CANNOT GIVE A PLAT.
Haywards Veterans Are An.
swered by a Cemetery
Trustee.
The Old Home Guard Did Mt Pro-
cure Their Graves Free of
Cost.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FnANc1sco CALI

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, July II. I
The story published in The CALL a few
days ago regarding the inability of the
Haywards G. A. r. veterans to obtain a
soldiers plat at Lone Tree Cemetery has
called forth much discussion.
H. w Rice, who is one of the trustees of
the cemetery, says that the facts are not
fully understood.
"When the Hay wards Guard disbanded
they had $500" said Mr.. Rice to-day.
Each member was entitled TO an equal
share of this money. Some of the men,
bers suggested that a library be estab-
Hshed for the town. Others thought to
have it divided among the members, but
when it was mentioned that they estab-
lish cemetery ana vote was taken it
was unanimously resolved that the money
should be used for that purpose and the
Gem etery be for the town Of Haywards.
at was thought that each member of
the guard should have o small lot free,
but when it was found that the land cost
$500, the fencing $3.50, surveying and lay
ing out lots $403, besides tank, windmill,
trees, tools and many other wants too
numerous TO mention, the tive trustees
found it necessary to take money out of
$50 for small lot at the same price that
they sold 20 any other citizen. No lots
were ever given away, and no person ever
donated any money to the cemetery.
THE trustees gave their time 10 help
Boardman do tue surveying and furnished
stakes and sharpened them, all without
cost TO the cemetery. Money was hired at
high rate OF interest but afterward was
found at a lower rate. The five trustees
gave their joint note for the loan. The
trustees do not refuse to meet the Veter-
ans. The communication from the Vet
Grams suites, Should you be willing to
consider the proposition the undersigned
committee will be glad 10 meet you
The trustees OF Lone Tree Cemetery had
no power 10 do what was asked, therefore
it was not necessary to have meeting"
1t is thought that if the Veterans and
cemetery trustees come together that
plan can be arranged that will be mutually
agreeable.

Committee-No Class Flag
Regatta Held.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July 1.-THE COM
bined committees of the Oakland and Ala
media public bodies visited Colonel Suter
this morning. They received from that
gentleman the distinct assurance that for
this year at least there is no hope of his
attending to the tidal canal. The whole
of the appropriation of $4,000 is to be
used on Oakland harbor, and none will be
diverted to the canal work.
When asked if the canal could not be
pumped out by the Federal authorities,
he referred the deputation to the Secretary
of War.

the mother, Mrs. John Griest, OF Tunden,
North Sohleswig, Germany, to Judge ELS

son and his property.
The letter was written in German, and
stated she was old, feeble and almost PEN

as seafaring man. He acquired some
money and came to California, where he
invested It soon afterws-d. She heard OF
his death, but never learned where ne had
invested his earnings. She thought he
might be in Alameda County.
This morning it was ascertained that
one NJ L. K. Wind. the name given bv
Mrs. Griest, had died in San Francisco in
1895. p G. Larsen was named executor
by Mr.. Wind in his will. which bequeathed
all of his property to Mrs. jacobson. 1t

The estate was closed up long ago, but

the race held under the auspices of the
San Jose Cycling Club at San Jose in De-

of her open challenge, she said: ~ now

had novel experience when the overland
train came in the other night. She was
met by gentleman who attempted to
en- brace her and who persisted in his de
termination till he was slapped.
Rev and Mrs. J. Small went to the train
to meet the wife of Rev. George w.
Sweeney, who has come to Oakland on a
visit to friends. They were accompanied
by Mrs. Spence, also a friend of Mrs.
Sweeney.
When the passengers alighted gentle
man rushed up TO Mrs. Spence and was at
tempting to embrace her when she re-
sented.
You've made mistake, sir" said the
iadv.
"Oh, no, hav en- IT," said the gentleman,
laughing.
AS he spoke he made another advance
toward the lady.
'But you have" said the lady.
The gentleman was only encouraged by
the lady's opposition, and again prepared
TO renew his demonstration OF affection.
Mrs. Spence was very much worked w
and protested strongly, but with no re-
suit favorable TO herself The man refused
to be convinced that be had made mis-
take.
As he made final attempt, Mrs, Spence
was forced to resort to a display of bellig-
erency, and she administered 10 her per
sistent admirer heavy blow IN the face.
This had the desired effect, and the gen.
tleman went off. Mrs. Spence says that
lie undoubtedly mistook her for some one
he expected to meet and would not be con-
WINGED that he had made a mistake. She
is now wondering who the lady is that
bars such resemblance to her, and is on
the lookout to guard against any similar
demonstration in the future.

