The San Diego Exposition.

San Diego, Calf, Feb. 16. Fifty
former Idahoans, members of the
Idaho State Society of San Diego, met
at minwinter outdoor picnic at Mis-
sion Cliff gardens here a few days ago,
and decided to do everything possible
to make known the vast resources of |
Idaho at the San Diego Exposition in !
1915. Most of those present had blazed |
trails, running the gauntlet of hostile
Indians, mined and started towns and
ranches in Idaho when that state was
essentially frontier country.
E. S. Jewell an Idaho pioneer of '62,
directed the ceremonies as president CT
the state society. Col. w. T. Riley,
who pioneered Idaho with Honest
john Haley in founding stage lines
and mining towns in the great Woo
River country, detailed Idaho's wol
derful resources and possibilities, re-
viewing the things that Idaho would
be able to provide in state exhibit.
f. l.. Bergan presented a graphic
word picture of Idaho's magnificent
scenery and rich resources, prophysy-
ing that some day the water power in
the state would turn more spindles
than exist in New England today, lie
referred to the great opportunity of
state development of wooden manufac-
turing enterprises, with unlimited
water power and the woolly sheep by
+boi,. varxy ,,,.ovi,,,itxr occo,ti,, tbo g.
ity of such establishments in Idaho.
Referring to the exposition, Bergan
predicted that on the Pacific coast
would be three great ports, Seattle,
San Francisco and San Diego. He
foresaw San Diego as the great point
of export to the Orient, and declared
that if Idaho is to reap the possible ben
efits from the Panama Canal and share
in the subsequent stream of immigra-
ton, every effort should be made to i'm
press the people Of that state with the
Importance of providing at San Diego

Idaho has in the way of soil and pro-
ducts and opportunities for the new.
conner.
A. B. Anderson, who mined in Idaho
when he needed rifle to hold at bay
hostile Indians, declared Idaho should
not fail to show exposition visitors thai
she is great fruit, grain, and mining
region, with ample opportunity fol
hundreds of thousands of home makers
and enough water power to run all tn,
street cars in the world.

Gibson, who prospected through Idah

When Vice, unblushing, faced the sun,
And Virtue met courts disdain,
While place and wealth were lost or
won
At frown or smile of Castlemain;
In some New England living room
The matchbox borne at Marston
Moor
Hung, as Ter royal Henry's tomb,
The helmet worn at Agincourt.
The lilacs tapped the lattice pane;
Her daily stint the housewife spun;
Came autumn with its burdener vain;
Came winter twilight cold and dun;
The noon-mark on the sanded floor
Told hours of joy and hours of DOOM
The musket hung the mantel DER
In CLINT of sun, in midnight's gloom.
1t hung in silence 'gainst the wall,
The child to manhood's stature grew;
He saw his grandchiId grow as tall;
His grandchild's son the matchbox
knew.
The kings men marched to Lexington,
The eye that oft in childhood's days
Had rested on silent gun,
Unfaltering met the squadron's blaze.
When foes are strong and friends ale
few,
When righteousness meath hatred's
pail
Is hid, with souls to freedom true,
And vice seems rampant over all,
There live while tyranny dismays,
The memories that, in time to be,
In lands remote, in unknown ways,
Shall nerve the hosts of liberty.

TN rickety, gloomy old tenement
in one of the poorest streets in

doors facing the long corridor opened.

the many stairs. At the bottom he

at door on which was a sign: Frau
Mierke's Laundry"
The splashing sound inside ceased
and a sturdy looking woman put out
her head through a cloud Of white
steam.
'Oh. it is only you, Herr Frohlish."
She had hoped It would be a Gus
toner.
Good morning. Frau Mierke. Ex-
cuse me for disturbing you, but if
anybody should call while am out
or If letter should come-I cannot
stay at home any longer. 1 must try
to find some work.
The woman grunted an impatient
assent
Il know all about it. If anything
comes for you will take it and keep
it. But, of course, nothing will come"
The door closed once more. Frau
Mierke returned to her washtub. The
old man stared at the closed door,
then turned up his coat collar, dug his
hands into his empty pockets.

