W. A. PARSELLS HAS A CLOSE CALL W. A. Parsells went up an electric light pole near the Methodist church, Friday night, to start an electric light. In some way he got hold of a live wire and was unable to let go. He shouted Justify for help, and they went at once and telephoned to the electric light station to shut of the current. He was slightly burned about the hands. Mg Parsells is the popular CT sameryman and is being congratulated on his narrow escape. It was about the time of evening service at the Methodist church and there were a number of people to res pond to his cry. Just how many volts were going through him he could not tell, but it was an experi- ence he does not care to repeat.

AGENCIES FOR DETECTING CRIME
AND COLLECTING OLD ACCOUNTS
Varied Metropolitan Needs Served By Capable

and tenacity of purpose added. The
history OF the Pacific coast is illumi-
mated creditably, by the records of the
exploits of the detective agencies,
some of which are worthy to be in
corporated in ms.ster works Of fiction
for the intrinsic interest that they
have possessed. Commercial houses
and many other enterprises and many
prominent individuals have found and
always find profit in the judicious use
of the detective sggencies of San Fran
cisco.
Serving midway between the private
solicitation of ere ditors for their just
dues and the more severe action of
the courts, the collection agencies of
San Francisco well perform their work.
Their task is not always pleasant;
neither is il always unpleasant. -
They serve az a useful intermediary
and oftsen succeed in making settle
ments that have been obsh-lcted by
Misunderstanding and, at a minimum
cost and expense to the parties con-
cerned, either as debtor or creditop
Their business is to deal with a sub

The customary policy of the san

ience to the debtor, TO minimize un-
plea santness and 10 reduce the ex-
pense as much as possible. The names
OF prominent collection agencies are
well known. The agencies are ap-
pealed to not only by local creditors,
but also by creditors at a distance. in
cases in which their services are in

The collection agencies are always
in close connection with the current
business OF San Francisco. At the

Chocolates and Candies

THIS city is the supply point for
the coast for chocolates and can
dies, which are manufactured here
in very large quantities. The ma
terials for the chocolates are easily OBJ
tanned at first hand. The same is true
concerning some of the materials that
enter into the composition of candy.
Scores of travelling statesmen are con
stantly on the road attending to the
trade interests Of San Francisco whole
sale chocolate and candy houses,
which are of much Importance.
The abundance of fruit that is
grown in this state enters largely into
confections of certain sort that are
much relished and that bring high
market prices. Tons of sweets are sold
daily over the counters to the candy
loving people of this city. Shipments
of candy to adjacent countries to the
Islands of the Pacific. to American pos
sessions in the Philippines and to
oriental countries proceed without in
terruption for the skill of the candy
makers and the deliciousness of their
wares create a demand wherever they
are known that never abates or is
lessened.
Steam candy factories serve the re-
tail trade satisfactorily Much of their
products is shipped as far north as
Alaska ana Is IN demand IN w aSllnR-
ton and Oregon. The retail dealers
and confectioners manufacture fine
grades of candies on their own account
to large extent. while their trade
with the wholesalers attests to the ex-
cellence of the goods made in the large
factories. San Francisco confection-
ers have been able to hold their own
market as against the competition of
outside points simply because no one
has been able TO surpass their output
in quality. Skilled confectioners are
numerous In this city.

The most skiilfui readers Of human
nature are detectives. This fact has
been recognized and illustrated by the
greatest of novelists and by the most
subtle and analytical writer's OF fiction
To be a good detective implies indus
try. observation, native acuteness. a
wide acquaintance with current his
troy and happenings and encylocopedic
knowledge OF men and their do
ings; a memory which retains faces
and is a ready reference library for its
possessor concerning matters OF which
he or she has known; and an ability
10 follow slight clews and from frag-
mentsry evidence TO reason correctly
10 Just and proper conclusions
The scope of the detective require
ments is therefore, very wide and
the exsctions which detective occupa-
tion compels are severe. Very few
persons are natural detectives. Sue
cessful heads Of detective departments
are even rarer than detectives who
have made individual successes A de-
tective chief must not only possess all
the faculties that belong TO his subor-
oinate. but must also have executive
abilities. insight and reasoning powers
OF a high order. Modern life demands
the frequent use OF detectives who are
not connected with the police depart
ment or other branches OF the public
service
SPLENDID SERVICE
From this has grown up an admi-
rable private detective system in San
Francisco, the motto OF which is fidel-
ity and secrecy. In many ways the
private detective agency has proved
