which he handled the Executive Com

the meetings, and taking more lively

cases. All have to say is the more
there are in the state that equal Santa
Cruz in excellence of climate, the better
for the state. Santa Cruz County has
beautiful location on the northern
side of Monterey bay, with the Santa
Cruz mountains on the north. The city
of Santa Cruz is the watering place of
California. At the present time there
are thousands of people here from San
Francisco and all parts of the state to
enjoy the sea bathing and various other
attractions which the county affords.
The harvest in this county will be
nearly an average one, though in some
sections of the state the crops are al
most total failure. In other localities
the crops were never better; yet, for
the state, this is called the hardest sea-
son since '64. May it be the hardest
for many years to come. w. Fl. G.

Our Daisy lay down
In her little nightgown.
And kissed me again and again,
On forehead and cheek,
On lips that would speak,
But found themselves shut, to their gain.
Then, foolish, absurd,
To utter word
1 asked her the question so old,
That wife and that lover
Ask over and over,
As if they were surer when told.
There close at her side
''Do you love me ~ 1 cried:
She lifted her golden-crowned head;
Apuzzled surprise
Shone in her gray eyes
why, that's why kiss you'll" she said

Mr. George w. Robinson has the
sword of Col. Baum taken on the field
by Lieut.. Thomas Jewett of Capt.
Dewey's company. 1t has been down
in the Old South collection at Boston.
He has also Col. Baum's iron camp ket-
tie, of most unique construction. 1t
has riveted spindle legs, and is shaped
like a huge tin pail with the cover on,
cut open down the front. How the
kettle was used is mystery to this
day l believe the fire was built under
it, but better antiquarians think it was
put in the kettle itself.
Lieut.. Jewett also took Col. Baum's
hat, tore off it's decorations and wore it,
1t is now owned in Weybridge.
The old Westinghouse was packed
so full of prisoners that there was feal
for its safety, so some were let out and
escaped.
Eleazer Hawks was home with his
sick wife when the firing began. He
took his musket and fought, as did
scores of others, independently of any
militia company.
John Fay was firing from behind a
tree, and his last words as he raised his
musket to fire were, 81 feel that | am
fighting in a good cause"-a ball struck
him in the very centre of his forehead
The cry "John Fay is shot" reused his
comrades to fury and they sprang from
behind the trees, fired their guns in the
very faces of the enemy, and pressed
over the breastwOrk.
Capt. Stephen Fay kept the Cata-
mount tavern, and, as the prisoners
filed by toward the meeting-hOu after
the battle, he graciously informed them
that the dinner was ready which theil
