A prayer that in the new existence before us all, in the struggle of beginning all over in—that is for many—that we don't let our hearts grow weary. That we care of the dulling, chilling in- ce of all work and no play. No one can afford to become a mere nachine, that is, no one who hopes o be successful, and the surest way to become a dullard 18 to lock .yourself up with your work, to have never a thought beyond it or the returns it brings. Pleasure is essential to well being. it is as necessary for your mind and vour soul as are clothes and food for the comfort of your body. You can- not be a good business man or business woman without some pleasure comes into your life. The social gathering of friends, the delight of bright conversa- tion, the uplifting influence of music, happy faces, sparkling eyes and joyous ughter will make you all the more it and ready for business. A man or a woman who has no friends is a per- son to be pitied. They are small, they are narrow. By friends I don’t mean those people you meet during business hours. They are acquaintances. They do not count for anything. They only know the business side of you, the hard money-getting side. And that is all you know of them. They forget you the minute they go to their homes. And when you are no longer in business they forget you altogether. o3 e 1 f This is a time when we all have to i i | 3 ave, when ake care does not living does of themselves. can denying. not mcan earning a bare It medns earning the right arning the right to enjoy the \d the people and 21l the beau- the world.

Neither s it because some one fondly %magines that Erin’s sons had a finger in the takifig of the Bastille. "It is all on account of a pact made between Raphael Weill and Architect Mahoney. For fifty years Raphael Weill has seen the French and American flags float over his place of business on the 14th of July: Workmen, architect and Providence being willing, he will see the flags of liberty waving over the new White House on this year's holiday. With this end in view he en- tered ifto an agreement with the architect. ~ “Mahoney,” said the ardent Fernch- man, who is equally as ardent a Cali- fornian and American citizen, “Ma- honey, my Van Ness avenue store must be ready by July 14, It is the date of our great French national holiday, and there must be a handsome Maison Blanche for my flag to float from. “Onh, 1 guess the place will be ready,” said Mahoney. But Raphael Weill wanted more than 4 guess, he wanted the word—the architect’s word, which is better than his bond. And so with his French diplomacy and grest savoir faire he cunningly said: “Mahoney, if my place is ready on the 14th of July I'll float the Irish flag aiong with the French and Ameri- can banners.” s A “Agreed,” said the architect. And now Mahoney is telling every one to Jwwich out” for the Irieh flag on top No matter how different pur | Erin’s flag will mingle its folds with | | all. | { | Bverybody has been and is kind. 1 GRERT EARTHQUAKES ARE SHAKING S0ME PART OF THE GLOBE | | l Siesmograph in Washington Records Disturbances Long Distance Away. | One Tremor Lasts Nearly Two Hours and Is Unusually | SCVCI'C.

No one is too poor or too small to help one poorer and smaller than he. All of us have discovered noble traits in our neighbors of which they were never suspected. We all know that the world, so long painted as cold and ctuel, is good, generous and unselfish. And, best of all, we have learned to know ourselves. We have found we had remarkable powers of endurance; that we can get along without things that we imagined were essential to our very being; that we ean do things we never imagined we could; that we are pretty brave and capable folks. There- fore, please, no more of that talk about “it was coming to us.” If the new San Francisco is as decent as the old, there won't be much cause for complaint, I'm thinking. .

It is like taking money under false pretenses and Mr. Metzger has almost decided to send out cards announcing that no such luck as claiming an Oak- land belle for a wife has been his; that he has no time at present to give even a thought to matrimeny.

About ten days before the earthquake in San Francisco a vibration was recorded that | was much greater than last night's. The vibration recorded here last*night was greater than any since the disaster at San Francisco.

NEW YORK, June 2.—Captain Smith of the White Star liner Baltic, which arrived here yesterday, reported that during a dense fog while off the Scot- land lightship at 1 o'clock yesterday morning the submarine Bell telephone system on his steamer caught the bell recently installed on the lightship. This was of great advantage, as it gave him instant knowledge of his po- sition, the thick weather making it im- possible to sight the lightship. The Government has installed subma- rine bells on a number of lightships from Maine to Florida within the past sixty days, and navigators have been asked to report any data regarding them. Captain Smith was the first navigator to make a report. Reduce Lumber Rates.
