He had his stenographer with him. The

DRINKS THAT ARE POPULAR
Women Like Orange and Egg Phesphnte-A
"i1innie 6urns' Is Refreshing

The two rival drinks sold over the
soda water counter are orange phos-
phate and egg phosphate. In the shop
ping district as many as thousand
glasses of orange phosphate are sold
day, and when one considers the fond
ness of women for ice cream soda, this
speaks very we'll for the popularity of
the phosphate.
Another drink much in favor this sea-
son is Concord grape juice The woman

in no sense intoxicating. Celery phos-
phate is a new drink with which the
weary shopper frequently revives her

which is declared to be a very popular
drink with women. That they live to
sing its praises only goes to prove their
capacity for standing much. 1t is
sweetened soda water composed of the
juice of walnut%and chocolate syrup.
Almond cream;is another soda water
high in favor. Sherbet is new and much
drunk 1t is made of three syrups-
pineapple, raspberry and orange skill
fully mixed. OF course the devotion of
women to ice cream soda is an old
story. They are ready to drink it morn
ing. noon and night. And it has come
to be as much a, fad among them to al
ways order one particular flavor for
their soda as it is to use one perfume
in preference to all others. Allthe fruit
syrups are in constant demand, and ma
pie and chocolate are both popular fla

CALIFORNIA; OLDEST SETTLER
His Name Is Narcio Sebastian and He Lives at
Santa Rosa

| The Santa Rosa correspondent of the
| San Francisco Examiner writes that
paper as follows:
Narcio Sebastian, the old French Ca
madam who came to Santa Rosa to die
has held quite a levee since his arrival.
AS was told in the Examiner yesterday,
Sebastian is one of the oldest white set
tiers in California, and after a storm
tossed life spent in many towns of the
golden west, he has come to Santa Rosa
to make his last home and wait for the
angel of endless sleep who has so often
passed him by.
The old man is settled in rose-cov-
cred cottage near the edge of the town.
His old horse, the companion of almost
a score of years, is turned out to Craze
| and the home made wagon in which Sc
| baStian drove to town stands at ease
| in the back yard, its cracking joints al
| rest probably forever. The old man
built the wagon himself forty years
ago, and has Travelled in it wherever he
went ever since He came to Santa
Rosa to find friend of his youth. Julio
| Carrillo, hut Julio had died some time
ago and Sebastian, finding friends who
| were glad to see him, said that he would
| wander no more.
| The old man can no longer see to read,
although he understands French, Span
| ish and English thoroughly; and he is
content to sit and smoke his cigarette
under the trees on the lawn, while he
| tells the stories of other days. Sebastian
confesses to S5 years, having been born
| in Canada in 1911. He was kidnapped by
a sea captain when little more than a
| baby, and was carried around the Horn
| and left at Yerba Buena. What led the
| seaman to carry him away from his
! northern home Sebastian himself can
not tell but there is behind the old mans
| simple story a possibility of romance
such as has seldom fallen within the
grasp of western novelists.

1t is safe to assert that there will be no
bond issue at present probably not until
after the election. The New York banks
are displaying an amount of discretion SO
unusual that it can only be ascribed to
wholesome fear of public opinion. If they
were not thoroughly alarmed, they would
not come to the rescue of the treasury or
to state it differently. they would not stop
for a time the operation of the endless
chain. For two or three years past these
bankers have been zen, drawing the gold 9ut % Of

Here is a particularly attractive little
book by the author of Inspiration and
One Mans Thesis. Few more hopefui
books ever came into the hands or young
men than Inspiration, and the volume
before us is very much like it in its sim
pie directness and high purpose. The
first half of the book is made up of es-
says and poems. and the rest of quota
tions and suggestions. Life, the ideal
life, the balanced life, is the refrain or
the whole theme, and we can hardly
think of a volume of its pretentions
more worthy or valuable in shaping
it and maintaining high standard. IL

THE MONETARY AND BANKING
PROBLEM. BY Logan G. McPher-
son. u. Appleton & Co.
This volume handsome and of very
convenient size. is made up from series
of articles published in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly during the current
year. with some additional chapters and
the greater elaboration OF the original
text. 1t comprises seven chapters, ana
is a candid, tolerant and able presenta-
ton of the problems involved in the
pending political canvass. The most
interesting topics treated are The
Standard of Value and Bimetallism. But
the burden of the argument is in favor
of some sound system of banking that
will remove the present friction between
the two metals and restore confidence
to business. The author, while foresee-
ing difficulties in the single use of gold,
nevertheless fears disaster if silver coin
age be not, on account of government or
otherwise, restricted. 1t is simple,
strong book.
