Recently Mr.. Adam Fiscus, of Doug-
las township, said to the writer, "a
farmer has the best chance to be an in
ventor."
This statement by Mr.. Fiscus is not
random talk, but the word Of man
who knows whereof he speaks, he hay
ing taken letters patent on several
inventions which are useful and valu-
able.
The farmer uses many tools and
implements in his calling and why,
when the idea of an Improvement
comes to him, should lie not work it out
Such work can be done at odd times
and the idea can be tried without great
expense. If the invention prove labor
saving it is worth time and money to
the posessor whether he desises to sell
it or not. And should it be valuable
to others there would be no trouble to
dispose of it at a good advantage.
Any improvement on harvesting
machinery would be eagerly sought
after by any of the great manufactur.
ing companies. And any improve.
ment, that improves, for some so called
improvements do not do so, is a thing
needful.

could devise something useful and
valuable and thus help others and
themselves.

under the Australian system than their
neighbors. Pepper then proceeds to ex-
plain that the present mission OF the
1roquois is to educate members of the
party as to the requirements of the new
primary election law. The scheme is
good one. and Lannigan is beginning to
look to his laurels. He may apprehend
that Pepper and his clubs will soon be de-
nouncing the Solid Eight of the Board OF
Supervisors.
That Lannigan's following may be out
side of the Solid Eight has not been
clearly disclosed. He is progressive man
himself, and knows a thing or two about
local politics. John Daggett, Superin-
tendent of the Mint, who is not mixing to
any great degree in local affairs, is said to
be very friendly to Lannigan and Sam
Rainey. Lannigan has organized one club
In the Forty-fourth District, but the rumor
goes that the aim of the organizat ton is to
down John Fay in his aspirations for an
other term in the State Senate. 1t is
clearly understood that Fay and Pepper
will pull together, and, to down the SEN
ator, Lannigan may be forced by turn of
events to join hands with the Occi-
dentals.
John Wise, Collector of the Port, is not
taking an active part in local politics, but
his inclinations are toward the Iroquois
organization.

Scotland and paid millions-millions for a
park not as fine as this of ours, which we
had for the taking. And all the billions
in America could not stock it with game
and fish as ours is stocked. And here lie
100000 square miles on this coast quite as
fine-to be had for the taking, too. And
yet everybody wants everybody to go to
the dirty, dusty cities and stand there
and hold down the dingy old
street corners. Why don't the great
dailies of the cities stand by the honest
men of the country call them country

modern Babylon, Washington City"
'Bear, colonel, bear!'
And thus the Jolly old boys, rich now, as
rich in gold as in health, good-nature and
all the Injuries Of life, laughed away their
evenings at the Old Boys Club. And yet
they did not laugh in derision at the cease
less heart breaking of cities and their
short-sighted great dailies. but rather In
pity. They knew perfectly well that there
should be a return tide to the mountains;
that the wealth and happiness of the State
demand it, that the peace and prosperity
of society demand it; that the very life OF
every idle man, woman and child demands
that we shall not despise what the best

good, good to themselves and the world
They felt well over it, and the very sense
OF doing right in this brave great way
made them young and good and brave.
There had been some falterfng, it is true ;
some feeble feeling about for the old demi-
John for few days; yearning for the
1eshpots OF San Francisco, but it did not
last.
Old and abandoned water bitches were
opened and vineyards began to blossom
on many rocky, red hillside; the old
town began to widen and waken up, and
they organized a debating club, boys

baldles and graybeards in that little old
restaurant clubroom.

town. They made their own table wine,
did the merry old boys. The little fat old
French woman showed them how, or,
rather, she did it for them. She made it
in her back yard, made it in the good old
fashioned Bible way, by 'treading the
wine press"
tDog my cats! If she don't get right
into it with her naked feet" exclaimed an
old boy with a cracked voice who had been
peeping through crack in the board fence
one day as they sat slipping their claret at
dinner.
The colonel was sensitive when it came
to any doubtful allusion to the fat French
widow and he shouted back across the
table:
We'll, what if she does? She washes
her feet as soon as she gets done.'
There was shout, and the obtuse
colonel, not seeing anything to shout at,
cried in high key:
Eyes, she does; washes her feet just as
soon as she gets done, for I've seed her do
it lots of times"
Two of the rosy-red apple-faced girls
that had stood Oh the porch at Trinity
Crossing when the old stage trundled into
town with the jolly old boys had been
gathered in. The Old Boys Club was
losing its charter members fast now. The
mine was paying immensely. Little pal
aces began to blossom all up and down the
park. They were not being built for
nothing. And as the young Old Boys had
taken sort of aversion to cities and all
things there it was pretty clear that some
more red mountain apples would be gath
cred soon. This would make the old char
ter members still fewer The colonel be-
gan to scratch his bald old head. The
widow seemed to take malicious delight
in pointing out these newly planted
houses. She could see them when they
had hardly started from the ground, and
would call his attention to his prospective
isolation and desertion at the Old Boys
Club. One day she bluntly told him that
if this thing kept on she would leave the
place forever. OF course, he did not be-
lieve her.
A short time after that, as he went to the
French restaurant late for dinner, and
with his bag full of dust fresh from the
'clean up" he saw a great big blurred
sign on the old gatepost ''FUR SALE"
He pitched the heavy gold bag back in a
corner behind the big, lazy dog, threw his
hat on an old wooden peg and strobe back
into the kitchen, red-faced and furious.
Yes. she was going going far, far away.
This was all he could get out of her, and
he had to get that little as if with fish
hooks, for she was sobbing bitterly.
He kicked the cat that tried to purr
against his fat short legs as he came strid-

