With a mischief in her eye,
Half demure and half inviting,
Melting, wayward, wistful, shy.
Four bright ewes that found life lovely
And forgot to wonder why.
Four warm lips at one love-lessou,
Learned by heart so easily.
We gained something of that knowledge
No man ever vet put by,
But his after days of SORROW
Left him nothing but to die

Down the hurrying world went I;

Express is not oratorical, but evidently
it knows gooo thing when it sees it and
accordingly makes some discriminating
excerpts from the speech to grace Its

But if the Express is not oratorical it
is not slow in imaginative fiction. Work

WHERE HAS 1T GONE?

1t is a notorious fact that the roads of
this county. which are under the iuris
diction of that august body, the board
Of supervisors, are an abomination, an
eyesorc. Yet it is fact that on these
selisame roads S29s ,3l6.05 was expended
between January l, 1891, and June 30,
1895. This sum i. by no means a trit1e.
/ is in fact gigantic. If it had been prop.
srly expended Los Ang eles county would
today have one OF the great desiderats of
good government-good roads. But the
m oney has not been either iudiciously or
honestly expended. 1t has been given
out by the autHoritie. on every side with
out any regard for the results obtained
or for the public good. The principal de-
sire of the supervisors seems to have been
to get the money out of thu treasury and
into the hands OF their friends. In this
they have succeeded.

less than $40. There has usually been an
enormous waste OF fruit IN tho part OF the

neries near and the cost OF home out
fit was SO high as to make it Improbable
for an ordinary farmer to own one. The
Southern Yankee made n boiler out OF
galvanized iron for the bottom and wood
for tbs sides, furnace out of sheet iron
and trays, crane and other utensils from
wood. This apparatus was so successful
that he was able last year to can over
-, 900 packages OF tomatoes. and this year
he will DO much more. His neigh Sors
are havin him fit them out out also and
a considerable local industry has grown
up as the result of his ingenuity. HIS
name is s. L. Felleis and his home is in
