THE JUDGE AND THE DOCTOR
Man of Medicine, After JurlSt'O En-
PLANTATION, Concluded 70 Let
HE Grievance Pass.

The physician was a witness In o
damage case, and his answers to Ques-
tons had been marked by more length
than lucidity. The lawyer who was
examining him several times eau
toned him to conflne his replies to
subjects involved in the questions, but
this warning had little effect. Finally
the Judge lost patience and told him
to make an effort to shorten his an
swers and to quit talking when he got
through.
This had some effect temporarily,
but a few minutes later the physician
began a long and rambling answer
which had only a vague and remote
bearing upon what had been asked
him.
Look here" said the now irate
Judge, "you are wasting the time Of
the court, the attorneys, the witnesses
and everybody else here, and delaying
the trial of the case. Now, II you don't
confine yourself to plain answers here
after l shall send you to jail for con-
tempt Of COURT"
That had its effect, and the testi-
mony Of the witness was concluded In
a reasonable time after that.
The next day the Judge and the
physician met upon the street. They
are acquaintances, and stopped and
shook hands.
Say, Judge" inquired the doctor,
would 1t be contempt Of court, now
that you are no longer on the bench,
to say that you acted like q damned
fool at the trial yesterday, and would
you send me to jail?"
"Oh, no." replied his honor, easily.
I'D go to Jail; you'd 60 to the hospl'
tai"
The physician didn't say what he
had intended to say.

YACHT FROLIC WEATHERS
ROUGH SEAS ON TRIP
Staunch Craft Arrives After
Being on Deep Since Friday

After being at sea since last Fri
day, the yacht Frolic, given up once
as lost, reached this port yesterday
morning from Santa Cruz. During the
trip up the coast the stanch craft
weathered storm blowing at As miles
an hour, and wallowed in the sea dur
ing a calm lasting IL hours.
The boat was manned by Captain
Clarkson Swain, its owner; Ben Dusen-
berry, James Weleh and Bert Nealon.
At no time during the voyage were the
amateur sailors in danger The yachts
Harpoon and Presto left Monterey bay
with the F'rolic, but encountering
rough weather outside, they put back.
The Frolic, however is a heavier and a
more seaworthy craft. than the other
two, and it was decided by those on
board to buck the storm.
When the yacht did not come into
port by Monday night the members of
the Corinthian yacnt club became
anxious for the safety of the Frolic.
Their fears were increased by a re-
port from Santa Cruz that it had piled
up on the rocks near Halfmoons bay.
coast, but this rumor could not be sub
stantiated.
Early yesterday morning their fears
were dispelled. The yacht was sighted
outside the heads, and Crowley launch
soon had it in tow. They soon reached
port, where they received the hearty
congratulations of their anxious
friends.

Advertised in Europe

That the extent and effectiveness of
the Portola festival publicity abroad
is not appreciated in this city is the
statement of John HI. Kubies. renre-
sentative Of the American nostai - ,5 r
company, who arrived in San Francisco
from an extensive tour of Europe
yesterday.
'.All over Europe 1 heard of the
Portola festival and of rebuilt San
Francisco said Kubies Yesterday.
Every time foreign warship was
assigned to the festival the news
papers took up the story and published
pictures of the vessel and of San Fran
cisco. Pictures of the new buildings
and of the streets as they now exist
are continually being printed in the
newspapers abroad.
Tn Berlin Charles C. Moore the
Portola commissioner, was entertained
and feted like a sovereign prince. and
the newspapers printed columns of
matter regarding the festival program,
and also regarding the growth Of tbe
city in the last three years. All the
leading newspapers had been sunnIied
by Moore with photos before and after
the fire, and they all printed articles
and editorials in which amazement wa .
expressed at the titantic task which
has been accomplished. Financial
papers commented on the wonder. from
their polnt OF view, ana commercial
journals printed statistics of the
trading in the past two years. Tn
short, the whole country simply stood
up in amazement, and admiration was
expressed everywhere. There will he
thousands of visitors here from Berlin
alone.
I'm other European capitals and
large cities 1t was the same. To be
from America. to the people over
there. was to be source of informa~
tion regarding San Francisco and the
Porto1a festival. In fact, to mention
America is to bring a hornets nest
about ones ears. Moore has done
splendid work over there. and the
eastern cities have to be effectively
covered by the publicity work of the
Portola committee There appears 10
