Directory-CautiOn.

Frequent complaints are heard about
the disreputable methods of some So
called directory agents. Cases are cited
where orders have been tampered with
and amounts raised after the order
had been taken. Frequently cash in ad-
vance has been demanded. No reputable
firm will resort to such methods. 1t is
time to give warning to the public to see
that you are ordering from responsible,
reliable house like that OF R. L. Polk &
Co. They published the only California
State directory ever issued in 1888, and
have now in preparation their next book
for 1890. they employ only carefully
trained agents, and, having abundan,
means and ample experience, produce O
work that is credit to the State and one
of great value to business men.

She's always dreamin', drcamin' o. the life

The roses in the garden, the yellow sun1ow-

The violets, but she herself the sweetest

The sunfiowers %follerln' the sun, no matter

The brown bees sippin' honey an buzzin'

The roses climbin' up to her an smilin' in

An now she can't forget it. When l tell her,

There's nuthin' in the city life she was uster

Where preachin' cum but once o month an,

An folks they tole the time o. day by lookin'
az the sun.
An larks got up at peep o. dawn and made
the medders ring;
i tell YOU folks, when one's brought up to ies'
that kind o. things,
It's hard TO get away from it, old feelings
bound to rise,

farm and. Instead of dc goting so much
OF my time to my bechives and TO the
care of my fruit trees, | labored hard
like al ordinary farm hand at tilling
the soil. One afternoon while engaged
in blowing In n new field | had freed
from stones and stumps, I happened to
look up mt the sky wondering what the
weather would be on the morrow. when
l observed four birds dying In a straight
line towards me. 1nstipctively | knew
they were my four pigeons which
neither time nor distance, il seemed
could ALLEVIATE from me. A moment
later they were perched on NV
shoulder, lndulging in their wonted
cooings and manifesting a redun-
dant Joy in agair being with their old
master.
This time their return affected me to
tears, and eXultantly | called to John
who was in n neighboring field, to con.
tinue my labor at the pillow, and went
prancing homeward with my pigeons
fondly clinging about me. Upon reach
ing the h use Priscilla handed me a
letter, which had been left by the post
man during the day. opened the let
ter which was from Jack, and read as
follows:

say. The operation was performed last

yours, JACK.
In the perusal OF this message 7 did
not lose my patience: on the contrary,
| recklessly determined to double my
sin and again sell the pigeons-this
time in the large city of Pittsburg. fifty
miles away. The next morni ing | started
on the Truckton bound stage, my pets
securely confined in a bundle as before.
[ had but nm hour to wait at rruckton
before taking a train for Pittsburg. |
did my waiting in Il remote corner Of
the gentlcmen's room in the station.
behind a newspaper. | reached Pitts
burg too late in the day to transact any
business, but before going to bed |
learned the name of the largest bird
dealer in the city from the hotel clerk.
The ext morning 1 visited the bird
shop aud came away with $l30, which /
mailed to Jack, in care of the New
York hospital.
Little remains for me to add. I re-
turned home, my conscience hardened
by the repetition Of a dishonest act, and
resolved that so long as my pigeons re-
NAMED faithful to me, and my family
continued unfortunate, [ would pursue
the same policy. My pigeons did re-
main faithful, for in less than a week
after | disposed of them in Pittsburg
they returned to ne. But. happily, my
family did not have occasion to appeal
again to me for funds, aud so | was,
perhaps, spared u career of unique
knavery.
Jack came out of the hospital with
his eyesight wonderfully improved, if
not wholly restored. and within six
months sent me his check for the
amount l had advanced him. He is
working his way up in the law, and I
am certain he will succeed. AS for
