some of her neighbors, and yetev-

gathers uuder the shadow of her

brushes of those who have gained
renown among the studios of other
countries.
1t will pay any one interested to

require one to look long or 90 far
70 see that something besides gold
will grow and can be rased there.
In keeping with the vyry early
days, California has builded her

hibit in itself, showing the style Of
the old Spanish missions found all

Over in the Irish village in Blar-
ney Castle is the famed Barney
stope. Mayor Harrison did the un
yelling act, and now those who
choose and have the for,itude to be

men perhaps would rather embrace
the girls who tell its history than
kiss the rock.
Those who are acquainted with

West Virginia's keys were turned
over to the state. However, Gen.
ST. Clair was equal to the occasion,
and told the story of the rise and
progress of that state which was
once part and parcel of the old
dominion.
