CHAPTER XIV.
A Confession.


OF late Berny had not been sleeping
well and the fear that this would react
upon her looks had spurred her to the
unwonted exertion OF walking. The
route she had chosen was one OF those
thoroughfares which radiate from Mar
ket Street, and though not yet slums
are far removed from the calm. wide
gent!llty Of the city's more digr!fled
highways. With all her cleverness
she had never shaken of the tastes
and instincts OF the class she had
come from.
Walking loiteringly forward, she
crossed Powell Street. and approached
the entrance OF that home OF vaude
vile. the Granada Theater. There
had beer recent change Of bill. and
as she drew near she looked over the
posters standing by the entrance on
which the program for the coming
week was printed in large letters. Mid
way down one Of these, her eye was
caught by name and she paused and
stood reading the words:
JAMES DELAY BUFORD

Monologist

Entitled
KLONDIKE MEMORIES.
She remembered at once that this
was the actor Dominick had spoken OF
as having been showed In with them
at Antelope. Domlnlck had evidently
not expected he would come TO San
Francisco. He had said the man had
been going TO act In Sacramento.
AS she walked down the street she
cav that she was approaching the car
line which passed close TO her old
home. A clock In a window showed

COLD STORAGE AND PRICES.

There is good reason for very tnorous. -..vesuga-
ton before legislation shall be passed regulating
cold storage. 1t is true, beyond caviI that cold stor
age ought to be used to average the benefits of large
producing eras those of smaller production, so
that the lean periods may be helped by the fatness
of the fat 1t is also true that in too many in
stances the very reverse of this rule is in fact ap
piled: Cold storage is employed, not to bring
age prices down toward those of the plenteous sea-
sons, but to jack them up toward those of the lean
seasons.
To the extent that greed has in fact employed
this magnfcently serviceable device to the disad-
vantage of the public which it should have served,
there is heavy burden of responsibility somewhere.
1t must be located, and punishment must be meted
to the offenders.
But in Furnishing offenders it is senseless to break
down the efficiency of cold storage 1t would be
about wise to abolish railroads because people
get hurt at grade crossings.
There is pending measure to prohibit holding
food products in cold storage three months.
Applied to the present situation to eggs, that
measure would actually seriously impair the efec-
tiveness of storage as means enforcing moderate
prices The season of heaviest egg production IS
spring and early summer. Following that comes a
season of more moderate production, commonly am
ple however, to meet current needs. The late au-
tumn and early winter find the pendulum at the
bottom of the This is the time when the cold
storage eggs put up the preceding spring. are need
ed But more than three months have passed since
most of those eggs went into storage Storage would
be of little benefit in the of eggs, if the stored
product could be held no longer than three months.
That is true of various other food products it is
liable, at any time, to be true of any product that
goes into storage at all.
Limitation of the period in storage should be con-
ditioned only consideration The stored article
must come out in perfectly safe condition for On
that point there must be uncertainty But three
months in storage would have helped Joseph mighty
little in spreading the fatness of the fat
over the leanness of the seven lean years.
The thing needed in this cold storage business is
to know good deal more about il than anybody out
side of il seem 10 know at present.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY.

Right now is the time to begin injecting the
practical Christmas spirit into daily conduct. 10

and comfort for the shopper. will serve the shop
vo kers yet better. Hundreds. thousands of tired
mel and women bows and girls, find in the period OF
Christmas preparation their Severest trial of the
whole wear. To them the approach OF the holiday
season is only to be dreaded for the sorures of
work and excessive hours that it imposes. At this
tine especially, the heavy burden of service must
paw for the happiness of those who privileged
to experience only the sweeter experiences of the
season.
The last days before Christmas br;tis the climax
of this period of for the shop people If the
public would be considerate, would get its shopping

would relieve US from the suspicious of Latin Amer
ica, while it would make it easier for Huerta to
yield to a show of such overwhelming superiority.
But do all thos. who disagree with the Presi
dert's course approve of this plan of action? Not
bit Some assert emphatically that joint action by
the United States and South America would be
punging from the fryng-pan into the fire; that dis
sension would be apt to lead to war with all South
America.
One thing clear in the Mexican business is that
it is very ugly business For the moment many
see no escape from it but ultimate intervention.
great many more are merely hoping. If the Admin
stration had to steer according the various charts
devised by those who differ with it, it would have
hard time determining who is the real Moses.

