General cummings's Story.

This melon story ls vouched for by
General Cummings, of Hartford and
New York; 'Several years ago." he
said to me, 81 was compelled to go to
Southern California for my health.
My doctor informed me that I could
not live six months if I remained in
the East. Too much cannot be said of
the glorious climate of Southern Cali
fornia. 1t cured me completely.
had not drawn long breath for nine
teen years, but six months after my
arrival in California was practically
well man, could climb the mouptains
with anybody and would not have hesi-
tated to tackle Corbett or Sullivan.
But I started out to tell you a melon
story. 1t is absolutely true, although
most of my friends to whom have re.
lated it are skeptical on the subject.
One day friend and decided to go |
up the mountains for picnic. We |

heard our driver having some words
with n mau who was walking along the
side of the road. We were so much
occupied with the scenery we did not
catch what passed between them. Sud-
denly this sentence rang out on the air
with startling clcarness: Il can pay you
now 1t was repeated: Il can pay you
now Glancing in the direction of
the man who was so anxious to make
an immediate payment I beheld
shabbily dressed individual who had
nll the appearance of u tramp. He
turned, and with the air of Wander
bilt said again: IF you will come
around to the house I will pay
you now With that he climbed
over the fence and disappeared. Our
driver drew up his horses, and
turning to us said: Gentlemen that
beats any thing 1 ever heard Of Hethen
explained that he had sold ten acres
of land to the man who had been ad-
dressing him, some three months pre-
vious, for $3.50. AS it was past the
time for planting orange trees he had
agreed to give him until the next year
to pay for the land. That was only
three months ago., the driver added,
and you can judge my astonishment
on s,.sint meeting thfs hsngapV purchaser just now to
now. 1t will take us little out OF
our way to 60 to his house, but if you
have no objection I would like to go
there and get the money. Perhaps he
has struck gold on his place J."
"Our curiosity was aroused and we
told our driver to go after his money. |
On approaching the place I was struck
by the enormous quantity of water
melons that met my gaze. 1t seemed
to me had never seen 80 many mel.
ons before in my life. They were ly.
ing three deep all over the ground.
They were of immense size too. When
we drove to the house the man ap.
peared and promptly handed our
driver $3.50 in gold. 1t seems he had
planted water melons, as it was
too late when he bought the ten acres
to put in orange trees. He had only
sold small patch Of his melons mot
more than half an acre) and had real
lied over $1,000. If he sold all Of his
melons at the end of the season he
must have cleared $4,000 to $4,000,
pretty fair profit on farm of ten

A young student of the Royal Poly

long-felt want. His invention is
steam bicycle which will run as fast as
fourteen miles an hour. Petroleum or
