A Word From California.

We are in receipt OF a cordial letter
from Hersey +. Lord, Manager Of the
Berryessa Fruit Growers Union of
San Jose, Cal. which brings refresh
ing message from the land where flow
ers bloom on Christmas day and the
snow drift findeth not a place to lay
his head
Mr.. Lord speaks in this pleasant
fashion of the JOURNAL:
1--WE Californians, once Wisconsin
ties, feel that we cannot dispense With
our old friend, the River Falls Jour-
nal. 1t comes to us here like a weekly
letter from hundreds of old acquaint-
ances. 1t is, in fact, the only medium
of correspondence, as most OF those
from whom we occasionally received
letter have either moved from our ma
tive town or long ago forgotten their
friends on the Pacific slope. The
Journal is, consequently, one OF the
best friends we left behind, and when
the mail carrier drives up to the door
on "Wednesday morning THAT being
the day the Journal arrives) we are
anxious to tear off the wrapper and
read the Pierce county news"
Mr.. Lord characterizes the present
winter in California as delightful,
with a rainfall already reaching IL
inches, which is within 3 inches of
the annual average. In the opinion
of pioneer fruit growers, this insures
an abundant crop both of grain and
fruit, though Mr.. Lord remarks that
there is still danger of the April and
May frosts, which reduced the crop OF
90 by nearly one-half. Almond trees
are in full bloom, and apricot bios
SONS already begin to tint the high
lands with their delicate pink. Sue

used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our

they are urged on you as just as good

are not as good, because this remedy

The Normal Literary Society is
reaching out in all directions for the
enlightenment of a benighLed public.
In addition to carrying-with the aid
of a wee bit of direction on the part
of the faculty. to be sure-an elabor-
ate entertainment course whose
evenings have been OF sort hitherto
unknown even in this luxurious city,
the Society has now jumped on the
band-wagon with the nail and sugar
trusts, and purchased a newspaper.
or course the Society might have
organized a newspaper of its own, but
acting on the principle of all trusts,
it preferred to buy; and realizing,
besides, that a college newspaper
amounts to nothing without jolly
bulk of a debt, they fastened their
hawk-like talons upon the innocent
little Badger, and bought him out,
willy-nilly. debts, goose quilts and all,
for fifty dollars.

1t has been dimly rumored by
vagrant breeze or some gossipy
sparrow, that there was lately organ
lied in our innocent midst, informal
~, TO be sure, but with much burning
of wax tapers and in the blue light Of
alcohol, a secret society. 1t is further
limited by the loquacious sparrow that
the inaugural meeting was attended
by vague sounds of light revelry, which
came TO him, as he sat in the lilac by
the stone wall, in little showers Of
laughter, airy bursts of music. and
the lift and fall of winnowy foot steps.
And the sparrow tells this much with
a blithe conscience, and then adds
significantly that the secret society is
composed exclusively of girls and
there will soon be nothing left for
him to tell.
