II Great Britain holds any trump cards
in the Greek game she must lead the m
now or lose the stakes.
The Christian Endeavorers will find in

deavor to give them the best time they

Some Of the Democratic organs play the
tunes of the calamity howlers with great
vigor, but they never quote statistics. The
figures are against them.
It is Dleasanter to camp out in California
during the holidays than to dwell at a
princely price in the summer resort sweat
shops of any other part OF the world.
Lakeport will be the center of attraction
this week and all will be happy who ret
near enough TO the center to find them

make Great Britain regard the whole

At an interior rose carnival there is to

flying way of getting striped than the old

d'mical question by diplomatic debating

serves 10 have its centenary celebrated in
grand style. Civilization on this coast
began with the missions and we can never
give too much honor to the memory OF
those who established them.
Calhoun's report concerning the condi-
tion of affairs in Cuba confirms all that

dependence of The island and strengthen
the opinion that our Government should
interpose its friendly offices for the rur-
pose of putting an end to useless and
cruel struggle.
The people in the temperance town of
Pacific Grove, having seen an inverted
rainbow in the midni-ht sky, have re-

Queens jubilee, but they have given

under their most delightful aspects. Read
our advertisements and you will find
among them some resort which will fur
