Too much stress cannot be laid upon fthe great aGN
vantage to the frugrower of being in early locaty4
In most cases it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley
may assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres of this rich land when the are in bearing,
will yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re4
siding in the valley whose duty to show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsites have been laid out in different points
IN the valley, viz Esparto, Cadenasso, Gunda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason!

The enterprising and fourishing town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley, and SEo5 900

besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences
The town has postofice, school-house and weekly
paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph

The Century for January.

The first iHstalment of the selections
from Talleyrand's long-expected Mem
Oirs is the most striking feature of the
of the January CENTURY. A sketch of
Telleyrand by Minister Whitelaw Reid
prefaces this instalment. The opening
pages tell of Talleyrand's neglected
childhood, and his entry into Partisan
society. They also give his views of
La Fayette, and the effect of the Amer
lcan on the French Revolution; some
account of the beginnings of the latter;
very contemptuous opinion of the
Duke of Orleans; sketch of the auth
or's stay in England and the United
States, and highly interesting CONVEX
sation between himself and Alexander
Hamilton on Free Trade and Protec-
ton.
Under the title "A Romance of Nor
gan's Rough Riders. a contribution is
made TO the group of articles on the ex
periences of prisoners of war. In the
first of three chapters, General Basil w
Duke who was Morgan's right-hand
brigadier. describes General John H.
Morgans famous raid into Indiana and
Ohio; General o. r. Wilcox contributes
chapter on the capture of large part
of the command; and Captain Thomas
III. Hines. who planned the escape. re-
lates how Morgan and few of his Off
GERS tunneled out of the Ohio State PEN
itentiary, and, alter thrilling adven-
lures, reached the Confederate lines.
The opening article of the number is
G. w. Coleman's description of the fine
old mansions along the Lower James,
with number of picturesque iIlustra-
tons by Harry Feun. Octave Thanet
tells true. timely, and thrilling story
of IAN Irish Gentlewoman in the Fam
inc Time" of 1918. Mr.. Rockhill, the
Tibetan traveller, describes the Mongols
of the Azme Lake. MIR. Krehbiel. the
musical critic of the New Yor "Trib-
uDe" has an article with music) on
'Chinese Music" Colonel Carter of
Cartersville,' by Hopkinson Smith. and

ces of the Franco-Prussian War and the

Famous Yet Unknown.
WIVES WHO ARE HIDDEN BY THEIR Hus.
BANDS FAME, YET WHO ARE WONDER
Full WOMEN.

The wife of famous man will Outlines
be completely hidden by the dazzle of
her husbands fame, and it is astonish-
ing how little is known of those women
whose husbands names are household
words throughout the country. While
the newspapers TEEN with the name of
Thomas A. Edison, nothing is compare
lively known or heard of Mrs. Edison.
Every newspaper reader knows the
name of Chauncey M. Derew, but of
Mrs. Depew only the most casual refer
ence is made. Even in England, no
one ever hears of Lady Tennyson, or of
Mrs. Gladstone. And the same is true
of the wives of such men as p. T. Bar
mum, Will Carleton, John Wanamaker,
Sturgeon, w. ID. Howells, DIR. Talmsge
MARX Twain" and James &. Blaine.
Often these very wives have been the
makers of their husbands careers.
Their portraits are even less known than
their lives. In a splendid series to be
called Unknown Wives of Well-known
Men," The Ladies Home Journal, of
Philadelphia, will, during next year,
sketch all these women and others, pre-
senting their portraits, in many cases,
for the first time to the public

John Henry kept the baby in a state of
comparative quiet for ten minutes; and
the word comparative" is used ad-
visedly.
BY this time Mrs. John Henry Peddi-
cord was dressed.
''Tll take the baby now and dress
her." she said. I'm sure she hasn't
bothered you much. love. SEES dust as
dood as dold, Sc is mommer's little tod

The second half Of Mrs. John Henry's
remarks were addressed to the baby, not
to John Henry.
"Mommer" took tina baby, and John
Henry snuggled into his pillow for an.
other snooze. He had scarcely got to
sleep when he was awakened by the
wife Of his bosom:
"Tll go and bring UP your breakfast,
love, if you'll just mind the baby while

breakfast bell now Baby will be good,
I'm sure. I'll set her on the bed and
you can play with her.

people would go to bed aud stay there
a whole day in every month, and keep
quiet, they would live to good old age"

John Henry Peddicord, encouragingly.
''You have been complaining of SCI
