LIFT QUARANTINE IN
IS. F. STOCKYARDS
Nv Tuitad prasc Leased Nsre

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-Lift-
ing of the quarantine on San Fran
cisco stockyards and the discovery
of one new infection in Los Angc-
les county were the outstanding
developments of the last "a hours
in the California hoof and mouth
disease epidemic among livestock.
Orders were issued by Governor j.
G.. Scrugham, of Nevada, whereby
all passengers on trains or travel
lers by any form of conveyance from
California must undergo inspection
and. examination before crossing the
Nevada state line. Fear that the
disease might be carried on hand
baggage, clothing or by other means
into the state caused the order.
In California outside of San Fran
cisco there has been no relaxation
of the quarantine rules.

Listening In On Foe

IsI'm afraid the driver didn't take our groceries out of the car and now he's gone. You see, there's nothing here but the bag and bundles we brought with Jus from the city.
 But surely, began. and then glancing hastily around I saw that she was right. How maddening. There's no excuse for such carelessness. Oh we'll we can telephone to the garage to have him come right back here. Per haps the twenty-mile round trip again over these fFightful roads will teach him Ia lesson.
 Molly ran to the phone and l watched her anxiously as she alter nately rang and joggled the receiver. Its absolutely dead, she gasped.
 Then, of course, I tried it. No re. suits. l suggested that we walk to the nearest farm and telephone from there f 'ssWhat, in those high-heeled patent, leather pumps?n said Molly. You can't blow through the mud in those. It's nearly two miles. Maybe the man will bring the stuff out tomorrow when he comes with the trunks. We can do some reducing tonight
 T had the remnants of bag of salt ed almonds which I had bought on the train. We ate them with dried apricots and some olives we found on the pam try shelf.
 What meal! groaned Molly. l told her we should soon be asleep and forget all about it.
 Sleep r she exclaimed. Come and look at this bed and yours, too. What a mess
 Good graciousr I looked aghast at the pile of feathers and bits of cotton where our bedding had been stacked. T thought these things were safe from nice

 And then some,' added. We slept under our cloaks and some cur tains. As you see, we didn't perish with the cold, although we thought we should freeze to death almost. When the trunks came in the morning the chauffeur was visibly hurt by our in quiries about the provisions.
 aThere want nuthin' fin that car but what took out here,' he insisted. More'n likely old Binks didn't put lem in 4t
 "'I put them in myself said.
 sI'll find out, he said, stepping to the telephone. He took a look at it, twisted two tiny wires together and to our chagrin and surprise calmly called up Binks. He says you put them things in the wrong car. They was took out to Norgardess place. Mrs. Norgard called up and said she could use lem all He says you won't have to pay nothing for 'em.'
 ''NThank goodness for that remarked Molly, and then we both laughed. We drove back to tine village in tine truck and I have written this in the office of the little hotel while Molly has been buying food and bedding. I didn't ex. actly like to trust myself with any such responsibilities.

 Dear Ethelwyn: You will be glad to hear that we, my sister Molly ana |. arrived safely at Hickory Dock
 s;You know how I have wished for several years to come up here, early and watch the spring the first shy flowers and listen to the happy songs of the nesting birds. think now that my longings are completely satisfied.
 There is more to be considered than shy flowers and shy birds. There are even shy provisions
 '.We stopped in the village before driving the ten miles to Hickory Dock and bought q generous supply of eat ables.. | was so afraid that Binks, the easy going grocer, would forget some thing that I carried all the packages out and put them in the ear myself while Molly was walking up and down the street shaking hands with old friends, as the country paper always says. don't know where the chauf- feur was.
 "Then we started and eventually ar rived at Hickory Dock.
 Imagine I said when Molly and I were carrying our impedimenta into the house, what we should do in this far away wilderness without rations."
 We may not have to imagine it. she replied, giving me an anxious look.

 Why do you wish to stop their calling you Miss NAiary?" You evidently think it shows lack of respect.

my daughters live as they please? They do not pay any attention to my opinions, anyway. SAD MOTHER. You are a wise woman, Sad Mother. And you will do well if you go back to your little place and establish your own home where you can live the sort of life that you enjoy.
 You will be happier, and your daugh- ters will be happier. and you will be more fond of each other when you do not live together and have your per sonalities clash every hour of the day.
 Sometimes we have to get away
 from those we love in order to get
 perspective on. their virtues.
 When we live in close touch with
 them we See only their faults.
 To my mind, the greatest mis-
 take that people can make is in
 thinking that, because they happen
 to stand in certain relationship
 to each other, they are bound to
 live together, no matter how an-
 tagonistic they are nor how they
 poison each others lives with their
 never-ending quarrels.
 All of us know mothers and daugh- ters, and sisters, who fight over every trifle, and who come to hate each other so that they look forward to each others death as relief from lifelong misery, but who haven't enough intelli- gence and backbone to get up and go away from the individual who is a thorn in their flesh, although by so do- ing they could secure peace and happi- ness for all concerned.
