Serge Bicycle Suits, Poplin and Alpaca
Travelling Gowns.

There is new cycling skirt. Its chief
feature is the detachable panel The front
and back panels are buttoned to the side
parts of the skirt, and a strap at each side,
which fits the foot, keeps the skirt in place.
When not riding, it is available for walk
ing purposes by a simple Encouragement Of
buttons. This sensible and clever skirt is

whether the skirt be worn with them or
not, it is rather amusing to look back q
year or SO and recall what fuss was made
over their first adoption. There can be no
doubt that they are vastly more proper for
bicycling than petticoats of frilled muslin.
Serge or other hard twisted weaves Of
cloth are better for bicycle suits than fan

went to live with her son, Dr.. Thomas
Peck, who died a short time ago at the
age of 70 years. Mrs. Jacob S. Muller,
Of this city, was a grand daughter OF
the deceased.
All the old residents Of this city re-
member Mrs. Peck. She taught q
school for boys and girls for over fifty
years, and numbers Of citizens of
both sexes went to school to her.
Born in 1902, she very early imbibed
the patriotic spirit of those stirring
times, and she has often related to3her
scholars how, when she was young
lady, she strewed flowers in front of

to Columbia in 1925. In many in

The recent cold snaps have been
most destructive in Florida, the mer.
curry reaching the lowest point on re-
cord. Orange trees are nearly all
killed and the pine apple interests in
dsplorable condition. The cultivation
Of the latter has recently been pushed
far up in the State and had become an
important industry. It is estimated
that forty per cent of the pine apple
plants were killed by the first freeze
and those left were damaged to such
an extent that very little fruit could
reasonably be expected. The present
cold wave, reported more severe than
the first, has probably destroyed the
remaining. This is bad news from
the sunny land Of flowers whose
people have been congratulating them
selves upon having felt none of the
depression Of the hard times. Now,
however, they will have to fall in the
procession and move on to the doleful

GOVERNOR EVANS has found that the
system Of bookkeeping used by the
dispenssries is not satisfactory and ne
proposes TO look into the matter and
reorganize and reconstruct the machin-
cry of the department. This is proper.
It is remembered that no intelligent
statement could be gotten out of the
published reports during the last cam
paign. Charges Of fraud were made
and as often denied but the figures
were so mixed that no two account
ants could get the same results from
them. This is all wrong, and the ad-
ministration owes it to the public and
to themselves to see that a complete
system is used. This can easily be
done if the selection be submitted to
competent accountants. The Cover
nor is right and no doubt will have the

be maintained by the issue Of gold

The chill of the evening was sufficient
to make a rather poor excuse for camp
fires in the canyon. The campfres, in
their turn, made an excuse for garrulity,
and more than one of the grandpapas and
grandmammas gathered about them and
dropped into "reminiscences suggested by
the scene.
Them Indians camped down below re-
minds me of something that happened to
me long time ago." began good old Mrs.
Butterfield.
"Of course, it was a long time ago.
Lemrne see = father and mother came
across the plains in 80, when / was Just
turned 6 years old. 1t was seven years
after that that got carried off by Indians.
"You see, when we first went to Marys-
vile there wasn't another white family
nearer than Inskip, and that's good forty
miles.
"We'd come all the way from Vermont
with party of emigrants, and on account
of being strangers in the country we had
gone long way up in the Sierras looking
for short cut to the valley, so we were all
pretty sick of travelling, and when mother
came to fine spring OF water she said she
was going to have house beside it, if she
had to build it herself.
ssThe rest of the party was for ,etting to
the valley before spring, so they divided
up the things, and the men helped father
make the clearing where our old home
stands yet.
Everybody lent hand toward putting
up the little three-roomed cabin where we
lived for nigh twenty years. and when it
was done and we was settled down as well
as we could be without anything to settle
with they all said good.by to our folks and
started for the valley.

Father used to meet the bucks when he

apiece every day, when report came that
a woman in Sacramento had found the
source of the gold.
You see, we were an ignorant set, and
we believed that the gold had been thrown
up from some sort of volcano and that ii
we could find the source there would be
enough metal to satisfy our greed. 4
committee was started for Sacramento to
interview the woman, and [ was mem Der
of it.
I'VE were quite enthusiastic at the pros
pect of seeing a white woman, and when
we found her young and good looking we
were ready to believe anything she told u.s.
She told a straight enough story, too, say
ing that while crossing the Sierras she and
her husband had followed up a narrow
canyon in search of green feed for the
stock. They found fresh grass, and after
awhile they came upon beautiful clear
lake, upon the shores of which Indians
were living in gold houses.
"She showed me hatfull of gold the
nuggets varying from the size of pea to
that OF an egg. Some of it was mixed with
quartz, and the woman said there was a
spur of quartz mixed with gold running
out into the lake, and that it was from
the same sort of rock that the natives had
built their beautiful houses. The men of
this woman's party were supposed to be
gone to San Francisco to equip for return
to Gold Lake, but the woman cheerfully
gave us explicit directions about reaching
it and we started post haste.
''After few days hard travelling we be-
gan to meet prospectors coming down the
mountains who had investigated for them
selves.
'.They found that Gold Lake existed
only IN the imagination OF woman, whose
reasons for deceiving us | have never been
able to guess.
My partners and 1 started back toward
San Francisco, climbing up and down the
mountain peaks instead of going around
them, because we knew no better. One
weary night threw myself down upon the
hillside, hopeless of ever getting back
among my fellow-men.
"The handiwork of nature was grand,
impressive and oppressive. L felt myself
too small and weak to fight my way over
the giant hills and l expected to perish