NOT A ROBBER.
Narrow Escape of Walter Smith, y
Young Man of Eruitvale.

Narrow Escape of Walter Smith,
Young Man of Fruityale.
Walter E. Smith, respectable young
man living with his parents at Fruitvale,
narrowly escaped being held for trial on
the serious charge of robbery.
On July Is Henry Widmar, 900 Kearny
street, was robbed on Kearny street near
Jackson of silver watch and $40. Smith
was arrested for the crime, and at the pre-
liminary examination before Judge Con-
Ian the only evidence discriminating him
was that of Annie Clifford, a woman now
in the City Prison on charge of grand
larceny.
The case looked bad for Smith, but when
it was again called, yesterday morning, it
was stated in court that Wldmar's stolen
property had been found in the possession
of the woman Clifford when she was
searched at the prison after her arrest for
grand larceny.
The Judge dismissed the case and
charge of grand larceny will likely be
registered against the woman Clifford.

French restaurant noted with silent
delight that the dear old boys were
drunken and made merry with something
better than brandy or wine. They roamed
about the garden, rested near the laden
trees, ,plucked the splendid grapes, such
grapes and behaved like lads let loose
from school. The good-natured old priest
came down from the little cross-crowned
perch on the sugar-pine hill and shared
their merriment and made them welcome
home. The schoolmaster, too, the doctor
and the preacher and others came, and
such plans! They made the old restaurant

promptly sent forward the "slnews of war"

against the monopoly, but the eloquent

Each man in the meantime had taken
piece of land, to he had for the taking, a

asduke. They had common garden, such
garden! but the deer, the pretty, pro-
tected deer were so tame and numerous
that their cabbage corn and melons were
fearfully foraged, and they could not shoot
them, as law abiding old boys.
The colonel's mind was magazine of
resources. He brought his fist down with
bang at the clubroom one night: Fence
the whole thousand acres in with wire;
then the deer are all our own, and we will
plant clover and corn right in our door
yards, and we VIII live in the park and be

top or anything the nearer you get to the
bottom; the exceptions are inverted glass
tumblers and other things that are upside
down. This is not from Victor Hugo, but
from Colonel Short.
The full dozen of bald and frosty-headed
old miners who had returned to Trinity
Center on the dusty old stage on the
evening before found themselves like boys
next morning. They were as merry as
meadow-larks and laughed and sang as
they had not sung during all the dozen or
twenty years of their absence. The sweet
morning air with its fragrant spice Of pine
and cedar and spruce was as wine; the
cool, clear water tumbling down out of the
clouds through the mighty canyons OF
cool woods right into the little town was
an intoxication more exhilarating than all
the city cocktails. Colonel Short forgot to
call for his morning bitters. The little
balance left in the demiiohn of the day
before was not in demand. The good fat
little old French lady of the queer little old

venienU season.
FISH Now look here, If was to tell
you for a cold, frozen fact that the fish,
great houndering fat salmon, actually
trod down and ruined a meadow strip of
alfalfa you might smile in derision. But it
IS fact. The salmon crowded up the
river and got into the fiume in such num-
bers that they became a nuisance. So a
dam of woven wire was drawn across the
river; but the salmon in trying to leap
this dam in running season would land on
the bank, and there bound and founder
about in the clover TIL it was ruined. See?
So please accept what is said here right
along, for these explanations take time and
precious space.
AS for trout, they were as plentiful as
the long green MOSES that swayed from
the great messy rocks. The. explanation
is that the coons, cougars, wildcats and
all clawed creatures that feed on fishes
had been driven back into the mountains,
and as man had, in measure, left Trinity
for years and devoted his manly strength
TO leaning over lunch-counters and hold
ing up the corners of cigar-stands in San
Francisco, only the fishes of all sorts were
left to literally fill the waters OF Trinity to
the very mountain tops of snow and
rivulets.
