NOT A SINGLE BRIG IN SIGHT,
Almost Every Kind of Ship That Floats Is
In Service,


There lie one phase of the marine sit
uation that is particularly noticeable in
New York. Never since the wane of
the deep-sea sailor have so many full
rugged ships and so many big barken-
tines been seen hereabouts as now
Where they all come from is mystery.
Some of them look as if they had been
in the sea of Sargossa, that Dead Sea of
the Atlantic. Others are spick and span.
There are a lot of Norwegians among
the incomers and most of them are sad
ly in need of attention. Apparently the
hospitals of the sea have been raEsack-
ed to bring forth anything that will
serve to carry freight and earn money
in these days of wonderful freights.
There would be touch of picturesque
ness if these barks and full rugged ships
would spread their canvas and show
their glories to the man who loves the
sea, but time is so valuable that no ship
depends on wind coming in or going out
of New York. Tugs pick up the Deep
sea rovers ia: down the bay aud tugs
take them out.
The sailing ship is having another
lease of life and not a minute of that
life must be sacrificed, for every minute
means money.
Schooners, too, are plentjful-three
masters and bigger.
Never was the bay SO peopled with
craft big and little, but in all its broad
stretches, 30 far as q searching eye has
been able to discover, it harbors not, and
has not harbored for many, many moons,
q brig. New York Commerce and Fl.
nance.

Sunday

in thousands of households, people
overeat, and their stomachs and livers
suffer for it the next day, and even
the day following. Ordinarily good,
big dinner hurts no one when some
work is done after it. But Sunday
is rest-day, and the stomach doesn't
get the help of the usual exercise,
and sometimes it is given too much
to do. In such cases, az. F." At

and sick headache.

She Will
Recover

So her doctor said. Her
friends and neighbors felt
sure of it too. They have
used Peruna themselves
and know of it's merits.
That old cough that had
worried her for years and
years, for which she had
taken all sorts of cough
medicines, has disappeared.
Peruna is doing the work.
She will recover. Indeed,
she has recovered.
Her name is Mrs. William
Holman, 1854 Lincoln Ave,
Chicago, Ills. She had suffered
with catarrh of the bronchial
tubes and had terrible cough
ever since a child. AS she got
older she grew worse. She
coughed both winter and sum-
mer. Had to sit up at night.
Could not sleep. But all that
has left me now. Peruna has
cured me-"
There are others, and there
is reason.

before going into the quaint theater to
see the Mission Play. San Gabriel vii
lage is called the Oberammergau of
America, since here, in the little theater
just across the road from the old San
Gabriel Mission, is given daily most
thrilling drama OF California history,
and the most impressive spectacle have
ever been privileged to see.
The Mission Playhouse is in itself
unique, giving the atmosphere of an old
mission, while it is encircled by gardens
in which are miniature reproductions of
all the twenty-one Missions on The
Kings Highway from San Diego to San
Francisco. each in its proper setting. An
cient Mission bells, rung inside the Play
house, recall the audience from pilgrim
aging between the acts along this Ell
Canine Real
The illusion was perfect, and the mod
ern world seemed far away while we
lived for a few hours in CALIFORNIA;
past, and realized as we could have done
by other means the heroism of Faith
er Junipero Sierra and the brave Fran
ciscans in bringing Christianity and
civilization to the Indians. We learned
more of the story Of the Missions, that
is California; early history, in that one
afternoon than we could have learned
from many books by hours of study.
The Mission Play is remarkable COM
bination of religious fervor, pathos and
romance, with just enough of the spec
tacular to render it pleasing; yet it is
absolutely true to history. One hundred
actors take part, including descendants
of the original natives, who were civiiz-
ed by the padres in the early days. The
participants reside in near by colony
of their own, where they may be visited
between performances as at Oberam-
mergau. We wished that the story of
the Pilgrim Fathers could be presented
here in the East in as vivid manner
for it would surely make quite as thrill
ling drama.
After the performance we crossed the
road and visited the old Mission San
Gabriel. This was disappointment, af-
ter the Santa Barbara Mission. as it was
somewhat restored, and very much COM
mercialized. Instead of a devout monk
showing precious relics reverently, and
accepting what money was offered as
aims for his needy poor, doorkeeper of
pronouncedly Jewish type stopped US
and demanded quarter as an admission
fee, after which we could look about as
we pleased. We wished that we had
left undisturbed our memories of the
devout atmosphere of the Missions as
exemplified at Santa Barbara and by the
wonderful play we had just seen. San
Gabriel Mission, however, possesses
some very precious relics, embroidered
robes and altar cloths, and beautifully
illuminated prayer books and quaint old
music books. We saw here, also, what
is claimed to be Ramona's baptismal
font, though we saw and heard of so
many Ramona relics in southern Cali
fornia that it is difficult to believe in the
genuineness of them all.
We returned at a late hour to Los
Angeles and dined with my aunt and
cousins at their apartments on Sunset
Boulevard, where we surely showed our
appreciation of home fare after long ex-
perience with hotel cooks
