Friday, April 27.
Washington.—In a apeelal message
to congress. President Roosevelt urges
the immediate appropriation of $300,-
OOo for work at the Mare Island navy
yard at San Francisco, in order that
employment may be provided for
muny In the stricken city. He also
urges the necessity for the appropria-
tion of money for the re-establish-
ment of an army supply staion In 3au
Francisco. The message follows:
"To the Sena'e and House of Repre-
sentatives:
"I herewith enclose communication
from the Navy department and the
War department in reference to com
munioations from Mayor Schmitz of
San Francisco, and front other repre-
sentatives of California. With n cour-
age and self-reliance of which we can
not, as Americans, be sufficiently
proud, the people of San Francisco
have already started In orderly and
resolute fashlon'to rebuild the city.
Immediate aid In this enterprise
should be given by the federal govern
inent. One of the crying needs of the
situation is employment for the scores
of thousands of men who have lost
everything. If the appropriation of
*300,000 for the Mare Island navy yard
be at once passed, over 2.000 men will
be Immediately put to work, for this
appropriation will be expended only
in employing labor. The appropria
lion Is urgently needed bs a means of
contribution toward the re-establish-
ment of affairs In San Francisco; It
will also be of material use to the
navy.
“Furthermore. I recommend that
th? congress act cm the recommenda-
tions of the War department ami ap-
propriate the money necessary to es-
tablish a building as a general supply
and storage depot for the supply de-
partment of the army and the trans-
port service, on a part of the military
reservation at Ft. Mason. This pro-
ject Is set forth In Senate bill 44T5 of
the present session.
•| have requested the Treasury nntl
: Postoffice departments to prepare
their estimates for replacing or re-
pairing the other government build-
ings in San Francisco. These esti-
mates will he ready In a short time,

►warming over th-
is n d plundering
and even murdering the people Excited
groups gathered on the streets, and in
the market place rehearsing these
stories and with each repetition some
new and awful detail was added until at
last that which started as vague and un-
certain rumor was told and believed as
actual fact.
• They caunut be very far front the
city now." remarked one of a group
standing near the < Ity's gnte, "for this
morning my brother came In over the
road which runs to the north and be
told me he saw many of the half-naked
Hebrews lurking In the fields and scur-
•ylug here and there like rate over a
dung heap."
Why are not the soldiers called out?"
broke In a voice, nervously. "1 always
felt those Hebrews would can <•
trouble."
Yes.' spoke upn third, "they say that
Moses has returned and this uprising
is doubtless his work. It Is known that
he has lieen before Pharaoh, and the
report Is that he demanded that his [*■<>-
ple be let go into the wilderness to hold
a fast to their god."
"And what did Pharaoh say," several
voices demanded In chorus, ibut before
answer could be made the attention of
all was directed to a man who at that
moment entered the city. As he passed
the group the excitement mirrored In
the faces there, or the intent stare with
which his movements were followed. Im-
pelled him to stop.
"What's In the wind'.'" he Inquired.
“Why you look as solemn and concerned
ns though the sacred bull was dead, or
Osiris had forgotten to shine u|sia
L. ■ pt "
"Well. It's quite as bad,” one of Ihe
group replied, "for the Hebrew hordes
in Goshen have broken forth and are
pillaging the land.
The stranger greeted this bit of news
with a loud guffaw and clapped his,
hand* on his knees In the excess of his
amusement
"When did you learn to be frightened
at a shadow?" at last he managed to ask
between his bursts of laughter. "Thu
Hebrews are swarming over the land, nil
right, but they're doing nothing worse
than clearing the stubble from the field*.
Have you not heard of Pharaoh's latest
order? It's a dry bit of humor.'*
■'Tell us! tell us!" was Ihe eager cry
of a dozen voices.
“When they asked to go Into th?
wilderness he told them that they must
he idle to have time to think about such
things, and has ordered that no more
straw be given them for the making of
bricks. And for this reason they are
scattered over the land searching for
the stubble.”
"Are you certain of this thing?” ques-
tioned the nervous Individual, not quite
satisfied.
"Certainly," sharply rejoined the
stranger, "have not 1 just come from
Goshen?”
"Why. If It Isn't Akhoris," exclnlnted
an Individual'who at that moment
stepped up to the group, and who
pressed his way through the crowd and
greeted the stranger. "How about these
disturbing reports?" he asked. “I was

would be mining In to Memphis."
"Nothing In them. Mykerlnus, as I
have been telling these men here. Ami
he went on to repeat his story.
"As 1 thought,” responded Mykerlnus
when Akhoris had finish »d. "This per-
haps will be a lesson to Mi weaand Aaron
not to meddle In the a .'airs of the
Hebrews, anil will teach the latter not
to listen to thei- misguided leaders."
"Exactly." Akhorta replied. And the
two left the group and passed on up the
street. "I tell you Mykerlnus Ihe offi-
cers of these people are learning a les-
son or two these days. Gave one fellow
a beating last night before I left for
Memphis, which he won't forget in a
hurry, and I only ceased when he hid
called down all the curses of the Egyp-
t Ians upon the heads of Moses and Aaron.
You see when the people do not supply
the usual tale of brick we hold the
Hebrew officers over them accountable,
and' they are beginning to learn that the
efforts of Moses and Aaron in their be-
half are multiplying their troubles in-
stead of lightening them.”
"But I fear one result of driving tho
people broadcast over the land."
"What is that ? It rerta nly will be
a good thing getting the fields cleared
of stubble."
"True, but as the Hebrews go
throughout the land of Egypt they
will come to realize their blreiigth
of numbers and will learn the secrets
of the land and Us wealth, anil, fur-
thermore, they will by their great dis-
tress and miserable condition win the
sympathy of tho people. Pharaoh,
as you know, is as much hated as
feared by the lower casts. It Is the
priestly power and the soldiers which
maintain his throne. Is It not peril-
ous. therefore, to cause these Hebrews
to scatter thus over the face of the
country?"
"There is some truth in what you
say, in fact the business which brings
me to Memphis has somewhat to do
with this phase of the matter. It
seems that the princess who years
ago reared and educated Moses, and
showed kindnesses unto his people,

