III BORN

The s'born nurse is a family institution,
well recognized. Perhaps her talents are
inherited from a long line of ancestral
nurses whose touch was healing, and who
from time immemorial have been the COM
fort of the family doctor. Perhaps sac is
unique in the family history, but however
this may be, she is quiet, she is self-con-
tanned, she has allow voice, and her gentle
manners have also authority withal, for the
born nurse does not permit her heart to run
away with her head. She understands how
to prepare a tempting meal for an invalid's
appetite, for this talented person is a born
cook as well. Her hot drinks are always
hot, not lukewarm, her beef tea sailed, her
bit of chicken Drowned to a turn, and her
buttered toast thin but never burned. This
ideal person never asks her patient what
she can think of that she would like to eat,
neither does she leave dishes or delicacles
of any sort N sight of the patient when the
invalid's meal is over. She is cheerful

out obtrusiveness. She believes in sum
shine and fresh air and the cleanliness
which is so near akin to godliness. She
obeys the doctors orders implicitly, and it
does not occur to her to question his wis
dom in the hearing Of her patient, whatev-
err she may do in the silence of her own
mind, any more thar it does to substitute
some nostrum for his prescription because
it cured Aunt Sally last summer when she
had exactly the same symptoms.
Bat until the doctor comes she is the
fountain head of aid and relief. She knows
that hot water is good for sprains as well
as for collie and toothache. She remembers
the best remedies for stings of insects, she
knows that a fainting woman must be laid
low. and when there are arms or legs OF
fingers to be bandaged her def hands make
the turns and manage the injured member
with the least possible motion, and she can
improvise a splint from an old cigar box OF

The junior class of a southern college
had assembled in a students room to spend
the night in debauch. Amid the crowd
was one who had never reeited a bad lesson
since his naturalization; in his studies ne
was head aud shoulders above his class.
That day he had failed. A shade of the
deepest gloom came over him, and he was
melancholy. But the wine and jest passed
round, while he felt like Lucifer in Eden,
where all vas joy aud gladness around
him. Said a classmate:"Com Bob, quaf
this bumper, aud it will make You feel
bright as the hermit's lamp The temp
ter whispered in his ear, Drink once and
forget the past"
A powerful struggle seemed 20 be going
on in his mind for a moment: but at last he
shook his head, and, retiring from the room,
gave vent to a fiood Of tears. That boy
never drank-not even once. He took the
valedictcry, aud is now president Of the
college.

PLUCKY WOMAN.
Desperate Battle Between a Farmers
Wife and Two Vicious Wildcats.

MANDAN Dak.), January Sth.-On farm ten
miles west of Mandan lives Charles Casperdone
with his family, consisting of wife and two
little boys. On Saturday Mr. Casperdone came
to Mancan to sell some stock and remained here
visiting friends. Sunday at midnight the Cas-
perdone hen roost was visited by wildcats.
When the wife heard the noise she got out of
bed, grasped an ak, and sailed forth in scant
attire. Rushing in at the door of the hennery,
she encountered a wildcat which sprang at her,
catching one of its claws in her left arm, and
larcerating it terribly.
Pushing the. animal away she struck it blow
which rendered it unconscious. Another of the
cats sprang at her, Selling the calf of her right
leg and cutting it severely with its teeth The
poor woman aimed blow at the beast, which
missed it, but the animal became frightened and
ran to the woods
The other cat. which had been crouching in
corner, then sprang upon the plucky house.
wife, getting its teeth in her clothing and tear
ing them almost from her body. She succeeded
in pushing the Infatuated animal from her, and
as 1t sprang at her throat the second time, she
dealt it a blow over the right ear which ended
ats career.
Mrs. Casperdone was so overcome that she fell
in a faint, and was carried into the house by
a neighbor who had been summoned by one OF
the boys. She is still in bed and suffering from
her wounds, but will recover unless blood-poi-
soning sets in.

THOROUGHLY DELIGHTED.
A Dakota Farmer Imagines He at Lat
Has Found Paradise.

A Dakota Farmer Imagines He at Last
Has Found Paradise.
Some three weeks ago there alighted from
the train in this city man by the name of
II. A. Brown. He hailed from Amour in
the southern portion of Dakota He had
heard wonderful stories of California's eli
mate, boundless resources and incompara-
in what he had supposed to be the veriest
fiction. Some six years ago he left the
Genesee valley, in the central part of New
York, and following Horace Greeley advice
he brought up in Southern Dakota. He
has tried farming in that section to his
hearts content. He says that the wheat
raised there is about what we term chicken
feed here; that five bushels TO the acre is an
average crop and ten bushels is big crop.
The mercury in the thermometer tries to
climb out at the top in warm weather and
goes down almost out of sight in the winter
time. He has seen it stand at 1909 in the
shade in the summer time and COO below
zero was considered "only little chilly in
the winter time." The wells on his place
have frequently frozen and one time for
three days all the water he could get was
by melting snow, and his stock came near
perishing. His description of hail-storm
that drove the crops in the fields into the
earth so that nothing remained upon the
surface after the storm passed would make
one shudder and his description of bliz-
zard would almost make the hair of Cali
fornian stand on end. Hundreds of lives
were lost, barns and residences wrecked
and whole bands of live stock DESTROYED.
Since he has been in the State he finds
that half has not been told about Califor-
MIA. She has the requisites for prosperity
and plenty, has all that goes to make life
pleasant end enjoyable and none of the
unpleasant features of the East He has
been inspecting lands in the neighborhood
of Orangevale, in this county, and was free
to confess that he never saw better in his
life. The crops were growing nicely,
orange trees were laden with their golden
fruits, vegetables were green and growing
in the gardens, and the pleasant homes
wherever he went were adorned with ten
der creeping vines, while delicate flowers of
every hue and variety were in bloom. He
had at last found a country which had a
never. ending summer, where the seasons
were so much alike that the same suit of
clothing answered for all purposes through
out the year.
When he came to California he intended
to stay several months. but he has become
so infatuated with this locality that he has
bought farm, and starts East to night to
bring out his family, expecting to become
citizen of Sacramento by the LIST OF
| March. He is quite confident that there
will be large immigration from Southern
Dakota to Northern California during the
present year. A letter from his wife yes
terday stated that all the neighbors were
anxiously awaiting his report, and many
will follow his pyamnle
Hall, Luhrs 81 Co. and a few other public
spirited citizens have made up small

A BOYS BRAVE ACT.
How South Carolina Child Saved His
Fathers Life.

CHARLOTTE On. c., January Sth.-A story of a
boys pluck is received from across the South
Carolina line. Last Saturday dispute about
wages arose between farmer Henry Johnson and
Bill Houston, a negro farm hand. Hot words
followed, the negro becoming abusive. John
son started toward the mouse, and as he turned
his back Houston picked up piece of scant-
ling and dealt him q severe blow ON the head,
knocking him almost senseless. When John
son fell the negro continued to deal him heavy
blows as he lay upon the ground. There was
no one near except Mrs. Johnson and her son
Willie IL years old.
Willie slyly crept into the house where ne
found his fathers shotgun, heavily loaded be-
hind the door. When he came out again the
negro was choking Johnson. Willie took aim
at the fellows head and fired. The negro fell,
but for fear he would renew the attack the lad
pulled the other trigger and Houston was al
most Instantly killed. Johnson is terribly
bruised and may die. The Coroner's jury not
only acquitted the boy but presented him with
an excellent shotgun as a token of heroism.
