AN IMMENSE FARM.
Fifty-five Thousand Acres Enclosed
by I5O Miles of fence,


by $50 Miles of Fence,
The great wheat field of California
lies in Colusa county, which also con-
tains one of the largest farms in the
world. The country comprises large
part of the extensive Sacramento val
ley, and is sixty miles in length and on
the average fortyfve miles in width.

cen, 1000; three, 1900; thirty-six, L.

has been to debar immigration and
choke out tradesmen and mechanics.

river frontage of sixteen and half
miles, and is inclosed by 80 miles OF

q year.

1924, and graduated at the Medical Uni
versity of Missouri in 1864. Shortly
afterward he married and commenced
life with a capital of $40 With that
he purchased an OK team and crossed
the plains to California. He engaged in
mining and was successful. In 1850 he
returned to Missouri with 5000, and
bought and drove horses to California
and Mexico. He made his first pur-
chase of land in 1867, buying 900 acres
at 81, go per acre, and a short time after
wards purchased 1000 acres more at
about the same price Since then he
has been absorbing the land on either
sides at varying prices. Three years
ago he was a candidate for Governor of
California, consorting in the meantime
with Dennis Kearney.

rHErAnMEH-s SEVENTY YEARS

All. there he is. lad, at the pillow;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoe'er the task might be,
None ever saw him snirk.
And he can laugh, too. till his eye
Run DER with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an oil timesong
In spite Of seventy years.
Good morning friends, It's twelve o'eltek
Time for half-hour's rest.
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate il with a zest.
A harder task it is" he said,
Than following up these steers
Or mending fences, far, Tor Inc
To feel my seventy years.
You ask ne Why feel 50 young;
I'm sure. friends, l can't tell,
But think It Is my good wife's fault
Who kept me up so WE'LL
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale Of tears;
She's given me love and hope and strength
For more than forty years.
And then, my boys have ali done well,
As far as they have gone,
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on.
My girls have never caused pang,
Or raised up anxious fears
Then wonder not that / feel young
And hale at seventy years.
Why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and restl
All friends, that wouldn't do for me;
like my owl way best.
They have their duty; l have mine;
nd till the end auuears
| mean to smell the soil, my friends,
Said the man Of seventy years.

An Enterprising Fisherman.
Hartford Times.

A couple of Hartford gentlemen WI o
were off Montauk Point blue fishing on
Wednesday, say that the waves were
running high, and bluefish were plen-
ty. The waves breaking into the boat
drenched them to the skin, and made
them think that the spot was spiced
with danger. A short distance away
was one-armed man, alone in his
boat, II nd he was handling FIVE lines,
besides keeping his boat right side up.
When a fish was hooked he would hold
the tiller between his knees and haul
in the fish by winding the line round
the stump of his lost arm.

HOMEOPATHIC Medicines as rule,
are not amenable to the chemical tests
and analyses used in testing drugs gen.
orally. Their reliability therefore de-
ponds solely on the character and repu-
tation as to probity of those preparing
and putting them up. 1t is therefore
of paramount importance that the
public satisfy themselves that the
homeopathic medicines they buy are
obtained from a house of recognized
standing and reliability Boericke &
Tafel's Homeopathic Pharmacy is es-
tablished since 1885. Send for their
descriptive price current of family and

A long Farewell
Philadelphia Times.

Within few feet of the catafalque
Mrs. Garfield paused and bowed her
head as if in PRAYER The children and
others advanced to the casket. The
face which,. owing to decomposition,
was hidden from view through the day,
was disclosed for their benefit. But,
oh, how changed! The features, once
so manly and strong, were pinched and
worn. The face was terribly discolor
ed, and none but the eyes of love could
discover in its lineaments aught that
looked familiar. Harry, who was the
first to approach, gazed for mo-
ment at the inanimate form, then bend
ing forward he gravely imprinted kiss
on the wrinkled brow; then placing his
kerchief to his face walked sadly away.
Miss Mollie displayed greater emotion.
Throwing one arm lovingly over the
casket. as if to embrace it, she exclaim-
ed: ooh, papa. papa" She then kiss
ed the face repeatedly, her graceful
form trembling with grief, until gently
removed by Mrs. Rockwell. After the
others had paid their last tribute of re-
spect, they all withdrew and Mrs. Gar
field was alone with the dead. What
thoughts must have filled her mind as
she stood beside that bier. Doubtless
she recalled his early struggles to attain
an education, while battling manfully
to obtain the necessaries of life, their
youthful marriage and happy home
life, the birth of their childred, his hon.
ored career as a soldier and statesman,
and this-this was the end of all his
greatness. At the expiration of twenty
minutes she joined her friends in the
corridor. Her veil was again lowered,
her step hesitating and slow. In her
hand she bore some of the flowers that
adorned the bier. She entered the car
riage and was hastily driven away:
Those eyes that beheld her to-day will
never see her again, for Lucretia Gar
field has paid her last visit to Washing
ton city. Its very presence is hateful
to her by reason of the sad tragedy that
has robbed her of husband devoted
and true and the nation of one of the
grandest figures in the history of our
day.

MeriieN Commentator

We are pleased to note quite reat little
compliment in an eastern magazine of some
note paid to scme of our Dallas boys and
girls.
Two prizes had been offered, one for the
best essay on the house of Stewart. aud one
for the best on the events of 1920. There
were competitors among children from all
parts of the world, not excepting China; and
while our Dallas aspirants we're not the
lucky ones in carrying off the highest honors,
they were highly complimented above all
others. After giving honorable mention of
Waite Bowser, jake MenZer, Henry Mems
zor, Joseph Bein and Sam Hymsn, tho mag.
szine went on to say that "the papers most
noticeable for originality, vigorous thought
and much literary merit were those sent by
certain school in Dallas, Texas" 1t is to
be observed that in both instances the par.
ties taking the prize were older than our
children who sent papers from this place,
hence we can safely hope that our schools
are NO! so very far behind those of so much
older settled places than our.
