the ground, set in a rich framework OF
verdue, there appeared niche, spa
cious enough to admit a human figure,
with freedom for such gestures as
spontaneously accompany earnest
thought and genuine emotion. Into
this natural pulpit Ernest ascended,
and threw a look of familiar kindness
around upon his audience. They stood.
or sat, or reclined upon the grass, as
seemed good to each, with the depart
ing sunshine falling obliquely over
them, and mingling it's subdued cheer
| funess with the solemnity of grove
of ancient trees, beneath and amid the
boughs of which the golden rays were
constrained to pass. In another direc-
| ton was seen the Great Stone Face,
| with the same cheer, combined with
the same solemnity, in its benignment
aspect.
Ernest began to speak, giving to the
people of what was i'm his heart and
mind. His words had power, because
| they accorded with his thoughts; and
, his thoughts had reality and depth, be-
cause they harmoniZed with the life
which he had always lived. 1t was not
mere breath that this preacher uttered;
| they were the words of life, because
life of good deeds and holy love was
melted into them. Pearls, pure and
rich, had been dissolved into this pre-
cous draught. The poet, as he listen
| ed, felt that the being and character of
| Ernest were a nObler strain of poetry
| than he had ever written. His eyes
glistening with tears, he gazed rever-
entialy at the venerable man, and said
within himself that never was there
an aspect so worthy of prophet and
sage as that mild, sweet, thoughtful
countcnance, with the glory of white
| hair diffused about it. At distance.
| but distinctly to be seen, high up In
| the golden light of the setting sun,
appeared the Great Stone Face. with
huary mists around it. like the white
hairs around the brow of Ernest. Its
look of grand beneficence seemed to
embrace the world.
At that moment. in sympathy with a
thought which he was about to utter,
the face of Ernest assumed a grandeur
of expression. So imbued with benev-
ocncc, that the poet, by an Irresistible
| impulse, threw his arms aloft, and
shoutcd,-
BEHOLD. Behold! Ernest is himself
| the likeness of the Great Stone Face"
Then all the people looked, and saw
that what the deep sighted poet said
was true. The prophecy was fulfilled.
But Ernest, having finished what he
had to say. took the poets arm. and
walked slowly homeward. still hoping
that some wiser and better man than
himself would by and by appear. bear
| ing a resemblance To the Great stone
| Face.

More years sped swiftly and tran

In this day Of world movements,
the one that is deeper than any other
is that of Christian missions. No ma
ton can safely make a striking ma
terial change and hope to maintain it
without harm to themselves, without
making corresponding moral trans
formation. They cannot keep the
fruits of Christian civilization I'M
less they are given the soul for it.
To-day there are twenty thousand
men and women devoting their lives
to the cause of Christian missions in
foreign lands. The testimony of men
like Bryan and Roosevelt is that it is
the most impressive undertaking of
our century. Every student should
know something about it."

WheeIer's Store Formally Opened.

Wheeler's jewelry store had its for
NAL opening at its new location on
Broadway yesterday. All day persons
were in and out inspecting the store.
On the upper floor, one of the en-
ployees was giving demonstrations of
soldering and metal cleaning, and
showing visitors the new equipment
of the store. If anyone had a piece
of jewelry that needed cleaning, he
could have special demonstration
made on it. Souviners in the form Of
small bells were given to the visitors.

Why He Picked the Other.

An old gentleman some time ago had
occasion to engage a gardener. One
morning he had two applicants for the
position-one was very decent look
ing man, while the other was mucn
less prepossessing in his appearance
and manner.
After a moments hesitation the old
gentleman chose the latter applicant.
A friend who was present evinced
a good deal of surprise at the selec-
ton and asked, Has that man ever
worked for you?"
No." replied the old gentleman; "as
a matter of fact, never saw either of
them before until today"
Then why did you choose the
shorter man? The other had a much
better face
Face! > exclaimed the old man in
disgust; 'let me tell you something

him by his breeches. If they are

BATTERY CORNER
FOR EASTMANS
Big Kodak Concern Buys Fine
Site and Will Build Head
quarters Here

Thomas Ma gee & Sons announce the
the Eastman kodak company OF
Rochester. n. Y, of the lot at the
southwest corner. of Battery and Sacra-
-mento streets. The property has a
frontage of 124 feet along Battery
street, with a depth of 90 feet on
Sacramento and Halleck streets. This
holding was purchased last May by
Mary f. Callahan from Rosa Campbell
for 5000 cash and has now been re-
sold at an advance over this figure.
The price paid by the purchasers is
withheld by them but it is understood
that the property has been offered for
saIe recently at $4,000.
AS soon as deed is secured the East
man kodak company will instruct It's
architects to prepare plans for two or
three story reinforced concrete build
ing It will be used by them as the
Pacific coast headquarters for their
business.
An interesting feature in connection
with this investment is the confidence
shown for the future of San Francisco
by so large and influential an eastern
company in its decision to buy per-
manent site here.
1t is reported that A. B. Spreckels
has bought a lot with 92 feet frontage
in Front street, 25 feet north Of Mar
ket. extending back to a warehouse
on Battery street. Alexander Body

HALF Million DEAL
IN CONTRA COSTA
r. N. Burgess Buys Foskett &
Elworthy Property Com
prising 3,700 Acres

MARTINEZ, Oct. Much interest
was expressed here today upon the fl
ing of deed by Foskett & Elworthy
to r. n. Burgess for 3,700 acres of land
The property conveyed consists of the
heart of central Contra Costa county
anj is considered the most fertile tract
Of land in this section of the county.
1t is understood that Burgess has
associates who are enterprising men
and who will infuse new blood into
Contra Costa county. The residents
around Concord are very enthusiastic
over this transfer. as they expect the
cutting UP and subdividing of this
property will greatly improve their val
ley and bring new business to their
town.
The summing up of the transfers of
property made to r. n. Burgess in this
district in the last year shows that
he and his associates hold over 10000
acres of the best land in this district
and that the transfers represent some
where in the neighborhood of s1,50O,0oO.
There is considerable speculation as
to whether this new transaction has
any significance in connection with the
completion of the new electric rail-
road. 1t seems hardly reasonable that
Burgess and his associates would un-
dertake this deal unless they had ad-
Vanced knowledge as to the complete
financing OF the railroad project It
has been stated from reliable sources
that recent large sale of the bonds of
this road has put its prompt compile
ton beyond a doubt
