ARCADIA IN A CANYON.
A Queer Colony of Vegetarians-Pros
porous Woman Members Of 1t.

From the San Diego (Cal.) Sun.
The route from San Diego to the desert
slope on the eastern side Of the county's noun
tain ranges, which was partially described in
Wednesdays Sun, stopped midway at Ballena,
1850 feet above the sea. From this point the
road ascends through narrow canyon shaded
with ancient oaks which soon opens out into
great valley of surprising beauty. Turning
south a side road leading to San Vicente runs
down long canyon where some interesting
people, devotees of the vegetarian cult, have
made their homes. They, too, wandered down
from Cotton, distance of 100 miles or more,
nearly three years ago.
The party comprised Mr.. LIE Beuf his wife,
and their ward, Miss Hadley, all from ST. Louis,
Mo. Mr.. LIE Beuf pushed large wheelbarrow
before him, filed with their possessions, and
the women-notable for their short hair and
bloomer dress-trod cheerfully along beside
him. They were seeking location for home
on government land, and they chose it in the
widest part of the canyon. Mrs. LIE Beuf's
health had broken down in kindergarten work
at st. Louis, and for this reason they came to
the coast. The invalid had found the weight
Of ordinary clothing intolerable, and both of
the women had therefore adopted the bloomer
costume, with high shoes of gray cloth button
ing up the leg, instead of the usual trousers

and in short time had stretched circular
canvas over the saplings for their dwelling,
making it resemble big beehive. Linseed
oil was rubbed on the cloth to make it water
proof. Furniture was constructed Of the nat
ural woods with their bark and moses. gar
den was planted and grain sowed.
Then Miss Hadley found a pocket in the
rocks q little higher up the canyon, which
pleased her, and she filed presumption claim
to eighty acres A canvas dome also rose on
her clearing, which is now a marvel Of produc-
tiveness. Miss Cook, another vegetarian, came
out from Missouri to assist her. These indus
trious young women now have one and one
half acres in grain, with not q weed on the en-
tire place. They make their own -four They
have sweet peas, onions, lettuce, celery, etc.,
with blackberry bushes and various other small
fruits. They chiselled ten steps in the granite
rocks leading down to q spring which breaks
through assure in the rocks. A cellar built
In the bank contains some 200 bottles Of q Pc
culiar grape cordial, which is their only drink.
1t is boiled down without being sweetened, and
is considered sort Of grape-cure.
These resourceful people manufacture their
own garments, including shoes LIE Beufs
garments are somewhat like q bathing suit.
Several weeks ago a man named Weldenmil-
Ter, also vegetarian, appeared in the canyon,
and week before last he brought Miss Hadley
down to San Diego in the stage and there they
were married. Miss Cook continues to reside
with them. The two men work on the ranches
thereabouts as opportunity offers, while the
women devote their leisure to books and cul-
tivation of the gardens.

Perhaps q vision sweetly fair,
Perhaps q dream, perhaps fact
Perhaps thought, perhaps an act,
Perhaps fruit We yearn TO eat

IL throws glamour over ALL
And deafens ears to reasons call
IL bends Us 10 tyrannic rule.
And serves alike the sage and fool;
IL weaves a net all hearts about,
And laughs when they cannot get out
It's grandly brilliant to the young.
IL CLEANS in eyes, IL drops from tongue.
Its volume may not be 50 much,
But yet be felt in gentIest touch.
IL thrills you as electric shock,
IL melts the ice, IL rends the rock.
IL throws DER all a mystic spell.
Then what Is lowell cannot tell

Would tell you: love Is all Of Hfev'

And then when IL is grandly fair,
Just lock Jour heart and keep it there,

The Age at Which to Wed.

NJ. Korosi, Of the Hungarian academy of
sciences, has collected about $4,000 data, and
has come to the following conclusion: Mothers
under twenty years of age and fathers under
twenty-four have children more weakly than
parents Of ripper age. Their children are more
subject to pulmonary diseases. The healthiest
children are those whose fathers are from
twenty-f to forty years of age and whose
mothers are from twenty to thirty years old.
NJ. Korosi says and most medical men indorse
this view that the best marriages are those in
which the husband il senior to the wife.

