are found even IN quiet SdcfaHeHlO'
Even the women are beginning TO talk
of the feasibility of pursuing different
occupations of womankind and reaplng
golden harvests therefron- Seam
stresses are discussing probable prices
for their trade and one woman was
heard to say she should go to klon-
dyke and make bread for the miners,
and she'd warrant she'd come back as
rich as any of them. Speaking OF
bread reminds me of an interesting
argument on the subject heard from the
lips of two very wise youngsters OF
nine and ten, a fragment of whose
conversation was waited into a certain
garden one evening as they passed up
the street.
I tell you, you don't know nothin'
about it,
DO too-guess I've seen um make it
plenty o. times"
We'll, 1 bet yer can't tell how to
do it just the same"
Can too. Course 1 can"
well, what's in it if yere so smart?'
well, yer jest take some water and
some flour and some kind O. grease and
a few other things
and the interesting recipe for bread was
lost to the world as far as the amused
listeners were concerned. Ignorance
on the art of bread making is not, how
ever, as one might suppose, confined to
the youngsters of this enlightened age.
A society lady Of our city whose
financial losses had reduced to the ne
cessity of doing much Of her own
housework, was complaining to an old
housekeeper of the difficulty she ex-
perienced in making bread fit to eat.
why it's as hard as a rock!" she ex-
claimed-"and I'm so careful. l don't
see what can be the matter"
How do you mix it?" asked her
friend. why always put the yeast
right into hot water
'Ah. that's the secret of the whole
matter" exchanged the older lady. 'Y on
killed your yeast to start with. Try
mixing it with tepid water and tell me
the result" A week later they met
again. "Well?" inquired the friend
and adviser Of the young housekeep-
er. Il don't know whether it's well
or not" laughed she. They all like
my bread so well 1 can't make it fast
enough for them"
Another Of our Sacramento girls soon
to leave us is Miss Belle Morton who
will follow the fortunes of a young
lawyer of Nevada City. Miss Nor
ton will be greatly missed in Sacra-
mento as she is one Of the most gen
orally liked of any of our host of
charming girls. 1 was asked not long
since while sojourning in a distant
city, rs it really true, as 1 hear so Of
ten, that Sacramento has the largest
number of pretty girls in the State?'
and answered Il think so, and other
people seem to be of my opinion. They
seem to be in great demand at any
rate. But come to Sacramento and
judge for yourself"
George Reynolds is so far GONZALES

the qualms incidental to a trip by sea

used to the idea that the ground was
not rolling hilariously about under
their feet when they landed.
