aaabted py an ANtrF&4Stfsehts
Have you ever been haunted by an ad.
vertisement?
have asked lots OF people that ques-
ton aud they nearly all tell me that
they have undergone such an experience
Mt one timo or another.
Tho particular lad" that haunts me IL
one containing the picture Of mans
face. A very insipid face il is, too, with
an absolutely perfect black mustache
attached TO il. II has grewsome effect,
too, as there is no neck visibly attached
10 the head, and | havo often wondered
II it would be possible TO cut mans
head off 80 that none Of the neck would
be left on.
This face persists in getting in front
of me and staring at me with those
meek eyes. No matter which end Of an
elevated car go in just as soon as am
comfortably seated in seat / can feel
that face looking at me; and sure
enough there it. always is--above the
windows directly across the car. If
open the advertising pages Of a maya
zine that face viii be the first thing to
meet my eye, On the street am always
seeing it on the billboards or some ad-
vertising dodeer.
You may say that this is all very
easily explained by the fact Of the ad-
vertisement being very common one
that everybody would be running
against. On the contrary it is rather of
an uncommon one, but wherever it is
am sure to find it. l don't know what
the article is the face advertises, and /
don't want to. only want to be freed
from the nightmare of that mask.-New

Placer's Big Cherry Trees.

In some remote age the deep, whirling
waters Of the American river at Monte
Rio washed out the rock layers of long
previous geological formation to the
depth of probably 200 feet OF more, and
this excavation being filled to half its
depth by alluvia1 material from the
sides of adjacent hills, formed a deposit
over sixty feet deep and some ten or
twelve acres in present area.
The waters of the American now form
only small stream, the alluvial deposit
that has made the giant cherry tree
growth being ten or a dozen feet higher
than the usual current of the deep river
channel. The soil of Hector's cherry
orchard has been bored to over sixty
feet in depth without touching bed rock
or rock of any kind, the allnvial quality
continuing to this great depth. On
about four acres of this soil black Tar
tartan cherry trees were set In 1862 or
1858 by ancestral relatives of the pres
ent owner, several smaller orchards or
additions having been planted since.