morning air.
1t was long past noon when he re-
turned. From Frau Mierke's kitchen
came an appetizing odor of fried
bacon and onions.
A LITTLE DAFFY
Nothing has come for YOU" she
cried. His head dropped still lower
and his face took on an expression
of utter hopelessness as he slowly be-
gan to climb the many stairs.

dow and fell out. When the parents
came home their boy was dead.
Then came evil days. The mother
wept and mourned and he spent night
after night In the saloon on the cor
ner to avoid looking at the empty
place at home where the little bed
had stood
Years passed. His wife was taken
i'll, lay in bed, suffered for months,
and then died. His last penny went
to pay for her funeral.
The old man coughed-a dry, rasp-
ing cough. His eyes stared vacantly
at the empty room whose only piece
of furniture was the bed. Everything
else had been sold or pawned. But
he must wait, wait only a little while
yet The Charity Organization soci-
ETY. had promised him a few marks
a week. He had applied at their mag
nificently furnished Office, and had told
his miserable tale of weeks spent in
the hospital followed by others when
he could find no work. They had
asked him number of questions and
sent him away with promise OF
help.
Since then he had been waiting
every day. Every morning he felt
sure that today the letter must come.
At last the landlord had reminded him
of the rent long overdue and said
that IL he did not pay up next time
he must move. Novel Where
should he move to? He had nowhere
to go. He picked up courage enough
to go to the charity organization
once more to remind them of promised
help. This time they were anything
but kind. He really must have
patience. What did he mean coming
there again? They had plenty OF
other cases pending and were toe
busy to investigate this. 1t would
be taken up in its regular turn.
He went home heartbroken. An
other week passed. He had got work
shoveling snow, but the first evening
he was discharged. He was much too

No Excuse

The Outrageous extravaganza of
some of the millionaires of New York
led Lord Haldane. at a dinner in
Albany, to say:
The extravaganza. the waste. that
one sees on the part Of the American
rich is very blameworthy.'
But, Lord Haldane,' said Boston
woman, "our rich are so very rich,
you know. Why shouldn't they be
extravagant and prodigal when they
have incomes of two or three millions
a year?"
Madam said Lord Haldane,
would you excuse a cook for over
sailing your dinner because he had
a superabundance of salt?"

A train slowed up at country
station and a man was seen to put
The San Francisco call and post., 1913-12-26

He is always waiting for some offer
of work, a registered letter, or COG
knows what. He expects to get an
old age pension, he says. and then he
wants to board with me-
Then you had better be careful.
Don't give him anything until you
are sure he can pay for it
You just trust me to look out for
Number One. 1 don't slave like a
mule to feed old buns like him."
The old man in the meantime had
reached his miserable room. He was
trembling with cold, hunger and ex-
haustion. All forenoon he had been
trotting around in vain, trying to get
work. He had not made a single
penny. Once he had offered to carry
the suitcase of a traveller, but the
man laughed and told him he was too
slow and handed his case to a boy.
The old man groaned. Nobody had
any use for him any more. What
was he to do IL somebody did not
help him pretty soon? He was be-
/
and did not even have as much as
crust to appease his gnawing hunger
He crept close to the little sheet

there had been a fire in 1t. How diff
| ferent things had been while he was
working in the country for the big
farmer. A nice light room with
plenty of wood and potatoes besides
his wages. No worry of any kind.
Then somebody had told him Of the
high wages in the city, and he had
moved to Berlin with wife and child.
At first everything went we'll. he
found work almost Immediately, but
then came months of enforced idle
ness and all the money he had saved
went. His wife had to go out as a
scrubwoman and the child was locked
up in their room all alone.

He staggered back to his miserable,
cold room. On the stairs he met

You make me sick with your eter-
nal question" she growled No,
nothing has come and nothing ever
will, / am sure. You are just trying
to bluff tho landlord to let you stay
with that lying tale of yours"
She turned away in disgust.
The next morning and all the next
day the old man was not seen. But
two days later short notice in the
papers related that Karl Frohlish had
been found dead in his room.
