"Why did you say the train wasn't going?"
''Well, it wasn't then," replied the wag, "but

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"Bear?" said Mr.. Ottinger, the cut-rate ticket
agent, last night, as he smiled over bone IN
the Palace grillroom. "Bear? why, helped
kill an I146-pound grizzly just week ago at
Wawona Old Jim Duncan. the slayer OF nine
ty-four bears, and I went out on horseback
about ten miles from town after grouse. We
walked five or six miles in the hottest weather,
and after getting six grouse and hundred
mosquitoes we thought of turning back. But

that ever saw. big pile of fur lay in heap
on the ground and the old hunter was just
about to stoop over it to jab his bowte-kn1fe
into it when the bundle rose up like flash
and let out blow that sent Jim's musket spin
ming fifty feet in the air. With that there was
the most exciting fight ever saw. The bear
reared up again and Duncan barely lodged its
claws. But bruin caught his clothes at the

my run and too surprised to 60 up and shoot

his feet got tangled in his torn clothes. He
fell fighting with the bear atop; but the

man extricated himself and sitting on the car

you credit for a great deal of GOODNESS for a

AS an afterthought Mr.. Ottinger remarked:
'I never realized that it was real live bear. I
thought it was Southern Pacific stuffer." A

OPINIONS OF EDITORS.

The great stagnation in business Is about
over and the wave of prosperity Is starting
things into life and activity all over the coun-
try. with good-paying wages for employees and
laborers and employment for all who desire it.
The better part of this new situation is that it
has.come to stay.-Yreka Union.
California possesses recognized advantages
of soil, climate and diversified industries
which render it the most desirable part of the
country for home-seekers, but if this State is to
compete with those farther east and obtain its
share of settlers it must leave nothing undone
to advertise itself and make the way easy for
those who would cast their fortunes within its
borders.-San Diego Union.
Fault-inding is one of the most pernicious
of vices, and one which is more general than
any other in almost every community. Yet if
those who indulge in this practice would just
try the opposite and speak of the good points
they find in others, they will experience much
more satisfaction of mind and leave better
impression upon those with whom they come
in contact.-AlbuquerQue IN. Mex.) Citizen.
The man who waits for ready cooked quail
on toast to drop right into his mouth never
gets q sandwich. bean sandwich consists of
one bean between two halves of an oyster
cracker. Nothing is ours If we do not hustle
ing the most public spirit, the towns with the
greatest amount of advertising, are the towns,
and the only towns, that get there.-W oodland
Reporter.
We would advise the manufacturers and pro-
ducers to do little advertising in the State
papers-make known their wares so that the
public may know what is produced and manu-
factured here. The Eastern manufacturers do
not ask for free advertising, but use the Pacific
Coast papers freely. The fact is that no one
person in thousand knows what is really
manufactured in the State because the manu-
facturers here do not use the papers.-San Fran
cisco Silver Advocate.
The proposition to urage consumption
of Pacific Coast man nufactured goods by appeal
ing to local pride and local interests is good so
far as it goes, but its practical benefits will de-
pend largely on the tact and energy displayed
by the manufacturers. 1t is not enough that
they produce articles of equal merit at reason
able prices; they must make that fact widely
known by keeping it constantly before the
public If they do not do this their Eastern
competitors WILL and will get the cream of the
business by so doing.
That the manufacturers of this coast are be-
ginning to bestir themselves and are seeking
for means to retain fair share of this market
for their products is hopeful sign, but they
will never be as fully successful as they should
be till they come to an understanding of the
fact that they must keep the inducements they.
have to offer consumers conspicuously and
persistently before the public.-Fresno Repub-
lican.

LADY SOMERSET COMING,
The Great English Temperance
Worker to Visit San Fran
cisco.
Miss Frances Willard, the National
President, VIII Probably Be
Here.

Lady Henfy Somerset, England's great
est temperance worker, is coming to San
Francisco. Information to this effect was
received by the local branch of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
Yesterday. The announcement of the
coming of so important a parsonage will
be received with delight by the earnest
workers in the cause of temperance re-
form throughout the State.
Lady Somerset is not coming now, but
in October, when the annual State con-
vention meets, when thousands of W. @.
It. u. women and sympathizers can give
her right royal welcome. 1t is not i'm
probable that Miss Frances E. Willard,
president of the National Women's Tenn
perance Union, will be here st the same
time, though her coming rests entirely
with the State organization. Miss
Willard has given out that she
securing the largest new membership
above 500, and the ladies of California are
straining every nerve toward securing
one of these visits. They hope to show
the largest new membership OF any State
in the Union, and the rapid manner in
which new names are being. added argues
well for their ambitious undertaking.
The presence of Lady Somerset at the
State convention in October will be the
means of creating an enthusiasm that will
spread itself throughout the Pacific Coast
States. No one, with the possible excep-
ton of Miss Willard is better qualified to
expound the teachings and work OF the
w. G. T. u. What she may tell the local
unions of the English way of reaching the
evils not countenanced by temperance
workers may prove vastly beneficial to
them. She is traveller of wide expert
ence, and with it all a close observer;
hence anything that she might say,
whether it relates to the cause to'which
she has devoted her life or not, would
prove interesting.

PArRoN1z1NG HOME INDUSTRIES.

If the San Francisco manufacturers expect
to hold their own against Eastern manufac-
ture RS let them use the same means that the
Eastern manufacturers do and thoroughly ad-
vertise their goods, says the Oroville Register
An advertisement placed in each county in
this State for goods manufactured in San Fran
cisco makes people awake to the fact that such
goods are for sale in the local stores. Why is
the Douglass shoe bought in this State? Be-
cause it is advertised, while the San Francisco
shoe is not. There is ten times more money
spent for local advertising in California by
Eastern manufacturers than by California
manufacturers. Let our home factories give
the local papers trial for six months and they
