Indeed, since the there has been a general stiffening of San land valnes. Owners remember the tremendous advances in real property at Seattle, Chicago, Galveston and elsewhere after the mo-| mentary lull caused by the disasters which those cities passed throngh, and prefer to enjoy the benefits of the same advances which may be looked for in San Francisco, rather than pass them along to speculator. In some instances land has sold at an advance over prices asked before the fire the Reese property, near Market and Valenci streets, for example, having brought $2000 above the price for which it was advertised up to the! time of the disaster.

It 'was feared that the delinquency would amount to nearly half a million, and the much smaller de- linqueney is a pleasant surprise to the municipa! authorities and the financial interests of the city. San Franeciseo is in much better financial condition than was thought possible six weeks ago. Senator Burton of Kansas has at last discovered, what has been apparent the country over for some time, that his toga didn’t fit.

An abundance of work and a famine of werkmen rep- resent a condition that is constantly growing more com- mon in America. The greatest trouble is the dearth of farm hands, as shown by the report of the State’s free employment office in this city. Men absolutely refuse to leave the cities for the fields. But the problem is not confined to the country. In the cities there is work a-plenty and a dearth of workmen. Apparently with each | succeeding year common labor grows less attractive. Yet there is not a notable increase in the number of vagrants | and able-bodied paupers. The riddie probably has its solution in the fact that prosperity and thrift have de- pleted the ranks of common laborers, leading them to ! seek better things in life —Cleveland Plain Dealer. * * 1 1 | - i | minute. | now, | neara :Though I 2m not here a-claimin’ | An® now.” Noah sat around a while, then he said ' to Shem: “You run up stairs and tell your ma she’s got to get a move on. - Tell her it's raining to beat the band now, and if she doesn’t want to get soalked she'll | mosey along.” So Shem ran up stairs.
