H. Jevne. the Spring. street grocer
l read The HERALD this morning with
good deal Of interest, and imagine that
most other business men di the same.
do not believe there is more impor,
tant sld OF operation for those who
have the interests of Southern Califor.
mia at heart. than in the agitation OF
closer trade relations with the counties
of Central California.
1t is evident, too. that the middle
counties appreciate the advantages of
being allied with Los Angeles in q trade
way, and this fact alone must be grati~
flying to the citizens OF L3s Angeles and
convincing to those who have doubted
our trade supremacy. This city. because
it has two lines of overland railroads,
is etter adapted to bscoms the distrib-
uting point OF the greater half OF Cali
fornia than any other citv in the state.
We are progressing rapidly. and when
the Nicaraguan canal ia completed my
belief is that Los Angeles will become a
greater city than San Francisco. In
the meantime we must work for the
central counties trade and chow them
that We at least appreciate our own i'm
portance. They have made overtures to
ia, and now it is our duty to extend to
them hearty welcome.

a live city and that its citizens will
always be found on ths alert whenever
any great enterprise is to be accom-

which always bow and submit to the

would be significant. so much so that
capital would naturally turn in this di'

CHILDREN'S DAY.

Last Sunday morning the children held sway at both the Pilgrim and tine Methodist churches. At the Pill grim church a solid wall or bank of roses, daisies, laurel and ferns extended across the entire front of the platform. The bank was about six feet high and reached from the floor to the top of the desk. On each side of the platform were tables covered with large and beautiful boquets. The program of ex- ercises entitled "The Child in the Midst" was fully carried ont. The singing and recitations by the little ones were very fine, and the Rev O. D. Milliken made appropriate remarks and by means of glasses containing pure water. muddy water, ink, etc. he gave an object lesson on Character"
 The Methodist church was elaborate ly decorated with flowers. ferns and fo- liage plants, and resembled floral gar- den. Iu front of the altar rail stood a large cross made of white field daisies, suggesting the thought that Gods plan of salvation included the cross and he also provided the flowers to form this particular cross. The exercises were according to the program entitled cover the Fields" except that recita- tions were omitted as well as some of the hymns. Rev B. Seeholzsr made an interesting address to the children.

They Met in Heaven.

'Tis in the woodland and peaceful dale, That sweetly sings the nightingale, And from early evening till very late, The whiP-poor-will calls to her mate. And brightly twinkles the evening star, As the queen of the night shines from afar, While the crickets softly sing sweet lullaby, As the soft summer winds pass gently by. And in the stiffness of the night, Meath the moons soft sombre light, A mother knelt in silent prayer, With face so pale and silvered hair. Silently the tears fell fast, As she sadly thought of the happy past, Those bright happy days of golden yore, Which are alas alas no more. While she wept as only mothers can, With her lovely face SO pale and wan, She prayed to again her only son see, Who had sailed far across the deep blue sea. And God heard the prayer of that loving
 heart,
 Who of pain and sorrow had her part, For ere dawned the golden sun upon many
 hours,
 Her body was resting meath the bright sweet
 flowers. And whilst the autumn breezes were gently
 signing, In foreign land boy lay dying, And in an instant all was OCT, And he who was will be no more. And when his spirit had winged It's flight, Thro' the gloomy path of deaths dark night Twas met at heavens bright golden door, By his sainted mother, who had gone before

Both Liked One Fellow.

We met, we passed, we did not speak. She tossed her head as she went down the street, I, equally naughty, passed her by; Who was in fault2 Of course not I. Out in the evening we snubbed each other, We who had been such friends together If near each other we chanced to be, Each would have something far off to see. If in the same set we happened to dance, Each shot at the other a passing glance. If our eyes ever met their hatred would color, All just because we both liked one fellow. Which came out first in the tempest whirl? Why bless youi He married another girl.

Only a Violet.

'Tis only withered violet Dropped from an old, old book; And do not know who treasured This flower of the grassy nook. But I handled the little keepsake. With reverence true and kind For the hand that pressed the flowers In that book of olden time. It may have come from the meadow Fresh from the morning dew, Or may have been brought by a lover With heart both tender and true. It may have come from the graveyard, From beside some friend most dear, And perchance on it's withered petals Has fallen briny tear. It may have brought memory In some wearied and tired brain. Or it may have carried some crushed heart Back to it's childhood again. And in days that are long now forgotten It may have been comfort to look On the dear little withered violet. Which lay in the old, old book.

 The Canaans opened the game with Riano in the box but the Berkshire Tigers found his curves and Dnpee was substituted in the third inning. The Ssdewicks played good game. while on the other hand many of the Csnaans played very bad ball The umpiring of Strevelle was something very terrible and was worthy of blind man. His sight must be twisted and it was pain fully apparent that he came from Ct Burlington. Rhoades gave excellent satisfaction. Morton, Dupee and the baby (Reg. Heber) played good ball for Canaan. The Sedgwicks all played we'll, especially Ticnor.
 What for four innings promised to be good game of ball was played here Saturday between the Robbins School and the Canaan Academy. In the fifth inning the Norfolkers went to pieces and from then on could not regain their nerve. Rev Thompson's students play ed fine game and left the Robbins far in the rear. The score:
