TALK TO A DAUGHTER.
SelfrSacrificing Mothers Will Be Apprer
ciated When Too Late.

/ A father talking to his careless
daughter, said: Il want to speak
to you of your mother; it may be
that you have noticed that care
worn look on her face lately. OF
course it has not been brought
there by any action of yours,
still if is your duty to chase it
away. | want you to get up to-
morrow morning and get break
Hast, and when your mother
comes and expresses her sur
prise, go and kiss her. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her
face. Besides you owe her a
kiss or two. Away back yonder
when you were a little girl, she
kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your fever tainted
breath and swollen face. You
were not SO attractive then as
you are now. And through all
those years Of childish sunshine
and shadow she was always
ready to cure, by the magic of a
mothers kiss, the little dirty,
chubby hands whenever they
were injured in those first skir-
mishes with the rough world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad
dreams as she leaned over your
restless pillow, has been on in
terest these long, long years,
Of course she is not as pretty
and as kssable as you are, but
il you had done your share of
work the last ten years, the con-
trast would not have been so
marked. Her face has more
wrinkles than yours, far more,
and yet if you were sick that face
would appear far more beautiful
as an angels, as it hovered over
you, watching every opportunity
to minister to your comfort, and
every one Of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets
Of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear face.
"She will leave you one of
these days. These burdens, il
not lifted from her shoulders,
will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands that have
done so many necessary things
for you will be crossed upon her
lifeless breast.
"Those neglected lips that
gave you your first baby kiss
will be forever closed, and those
snd, tired eyes will open in eter-
nifty, and then you will appre-
ciate your mother; but it will be
too late. '--Eychange,

AS the BEACON goes to press, Rev,
Father Stanton, Pastor OF Our Lady s
Chapel, Medley's Neck. takes the
opportunity TO thank all those who
helped make the annusl dinner of
the parish an unqualified success.
Good will and good manners and
mutual courtesies are worth more
than money, but when to the afore-
said virtues dinner crowd adds
liberality in spending, we have all
the elements Of q first class festival
arranged for social and revenue pur-
p"ses. A rough estimate shows the
returns from the day foot up some
thin, over $500 Deducting expeu-
ses, the Church expects TO reaii ze
over 1926 from the happy gathering
OF August 10, 1909. and TO add this

SECOND CONGRESS WILL
CONSIDER FOOD FRAUDS
Special Attention Promised to
Production of Pure Wine

Consul William Bardel writes from
Rheims that under the guidance of the
White Cross society of Geneva a second
congress for the repression of fraud in
the production and manufacture of food
products will be held at Paris next
October. The consul reviews the move
ment as follows:
1t is said that while the first con-
gress which assembled for that pur-
pose at Geneva last year brought about
a definition of what constitutes pure
food products this year the theoretical
definition is to be followed by prac-
tical commentaries. In other words.
it is to be determined what treatment
food products can undergo without
ceasing still to be pure.
In this spirit information will be
collected on the production of wine.
cider. grease, chocolate. sugar, ,sausages.
butter, oil. bread, vinegar. conserves.
etc. Concerning the question of how to
make pure wine, this district being
the most important of all districts in
France so far s the production of wine
is concerned. will be called upon to
furnish expert information.
This question is to be duly settled at
Paris next year. Another congress- to
be held al Brussels next year, is to de-
liberate on the methods of ana1yzation
for discovering fraud in the manufac-
ture of food products.

PHILADELPHIA MAKES
NEW MARK FOR SPEED
Only Three Years Required to
Fail to Deliver Letter

Refutation. quick and sharp, has
come of the comic paper joke that
Philadelphia plods.
At least, as far as the postmen are
concerned, there is nothing in the way
of speed TO be desired.
Now you would be- surprised to know
how quick they were about finding Mr.
George Oberteuffer, to whom the So
ciety of American Artists of New York
city sent a letter asking him to come
to their exhibition. The original ad-
dress was the Princeton club, No. 1907
Walnut street Philadelphia.
1t happened that Mr.. Oberteuffer was
not at the club. so the letter was sent
over all the routes by relays and the
swiftest carriers in the city We're hired.
so that no time should be lost for
Philadelphia dotes on art and would
see that its painters get their mail more
promptly than do ordinary citizens.
The invitation was sent at ten
o'lock. January 9. 1905. and Yesterday.
April 2, at exatly ten o'clock in the
morning. it was returned to No. 215
West Fifty seventh street New York
where the society which sent once held
sway.
Thus in little mare than three
years the celebrity of the PhiladeIphia
post office availed I'm finding aut that
Mr. Oberteuffer could not be located.
While the letter was pursuing him on
moved away and went to Paris to live.
Also the Society of American Artists
ceased to be- for shortly after the In
yitation started the society was ab-
sorbed by the National Academy of De-
sign.-New York Herald.

PASSING OF MEMBER
Philip Bolger Dies in Home OF
Physician After Illness Last
ing Three Weeks

Philip Bolger. one of the most promi-
cles of San Francisco, died yesterday
afternoon in the home of Dr. A. p.
oBrien, 2O66 Pine street, at the age
of Sc
Bolger came to California from his
birthplace in County Wicklow, Ireland
when IS. He grew with the state and
at the time of his death was the senior
member of the firm of Philip Bolger
& Co. Pacific coast representatives of
the London guarantee and accident in
surance company.
In addition to the host of friends
who mourn his death there are many
poor families and children who had
learned to lean on Philip Bolger when
their needs surpassed their means. At
Christmas he was the only Santa Claus
that scores of little children knew.
Bolger was one of the best known
and most highly respected members of
the Press club. the Elks. the Olympic
club, the Young Mems Catholic union.
the Family club, the knights of the
Red Branch and the Young Mems In
stitute.
On coming to California Bolger went
to live with an uncle who owned a
large cattle ranch in Humboldt county.
Later he came to San Francisco and
for several years was connected with
the old Kearny Street railway COM
pany.
When he left the car company Bolger
associated himself in the accident in
surance business with Edward Bosqui.
For 15 or 16 years he had represented
the London guarantee and accident in
surance company, with Edward c. Lam
dis as his partner.
Bolger had been i'll for three weeks.
Before going to DIR. O'Brien's home
Bolger lived at the Press club.
