Miss Mabel Bartlett arrived from Stanford University on a belated train at 3 o'clock Monday morning, weary, but glad to be home again where peace and quiet reign. She tells of courteous treatment by the railroad people, no fares being collected, or even asked for, from the passengers.

GAVE AWAY HER CLOTHES Miss Mabel Bartlett arrived Sunday night from Stanford University and will remain at her home on Santa Clara street for some time. Miss Bartlett's experience was thrilling. After the earthquake and the destruction of the Stanford buildings she found plenty of sufferers who had lost all their belongings and she generously opened her trunk and gave away almost all her wearing apparel. When she applied for her ticket she did not have a cent of money but the agent kindly trusted her and she arrived home in safety Sunday night.
