HIS YOUNG LADY PUPIL.
Heroic Treatment When a Big Girl Re-
rnsed To Learn Her Lesson.


"A Maine boy, who is now a professor
IN one of our New England colleges,
used to teach town schools while fitting
himself for his university course, says
the Lewiston Journal. Seated opposite
to him on a railway train a while ago he
related to me some of his early expert
ence in teaching the youthful idea. One
strapping great girl, woman grown,
caused him considerable trouble because
OF her indifference to the beauties of edu-
cation in general and ''gogerfry'' in par
ticuIar, for which neglect he caused her
TO put in considerable time after school
in making up.
1t reached the teachers ears one day
that the maid had declared TO an admir-
ing group that she wouldn't have her les
son on that afternoon, and that if the
teacher kept her after school he would
have the privilege of sitting up one night
with her at any rate before she would
make the lesson up. This idea caused
much excitement among the pupils, who
are usually ready to enjoy teacher dis
Comhture.
According to programme, the young
lady's lesson that afternoon was COM
plete failure, and she was told to take it
up after school. When the session ended
the other pupils fingered about with an
air of expectancy to see the outcome of
matters.
The teacher politely showed them out
of the room, however, and then went in
and shut the door. There sat the damsel
with her arms defiantly folded and the
book closed on the desk before her. The
pedagogue cordially invited her to open
the book and begin operations, but this
had no effect whatever.
''All right" said he, taking out his
watch. "pll give you just thirty minutes
to getthat lesson, and if it is not ready at
the end of that time I'll take you across
my knee and give you one of the most
comprehensive, unabridged and able
bodied spankings that have ever oc-
Cured since julius Cesar was an in
fant'
Then he took chair with his back to
the enemy. Surprise, modification, tears
and sobs ensued, but at the end of the
half hour the lesson had been learned
two lessons, probably.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality. and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
20, so, 120, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the p-n-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is 20 have five years III which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in-
terest at the rate OF 2 per cent. per annuDa,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sllred that this IS an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted 70: frUit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ 10
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove 10
home-seekcrs that this is an opportunity Tor
the purchase Of good agricultural land at SEQ
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers a result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and it's devotion
to dilgent husbandry

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad-
vantage to the utgrower of being in early locality
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardst OF Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
OF this rich land when the are in bearing
will yield handsome and assured income
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-
siding in the valley whose duty it to show the various

situated the lower end of the valley and SI25 900
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine four-story brick hotel two large brick
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the Streets
besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences
The town has a postoflce, school house and weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph

Rumsey This latter place, situated the head of the
valley, is the present terminus OF the railroad The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters as we'll as 1and-seekers.
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val
ley may be thus concisely summed up:
soil of great fertility, yielding bountifuy of every
crop.
A soil and climate which will rpen all kinds of fruit
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else the State
climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raiSiS and
drying of fruit without the aid Of artificial evaporaors

IT DESERVES Your, SUPPORT
Every year every local paper gives
from 100 TO 5000 free lines for
sole benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other agen-
cy can or will do this. The local
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
other ten men, and in all fairness,
man with man, he ought to be sup
ported, not because you may hap
pen to like him or admire his
writing, but because a local paper
is the best investment community
can make.
1t may not be brilliant or crowded
with great thoughts, but financially
it is more of a benefit to a commu-
nifty than the preacher or teacher.
Understand us now; we do not
mean morally or intellectually, but
financially, and yet on the moral
question you will find the majority
of the local papers are on the right
side of the question. To-day the
editors of local papers do the most
work for the least money of any
men on earth. Subscribe for your

conclusion with daring grace all
her own, and shouting out her chal-
lenge to her enemy, waved it
around her head, and then SPRING
ing forward as Hartwick drew his
foil, clashed steel to steel.
Their fencing was admirable.
They were splendidly matched.
Hartwick's six feet hardly lifted
him above his opponent standing
in her high French heels and
plumed hat. Hartwick had tossed
his hat aside, and standing there
with that bright, defiant look on his
face, 1 thought, I had never seen
him look so noble.
1t was soon over; she disarmed
him, and holding both swords erect
cried aEnoughr' with that saucy
bravado which always made the gall
lery gods shout with delight.
When she said it she tossed her
arms aside, and advanced to shake
her rivals hand with that consist
ency which is the charm of light
comedy. Hartwick's s hand was out
stretched, but hesitating moment
she coolly Invested herself of her
long kid gauntlets. threw them to
the rear of the stage, and wheeling
in an instant cried out again fierceIy,
"Enoughl" and turning deliberately
fired two shots at Hartwick from
the weapon she held in her hand,
then took half n dozen steps back
ward, and fell just as she was lost to
the sight of the audience.
1t was all over so quickly that
half the people did not realize what
had happened. The curtain dropp-
cd, and i held Florina's fainting
form in my arms. A hasty investi-
CATION proved that Hartwick was
not seriously hurt; he was taken TO
his rooms at once, and the matter
hushed up as far as possible.
When Florina recovered from her
long illness, she, was a changed
woman. Long before that Hart
wick had left the country. She
never mentioned his name, but it
was evident, despite her strange
conduct, that she loved the man.
Years after, when the brilliant
girl had become II diginiiied woman,
with not a thought beyond her pro-
fession. the story came out. She
was n Corsican, and had sworn an
oath OF Vengeance on her brothers
murderer. Hartwick, despite
his infatuation for the girl,
had always suspected her motive;
the strangest part was his conni-
vance ut it.
No one doubted how she regarded
him. Duty in her case was misrep-
resented; her life's training was at
fault, and she paid the penalty
