which seemed somehow to be lost in
| the higher darkness.
Everything was so confoundedlv
damp and cold that we both developed
shivering fits, and spent the intervals
between the discoveries of new horrors
in cursing the luck that brought US to
Tilgaroo. Tha manager returned very
late in the evening, wet through to the
skin. He stood before as, with the
water dripping from him into puddles
on the floor, and said, quietly:
What night for Lufkin.''
No answer was needed, so we fol-
lowed him into the house and went to
bed.
1t was vastly pleasant to lie curled
up in our warm blankets listening to
the steady swish, swish of the rain
outside, and it would have been even
more so, but for our hosts restlessness
next door. He Sroaned and tossed
and tumbled half the night
just before daylight was awakened
by dingo bowling like a lost soul
among the trees behind the house. As
he finished ! heard horses clatter across
the stony creek and pull up outside.
The rain had ceased and the stars were
shining brightly. The manager left
his room and went into the veranda
to see who it was | supposed There
could be no mistake about it, the
jingle of the bits and the paving Of
the horses was wildly distinct.
He said, and his voice had strange
vibration in the still night air:

There was one delight, said a man
| who was reared IN a small town, that
suppose many children born in great
cities never know, and that is the de-
light OF playing in the garrett Many
city children, to be sure, have relatives
In the country, or in smaller cities or
towns, whom they have visited, who
Ave In houses with garrets, and these
knew something OF the delights OF the
| garnet, but there must be many chill
eren who have never even heard the
name.
For myself, l remember well a gar
ret 10 which L used to climb in rainy
| weather up steep and narrow fight
OF stairs. It was warm and rather
stuHy IN the garnet, but the raj made
music on the shingled roof and the gar
ret itself was full of treasures. There
was room, to begin with-space to move
about in-though YOU needed to look
| out little for the timbers in the slop-
ing roof There was 4 swing from the
| two beams, and we used to swing and
swing IN that and never got tired Of it,
There was chimney up through this
gaTret-a great, big, friendly chimney
and we used to play tag around
that chimney until we couldn't run any
more. There was a great lot of old
| magazines, and these were an unfail-
ing source of delight There were old
books IN queer type and with strange
looking pictures; there were queer old
halr-covered trunks with round tops.
studded with brass headed nails. In
these trunks and around in the garnet
were curious, old-fashio1ed mems
clothes and the most extraordinary
gowns and capes and hats OF women;
not fancy costumes. but the real things,
such as they actually wore many years
ago, and looking stranger than any.
thing YOU could hire at a costuner's
We used to dress up sometimes in these
old, old things and parade around in
the garnet and have great times gener-
ally. and SO forgot ourselves in the de-
lights of the garnet that the very world
itself looked strange when we came
down stairs and back to it.
What is there in the big city that
takes the place OF the garret?-N. y.

WE QUESTION very much whether the
people of the state are prepared TO en-
dorse amendment No. 8 80 the constitu-
ton, which ia to be voted upon at the
forthcoming election. The amendment
provides that each member of the legis-
lature ehall receive $1,000 in full pay
ment for his serv ces at each session
and 10 cents per mile for mileage, the
same as is allowed st present. The con-
stitution now limits the sessions TO 80
days and provides that the payment to
men bers of fixed per diem Of $8 shall
cease at the end of that time. So, then,
this amendment would increase the pay
ment of a member from $3.50 to $1,000. a
pretty big jump for starter. Expert
ence has shown that the limit of 60
DAYS for q session OF the legislature is
insufficient and that the sessions should
be extended to 100 days. That would
be ample time for the members to dc
satisfactorily the work that is to be
done. But to increase the per diem
from So to $40 at time whom all the
great parties are declaring for reduc
tion of official salaries and while tn,
people are clsmoring loudly for re-
trenchment of the public expenditures
10 something that the voters will no
take to kindly.

AMONGST the amendments that should
be made to the city charter is that oi
aboliehing the Office OF superintendent
OF streets and Incorporating it with that
of city engineer. The great bulk OF the
duties OF the latter Office, now that we
have an outfall sewer finished and an
internal system of sewerage we'll under
way, will hereafter be with the streets
of the city. Or, if it is found necessary
to have superintendent of streets, let
the Office be an appointive one. We
nave found to our cost that elected SUI
perintendent have been wasteful, ex-
travagant and incompetent. About one
hfth OF the entire money spent by the
city goes through the office of superin-
tendent of streets, and it's accounts
have been kept in such a slovenly man
ner that even the superintendent him
self is in blissful ignorance of what has
become of large sums collected, presume
ably, by him. II the Office were made
department in the engineers office, and
the incumbent selected by the mayor,
we would have fair show to secure the
discharge of its duties by competent
man. Experience has demonstrated that
we cannot get man fit for the position
by the present method of selection.

NOTWITHSTANDING the wheat failures
In the states of Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri. the increase of that cereal in
other states will bring the crop away ap
above that of any previous year, so th at
the country at large will suffer no ma
terisl detriment. The wheat crop OF
the whole continent will be something
in excess of 100. 900, 900 bushels over the
usual yield. while the cotton crop is un-
usually bountiful in its yield. With big
crops, no war and no cholera or othe r
epidemic, we should be a happy and
prosperous people. And We would be
but for two classes. OF those the first is
the class sometimes called "the pre-
datory rich,' when VIII periurH irserr-
half q dozen times a day in order to
avoid paying it's just share OF taxation.
The other is the dirty, ragged and ire
sponsible class that keeps up q nomadic
existence on the highways between San
Diego and Portland. and is never so un-
happy as it is when it has money or
something else that ought to be taxed.

cal administration OF affairs, both OF the
government and public corporations,
When this is accomplished we have
done all that can be DESIRED"
Mr.. Webster had much to say oi
9th er affairs which be personally was
fav orable to, but the financial and rail-
road questions were the most important
of those discussed. All that he said was
in tone of conssrvstiveness rs if be was
man who had made a study of the
question.
Mr.. Webster said that he had been
accused OF being banker, but he said
that his connection was with a bank in
San Luis Obispo which he helped or
ganize. He had borrowed $1,000 to take
stock with and was still paying 10 per
cent interest for the use of it. AS his
dividends were but z per cent be was
not making much for banker.
He stated that his occupation was
that OF farmer.

SEVERAL days ago some fruit growers
in the vicinity of the Cucamorga ranch
hired three coachloads OF heathen Chi
nese to pick grapes. guaranteeing them
two months work. Now comes the "old
reliable" San Francisco Call and tells
about a man in Yolo county who has an
orchard three and one-half years old. in
which he disburses something between
s40O and $500 week for labor and not
Chinese labor either. He employs white
girls and boys. and saws he would rather
have them than any Chinese or Indians
He employs sixty in all and the sexes
are about equally divided in his employ.
He has picked for drying. since the be-
ginning of the season, 467S boxes oi
apricots, 315 boxes OF nectarines, SS4
boxes OF clingstone peaches, 34O7 boxes
OF freestone peaches aad 1900 boxes of
pears. This ia in addition to green fruit
shipped to csnneries at Woodland, Sac
ramento and other towns in that neigh