ToDAY's WHITE HOUSE CEREMONY.

Very recently the world has been deeply inter
esed in the details of royal weddings Splendid
fetes in Berlin marked in May last, the marriage OF
the Kaisers daughter to Prince Ernst August Of
Cumberland. few weeks later princess OF Hohen-
Sigmarngen became the bride of the deposed
and widely despsed King Manuel of Portugal.
Today daughter of the President of the United
States weds, in the manner of any other American
young woman of good family and station, a young
American man of her own walk of life The fact that
she is the daughter of one of the most powerful
rulers in the world, while he is merely modest young
extraordinary circumstance Our American democracy
is, after all, pretty deeply rooted.
The ceremony has been planned after the fashion
of the usual American home wedding, with such
variations as are enforced by recognition of the
national and international significance of such a
function But who, of all the millions whose eyes
are today turned with afeconate interest toward the
White House, is concerned about these aspects of
subdued pageantry which represent concession to
old-world form and diplomatic Formally? Everybody
is thinking of the happy couple and sending forth
good wishes for their happiness and prosperity What
woman looking out this morning on the beauties of
the new day, forgot to murmur, with fervor Of
genuine sentiment in her tones Happy is the bride
that the sun shines on!' Her thoughts were all of
the White House and the sacrament that means pre-
ciseIy the same there as in any other American home
To tine bride and groom of today the nation
sends its united testimonial of love and regard, Of
kindly sentiments for the day and best wishes for all
the future May their years be long together, and as
happy as the beginning of their welded life is aus
picious!

OVERCROWDED CARS AND HEALTH.

Senator Norris proposal that the strap-hanper
shall pay only half-fare is not only in the interest
of square financial deal but what is even more i'm
portant, in behalf of public health The street car
companies would not long accept half-fares, when
by providing seats they could get full fares Their
selfinterest would be enlisted in getting seats for
their patrons.
The seat hog-not merely the end seat hog but
all the rest of the street hogs-would have the
company proddlng them to make room. Half the
time il isn't the car companys fault that people are
standing. ANY day affords opportunity to observe
how twelve people spread themselves out and oc-
cupy the engthwise seat of car while that seat is
oomy enough for nineteen without crowding 1t
isn't the conductors business to compel the sitters
to crowd up please but it decidedly is his busi-
to require that the strap-hangers push forward
and make more room. 1t ought to be part of his
dirty TO stop the hoggng of seat space.
They have this problem of overcrowded street
cars in about all American cities and in almost no
European cities. The latter refuse to brook it. AS
matter OF convenience, comfort, and health, they
forbid overcrowding.
Louisville is giving attention especially to the
sanitary aspects, and bulletin of the civ S
health department states the case thus:

seats occupied the aiseS jammed with people clinepg

There is just one way to enlist the best energies
and the full enthusiasm of the street car manage
ments in bringing these reforms. The dividends are
in the straps Take the dividends out of the straps
and insist that they shall be earned by the seats.
Then there will be prompt provision of seats. The
Norris bill will do the business.

THE COST OF CAMPAIGNS.

The campaign to elect the New York Fusion
mayoralty ticket cost Sl29,5l9, sum considerably
less than Tammany spent in its frantic effort to
cape defeat.
Banners, posters, and signs and the printing of
& weekly campaign paper cost ,4e3, which night
as we'll have been saved. Banners and campaign
steets do not win municipal campaigns. They are
almost the same class with torchght professions,
fact which Mr.. Mitchels mana seems appreci-
sted for he neglected the archaic devices of cam
aigning.
The thing that won the last election for the
Fusion ticket was the front pages of the daily news
papers-whch cost a political party nothing at all.
There was great story to tell about Tammany and
the newspapers told it, and in most cases left the
voter alone with his thoughts.
Campaigns will always cost money, but of itself
money has little power to sway votes Mitchell could
have been elected with $4,000 just as easily as he
was with $4,000, and Tammany if it had spent a
million more would have been beaten Just the same.
Even if every newspaper in New York had edi-
torially favored Mr.. Mccall the news matter on the
front pages would have beaten him. =-..--
