the busy rush of feet from all direc-

the front in becoming style.

We Are Not a Military People.

We Americans are not a military peo-
pie. In view of our having carved our
way into the wilderness with sword as
well as with ak, of our having won our
independence by arms of our having
come with abundant credit out of all
our wars, of having carried through one
of the most gigantic struggles of modern
days, in which were fought battles al
most unequaled in tenacity, this may
appear to be an unwarranted statement.
But it is true. It requires more than
courage, more than ability to raise, to
equip, to ration, to move and to COM
mand armies to make military people.
The most splendid conduct in war for
an all absorbing cause does not suffice.
Having many of the essential qualities,
we yet fall short of what the Romans
were, the Germans are. Some sections
of the country approach nearer to the
military standard; but taken as whole
our lack of interest in army and navy,
our thoroughly unbusinesslike way of
handling our national problems of attack
and defense, stamp us as the least mill
tary in our instincts of all the great peo-
Piles of the earth.-Colonel T. A. Dodge

peach begins to get some size il
well, by it's weight cause the limb to
droop over, the leaves thus protecting
1t from the sun. But you must be care
iul that the fruit is not too much for
your tree. Thin it all you dare and then
call In you friend and get him to thin it,
TOO. When your fine specimens are
about to take on some little color, pro-
cure some fine illusion from the dry
goods store and make net to hold the
peaches and suspend them in it, and tie
them up in such way that part of the
weight of the fruit is takeu off the stem
to which it is attached to the tree only
part OF the weight OF the peach must be
relieved by this suspending net. If
there is too much foliage above the
peaches, then just before ripening pinch
of few leaves 30 the sun can penetrate
to the fruit for short time dur
ing the day. If you will follow these
instructions you can 60 through life

NOTES.
There is money to be made in this
valley by growing apples, says the
Beaumont Sentinel. The supply of
first-quality apples is scanty in the
markets OF this state. And yet there is
always good demand for really choice
fruit of this description. In California
most varieties of apples succeed we'll in
the mountain districts, at elevations of
1000 feet or more above the sea. Certain
varieties, such as the Spitzenberg and
Newtown pippin, are grown to perfec-
tion in such localities. There are also
districts that produce as fine Craven
stems as are to be found anywhere on
the Atlantic coast. In planting apple
orchards in any part OF the United
States it is necessary to exercise care
and judgment in the selection of
varieties, each locality having it's
special adaptations. But for those
who make the right selections
and who plant in proper situations,
near railroad, there is assurance OF
handsome profit from apple culture in
Southern California. San Gorgonio
valley seems to be admirably adapted
fruit.

has just stored in the warehouses OF the
Southern Mill and Warehouse company
70 ,659 sacks OF lima beans, grown on
1900 acres of land. These beans weigh
2,011 ,270 pounds or over 1000 tons. In
bushels they would represent about 3d.
900 bushels. Besides this Mr.. Thomp-
son has retained 1900 sacks or thirty
five tons for seed next year. 1t would
require 100 cars, of ten tons capacity
each, to carry this years crop. AS
trains are usually made up, it would re-
quire eight solid trains to transport the
beans east.
Last Saturday Ellwood Cooper, of
Santa Barbara, shipped to Chicago
carload of persimmons, and he will
have in all about five or six carloads.
This fruit is q great novelty there, and

EDITORS HERALD: Don't you think
the newspaper that guessed Mr.. Egan
was being kept in Chile for an elec-
pioneering purpose was about right?
Does any sane man suppose that Mr..
Egan, who is unfriendly to the junta. is
better qualified to represent the inter-
ests of Americans than a man who is ac-
ceptable to them?
Does any one suppose that even the
powerful British government would
keep representative at the capital of a
foreign power unless he were acceptable
to them?
Witness the cases of Sir Lionel Sack

There is no question of national honor
at stake. Mr.. Egan lacks the first quail

Attacked BY the salvation Army.


EDITORS HERALD: This home is threat
ened with new danger in the form of
an invasion by the salvation army. The
advance guard, composed of an elderly
lady of portly dimensions, two rather
attractive girls, said to be two daughters,
and another man and woman with a
somewhat woebegone cast of counten-
ance, made their appearance yesterday.
This movement" wasin,the nature of
reconnaissance and without EARNS -
the next" will probably be made in
"force," with all the equipments of hal
lalujah warfare, the bass drum, tam
BORNE, cymbals, hewgag, dumbuzzy and
all. They devoted their attention prin-
cipally to the men in the hospital.
What with bad water, disease, O
brass band, and other annoyances
to contend with, the poor occu-
pants of the hospital have hard enough
row to hoe as it is, and now comes this
new indiction to render their lot still
worse.
The government furnishes two kinds
of religion, gratis, to the home, so that
any who may be so disposed can get all
they want in this line; besides, the men
domiciled here are pretty well along in
years of maturity and have made up
their minds long ago on the mystical
subject of the hereafter.
