Talk of City.

There was woe today on board the
Finland the living quarters of the
American athletes over the absence Of
clean linen. The laundry woman who
had contracted to wash the clothing
Of the Americans, showed UP with the
garments Of only a few men and those
were not athletic togs.
The talk of the city today was the
remarkable feat of Ted Meredith yes
terday. who won the thrilling 500 meter
race and smashed the standing Olympic
record. Meredith is hailed as one of
the greatest runners that ever COM
peted in an Olympiad. The young
Pennsylvania school boy carries his
honors modestly and shows a desire to
avoid the fame which his performance
suddenly precipitated upon him He is
only nineteen years of age United
states Commissioner J. e. Sullivan and
olher Olympic officials, who accompa-
Hied the American teams, are highly
elated at the showing of tie Yankee
athletes They predict that America
VIII prove ar easy winner on points.

Dear NJ. BIS:

Dear N. BIS:
Now, have II not kept still quite a spell?
Have had q fine winter, done lots of work,
made two large rugs, had lots OF business ami
some company. Have not hired q washing
done since the first of December. Now, don't
you all think me smart, for 1t has been
habit with me for years to hire my Washing
done, but that hot water all ready to start
with has been the one great thing. Have not
had to say to some one: please get me some
water
Well, March is here and soon we shall be
watching the doings of that extra session of
the Maine legislature that is to go down in
history for its doings. Let it be as it will; we
women must begin to look into things, as the
men seem more inclined TO let us share the
public burdens. Are they getting tired of the
heavy load and want us to lay the blame
upon when things don't go rights Never
mind what it is; the day is near at hand when
the women of Maine will be styled as citizens
was glad to learn that our town took an
informal vote in favor Of subject which has
been my hobby foF years; that is, to have the
State take charge Of our unfortunates that
are styled paupers. What a saving of law
suits between towns to see which shall care
for pauperl Who OF us but had rather 20 to
a good country home than to have two towns
at law about us9 Then the burden for caring
for the poor will be more equally divided
scattered all over the State. Besides that we
all know of cases where people will look out
better for old age than some do now. / ex-
pect to see the matter come up in next win
ter's legislature.
Susan and Aunt Sue have so ably filled the
column through the winter that we have had
a rest from recipes, ETC., not but what they
are all good Hope the sick sisters will all
get out with the warm days of spring. 1

dish to the call of the hungry chickens, as my

Have had some delightful letters from
members of the clan during the winter. For
all such am thankful. Had a beautiful W
@. T. U. Willard card from the second Mrs
Day from Calais last week. Wish she would
write us about the good work there.

rest we found ourselves ready for the day,

ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Why don't you try this reliable remedy?

Just as our train was being transferred 10 the
train-ferry at Valleys, to take us across the
northern arm of San Francisco bay. here
called San Pablo bay.
Outside. the air was fresh and balmy and
we greatly enjoyed watching the sea gulls
and the craft in the bay. Across to our left
were the Mare island navy yards. at which
place, you remember, the battleship Oregon
was built, which made the famous voyage
around Cape Horn, arriving In time to play
an important part in the victory over the
Spanish feet at Santiago.
From the ferry terminus a short ride brings
us to the city of Oakland, styled "the bed
room of San Francisco. To our surprise we
found it not only city of handsome homes,
but also of many substantial business blocks
and well-appointed stores. The number Of
its banks would also indicate that IL is some
thing of q financial as well as a commercial
centre.
Here in Oakland we get our FIRST sight since
leaving Minnesota Of flowers in abundance.
Hedges Of Gala lilies, trees instead of hello
trope plants lat least the heliotropes in some
gardens.l looked in at the second story win
dow, roses and carnations, ionqnils and vio-
lets, with smilax and ivy vines climbing over
walls and fences. We began to feel that we
had indeed reached "the land OF sunshine
and flowers"
pleasant trolly ride brings us to the beau
tiful city Of Berkeley, delightfully."- situated
on several hills topped by substantial resi-
denees. From many of these homes mag
nifcent view of the surrounding country Is
obtained, and on clear days San Francisco
bay, even to Golden Gate, is distinctly seen,
and residents of some of these homes, on the
mountains of dreams come true", as one
friend calls it, claim no more gorgeous sun
sets can be found in all the world.
Berkeley's chief attraction is the Univer-
sity of California, which has a fine campus
and most substantial buildings.
Returni from Berkeley, we take the ferry
to San Francisco. One of the pleasantest
ferry rides we have ever taken, especially in
the early mo ming, is that across the bay from
Oakland san Francisco. These boats are
immense in size; the larger of them, if loaded
to her capacity, carries enough people to
make moderate-siEed city.
San Francisco has always owed its CONNER
cial supremacy to its splendid harbor, stu
ated as it is on the bay which has length of
fifty miles and an area of over 45O square
miles with its deep-water entrance the
famous Golden Gate. 1t is pleasing TO note
that notwithstanding the rivalry of Seattle
and Portland, and the fact that only few
years ago it suffered the greatest calamity
that has ever befallen modern city, II still
maintains its supremacy. not only as the
metropolis Of the Pacific coast, but also the
most important city west Of the Missouri
river.

The fellowship of the primitive
church was one Of it's most helpful fea-
lures. Its absence from our present
day church life is one of our greatest
weaknesses.

What field the Sunday school and
society of Christian Endeavor offer!
How the prayer meeting cries out

posiotice and courthouse which withstood
the FIRE, but has since undergone repairs. The
architecture is Italian renaissance. and con-
tains most exquisite specimens Of Italian,

There are several magnificent hotels-the
Palace, st. Francis and the Fairmont. The
parks of the city are extensive-Golden Gate

sutro Heights, the private grounds of noted
pioneer, Adolph sutro and the satro Baths.

open TO the public. While watching the
baihers and enjoying the wealth of flowers, IL
is hard to realize 1t is winter weather back In
Minneapolis and Maine.
Nor did we forget that oIdI landmark of San
Ftancisco's early history, the old Franciscan
mission, popularity known as Mission Dolores,
nearly in the centre of the city and easily
reached. Aud here we learn much about the
coming exposition of.lsi5-that great Panama
exposition to commemorate the completion O,
the most stnpendous work ever performed BY
man.
No better illustration of the faith of a peo-
pie in their city is needed than this, that the
citizens OF San Franciso have pledged $4,000
600 for this great enterprise.

sionaries 1000 miles from home in one
of our island possessions. Scarce a
handful of people speak their native
tongue. The work they do must show
slow returns They have few to coun-
sci with and fewer to speak an en-
