CHINATOWN SECRETS
PERISH WITH THE BURNING
OF BAN FRANCISCO.
Underground Passages Wherein Many
Prisoners and Mysteries Were
Reduced to Ashes and
Oblivion.
Los Ang'eles, Cal.—"For the first
time In half a cent/ry the depths of
Chinatown are open to the eyes of
white men#" said W. W. Overton, who
reached Log Angeles among the refu-
gees. .
"No heap of smoking ruins markR
the sight of the wooden warrens where
the slat-eyed men of the Orient dwelt
In thousands. The place Is pitted with
deep holes and seared with dark pas-
sageways, from whose depths come
smoke wreaths. All the wood has gone
and the winds are streaking the ashea.
"Men, white men. never knew the
depth of Chinatown's underground
city," says Mr. Overton. "They often
talked of these subterranean runways.
And many of them had gone beneath
the street levels two and three stories.
But now that Chinatown has been un-
masked, for the destroyed buildings
were only a mask, men from the hill-
side have looked on where Its Inner se-
crets lay.
"In places they can see passages 100
feet deep. The fire swept this Mon-
golian section clean. It left no shred ,
of the painted wooden fabric. It ate
down to the bare ground, and this lies
stark, for the breeze have taken away
the light ashes.
"Joss houses and mission schools,
grocery stores and opium dens, gamb-
ling hells and theaters—all of them
went; Th buildings blazed up like
tissue paper lanterns when the gut-
tering candle touched their sides.
"From this pla^e I saw hundreds of
frenzied yellow men flee. In their arms
they bore their opium pipes, their
money bags, their silks and their chil-
dren. Beside them ran the baggy
trousered women, and some of them
hobbled painfully.
"These were men and women of the
surface. Far beneath the streets in
those cellars and passageways were
other lives. Women who never saw the
day from their darkened prisons and
blinking Jailers were caught lilft? rats
In a huge trap. Their very bones were
eaten by the flames.
"And now there remain only the
holes. They pit the hillside like a mul-
titude of ground swallow nests. They
shows depths which the police never
knew. The secrets of those burrows
will never be known, for Into them the
hungry flre first sifted its red coals
and then licked engerly in tongues of
creeping flames, finally obliterating
everything except (he earth itself."
CHARM OF LONDON CONE.
Lament of an Englishman Recently
Returned from Long Sojourn
Abroad.
Don't Poison Baby.
FORTY TEAKS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE 13 NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them " poison." The definition of " narcotic " is! "A medicine which relieves -pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul-
sions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON-
TAIN NARCOTICS, if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.

London.—"I am sorry I ever cams
back," said an Englishman who has
Just returned after an absence of ten
years In Canada.
"The place I have thought about
and dreamed of throughout my trav-
els and which was so dear to me be-
fore I quitted England has disap-
peared. Gone are the picturesque
buildings, obliterated are the histori-
cal associations and perished is the
peculiar charm which made London
so dear to its natives.
"In the place of it we have wide
streets waiting for houses to border
them; we have gigantic buildings
with little claim to architectural
beauty: we have tubes in all direc-
tions for the molelike population who
love to burrow underground and we
have a crowd of motor buses which
make day and night alike hideous
with their grunting, their screeching
and their clatter. But the charm of
London—the poetry of our great city
—which was so indescribably fasci-
nating has depatred."
Out of sight, out of mind. Very
true. Blind Cupid is out of sight,
and everybody knows that he is en-
tirely out of mind.
Where Others Failed.
"Each spring for five or six years I
broke out with a kind of Eczema, which
nothing seemed to relieve permanent-
ly. Finally I tried a box of Hunt's
Cure, which promptly cured me. Two
years have passed by, but the trouble
has not returned."
Mrs. Kate Howard,
Little Rock, Ark.
Some men have business tact, but
it is the financial genius who can coin
money out of each and every bank-
ruptcy.