The wit Of Benjamin Franklin
was proverbial In his day, but new
er was 1t exhibited to such excel,
lent advantages as at great dinner
given by the prime minister of
France TO a number OF mobiles and
ambassadors, during the time that
Franklin represented the United
States at the French court.
The sumptuous feast was disposed
of IN courses and when the time
came for toast making, the English
ambassador, clad in his gorgeous
uniform, arose and said; "Here's to
Eng land, the sun that lights the
world"
The Frenchman's turn. came next
and rising, he said "And here's
to France, the moon that rules
wherever the sun does not"
Almost a breathless silence fol.
lowed. 1t was FrankIin's tnrn, and
although everyone present had either
heard of or heard his great witt,
clsms and puns, yet they did not see
what he could now say for his own
country
Slowly rising, he lifted his glass
with an air of dignity and SAID;
"And here's to America, the Joshua,
who commanded the sun and moon
to stand still and they stood.n
His hearers were bomb struck, in
lact, almost as much so as England
was when young America reaged up

BILE and enjoyable, and yet there Is
much about farm homes that could
be improved upon.
The hope of the farmer is in his
home and household. The farm,
er's home is the place where he and
his household should live and love.
Too often does the farmer, while
supplying his farm with all the latest
labor. saving implements, wholly neg
lect to provide helps to tighten the
labor in the household.
Generally the most important part
of the household, the kitchen, is
scantlly supplied with utensils and
the meals are served and eaten like
they were Unnecessary evil" to be
gotten through with as rapidly as
possible.
As matter Of fact the kitchen Of
the farmer is capable of the greatest
possibilities. Material necessary to
the preparation of all articles Is in
abundance. The farmer can have
the best of everything and 1t is his
due, He should not only have the
best articles of food, but prepared
for his appetite in the best and most
wholesome manner.
Farmers ought not to be too busy
to live the best lives that car. be lived
in the best possible wav. A great
deal depends upon the development
of the home, and 1t depends almost
entirely upon one who follows tie
highest and no5lest profession of
home making, the wife and mother.
The hope Of the farmer is to attain
a higher standard of living and no~
bier better life. The hope of the
farmer is IN his sons and daughters,
because they can be educated and
become all that they are capable oe
becoming.
Right living on the farm Is in itself
an educational force. The honest
tl!ler of the soil, although attired IN
the homely garb of a farmer. Is as
truly king as the eloquent orator or
the gifted lawyer or y acher, The
farmers wife or daughter who wash
es the dishes and cooks the meals, IS
a queen among women. That work is
excellent where brain IS used, and
brain is good as far as the proper
food for its nounshment is given.
Even the most menial duties require
the exercise Of the brain to perform
them. Thought put into work gives
dignity and power to the laborer.
10 attain the fulf!lment of his
hopes, the farmer should at once be,
gin the programme of living really
and truly at home, While keeping
abreast of the times with all the mod
ern appliances for operations on the
farm, let him supply his house, espe.
clally his kitchen with the best pro-
ducts of the farm, garden and
orchard for his own table In doing
this he will not only advan Q. hls own
interests, but that of the whole coun>
try. Southern CuItivator.

the Farmers HOPE.

The condition Of the farmer and
his home interests is the basis of the
thought at the present day, 1t is the

and Of earnest work, In the very
nature Of things, this is right, As a
