Queer California Wells.
From the Riverside Press.

From the Riverside Press.
At Oceanside an artesian well was
sunk to a depth ofabout 400 feet. No
rise OF water was found, and the water
in the we'll now is said to be brackish.
At Frazier, a little further south, the
we'll went down all right, and a raise
of water was struck at about 300feet.
At about 400fcet a stratum of cement
was encountered, which was fourteen
feet thick. When the toolsgot through
this stratum they struck q hollow or
cay and dropped quite q distance,
and the waters of the well rushed
down into this cavern. The bottom
of the we'll was plugged up, and the
supply of water now is mineral, and
is being used to cure the ills that af-
flict the human family.
At Del Mar, still further south, j. S.
Taylor dug a surface well on the edge
of the bluff, so near the edge that there
was barely room for a man to stand
between the well and the jumping-off
place, and from this position he could
Jump down upon the beac A below, a
distance of fifty feet. and yet the well
was only eight feet deep and contain
ed a good supply of water in the soft
sandstone. Last winter the bluff cav
ed off, taking with it the side and bot
tom of the we'll, and the other side OF
the well is still visible in the side OF
the bluff. Another well, somed dist ance
back, furnishes good water.
At Coravada Beach, at San Diego,
a we'll has been put down 440 feet, all
the way through sand and quicksand,
and it now has in it 400 feet OF salt
water.

UNDER : BONNET.

Under her bonnet are bright blue eyes
And silken hair OF the goldenest gold,
Red lips as fair as strawberries,
And dimpled checks OF faultless mold
Under her bonnet a soft voice eroons
The song of love that thrills the heart;
I hear you, Alice, till the tender tunes
Sweet music Of my life becomes a part.
Under her bonnet the forhead fair,
Speaks OF a mind that is all at peace,
And crowns a youth as free from care
AS a bird that sports in the trees.
Under her bonnet a rosy cheek
Welcomes the touch oitwo fragrant eurIsi
Oh. pretty maiden, so dear and meek,
Oh, one OF a thousand country girls.
Under the bonnet ! look and lean,
Bewildered, now hoping, now hall afraid;
For who can tell what q girl can mean,
Orread the thoughts oithe simplest maid!
Under her bonnet I cast my hope,
Thither / strain my eager ewes:
and now l triumph and nOw ! grops
In the dark as | think OF the prize.
Under her bonnet I pray and plead
And place my lips, for what do you guess.
I clasp her hands, she is mine, indeed,
For under her bonnet she whispers Yes.

Who Wants War, and Why?

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Who wants war?
Not the honest, Woodworking citi-
zen.
Not the man OF a family.
Not any mar who loves his home.
Not any man who loves his wife.
Not any man whose mother is the
world to him.
Not any man who sees his future
happiness in his intended bride.
Who wants war?
Not any pure, honest, loving WON
an.
Not any mother, wife, sister or sweet
heart.
Oh, no! Woman's happiness depends
on peace.
Who wants war?
Not any man who has ever been
through a war and faced all it's perils
and horrors.
No matter how brave he was, he has
had his fill. The Drawer he was, the
willing he is now to enjoy the
beauties of peace.

Who wants war?
Men who havelost their regulations.
Men who are anxious to make rep

Men who have no homes, and no re.

Men who have no families, or if they
have do not provide for them, or even

Adventures and thieves.
Gamblers and blacklegs.
Bullies and towards; all these want

And why?
Because they well know that if war

These words went from mouth to

bent Owe to write his name, the Joy
Of the awakened people broke all

Cheer followed cheer; the men tossed
up their hats, the women waved their
handkerchiefs. Then all seemed to be
pressing forward to the stand. Some
shook Bob's hand, others Rugged him,
while dozens and scores eagerly put
their names to the temperance pledge.
For over a halfhour, the Joining went
on, till, it is claimed, every person
present was enrolled.
When Bob and his wife got home
from the meeting that night, and she
had turned up the low-burning lamp
on the sitting-room table, she looked
into his face with shining eyes, and
said
Tonight, dear husband, your wife

is too valuable a fighter to be perched on

WHY xiub.l, I. i, t,oca youu

From the amount of grain being hauled
to market it would seem that farmers
have fared better this year Ihan they
fully realized. Thousands of bushels of
the various products from BuiTalo's un-
surpassed soil have been curted to Kim
ball this fall.-Gann Va!+y Sentinel.
The above illustrates in measure one
Of the secrets-if it may be called such
of Ki,nball's wonderful success as a bus
mess town. She draws trade for miles
around, reaching to distance of forty
miles or more north and an equal dis
tance south. 1t is safe to say that there
are not half dozen towns in the terri
tory that enjoy the same amount of pop
ulous country contributory. Herein lies
the secret OF her prosperity in the face
of depression in business from the At
lantic to the Pacific; continued success
largely maintained by set of the most
widc-a-wakc, liberal and fair-dealing
business men to be found in any to wn in
Dakota.