Ing down this way with a gang ot
the men serving under him to gather

stripped from the fields nearer homo.
Will you do this thing for me?"
"I will," was the reply as they sep-
arated.
Tin- next day morning found My
kerlnu* knocking at the gate of
Kephren and he was soon bargaining
for tho trull* of the extensive gar
den. •
I will go out and look over what
you have at my leisure, ami we can
come to a price later. No. you need
not trouble to come with me." he
added as his host nr..*.- to go with
him, "for doubtless you have many
things to occupy your attention."
As he passed through the groves of
trees examining the fruit ne encoim
terod a servant at work there. Stop
ping to talk with him concerning the
fruit and the woll-kepP trios he led
to the thought uppermost in Ills mind
and spoke casually of the imor
Hebrews at work In the stubble fields.
"Yes, master is quite Interested in
them," was the reply. “He Is talk-
ing with one ot the Hebrews In the
summer house yonder, now," point-
ing as he spoke to a small building
whose top coulu Just he seen through
the luxuriant growth of trees an.I
vines anil flowers which surrounded
aud covered It.
Mykerlnus tried not to appear spe-
cially Interested In the remark and
sauntered off leisurely, but he took
good pains to go In the direction In
dicated. and, approaching the place
from the rear, he was able to gain a
[joint from which he could hear the
voices.
"You must needs see Pharaoh, you
and other of your officials." he over-
heard Kephren any. "I will make It
possible tor you to gain his presence,
and as regards this matter of Ak-
horis, we will see that Pharaoh hears
some stories that will anger Ihe latter
against him. But you must he gotug
now. and have a cure how thou leave
the garden for there is present here
to-day a Memphis merchant whom it
would not he well to have know of
onr meeting."
Mykerlnus remained quiet In his
hiding place until the footsteps had
died away In the distance and then
he made a detour of the guriltu and
u ached the house where he closed
Uls bargain and took his departure.
We must take the sting from
Kephren's stories." Akhoris exclaimed,
when Mykerlnus had made his report
Wo must prejudice Pharaoh aga'nst
the coming of thesa Hebrew officials
so that he will neither listen to them
or believe the stork s w.ien they come
to his ears."
"Trust me for that," was tbe con
(blent reply. "Among the priests and
the soldiers we nave such a system
as will carry an.v tidings we may wish
to Pharaoh, and ion can trust tne
crapy priests to give gueh coloring
to matters as shall best «uit us.”
Three days later the company of
Hebrew officials appeared at the pal-
ace with Jahzlel as their sisdtes-
man and leader, and througa the kind-
ly offices of Kephren they were ad-
mitted to the royal presence. The
king sat upon his throne, ati.l about
him on either hand were his advisers
and other Egyptian officials, making
an Impressive and solemn scene. In
spite of all this Jahzlel spoke up
bravely, saying:
Wherefore, Oh king, dealest thus
with thy servants? There is no straw
given unto thy servants, and thy
overseers say untn us: Make brick;
and, behold, thy servants are beaten,
lint the fault Is In thine own peopl". "
Silence filled the gi»-ul ruuiu h.-> be
ceased speaking, and tnen a move-
ment at the side of the king drew lis
attention anil that of the others and
from behind one of the giant pills r*
stepped Akhoris. The spasm of s tr-
prise and fear which swept over 1 I*
face and the face of the Hebrews
with him did not escape the keen
eye of the king, and taking tills as a
sign that the stories which he tad
heard were true, he shouted:
"Ye are Idle, ye are idle! as tl If
man here has shown before your com-
ing. Had it not been ao Moses would
not have askon that ye be let go to
do sacrifice to your god. Go there-
fore now. and work; for there shall
no straw be given you, yet shall ye
deliver the tale of brick."
Aud thus dismissed the Helm vs

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its
Effect.
No one is In better position to know
the \ .Hue of food and drink than a
trained nurae.
Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wilkes-
Barre. Pa., writes: “1 used to drink
strong coffee myself and suffered great-
ly from headaches and indigestion.
While on a visit to my brothers l had
a good chance lo try Postum Food
Coriee, tor they drank U *ltoge:hei in
place of ordinary coffee. In tw.. weeks,
after using Postum, I found l was
much benefited and finally my head-
rches disappeared and also the Inai-
;est ion.
"Naturally 1 have since used Postum
among my putlenis. und have noticed a
marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
"1 observe a curious fact about Post-
um used among mothers. It greatly
helps the flow of milk in cases where
I coffee is inclined lo dry it up, and
where tea causes nervousness.
I find trouble In getting servants to
make Postum properly. They moat al-
ways serve it before it has been boiled
long enough. It should be boiled 15 or
20 minutes und served wt !» .ream,
when it is certainly a delicious bever-
age."
"There's a reason" for Postum.
