ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40 so, 12o, 100 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first Of Ave equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have FIVE years in which 10
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per snnum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at so per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices To corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Thomas and John were two brothers in
brightest boys in the school, although
they were not as dull as some.

"J-o-h-n," responded John with pride.
Right! and now Thomas spell yours"

This great book has sold for years
at SIG to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are Io3xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SIG and kept asking for the
old 'Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 3a
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever belore-and has hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

makes a stroke, and the little white
ball sails off into the air or skins over
the ground.
Almost every play has to be made
with "a special "cleek' or instrument
adapted ior the purpose. There is the
"cleel" with metal point for playing
over ordinary ground between holes,
the "lofter" for raising the ball over
obstacles, otherwise "bunlsers' and
hazards" the ''putters" for putting
the ball into hole at short distance,
and Others. The player preparing for
stroke is said to be addressing the
ball"
The grounds where the game is
played are called the "links," and the
boys who carry the club around for the
players are called the "caddies." The
game is said to be well adapted for
women and girls, though the most OF
those who play are men and boys.

two.of the positions taken in the game

power of these steam road wagons is

not necessary to follow any particular

WISDOM OF GEESE.
Thoy Arc by No Means As Fooiish As
Thoy Arc Represented.

They Arc by No Means As Fooiish As
They Arc Represented.
Somebody who is indignant that the
name of the goose should be synonym
for folly, has collected stories from all
quarters to illustrate the true wisdom
and dignity of geese. There are many
varieties of wild geese, and whether
they are all equally nice and dignifed
the book does not say. Still 1t is true
that the bird is not coward, and does
not hesitate to attack birds much big
Y ger than himself. The domestic goose
is too well known to need description
of his person or habits, and most of the
stories of this historian of geese are so
old that you would hardly care to re-
call them here.
One or two stories seem somewhat
newer. In Richmond park, in England,
where many geese are kept, the nests
of the setting geese were often de-
stroyed by water rats. After consider
alton of the matter, the geese began ia
build nests up in the trees, instend OF
upon the ground. There they matched
out their families and brought their
children-not up, but down carefully
to the ground, one by one, under their
wings. Such intelligence as this is
enough to redeem the name of the
| goose forever.
The goose is certainly a dignified bird
in appearance. Whatever the haste o1
his gait, even when driven along, he
never loses his expression of grandeur
and Importance. 1t could not have
been goose who suggested that hi
was silly. If you ever looked a goose
firmly in the eye, you would know tha'
he was much tooproud to imagine sucl
q thing.

ALExANoER's HORSE.
How tho Macedonian King Secured Pos
session of Bucephalus.

How tho Macedonian King Secured Pos
session of Bucephalus.
Of course every child who goes to
school has heard of Alexander the
Great. And one can hardly think of
him without thinking also of his
horse, Bucephalus. Perhaps no horse
in the world is so well known, and no
other horses name is so familiar.
Plutarch, who has told us SO many
interesting things about people, says
that he received his name because his
head resemblcd that Of an OK or be-
cause he had the mark of an ox's head
on his flank or because he had black
mark on his head shaped like an ox's
head, the rest of his body being white.
This shows that in Plutarch's time
people cared great deal to hear about
Bucephalus.
Alexander obtained him in this way:
When he was at home with his father,
Philip, king of Macedon. a Thessalian

brought the horse to the king in hopes
to sell him. They tried to show him
off to advantage, but he was SO wild
and unmanageable that, although he
was magnificent looking animal the
king was disgusted with his conduct
and ordered him to be taken away.
Alexander had taken great fancy to
the horse, so he objected TO this.
Finally his father offered to buy Bu-
cephalus if Alexander could ride him.
so Alexander, who was not afraid of
anything and was used to having his
own way, managed to get onto the rear
ing, kicking horse, and found that he
could manage him. He suited Bu-
cephalus rs we'll as BucephaluS suited
him, and from that time the two were
inseparable. Bucephnlus would allow
no one but Alexander to mount him
He went with him in all his campaigns,
and what number of things and places
that horse saw in Persia and India!
He was obliged to endure the blazing
sun, and often he had to go without
water, and he had to climb steep noun
tains and drag through long, weary
marches, and he was wounded in bat
blSs anu po lac w iohSNi peiSfN
sometimes in peaceful Thessaly, where
he was from.
Still, he was taken good care of, for
you may be sure that AleXander's ia
vorite horse was not neglected. He had
plenty of grooms to rub him down at
night and to wait upon him, and Alex
ander no doubt often fed him with his
ewn hands. There are different ac-
counts of his death. Plutarch says that
in great battle with Porus, king of a
part of northern India, he received the
wounds of which he died. Others say
that he died not long after of fatigue,
worn out by the cruel marches and
hard work, and that at his death he
was thirty years old. That is very old
for a horse. AT any rate, he died in
that region, for Alexander built city
near the river Hydrspes, which he
called Bucephala in honor of his faith
tul horse.
The city was in ruins long ago, but
Bucephalus is still remembered, and al,
ways will be as long as history lasts

SOMETHING ABOUT GOLF.
A Scotch Game Which Is Becoming
Popular in Our Country.

Scotch Game Which Is Becoming
Popular in Our Country.
The game of golf, which has been
played in Scotland for centuries, is
now becoming popular in the United
States. The object of the game is to
knock n ball over course prepared
for the purpose in a less number of
strokes than your antagonist. At
certain intervals there are holes into
which the ball must be knocked. After
it has been placed in one of these
holes, the player takes it out, and plac-
ing it upon little handful of earth,
called a "tee," drives" it in the direc-
tion of the next hole.
The object of drive" generally is
to send the ball as far as possible. The
player rests the weight of the body on
the left foot, which is on line with
the ball. The right foot is placed
diagonally back of the left at an easy
bracing distance. The body is kept
stationary and is bent well forward so
| that when the ball is struck the hands
are little above and in front of the
left knee. The driver" the club used
In making drive" is a long, rather
flexible stick, much like a whip-stock,
except that it is bent upward and
broadened at the end where the ball is
struck. The player swings this well
up over the right shoulder two OF
three times just to get his hand in and
produce an effect, does little wrist
motion to see that the muscles of his
forearm are all right, looks in the di
rection of the next hole two or three

THE COMPASS PLANT.

Petals of Its Metallic Leaves Always
Point to the North.
Among the many remarkable things
In nature there are few more wonder
full than the compass plant of our west
ern plains. This singular plant has
metallic leaves, and its petals point con-
stantly to the north. 1t can be readily
understood, therefore, that these plants
have proved, on numerous occasions,
to be of inestimable benefit to travellers
who have strayed from their camps or
companions and found themselves lost.
A traveller says that, in 1860, while he
was on his way to the Rocky noun
tains by n wagon train, he and some
companions, who had left the camp on
hunt for antelope, lost their way,
upon the sudden approach of the dark
stormy night. They knew that Their
train was encamped about ten miles tc
the northwest of the place where they
were.
The night was as dark as pitch, anG
they were beginning to be alarmed
when one of the party happened tc
think of the compass plant and its won
derful popularity. They at once dis
mounted and CROPPED about, until a
last one of them found the familiar
leaves of the plant.
Then they were able to turn theil
horses heads in the right direction to
ward the camp, which they reached il
about two hours, but not until they
had dismounted several times to fee
among the leaves of their friendly
guide to make sure of their course
