A DRUNKEN cow.
And it Happened in Prohibition Pas
adena

And it Happened in Prohibition Pas
adena.
In spite OF Pasadena's prohibition pol
icy, poor COW got drunk there few
days ago. The beast got dead drunk.
and yet the claim is made that Pasa-
dena has no saloons.
The story is told in the last number
OF LIE Progress, the French paper of this
city, as follows:
"Some days ago one OF our country
men who lives at Pasadena was aston
ished to see one of his best cows lying
apparently dying in front of the barn.
The animal lay there inert, with open
eyes, .oblivious of everything. The man
called veterinary surgeon, who could
not diagnose the case. and q butcher
was sent for to bleed the animal. He
was some time in arriving, and when he
did come the cow was found eating at
haystack, but with legs little uncer-
tain. An investigation followed, and it
was found that the COW had eaten
copiously OF the refuse at neighboring
winery. This stuff, composed of grape
skins and stems, had fermented and
produced state Of intoxication.

THE CITRUS FAIR.
The Ladies Asked to Aid in the
Decorations.

Commencing with this morning the
greatest activity will prevail at the
pavilion in preparing for the citrus fair.
The decorators will begin work at 8
O'Clock, and will need 10000 feet of
cypress rope, besides good many other
designs. Superintendent Hanchette has
ordered car load of holly from New
hall, which will be here in day or two,
but he is particularly anxious that the
ladies should commence work in earnest
this morning in making the decorations.
At least one hundred of them can be
put to work, and as the g. A. r. relief
corps have promised their aid, it is
likely that they will be on hand this
morning Oranges will commence to

to success in everything. Farmers of the same locality must, in the nature of things, have many questions of interest in common with reference to their va rious agricultural pursuits. It will pay to talk things over. The life of the in- telligent and cnterprising farmer is many from which to look at the same subject. The farmer, like all other men in busi- ness, needs the stimulus of new ideas and the results of the experience of others. The farmers who are wise will put their heads together some of these long even ings.- TO. o. Wright.

NeWtown's Charms,

NeWtown, so pleasant, indeed, thai
 during the Summer months it's homes
 are well filled, its roadways throngeG
 and it's broad acres well rambled over
 by numberless guests from the cities
 who get good air, good living, rest and
 recreation, and health and strength, at
 very reasonable rates, so far as dollars
 and cents are concerned. The quaint old
 village of Newtown is so quaint,so quiet,
 so pleasantly and commandingly situat-
 ed, as to carry us captive at will, as it
 has scores of other lookers-on upon it's
 fascinating features of Nature.
 The broad and Deatly kept streets and
 interesting turned-down hide-and-seck
 by-ways, the trim and snug residences
 and the commanding views in all direc-
 tions, make the village thoroughfares
 the most attractive and delightful of their kind in the ordinary reach of Sum- mer resting-places. Pleasant walks are
 near at hand and charming drives reach out both far and near, toward every point of the compass. Up hill and down dell, lover hills and far away" good roads and fine scenery abound on every hand. Fountain lake nestles down quietly and lovingly just beyond the confines of the westerly village bounda- ny; and Danbury, with it's hats for all the world and it's industrious matters who make them, lies in full and fair view from the highest point of the di- hot lake, seemingly sleeping itself to death which it isn't-on a sloping hillside, ten miles to the westward. Beautiful farms and the very thriftiest kind of pleasant ly located, attractive looking farm hous- es are scattered broadcast over all the landscape, both far away and near at hand.

THE GALLO SPIRIT or YOUTH
@At all costs be young. so Jules Ferry
told an association Of students in Paris
at their annual gathering two weeks
ago The Gallo spirit, " he said. 'fs
made up above ali Of clearness, candot
and the Joy OF living. To keep French
you must above all keep young.
To be anything that is noble, useful or
good one should above all things keep
young. One cannot be wise, nor vir.
tuous, nor happy, without keeping
young, which is synonymous to keeping
cheerful.
The physicians skilled in the practice
Of their marvellous art make as careful
a diagnosis of the mental as of the
physical conditions Of their patients The
chance for recovery Of man with an
even temper and an equable mind are
infinitely greater than that OF fretful,
i'll tempered man. or course, mans
own determination has great influence 10
preserving his health and hasten
ing his recovery But cheerful.
sweet-tempered person Is rarely
sick because be is always young in that
buoyancy Of exuberent spirits which r..
sists disease, oyercomss disorders and
defers sometimes almost defies death
Besides this selfish view. it is worth
one while to be young at all costs for
the exquisite pleasure he gives others.
One cheerful man added TO circle OF
duh and uncongenial people will make an
Immediate Transformation. Men who
apparently could not be diverted from
their own depressing dullness greet such
an arrival with smile Of confidence, OF
relief, Of thoroughly restored amlablIlty.
even with infectious hilarity.
Cheerfulness and youth are reaexive
they act and react till a whole audience
or an entire family, as the case may be,
await the appearance Of one man for the
fun to begin
The French people; witty, bright,
polite, courteous, considerate. cheerful.
happy, even tempered, healthy and wise
seem never to grow old. They bear the
whitening marks Of gently approaching
age so cheerily, so sweetly that their
young Gallic hearts always seem to con
tradict wrinkles and gray hairs.
II is worth all 1t costs them 10 be
young, II indeed 1t can be said to cost
anything, Matthew Arnold said:
The iss youth dreams is one
For daylight, for the cheerful SUM-
For feeling nerves and liv ing breath.
Aouth dreams bliss on this side OF death,
