AN AUTUMN PICTURE.

How round red roofs stand russell stacks s-ow
Homeward from cleaning in the stubble wheat,
hi n overhead the harsh rock saile;h slow,
And cupless acorns crackle meath your feet,
No breeze. no breath, veereth the oasthouso
hoods,
Whence the faint smoke floats fragrantly
away;
And, In the distance, the half hasy woods
Glow with the barren glory of decay.
vainly the bramble strives to drape the hedge.
Whose leafiess gaps show many an empty
nest;
The chill pool stagnstes round the seeded sedge
And Is the sunset saddens in the west
Funeral mist comes creeping down the dale,
And widowed Autumn weeps behind her veil.

The Colora6io Poet.

Cy Warrnan is very stout, ruddy
gentleman Of perhaps thirty-fve years,
and looks as little like the conventional
poet Of fancy as any prosperous miner
in the Rocky mountains. He did some
very good writing while an editor in
Creede, Colo, and also while editing The
Western Railway. Before that he was
an engineer, and thinks he absorbed
some poetic fire while guiding his engine
on night runs through the sublime seen
cry Of the mountains. He lives at pres

quired, and not long ago made hissirst
visit to New York.

FIFTY YEARS IN BED.
The Sad Existence of Miss Winston
Ended.


The Sad Existence of Miss Winston
Ended.
Over so years of physical pain and al
most perfect helplessness was the lot OF
Miss Mary Winston, who died at the
home Of her sister in Downey, in this
county, on Sunday evening, says the
Pomona Progress. She lived 56 years,
and all but three of them we're passed as
a helpless sufferer in bed. She fell from
her mothers arms when an infant In
1880, and suffered q shock to her spine
and nerves that rendered her totally un-
able to walk. Later, stiffening OF her
joints set in and for So years che was not
able to even get out of bed, and for near
ly 20 years could not help herself to food
or drink.
She was deeply interested In all new
books and current affairs, and, having
large means at her disposal, caused
books to be read to her day after day.
She was lifted about on sheets and fed
like child, but never complained about
her hard fate. Her greatest disappoint-
ment was in not being able to see
President Harrison when he passed
through Downey in May, 1891. She
could not be taken to the depot in her
bed to see the president, as she had
planned, because of the inclemency of
the weather.
1t is related that she once agreed to
give 500, 900 to famous specialist on
nervous diseases if he could help her 80
that she would be able to walk 10 steps
in succession, but the physician could
do nothing. Miss Winston left $140, 900
worth Of property to her sister and to
the Boston home for cripples.

PAINTED OUT THE LEGS.

The Way q Churchman Settled q Thsat-
rical Poster.
Los Angeles is always slightly behind
the eastern cities in the way Of fads,
crusades or reforms, but these agitatiohs
reach here in due time. The crusade
against theatrical posters OF leg shows re-
Gently agitated by the good -blooded
people of Boston, while a long time
coming has at last reached the Angelic
city. 1t was all caused by the appear
ance OF the Spider and the Fly company
here last week. One OF the styles of
posters used Is about six feet high by
four acioss. 1t represents Horatio
Pickles talking with a shapely young
lady in red tights, who impersonates
Mephisto. Among other places in the
city one of these Autographs was posted
by the side entrance of the First Baptist
church on Broadway.
Some very righteous member of the
church was filled with holy horror when
he saw the sacreligious picture within
three feet of the church. There that
vile picture stared him in the face, des-
ecrsting the side door of the church
and polluting the minds of the
young people. Something must be
done. First he started to tear
the sign down but his attempts
were fruitless. He was in desperation.
Finally bright idea flashed upon him.
Marching to paint shop he purchased
long-handled paint brush and bucket
of the blackest paint in the shop. Thus
armed he went back and applied the
paint. He covered the shapely legs en-
tirely, and they were soon a
thing of the past, being en-
tirely hidden behind the curtain
OF black paint. The impromptu sign
painter was about to cover the young
woman's head too, but feeling Of re-
gret seized him, so he left that portion
OF her anatomy alone. Mr.. Pickles, the
lady's side partner, was not touched.
At the last accounts the pair were still
hobnobbing by the church door. The
young woman appeared pleased at the
kindness Of the sexton in providing her
with covering from these foggy nights.

Bush Cherry Trees.

Cherry trees can be dwarfed and
grown almost in any shape, the same as
apple, pear and plum trees. 1t is gem
orally believed that cherries away from
walls can only be grown as standards.
This is mistake, however, as the cherry
has been pruned and trained to grow in
regular bush form. The best varieties
for this purpose are the May Duke and
Bigsrreau.
Gut the bushes down to within Is
inchea of the ground and induce four or
five branches to spring out from the
trunk. The second season cut the limbs
back one-half, leaving seven or eight
branches to form the body OF the dwarfed
bush. If this dwar6ng is not kept up
and the tree pruned back heavily it will
refuse to bear fruit. Trees grown in this
form six to eight feet high are easily
managed and in proportion to the space
they cover they bear a fine return of
fruit.
