PAIL GOING TO JERUSALEM.

And they all brought us on our way vii
wives and children till we were ont of u
citv. and we kneeled down on the shore a.
prayed" Acts. XXI, ..
Not within frescoed walls,
These parting prayers arise,
But through the ether blue,
Under the open skies.
Not upon carpets rich,
These willing knees are pressed,
But on the clean white sand,
In toiling garments dressed.
Not through the sounding aisle,
Doth thrill the organs peal,
But music of the waves,
SWells where the people kneel,
The blazing sun above,
The busy city near;
The fisher ships his oar,
With reverential ear.
Wives and their little ones,
Have brought them on their way;
Fathers and mothers dear,
Must now the parting say.
"0h! go not up, they plead
With their united breath;
''Stay, tabernacle here,
Jerusalem is death.
But ever toward the mark,
The path of duty trod;
And now Paul knows the Joy
OF putting trust IN God.
THE LAST FLY OF SUMNER.
'Tis the last fly of summer,
Left buzzing alone.
All his merry companions
Have vanished and gone.
Not in graceful gyrations
Now deftly he skins,
For he is weak in the winglets
And stiff in the limbs.
His flights have'grOwn shorter,
And longer his rests;
He crawls DER the table,
My paper molests.
Yet though seemingly doing,
Full watchful he stands,
To mark when I'm busy,
Engaged with both hands.
Then he grasps the occasion,
And promptly he goes
To tickle my fingers,
Or light on my nose.
To creep DER my bald pate,
Ny ear to explore,
Or to traverse my eyeids-
This terrible bore.
Yet one proof Of alertness
Remains to him still
he lodges the 'kerchIef
That's.firted to kill.
My raised hand he laughs at.
-t This pestilsnt elf,
And the blow that should Smash hin
Aights on myself.
Well the winter is coming,
And Jack Frost is nigh;
And then, vile tOrmentor,
I'll smile when you die.

All SIN.

Considering the general feeling of hostility
towards the Chinaman in California, that wa,
most unfortunate affair for their race in
which three Cinnamon were caught on the
18th inst, near Rocklin in Placer county. A
imam named Sargent had sold mining claim
to Chinaman for 1920 and placed the money
| in his trunk in the house of II Mr.. Oder, with
whom he boarded. Next day Q5th) three
Cinnamon came to Sargent pretending they
wanted to buy another claim. One Of them
went with Sargent to see the claim, and while
they were gone the other two killed Oder and
his wife, and cutting open Sargent's trunk
took out the $120 that had been paid him a
few days before. Meantime Sargent and the
Chinaman who had gone To see the claim hav-
ing rot some distance from the house, the Chi.
naman drew his revolver and shot Sargent so
that he died next day. The three Cinnamon
fled, but were afterwards arrested, and will
doubtless be hanged.
This, however, by no means satisfied Cali
fornia vengeance. Notice was at once served
on all the Chinaman in Rocklln to leave which
they did bag and baggage, without stopping
to argue or say good bye The Cinnamon
living in Rocklin were not only compelled to
leave, but all the Cinnamon in Placer coun.
ty, and as rapidly as they vacated their houses,
hundreds in number, they were set on fire
to light them on the way, And still worse, if
any Cinnamon showed opposition, or were
more tardy in their motions than suited the
regulators" they were shot down like dogs
These operations not only extended all over
Placer county, but by Monday were extending
to many other counties north of Sacramento.
Finally call was made on the Governor for
military aid to protect the Cinnamon, and as
this was about to be sent the work of incendi-
arism and murder has probably by this time
come to an end.

the train stopped the robbers took possession,

the safe robbed of about $4,000. The passen-

opening of the grounds on Sunday, have
awakened new interest in and given new life
to the Little Centennial Show" as it is called

anywhere until the next worlds fair. Happily
the new impulse given it now places it on

The management are now organizing a

the State Fairs, which are being held all over
the country. A system of awards will be
adopted, arranged more with regard to high
value than to number. 1t is proposed that the
medals awarded shall represent the highest
character which can possibly be given to
manufactured goods. In this Fair our whole
people should be interested, and, is possible
lend their attendance. The vast machinery
set in motion by the last Centennial has been
utilized for the present International Exhibi-
