each one of us, at some time or otheri has had glimpses of her in the distance, But, at any rate she is more secretive than the wliest serpent, swifter than the deer more cunning at escape than the fox, and, indeed If we pursue her to the end, she will never be caught alive; when we hold her, at last, it is but to find her dead. But occasi onally, of her own free will, she drops down upon us by chance in her light-hearted, casual way. and we have taste of what her companionship might mean It is the patient and the hopeless and the brave- ly destitute that happiness chiefly affects; as If she knew all too well where she was most needed and most appreciated It Is not the despairing she visits, but those who have learned to renounce with a certain ease of spirit and detachment. After al1,'' she seems to say blithely to these, when she f1utters in upon them, ''you thought never came, but do only not too often For she is goddess, hap piness, one of the old pagan goddesses naughty and capricious and wilful and a rare and exacting visitant.
 The old way of teaching children that happiness is reward to be won finally in heaven. after arduous service to virtue in this life is no longer fashion able, and we see the young people 0x the present day out on perfect rout chasing happiness or, as they familiarly call 1t, "a good time' And they never catch. 1t. Despite of all the noise and the paraphernalia. and the rush and the expense and the moving from mountains to seashore, and motoring over foreign lands and bedecking and bedizening them-
 selves for luncheons and dinners and games and tournaments, happiness, whom they pursue, is just as shy. of them, just as far dista&t, as if no means had been taken to pursue her. She pauses only for her elect, occasionally, and not all thoS who call upon her shall find her.

at last. Business is already feeling the
 pressure. Many of the great stores are scarcely paying expenses. Real estate still commands high price, but great
 quantities of it have been thrown upon | the market. Many persons who at first thought to hold at last realized that | they must sell, and placards are up without number. It was dreamed that in those quarters which the fire did not reach business would find its future abode. Fillmore street, 20 blocks back,
 became lined with shops of every sort.
 The smaller ones are still there and may
 remain. But inviolately, as might have
 been foreseen, the pull is now nightly
 In the other direction, towards the old
 habitations of trade. San Francisco is
 still a magic city, the real and perma-
 nent metropolis of the Pacific coast. Neither Los Angelese. nor Portland, nor Seattle, let any of them grow as they
 will, can ever take away Its primacy.
 The only thing that could give 1t a
 second place would be another such ca- tastrophe as that which visited 1t in 1906, and that is not to be taken Into ac- count as probable occurrence. With
 $50 900 or 100000 inhabitants at the pres
 ent time. a restless, enterprising, self confident mass of human beings; with long established trade and banking re- lations in every part of the world; with the two great valleys of the Sacramento
 and the San Joaquin and all the rich
 back country pouring their treasures into 1t: with all these odds in its favor,
 nothing Is saner, from the standpoint of
 human speculation, that 1t must con-
 tinue to grow and thrive for many com
 ing ages. In 8 wide variety of partic-
 ulars, 1t Is unlike any other city in
 America or in the world, possessing
 spirit and an atmosphere all its own.

 this world, and careless, to an amazing
 degree, of the world to come. No man

 its spell in the days of my youth. and
 the memory of 1t will always haunt me
 like a pleasant dream-albeit l often took fright then, as do now, when l thought of it's complete and feverish ab-
 sorption in the things that address themselves to the senses, and its neglect and rejection of the things of the Spirit. San Francisco has never heard, or at least has never needed the tremendous injunction of the Master: Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteous ness. and all these things"-mere things they are at best-"shall be added unto you"
 But I shall never get to Japan at this rate So I must move on without more ado. The two main lines from this port to the east are the Pacific mail, and the Toyo Kiseu Kaisha, or Oriental Steam
 ship company. The latter is Japanese | corporation. But the two companies, in stead of competing, work in cooper ation. That keeps up the rates and pro- duces dividends. I cannot say, how ever, that the charges are very high from St. Louis to Shanghai about s276,

The most of folks 1t Is true, pre- fer something that Is very. light. But I may claim little uncommon virtue in always taking along some solid and sus- taining volumes. Walking Is also a chief amusement. More or less of it is ne- cessity But it grows a little monotonous after the 18th day. Those who like 1t re- sort to shuffle-board. Some go to cards. On the lower deck there Is regular gam bling establishment, conducted ostensibly by two or three Chinamen. An old gen tleman from the Argentine told me that he won SIP in five minutes, and showed me the handful of money. Another fresh young man from Chicago ran up against the game and dropped s40 in the twinkling of an eye. John Chinaman is not in bus mess for fun, and he does not need a guardian when 1t comes to money mat ters. His smile may be child-like and bland,' but what he does not know about his trade 1t would be very difficult for anybody to teach him. Not having per- sonal information, I simply tell the tale as it was told to me. r&s

keep the other teeth from grind
ing properly or otherwise inter
fere with mastication.
A horse at five years of age
has so-called full mouth. This
means that all his teeth are per-
manent and in full wear.
At one time before the horse wa
servant of man, he was pro
vided with full set of teeth,
that is, there was no space left
between the incisors and the mo-
lars. 1t is not infrequent to see
very small tooth just in front
of the first grinder. This is a
vestige of the old times. and is
commonly termed wolf tooth.
1t does no harm and has no i'll
effect upon the animal S eyes, as
is some times claimed.
The grinding surface of the mo
lars normally wears in an oblique
fashion, so that very sharp point
form on the outside Of the upper
teeth and on the inside of the low
rr. These should be carefully re
moved. 1t is probable, however.
that in most eases too much is
taken away and the grinding sur
face of the tooth is injured. \
horse s mouth should be dressed
once every year. and, as has al
ready been intimated, the young
horse should be watched lest some
ire yularity cause him a great
deal OF suffering and perhaps
Dst his life.

SCHOOL NOTES.

has reached about 100 There
should be more yet and ve' Y prob
ably will.
The small primary room Las en-
rolled nearly forty.
Pa ents should bring themselvc.
to realize that when they are Civ
ing their children an education,
they are giving them an inheri-
tancc that no schemes, no fl
nancial adversity, no fire or storm
can take from them. Everything
else may go, but their education
will remain and may be used at
once as IA means of making them
a livelihood or IA start in the
world again when all else fails.
Give your child an education. 1t
will be much better herita e
than fortune in either money or
property.
Miss Maggie Mcdonald, teaclfc
of the 9TH aud 9th grades at San

think La lara school will stand
pretty close inspection.
How many parents and others
will visit the school Friday after

Entertaining Cnnference.

The Methodist ministers will have
to pay their board and lodging bills,
when the next session Of Conference is
held at Wilmington next March. This
is very right and proper and that the
plan has not been put into effect years
ago is surprising from our point of
view. Minister'S receive better salaries
than school teachers, yet the latter are
not entertained free at the annual in
stitutes they are compelled TO attend
by law. Many a good housewife has
been compelled TO stay at home to
cook and prepare for minister's per-
sonal comfort and miss the pleasure
and benefit OF attendance Of the Con-
ference sessions for this reason-be-
cause Of the custom OF entertaining
ministers free OF charge. Too often the
home of many a good woman is thrown
open to the conference attendants,
simply because she disliked to refuse
the request or pleading of a commit
tee. or being classed as opposed TO the
system. In behalf of justice to the wo-
men and fairness 10 all, the passing Of
free entertainment of ministers and
laymen at the meetings of conferences,
is TO be hailed with approval by all
communities. Here I'm Milford II has
been about over with for years.
