t was simple prayer, such
a prayer as might be offered by a
man without home or shelter over
his head-and nothing left him but
an unshaked faith in his Father.
ooh, Lord, Thy ways are past find
ing out, but we still have faith in Thee.
We know not why Thou hast visited
these people and left them homeless.
Thou knowest the reason of this DESC
lation. In OUT utter helplessness we
call on Thee for help in the hour of
our great need Bless the people of
this city, the Borrowing ones, the be-
reaved." G
All Moved BY Prayer.
The women were crying again and
one big man dug his knuckles into his
eyes without shame. The man who
could have listened to such prayer
unmoved was not in Golden Gate park.
And then came "Our Father" the

gotten. With streaming eyes and quiv-
ering lips, that little congregation re-
peated it after the minister and silent
ly bowed their heads for the benedic-
ton. 1t was simple, honest cere-
mony and there were none to scott at
the worshipers as they went their
many ways.
There were other services in San
Francisco yesterday. The people of
st. Dominicks church-their beautiful
structure a heap Of tumbled stone and
mortar-met in the vacant lot next
door and there the priests performed
their sacred rites before portion of
the altar which they had saved from
the wreck.
All through the unburned portion of
the city services were held in the vari-
GUS churches which escaped the de-
struction wrought by the earthquake
and fire.
City to Wax in Greatness.
Governor Pardee gave impetus to
the ;wift-gathering wave of determine
ton yesterday, when he said: "The
work of rebuilding San Francisco has
commenced, and expect to see the
great metropolis replaced on a much
greater scale than ever before"
His utterance is an indication of the
general opinion One hears such ex-
pressions everywhere. The rally from
half-crazed dependency is one of the
wonderful features of the greatest
catastrophe that ever befell an Ameri-
can city.
There are many reasons why the
people of this stricken community have
experienced this revival of courage,
aside from the fact that they have felt
the warm sympathy of the nation.
Splendid work on the part of the mill
tary and civil authorities thus far has
prevented the outbreak of epidemics
which was predicted so freely. Strenu-
GUS efforts by the same agencies have
saved the victims of fire and shock
from suffering the pangs Of starvation
and have clothed, thousands who
rushed from their homes in the thin
nest of attire. These things and many
more have buoyed UP the hearts of the
people.

His Bite Is Vicious.
The camel Is a dangerous animal to
ride-a much more dangerous animal
than the horse-for the reason that.
with his serpentine neck, he can reach
round when annoyed and bite his rider.
CamelS are not at all the patient,

ed. They have nasty tempers. A cara
van crossing the desert is always noisy.

A camePS bite is serious matter
The strong teeth lock in the wound and

are withdrawn again. The wound is
a horrible one. There are few camel