A Business Melody.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
For when he marked his prices down
He then did advertise.

lnere was man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
For when he marked his prices down
He then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main
He marked still lower every price
And advertised again.
-NeU York Journal.
And when he advertised again
His rivals loudly swore,
To see folks rush with might and main
To patronize his store.
And while they sat in solitude,
And saw him custom win
That man behind his counter stood
And raked the shekels in.
-Charlestoton News.
And when he raked the shekels in,
And saw his fortune rising,
He took goodly lot of tin
And kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink,
And demonstrate full plain
The more one pays for printers ink
The greater Is his gain.

Robert Elsmere,'
a stock Rai,1ng Experiment

Weekly Wisconsin,: Major Benson,
of Stony Mountain, Northwest terri
tory, has sold herd of eIghty-three
buffalo to G. j. Jones, of Garden City,
Kansas. The major began the buffalo
raising business with young bull and
four heifers that came into bis posses
sion in 1877. Since that time five of his
herd have been killed and nine either
given away or sold. The fact that in
eleven years the increase of the herd
was ninety-two buffalo is proof that
animal can be dome5ticated.
The fact that the Kansas purchaser
intends to cross breed the bison will ex-
cite interest among cattle men, and the
experiment will be closely watched by
stock raisers throughout the west.
Buffalo meat commands fifty cents a
pound in Chicago fabulous price in
comparison with the present low rate
per pound for beef-and if in addition
to the production OF a more hardy breed
of cattle, the crossing of hnffa,o

A Boom Not Wanted.

1t will be remembered that the INDEX,
voicing the sentiments of this city, said
three and four years ago that boom
was not what was needed here. We
preferred a steady, healthy growth.
The experience of nearly every town in
Kansas that had boom is about the
same. Fictitious prices attached to
property and much of it reverted to the
original owners after partial payments
had been made. There was so much
money tied up in these wild specula
tions, that the spectators had no
money left to make Improvements with;
or, If they did build, it was on borrowed
capital, and the mortgages are just
about now being foreclosed. But this
was not the worst of it: There were
many prosperous farmers who mort
gagged every thing they had to get mon
ey to speculate in one or more of the
'sbooming" towns OF the west. These
amateur spectators are now generally
broke with no farm and with only high
taxed and mortgaged town lots as their
possessions. Medicine Lodge pursued
a conservative course and the conse-
quence is that to day its citizens gener-
ally own their real estate, and anyone
desiring it, can buy lots at reasonable
figures. The city is substantially built
up with brick blocks and the town has
not been operdone. Ynere are no va
cant residence in the CITY and if the
coming season is prosperous one, our
city will take on new growth, We do
not want BOOM" but we want. ana
expect, solid prosperity.

Mayor Esmond returned from a
weeks visit to Kansas City. and the
news he brought our people is decidedly
the most encouraging of any that they
have received lately. While there, Col.
Esmond found a gentleman who repre-
sents unlimited English capital, anx-
ious to be placed in paying industry
in the west. This gentleman had been
studying the sorghum question and was
almost ready to cable his clients that
there was money in it. When Col. Es-
mond pictured to him our desirable To-
cation as to climate, our water tacili-
ties, our superior soil for sorghum
growing and told him of the steps our
people had already taken toward organ
izing sugar company, the representa-
tive of foreign capital at once expressed
the belief that his clients would invest
at least $1,000 in a plant at Medicine
Lodge. The only conditions that would
be asked were that ten acres of ground
and 10000 tons of cane be donated and
that the factory and grounds be ex-
empted. from taxation for two years.
The mayor expressed the belief that
these conditions would be complied
with and accordingly the English rep
resentative cabled to his people last
week and followed the cablegram with
letter giving full particulars. The
Kansas City representative will be here
in the course of few days, about the
18th perhaps.
