To such length has our American habit
O. treating gone that to decline to accom-
pany frien or acquaintance into a drink
ing resort Is to Insult him. To accompany a
friend into saloon, remain any length OF
time and be hau ed about, clawed all over
and slobhered on by the habituss OF the placs
Is, to my mind, one of the most disgusting
and obnoxious thin IS selfrespecting man
can be callei upon to do. The man who is
invited into drinking den aud refuses to
accept the invitation may give offence to the
friend who invites him, and that friend will
be very apt to make no secret of his feelings;
IN TACT he believes 1t TO be his privilege, nay
his duty, to openly eensure the unreasonable
person who refuses to worship at the shrine
OF Bacchus at his bidding. The thought that
the invitation in itself might be regarded as
an insult would not be likely TO enter the
head OF the man so accustomed to the giving
and accepting Of such invitations.

lt has always puzzled me TO understand
why man, the noblest ami most intell gent
OF all animals, will accept an invitation to
fake drink when he is not thirsty without
questioning the motives of the one vino

pitality.
TO ask that same man to have a sandwich,
bowl of mush and milk, some pork aud
beans, plate OF soup or even a bottle of
castor oil would be TO insnuate that he did
not have money enough TO pay his own

Tn, Signal Corps.

The signal corps, United States Army,
rs new constituted, is limited to fifty
men. The pay OF il private in the corps
IS SlOO per m Inth, as against the Sl3 per

is much sought after by men in the ranks.
1t is customary when vacancies occur to
give the first chances for enlistment to
those soldiers who have distinguished
themselves by long service or natual
ability. Admission to the corps is by

TEMPERANCE.

Nor yet in the tropic sun,
| Twas not I'm a leper's prison,
Twas not by the cyclones glee.
Twas never an earthquakes horror,
That ravished my boy from me.
Through the gates OF sinful pleasure,
Bereft OF his spotless name,

with who but hims slt TO blame9
| He fought and he fcl.-~the tempter
Beguiled him with laughter and song,
Forgetting his Go and mother,
My poor, weak boy went down.
For the brand OF the beast besottei,
He bartered his manhood's crown,
He broke the one heart that loved him,
Fer Its idol was razsi TO the ground,
Dead, the ashes that cumbsr the altar
Where once the bright em, ers slone,
Lies love light is shrouded forever,
Since my boy, my boy, went down.
Had the waves in pitiless frenzy
But swallowed him up in the deep,
Had the hurry and tumult OF carnage
Sealed his eyelids forever in sleep,

That runs down the cycle of years,
From its birthday, till time is hoary,

And the idols we press TO our bosoms,
Lie shattered in fragments around;
And the ashes are cold on the altirs
For our boys, cur boys, have gone down.
Q, the plague is more merciful, heaven,
Than this blight on the bloom OF our

For the coffin lid hides but the vestures,
And the soul, disenthrallei scars aloft,

And struggle to bite back the moan:
But she traffic in souls is protected,
And our poor tempted boys must 20 down

1t is the duty of the State Librarian or

Librarian or the governing board has
the right to demand and collect into the

them by judicial process if necessary

SIGN PROMPTLY.

The splendid manner in which the citi-
zens of Sacramento are coming forward
and signing for the factories proposition,
is an emphatic protest against, and COM
plete refutation of the threadbare charge
that Sacramento is not progressive. Let
the good work go on. Let every man,
woman and child having assessable prop
erty in the city remember that in this
matter every drop counts. No matter
how small the sum of assessment, it goes
to mako up the necessary total. Several
millions must thus be listed to the I'M
provement Association before we can
count upon any success reasonably. 1t
is matter that concerns every one,
thing that comes home to every citizen,
no matter how humble. 1t appeals as
strongly to the poor as to the rich, and
with as much force to the large property
owner as TO the humblest taxpayer.
The man who holds back on this
scheme is doing a positive injury to the
city and TO all its interests, as well as to
his own. This is case of small and
simple investment that there may be
great gain. 1t is not new thing. There
are cities and towns in plenty that have
done likewise, but none in which so even
and just distribution of burdens and of
benefits was ever planned. In most
other places the funds have been raised
by contribution by few persons the
result has been to cripple them unneces-
sarily, to burden them disproportion-
stely, and to render them incapable of
direct contribution to other schemes of
public Improvement. Here is San Jose
about to hold a convention to raise
Sl,000,000 to an unworthy scheme to take
the Capital from Sacramento; shall we
not raise 100000 to add to our prosperity
new and potential aids to our CONNER
cial growth, that will not be dependent
upon political whims and the turn of a
legislative card and that will prove a
powerful aid in Capital retention? In
four years last past Sacramento has
raised and expended upon public and
private works 81, 155, 900 and no man is
poorer because of the output, but in fact
all are richer. Shall it be said now that
we cannot raise the small sum of SOC, 900
for still greater accomplishment? No,
Sacramento will do it-but time is an ele-
ment of success in this matter, and
hence il is necessary that the siunaturaS
shall be sent in without any further delay.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Teha-na 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 $40 to SEQ per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, $50 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
areespecially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
mont of interest only Tor three years at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by Paying the first OF five equal an
NAL installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipAl is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in.
terest al the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 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 for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
300 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at sic an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set

LIEU LANDS AND STATE LIBRARY
FUNDS.

The Board of Library Trustees are d.
rectly concerned i'll this lieu land matter
TO the extent of the fees that are sup
posedly collected upon the filings" for
lieu lands that are resting in some sort of
mysterious. state in the safe of the Sur
yeyor-General. Assuming that there are
1900 applications in the safe, the fee
upon eGch that it must be assumed was
paid in each case, as the law requires, is
50, or in all about 100000 This sum, :or
whatever the sum may be, belongs to the
library fund.
Now, if the papers which the Surveyor
General refuses to give to public inspec-
ton are filings, then the fees paid in on
them are the property of the library fund,
and became so at once. If the papers are
not filings, then no applications are made
under the law and no fees have been
made for the library fund, and as con-
seauence the papers cannot hereafter be
regarded as filings. In other words, as
was clearly put at the advisory investiga-
ton the other day, the papers are or they
are not filed applications for lands. If they
are. then they are public documents, the
fees have accrued and may be demanded.
If they are not, they cannot become docu-
ments of public character until they are
filed, and presumably there are no fees
payable until the documents are so filed.
If the documents are public filings, then
they are open to public inspection and
have no place in the secrecy of the office
safe. If they are not public documents,

1t is unjust to tax the stomach with
burdens that it cannot bear. Many silly
people thus tyraunize that faithful serv-
itor until it rebels and Furnishes them as
they deserve. Dyspepsia is usually the
child of gastronomic folly, but whether
this or the natural associate of inherent
feebleness from childhood, it is surely and
pleasantly remediable with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the finest and most
highly sanctioned gastric tonic in exist
ence. AS a result of the tone impaired 10
the stomach, and the increased activity of
its digestive and assimilative action, in

invigorant, general stamina is augmented,
the nerves strengthened and tranquillized
and a tendency to insomnia and hypo-

and fever, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are conquered by this admirable
medicine.
