| occupation was to exist. 1t was not that
! he was ignominiously fired in the sight
of the public; he was used TO that. And
when the offlcious official had wiped his

had been dumped of at F}eest0ae!

has a history. There were three men
| came to California in 1880 with Captain
| Juan b. r. Cooper, brother-in-law of
! General NJ. G. Vallejo. They were
promised a grant of land provided they
would settle on a certain piece encroach-

obliged TO go to Monterey to have papers
made out confirming the title. One re-
manned behind to run the ranch, and his
partner was to attend to the business af-
fairs. One man got his papers all right,
! but the other left out the name of his
partner. When the trusting heart dis
covered this fraud his temper escaped all

| the trickster's hide. Then he procured
saw, and saving their house in two,
moved his half of 1t off the rancho. 1t
still stands, hale and hearty, and does
duty as a dwelling house. 1t has beau

This summering, while it lasts, is
bliss, but when it ends and our sun
burned noses are headed homeward, it
is like being startled rudely from deli
cious dream. This tendency to browse
and build air castles must be overcome
by contact with the stern realities that
each sun brings forth. While some
friend is retailing to you an account Of
his or her rheumatism, of the weather
while you were gone, and OF various
welghty matters, your mind will be
clambering around on stills in the rosy
clouds that enshroud sweet memories of
past days. But, after all, the homeless
wanderer struck chord that finds echo
in every heart, when he gave to the world
| the immortal Home, Sweet Home"
On her return from the coast a little
maiden went with me to church. l
looked with pride at my charge, think
ing with what steadfast attention she was
following the sermon. Just as he said,
IF we would live truly we must walk in
the Spirit" light broke over her sun
Drowned face and creeping closer to me
she whispered stealthily: ''Well say,
now, if the schooner is sold, it won't
come into the bay any more"

To LADYE TANNED.
''In old SOnOma's sunny belt
Where apples green and gripes are felt
There dwellS maiden, fair and sweet
With big brown eyes and bigger feet.
Her sunny locks are black in hue
And checks are tanned and freckled, too.
Those eyes of blue are always brown,
And gray the color of her gown.
Weary of work weary of life,
She seeks a calm in all this strife.
And leaves the city'S din and noise
Even torsakeS the Office boys.
'She buys q bathing suit of blue (?)
Which cost her SiXty-five cents. too,
Ana on the oceans pebbly beach
She wanders forth beyond our reach.
Her gentle smile no more we hear
1is all that's left to memory dear.
We wear the willow for a week,
And other pleasures then we seek.
again we see her winSome face;
The big brown eyes seem out of place;
For browner still are sunburned checks,
And larger still those feet, those feet.''
