4 TERRIBLE TRIP ON 4 TIGHT
ROPE.

! BlOdin, the renowned rope walker,
usually carried man upon his back
when walking the tight rope. Form
erly he was wont to bargain with
some one to accompany him on this
journey. On the occasion of a per-
Torrance in Chicago man offered
his services gratis. Blodin accepted
them and assembled the rope with his
living burden. When the pair reached
the middle of the rope the man began
to laugh heartily.
What is it that amuses you? the rope
dancer asked, with astonishment
Oh, a comic idea has just struck me.
/ was thinking what sort of face you
would pull if, during the next half
minute, both of us were to fall down
upon the audience.
But we shall not fall, replied Blon-
din reassuringly.
But I have determined upon this
occasion to take my life
At the same moment the man began
to wriggle about, SO that the rope
dancer nearly lost his balance. He,
however, soon composed himself,
dropped his balancing pole and grip
ped the man SO firmly with his hands
that he was unable to move.
Then continuing his walk, although
in state of great trepidation, he ar
rived safely at the end of the rope,
and, allowing his living burden to
slide from his shoulders, he admins
tered box on both ears with such
force that the would be suicide fell
BILE journey BlonGin has carried only
one man, his true and faithful servant
on every occasion.

'EThis is age.

"The student woman who makes

HAD FAITH.-About six months ago I was
advised tn consult Mrs Hall, the great Spirit
ualist doctor, to see if she could cure me of
Scrofula, from which 1 have suffered from
childhood. She said if would have faith in
the medicine she gave me. that she could cure
me. I took her medicine, and in less than
thaee months was cured. Why, the way til e
medicine worked was q miracle. 1 begged of
her to tell me what the medicine was made Of

told me the medicine Sulphur Bitters, and
that she never knew it to fail in all such cases

Small Ranches.

L. D. Steel, who attended the meeting
of the Pathological society in Pomona
recently has given US some figures that
show how good living for his family Of
five people his 10 acres Of various fruits
made him in the San Gabriel valley,
west of Baldwin's Santa Anita ranch.
"I think" said he, "my experience can
be duplicated almost anywhere in
Southern California by the right man.
and it proves the old time argument" !"
Mr.. Steel bought his place and water
right in 1885 for $1,000. He set out four
acres of prunes, two acres of apricots,
one acre of alfalfa, two acres to oranges
and half an acre to lemons. He built q
house for $1,000 more. He got living for
five years from poultry, selling vegeta-
bles and straw berries and doing day labor
until his property came into bearing.
Since then he has taken it easier, but is
still moat industrious, strong man.
Mr.. Steel has kept accurate account of
his ranch finances. He shows that he
sold crops from his place In 1891 for
fflss,s RE snsy and ths asm5 net profit VIA. szas
sources: From alfalfa, $s2; from april
cots, $316; from prunes, $433; from
oranges, $715, and ftom lemons, $267.
For last year his receipts from his ten
acres have thus far been $1527, and he
has crop OF oranges that will probably
bring him 5000 more next March. His
recent pales of crop have been as fol-
lows: From apricots, SAB; prunes.
1915; alfalfa, $40; lemons, .$134. Mr..
Steel and his two boys do all the work
on the place, but $132 having been paid

Planting Trees.

In planting trees for an orchard set
them as solid as possible, packing the
earth we'll around the roots. Fill up the
hole with earth, but put no water in the
hole, if the soil is moist enough for corn
or other seed to germinate. If water 10
put on the earth, or there is too much
moisture in the soil at the time OF plant
ing, 1t will bake and crack and the trees
will die. Plant food cannot be furnished
from either wet or baked soil.
We cannot improve upon natures
method OF watering trees. A loose soil
is both mulch and moisture to newly
planted tree. The trunk of the tree
may be watered after planting if there ia
lack OF moisture in the adjoining soil.
Keep stock out OF the young orchard. Il
the trunks or ends of the branches are
browsed during the fall or winter the
trunk will be diseased and will never re-
cover unless cut off and allowed tc
sprout up. again.

The sale of the great trotting stallion
Monbars, 2 :1124, at 4 years old, for the
comparatively low price of $4,000 is
even more disastrous than the sale of
Stamboul for $4,000. There was an
attempt to cloud the record Of Stamboul,
but not that of the Eagle Bird colt, who
trotted q good deal faster than Stamboul
could trot at his age. But then prices
have declined perceptibly during the
past few months, and horsefesh is get
ting down to condition in which indi-
viduality rather than lineage is the great
consideration, after all that is said and
done. Stamboul, in addition to being
very highly bred horse, was
an animal of marvellous beauty,

Lopez as genial gentleman, but after
that 1 admired him as broadgaugs

and admit that some good could come

hand, has nothing to recommend him
but his speed. Quality he has none,
and a homelier horse in the head and
