Prospects for storage water did
you say? l have always been consid.
cred few years ahead of the times. but
l am willing to put myself on record and
take the chances of being right or
wrong.
Southern California has but lust
begun to develop. The horizon of de.
velopment is broader today than it was
10 years ago. Then we thought the
limit was most reached; now we know
it is not.
"The future development of wealth
in Southern California lies in storage
reservoirs. This has been amply illus-
trated. Wealth is made In several
ways. In the fret place the man who
puts money into storage reservoirs
makes money at rate that is more
than satisfactory, and the man who
owns the land to be irrigated makes
more money than does the man who
furnishes the water. For instance, the
Bear Valley reservoir was built in 1884.
The original stockholders put in $780,
600. They then drew out in water
dividends $4,000. Three years ago
they reorganized the company and put
in 100000 more, and then the face
value of their stock amounted to 81, AGO.
600. Two years ago 10 per cent divi-
dend on that stock was paid amounting
to $3.50, 900. One year ago another SINH
lar dividend was paid. and this last May
another dividend of 10 per cent was
paid amounting to $500, ,000-a total Of
81, $4,000 in dividends on an invest
ment of $3.50, ,000."

A Queer Misunderstanding OF an ApPPen-
tice Hand In q Turkish Bath.
When the new apprentice assumed
his duties at the Turkish bath estab-
lisAment the manager thought he
seemed rather stupid and entered into
a long explanation Of what lie was to
do He particularly emphasized the
command that the attendant was to
rub 'em without mercy"
During the day the manager heard a
great many complaints from his pa
irons that they had lost their peFsogsl
property. He thought that a sneak
thief must have come in to get washed,
and resolved to be on the look out. He
discovered nothing, however, though
he peeked around most of the day like
an amateur detective, hiding IN all sorts
of places.
Toward the time when the new at
tendant was about to go off duty the
latter went into the managers office
and began behaving with much mys-
terry. lie walked around like wet
hen. waiting Hgtil the coast was clear.
When there was none but himself and
his chief In the office he tiptoed up to
the door and locked it. Then he pro-
duced from his pockets Ave gold
watches, some diamond rings, a few
scarfpins and a gold-headed cane, which
he set fosth with great pride before the
manager, who. Aorrorstruck, recog-
nized the effects as belonging ~ his
customers.

A OUAIL'S NEST.

How It Was Found and What It Con.
tained-A Crowded Structure.
AFTER we had inspected the young
hawks a neighbor of mine offered to
conduct us to quaips nest. Anything
in the shape of nest is always well
come. 1t is such mystery, such a
center of interest and affection, and if
upon the ground is usually something
so dainty and exquisite amid the natur-
al wreckage and confusion. A ground
nest seems SO exposed, too, that it al
ways gives little thrill of pleasurable
surprise to see the group of frail eggs
nesting there behind so slight bar
rier. 1 will walk a long distance any
amid the stubble or under tuft of
grass. 1t is a jewel in rosette of
jewels, with frill of weeds or turf.
"a quairs nest had never seen, and
TO be shown one within the hunting
ground of this murderous hawk would
be a double pleasure. Such a quiet, Sc
cluded, grass-grown highway as we
moved along was itself rare treat.
Sequestered was the word that the lit
tie valley suggested, and peace the feel
ing the road evoked. The farmer
whose fields lay about us half grown
with weeds and bushes evidently did not
stir or make noise enough to disturb
anything. Besides this rustic high
way, bounded by old messy stone walls
and within stones throw of the farm
er's barn, the quail had made her nest.
1t was just under the edge of pros
trate thorn bush.
1.-THE nest is right there said the
farmer. pausing within ten feet of it
and pointing to the spot with his stick.
I'm moment or two we could make
out the notified brown plumage of the
sitting bird. Then we approached her
cautiously till we bent above her.
"She never moved a feather.
''Then l put my cane down in the
brush behind her. We wanted to see
disturb the sitting hen.
'She would not move.
Then put down my hand within a
few inches of her; still she kept her
place. Should we have to lift her out
bodily?
''Then Miss E. put down her hand,
probably the prettiest and whitest hand
| the quail had ever seen. At least il
startled her, and off she sprang
uucovering such a crowded nest
of eggs as ! had never before beheld.
Twenty-one of them! ring or disk OF
white like a china saucer. You could
not help saying how pretty, how cum
ping, like baby hens eggs, as if the
bird were playing at sitting as Children
play at housekeeping.
''If had known how crowded her nest
was should not have dared to disturb
her, for fear she would break some Of
them. But not an egg suffered harm
by her sudden fight, and no harm came
to the nest afterward. Every egg
hatched, 1 was told, and the little
chicks, hardly bigger than bumblebees
were led away by the mother into the
aeld's"-St. Nicholas.

