Our one big ambition in life is to
some day compile a list of Sham-
rock citizens and publish it, listing
everybody in tihe order of how easy
they are to get along with. The kind,
thoughtful people who always place
themselves in the other person's
place before passing judgment are
entitled to public recognition and
likewise the chronic gripers and
Jault-finders who are always swell-
ing up and bawling somebody out
should be given a little of their own
medicine. Of course, everybody al-
ready knows who these old sore-
heads are and don't pay any atten-
tion to them, but nevertheless it Is
<otir ambition to publish a list of
them and we may do it some of
these days.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12. — An
ancient whale was washed ashore
at the ocean beach here Friday and
it was believed the huge mammal
had been killed in a collision with a
boat while disporting in San Fran-
cisco Bay. The huge carcass was
driven ashore by waves stirred by a
gale.
The bluish-gray body, more than
50 feet long and weighing about 100
tonsijlodged directly on the sandy
bead# near the wreckage of the
freighter Ohioan.
Marine men surmised that the
whale had come to grief by sticking
his square nose into a big ship.
The whale entered the harbor sev-
eral days ago and sea captains and
tugboat members, with records for
sobriety, reported seeing the giant
creature.
Dr. J. C. Cteiger, city and county
health officer, hastily recruited a
“whale expert” and hurried to the
beach to size up the situation.
“It would seem that the best plan
for disposing of the big carcass
might be to cut it up,” Dr. Geiger
remarked. »
“Many years' ago a whale washed
ashore at the beach and the fire de-
partment attempted to burn it up.
But the odor—well, that plan just
didn't work out.”
