ClTY'S REBIRTH
IS KEPT SIMPLY
Third Anniversary of Big Fire
Marked by Mute Tokens
of Reconstruction
and Pluck

IT He third anniversary of San Fran
cisco's big fire passed yesterday
without prearranged observance.
The occasion, needless to say, had not
been forgotten, but strong sentiment
prevailed that the mute testimony of a
reconstructed city required no empha-
sis to carry it's message. At the
churches there were appropriate allu-
slons to the day. The achievements of
the past 36 months were regarded as
inspirations for the future The Press
club had chosen April IS for its benefit
performance. The Mission grammar
school was dedicated with due cere-
mony. The life of the city went for
ward as of old.
The day was devoted. above all else.
to picnic excursions. The railroads re-
ported the heaviest traffic of the year.
The ferries carried the greatest crowds
or the season All of the amusement
resorts. both on this side and across the
bay, were well patronized. Golden Gate
park was the objective of an unusually
large concourse of people. The weather
conditions were all that could be de-
sired for outing parties.
That is the simple story of .aTbree
Years After" San Francisco has long
since resumed its normal course, and
the flow of its life is serene and certain.
Its period of recuperation has been at
tended by complexities. in themselves
problems that have required the full
strength of an ordinary city to solve
1t is not in a spirit of boastfulness
that the people discussed yesterday
the accomplishments of the last three
years. but rather with a feeling that
the time for mutual fluctuations had
come.
Some pointed to the rebuilding rec
ord, showing that some $4,000, 900
had been expended In new structures.
The index furnished by the financial
statistics carried its full measure of
satisfaction.
Among many OF the leading bankers
the statement was made that the most
insignificant feature of the year bear
ing upon the material progress of the
city was the sale to ]. P. Morgan & Co.
of the s16.5oo.Oo0 of Pacific telephone
and telegraph company bonds. In the
opinion of local inanciers this is taken
to mean that the most influential force
In the banking world had declared his
preference for San Francisco securi-
ties. 1t was stated that no such fiota-
tion had been previously made at any
period of the city's history.
They all follow Morgan" said one
banker yesterday. and his decision to
handle this bond issue is a guarantee
that all the money needed for local
enterprises will be obtainable"
In many quarters the belief was
voiced that by the fall of this year the
surplus capital in the San Francisco
banks will have accumulated to such
an extent that 1t will eagerly seek an
outlet in development work throughout
the state.

In Memory of St. AnseIm

The s0oth anniversary of the death
of st. Anselm falls on the 21st of this
month and the event will be celebrated
practically throughout the world. The
chief celebration will, according to a
Paris contemporary. take place at the
Benedictine college in Rome. which is
dedicated to the saint. Many cardinals
and bishops will take part and the
most famous orator of the order will
deliver the panegyric. Saint Anselm
is the father of that scholastic theoI-
ogy which harmonizes it with philos
ophy and reconciles revealed truths
with human reason. hence his indis-
putable right to be termed doctor of
the church. St Anselm died at Canter-
bury and was the primate of all Eng

thing most always succeed, as the
following instance will show. An
Indian seeing for the FIRST time a
hearse was so pleased with it that
nothing would do but he must
have it. So collecting all his
earthly possessions he gave them
in exchange for the hearse. Al
terward, hltching two scraggy lit
tie Indian ponies to it he placed
his wife with her papooses in
side, then paTaded up and down
the reservation the envy of all who
saw him. Again, we will go to
the Sisseton reservation, which is
close to our own homes. Here we
find the Indians on farms, from
which they raise as fine crop OF
grain as their white brothers and
which enables them to procure all
the necessities of life. Give the
Indians justice, treat them square,
and there is no doubt but what
they will make success of the
little we have left them. There is
enough bad in all Of us without
looking for it in our neighbor.
And even the red man should have
his chance. [ believe most all of
you will agree with me in saying
that if the Indians weregiven their
rights they would not be COM
PEELED to live the life they are now
subjected to.

How Lands Built a Fire"

Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, the
man who imposed the twenty nine
million dollar fine against the
Standard Oil company, recently
gave an accused mau the mini
mum sentence of sixty days in the
house of correction. That, how
ever, is not the interesting part OF
the story which is involved in SUBJ
sequent proceedings. From the
Chicago Record Herald report the
following is taken:
The prisoner turned away from
the bench to the deputy marshal
waiting to take him to Jail. He
turned his coat collar up around
his throat.
"Aronson,' exclaimed the court
sharply, where's your overcoat?'
"Your honor" said the white
SLAYER" Il amt got none. That
was one of the first things [ soaked
when l come to Chicago
"Bailiff," said the judge, ''get
mine and give it to him. 'Now,
gentlemen" be added, turning to
the lawyers, well proceed with
the next case"
An hour later Judge Landis'
thin figure was breasting the
breeze that tore down Dearborn
street.
Hi, there, judge" shouted
friend, where's your overcoatf'
Il used it to light a fire."
USED it to light fire?''
"Yes,' said Judge lands, Il
used it to light a fire to keep warm
inside of me the spirit of charity
that life in great city like Chi
cago tends to freeze"
i And his friend was still gazing
at him in establishment when he
jumped on his car.
4 Would that in every section OF
our country-and in every corner
Iof the world-there were more
such fires as Judge Lands lighted
when he gave his raiment to the
poor. A simple act, indeed, on
the part of this federal judge, but
t il ia of the kind that makes the
heart beat faster.

was asked one day by one OF the
chiefs to have dinner with him.
Not wishing to offend the chief
consented to go. At the appointed
time I presented myself at the
chiefs wigwam. A bounteous
supply was set before me consist
ing mostly of meat of which l ate
very heartily. On finishing the
repast I asked the chief what kind
of meat it was. 'Ughr he replied,
him dog-no could catchum fat
one.' Thus proving that what we
don't know will seldom hurt u.s."
The Indian is also noted for his
long memory very seldom if ever
forgetting face. They never for
get a kind act OF an unklnd one as
the following story will show: A
party of Indians had been out
hunting one winter and on return
| ing home one Of their party be-
came lost-having strayed away
from the main party. A severe
storm was raging and after strug-
Cling along for some time he t.
nally came to the hut OF q trapper.
The trapper was busy boiling a
pot of bean soup at the time. Not
liking the Indians and desiring to
have no more visit him he decided
to play trick on poor Lo, which
he did in the following manner:
He filled a bowl with the boiling
bean soup, then calmly taking
down his rife, told the Indian ii
he did not eat the soup he would
kill him. The Indian departed in
| the morning with a bitter feeling
, of revenge ranking within him
But not until many, many years
after was a chance given him fol
revenge. He was an old Indian
now. No longer able to follow
the war parties or take place with
them in their hunts, he contenteo
, himself with making maple syruE
and sugar. The trapper, after
many years, finds himself AGAR
> near his old trapping grounds ane
