SAN Francisco, Dec. N.-Sir Charles

Mr.. Bowack was wrong in saying that
no dividende had been paid on Gen.

Under the old lease 2 per

More money was to be seen yesterday

realized from this seasons crop. Ihe
amount divided among the growers yes

final settlement of the last carloads,
shipped on December 18th.
The total crop for the past season
from the district comprising orchards

amounted to 21,S57 bags, weighing
2.271 ,972 pounds. 1t required 147 cars

A similar organization exists in Full

Up in the attic where slept
When was boy--a little boy
In through the lattice the moonlight crepS
Bringing tide of dreams that swept
Over the low, red trundle bed.
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While moonbeams played at hide and seek
With dimples on each sun Drowned cheek
When / was boy-a little boyl
And, ohl the dreams-the dreams dreamed
When was boy-a little boy
For the grace that through the lattice streaIned
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift Of prophecy
And to bring me glimpses of times to be
Where manhood's clarion seemed to cali
All that was the sweetest dream Of all.
When was boy-a little boyl
I'd IiAs to sleep where used to sleep
When was a boy-a little boy
For in at the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tide Of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs Of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint today.
And those dreams should give me back again
The peace have never known since then
When was a boy-a little boy!

wOMEN.s BANGS


Ne Longer acknowledgements 10
Football PlaysrA
Some fifteen years ago fashionsble
young women were covering their fore
heads with q fringe Of straight hair
which hung so low as to nearly hide
the brightness of their eyes This was
the first appearance in public of the
bang, and it has evidently come to stay.
But as nothing is tolerated by fashion
very long. the straight bang was rele-
gated in few years to. the daughters
of Erin. while their mistrcsses wore
fringes which were curled or frizzed.
This fashion reigued for some time.
but it in turn has been succeeded by
the present madonna-like mode of hair
dressing. which leaves the existence of
foreheads a matter of certainty rather
than conjecture.
But the old-fashioned straight bang
has by no means been banished. 1t
has fallen on the head of the college
man. There the bang may be seen in
its first and undiminished state. It is
especially in evidence on the football
field and is said to save the players
heads from many hard blow. So,
seemingly. there was always a method
of its wanderings, and it was meant
from the beginning to arrive at point
where special mission was to be full
filed.
In the present gentle stage of the
football game a mass of flowing locks
is said to afford sufficient protection to
the skull Of the college man. But as
the game seems to be evolving toward
something more glorious and danger
Gus than the game of to-day, it is safe
to presume that helmets will soon be
added to football armor. Then bangs
will have fulfilled their mission and
may start on their onward way once
more.
Perhaps by that time the college girl
will be ready to assume them. She is
the only member of society who has
been free from the light touch of
bangs. But as their progress is as sure
as it is slow, even she may have to
adopt them before long The possibility
opens up an interesting field for con-
lecture.
If the college girl takes her brothers
discarded bang, it will not be for the
purpose of adoring herself Herewith
She must have a hygienic or other
equally good reason for wearing one
before she will SO far depart from her
ancient principles as to bang her hair.
1t is barely possible that she viii do SO
from a desire to place herself on an
equality with college men. Shs has
assumed her brothers sailor-hat, his
four-in-hand and waistcoat Or else,
in her self-sacri6cing desire to raise
the standard of women's colleges as
high as that of mems, she may consent
to play a modified sort of football
game, and in this case she will certain
ly have to be protected by bang. But
this is all conjectural and for the pres
ent, at least, the college boy monopo-
Lies the straight, long, old-fashioned
fringe. 1t may, before long, bring HIM
to the point of wearing veil; for with
out a veil, as girls all know, bangs
cannot be kept in order. .-Harper's

are at public meeting or in prison