The Inhabitants of Our Sister Republic
Descendants from Indians.
People of the United States have
some very queer ideas of our sister re-
public of Mexico They think of the
Mexicans as Spaniards who have re.
ceived dash of Indian blood. Now,
the fact is that Mexico is not Spanish,
but an Indian nation. The pure
blooded Indians constitute more than
one-half the population of Mexico.
The remainder are chiefly Indians with
a dash of Spanish blood. There are
very few pure blood Spaniards in Next
co, and these are hated with a hearty
good will by the Indians and
hybrids, who refer to them as 'guachu.

lean for snobs. Contrary to popula r
opinion in this country, there is very
little admixture with the negro race in
Mexico. The Mexicans have no partic-
ular objection to iatermaprying with
the negroes, but there are very few of
the latter in the country. At Vera G rug
and other coast towns there has been
some admixture with the coolies,
brought from the Manila islands The
lower Mexican states are almost ex-
clusively Indian, and millions of them
can not sneak Spanish at all. Many of
them arc highly eixilized snd very
wealthy. Politically 1t Is great adj
vantage to be a pure blooded Indian.

NJ, Romero, minister de hacienda, to
civilize these Indians and make of them
valuable citizens, thereby more than
doubling the wealth-producing force of
the republic. Mexico is far behind the

cedes, grows fainter, till at last the
sound is lost. The wild ducks are fiy-
ing.
From the lake comes far-off trumpet
note, and then another-the mellow
call of wild geese.
The world is awakening. The day is
near.
The stars which looked in at the
smoke-hole are paling now. Upon the
horizon in the east lies line of gray,
which slowly broadens and makes twi-
light where all before was dark.
The outlines of the tree trunks are
seen standing out like ghosts reaching
out shadowy arms, as if feeling their
way through the dimness The chirp
and 1utter of migrating birds that
through the night slept in the low
bushes begin to be heard.
As the light grows, dusky shapes APP
pear in the little park behind the camp

door two dogs are curled up in the
grass. still asleep. Their long black
coats are white here and there with
frost, and in their sleep their muscles
twitch as they SILVER from the cold; yet
| their rest is sound.
Day is at hand.
Now stir is heard within the lodge.
There are muffled grunts and groans,
| yawn or two, the rustling of cloth
| ing, then the faint sound of footsteps,
| and suddenly the pale glare of a match
increasing to a little glow as the
| shavings catch, and then to bright
flicker which lights up the whole lodge
| as the larger sticks take fire and
crackle, and white smoke and a few
| sparks float from the smoke hole
Soon the door of the lodge is thrown
| back. A man steps out and looks
about. yawns and shivers He breaks
the ice in the water-bucket and pours
some in basin.
Others in the lodge are getting up.
Voices are heard. The men of the
camp pass in and out at the door
Some prepare breakfast, others bus
themselves about the packs and lash
the bundles. Two of them build cor
raj of ropes about three trees, and then
start off to drive in the horses. Soon
| these are seen coming toward the camp.
| The men spread themselves out and
| drive the animals into the Enclosure,
where they are caught and tied up.
While this is being done the call to
breakfast is heard.
Meantime the light has spread itself
over all the heavens. In the east the
streaky clouds have flushed to deep red
and paled again to richest gold. To
the west the snow-clad mountains are
wrapped in a garment of rose. Looking
again toward the east, the sun appears
over the prairie ridge.
The day has come. Forest and
Stream.
