LEFT MONEY TO BUY CANDY.
School Children OF Los Gatos Have a
Biennial Feast.

One of the very earliest settlers of
Oakland was George w. Teasdalo, and
on account of the peculiar nature of
his will, made many years ago, the
school children of Los Gatos were en-
abled to-day to enjoy a unique Memoir
al day.
He hal not been very long resident
of this city before he moved to Los Ga
tus, ami hardly anybody here now re-
lnembers Mr. Teasdale. lie was pi-
oDeer IF the Santa Clara county town,
ond, being somewhat eccentric, he left
peculiar will when he died, % years
ago.
At his death he bequeathed all the
wealth he possessed, the sum of 5000, to
The school children of Los Gatos, to be
placed in bank at San Jose and the in
teYcst to be drawn annually for the pur-
chase of candy, to he distributed equally
among all the boys and girls of tbs
schools of the town.
For the first few years after Mr..
Teasdale's death the exact terms of the
strange will were faithfully carried out,
put of late years the scholarship of the
SCHOOL has become so large that the
money was found to be inadequate for
the purchase of sufficient candy for such
q host of Youngsters.
The situation was perpleNing until
Mrs. Emma f. Cole, the head teacher Of
the school, proposed that the distribu.
ton only take place every alternate
Decoration day, and her proposition
heartily met the approval of the trus-
tees.
The only request of any kind made in
connection with the gift was that his
little friends would see that his grave
was never neglected nor destroyed. On
every Memorial day it is beautiful
sight to see the children decorating his
grave with the choicest flowers that

FORTUNE MAKING IN MEXICO.
Thrifty Americans. Once Poor, Now Enjoy
Princely incomes.


Princely incomes.
You need not starve on the Mexican
TERRA caliente. Everything you need
for your table you may have without
much trouble. You can raise chickens
and have eggs al lib, and you can grow
yams and fruit and corn, and your own
tobacco if you wish, and drink of your
own coffee, and make your own sugar
to sweeten it withal! You may not be
rich, you shall not put in fourth OF
the work that is needed in cuItivating
you will be fat and hearty. Corn grows
down on the isthmus like the blessing
of God, as the Spanish saying has it.
You will see it being harvested from
one field while il is two feet high in an
adjoining field, and, in another, is just
shooting up out of the ground.
Herman Cortez, the conqueror of
Mexico, was no fool when he struck
for the isthmus TO locate his big es-
tates. 1t is the rich soil, and now it has
n railway from ocean to ocean, and, as
President Diaz said the other day, on
his ~eturn from that country, the 18TH
mus is fertile enough to support ma
ton. There is, says the president,
room for another New York at Al
varade, on a splendid bay, and some day
believe we shall see great city there,
for it VIII have all that magnificent
agricultural region behind it.
One does not wish to paint every
thing rose color, and surely the life re-
mote from towns, the quiet of the
country and the society of but few of
ones own race, do not constitute an at
tractive prospect for most men; but, as
l must insist. there is independence
from hard grinding conditions in trop-
ical agriculture. A few cases in point:
A friend of mine came here many years
ago, married a charming Mexican girl,
has pretty family, and after drifting
from one thing to another, hit on sugar,
and now he is in receipt of an income OF
81 900 a month. He tells me life is very
sweet, and that he goes TO Europe next
year.
Another friend was drifting about the
streets of this old City of Mexico, doing
almost nothing. Hse began to think OF
the hot country and what it might
offer, took the train, got down there,
explored, took up little land, and now.
after four years, would not sell his pos
sessions at less than 100000. He Is a
sugar and coffee planter.
Another man, q surgeon, with rail
way practice, threw up the saw and the
scalpel, and is now making sugar and
$4,000 year at the same time. He says
he is only beginning, and that in two
years more he shall pass his summers
yachting off the New England coast.
These are specimens. They have had
their trials and their obstacles to over
come. But they had pluck, fertility
of resource, tact in handling the native
laborers. and they are now independent
men, who need not ask of any man q
dollar.-BoSton Herald.

VAST STRENGTH IN HIS ARMS
New York Cripple Who Has Lost the Use
of His Legs.

1t is well-known fact that nature
makes partial amends for the loss OF
one faculty by strengthening those lief;
to us. The loss of sight is followed by
an extraordinary acuteness of the
sense of sound. There are several blind
men well known about New York who
thread the crowded sections of Broad
way with apparently as much ease as
those who can see. They go about fear
lessly, ignoring the dangers of cable
cars, trucks and trolleys without even
the assistance of the traditional dog,
trusting wholly in the sound of the
staff on the pavement.
There is a cripple who haunts the
vicinity of Seventy-first street and First
avenue, propelling himself on a crude
little board on wheels by means of his
hands. His withered limbs are twisted
up beneath him, useless from birth.
But his powerful arms take the place OF
both legs and feet. He can roll along
through the crowded thoroughfares.

and certainty. He is known TO the en-.
