Last night little purring kitten rub

has made pitiable show these many
weeks. 1t was the Kittens way of coax
ing Paul to come to say good night to
her, for Paul and kittie were the best of
friends She was the only bit of inside
life that Paul was ever friendly with.
Every night for weeks kittie had crept
s'hyly up to the barsof her old lion lovers
home, and when she mewed to him he
came forward and put his great shaggy
head as close to her as he could, and
they caressed each other.
Last night the kitten came, and rub
bing coaxingly against the bars mewed
all softly for her jungle lover to come and
say good night, Paul just lay still, his
head between his paws, and didn't notice
her at all. Tired Of coaxing him, the
faithful kitten stopped and just looked
and looked at the noble, great fellow
Finally, the keeper saw her do somethin e
that instinct never let her do before
She shyly crept through the big black
iron bars, and going in. caressed the
great bowed head in her most loving
way. But there was no response. Then

The Cure Of Village Hoodlumism

How to rid ourselves of this modern
plague Of village hoodlumism? Prof
Charles Eliot Norton Of Harvard Is
READY with his prescription. First, pa
rental discipline In the home; second.
moral training in the schools; third, q
courageous and effective enforcement
Of the laws by the town officers, backed
up therein by sound and stern public
opinion. On. this last and vitally i'm
portant point he said at the Ashfield din
ner, II venture to suggest that an effic-
lent means to this end would be the
organization of body of the better citi-
zens of each of our towns and villages
to give definite support to the town Of
ficials in their work of suppresing law
lessness in all its stages of stamping
out the rough and hoodlum, the savage
of our civilization, and worse enemies
of society than the Indian of two CEN
turtles ago."
These are grave words, wise words,
timely words. Few and fortunate are
the rural communities in New England
that have to look away from home for
proof of the truth and Importance of
what the professor has been saying.
We have our village improvement So
cieties. We have also our law and orde
leagues, devoting themselves almost ex-
clusively to the detection and suppress
sion of the Illegal sale of liquor. Some
thing more is wanted. For the work
indicated by the professor we need the
village protection society. This is a prac,.
tical suggestion, with sense and "busi-
ness" in it. 1t should attract wide at
tention. 1t should be widely adopted

SANTA SANTA PAULA FARMERS
CONCLUDE THE SERIES OF
INSTITUTES
A Strong Argument Presented in Fav-
or Of the Exchange System Of
Handling Fruit

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
SANTA PAULA, Sept. 4.-The sixth
and last farmers institute opened here
yesterday morning. T. L. Vance showed
great wisdom and keen discriminating
sense In his welcoming address. He no
tices growing tendency to educate the
boy for the farm. Education will make
farming more profitable, more inviting.
and will insure a conservatism in all
matters of governmental policy that will
help to keep the political and social ten
denotes in safe lines.
Hon. N. W. Blanchad's paper on Fer
tilization Of Orchards was very able.
Mr.. Blanchard believes he has secured
great good in the use Of commercial fer
tilizers. He shows his faith by his prac-
tice. as he has secured for the present
year 2400 pounds per acre of CONNER
cial fertilizers for his large 100-acre or
chard. He believes barnyard manure
makes coarse, puffy fruit.
Mr.. w. S. Richardson, president OF the
Southern California Beekeepers ex-
change, who has over 900 colonies Of bees
and who produced fifty-three tons Of
honey this season, discussed moving
bees to the bean field after the honey
season was over in the mountains. He
has moved as many as 500 colonies and
has practiced moving for three years
He thinks it pays we'll in seasons Of
drouth when bees get no honey from
sage, but does not pay in good seasons
like those of 1895 and 1897.
ar
with a good attendance The first paper
was ON Irrigation" by G. w. Faulkner.
While some still urge that irrigation
does not pay, Mr.. Faulkner stated that
the last dry year irrigation increased
his income more than $4,000. Mr.. Faux
ner showed that more water should be
used and could easily be secured.
Mr.. Touchton advocated the exchange.
He showed that the bean and lemon ex-
changes had done much for their men,
bers.
In the discussion Mr.. Mckee Of Bards-
dale said they formed an exchange last
year as a result Of their farmers insti-
tute at Fillmore. They united with the
Santa Barbara lemon exchange. Their
lemons netted them in the orchard $1.SS.
This was nearly a cent more pound
than their netghbors secured who re-
manned outside. They were very well
satisfied and the exchange would be
much stronger in numbers next year.
Mr.. Crumline said the higher prices
were consequent upon Santa Barbara's
reputation. Mr.. Mckee replied that the
Santa Barbara exchange reported their
lemons the best that they had shipped.
Mr.. Crumline, who seemed mildly crit
ical of the exchange, said he received
only 81 for his lemons, or IS cents less
than was secured in the exchange.

A New Railroad to Build

ARIzoNA's LOSS OF CRIMINAL
FAME
Irrigation Projects That Will Double
the Arabic Area Of the

anecial Correspondence to The Herald.
PHOENIX. Ariz.. Sept. 1.-TWO years
ago Arizona Led the United States In the
mileage of new railroad constructed
within the year. 1t now appears as
though those happy times were about 70
return. The reason lies in several direc-
tions, The ch1efest reason is the reju-
venation Of the Santa Fe in the west.
Thus are expected to come to pass the
construction of lines from Phoenix to
Globe. and fren Deming to Globe, max
Ing 4 through trunk line; from Prescott
to Big Bug; from Williams to the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado; from Kingman
to the White Hills. Another line in
cerporated since my last letter is backed
by the Copper Queen Mining company,
and II to run from the Arizona and. New
Mexico narrow gauge, near the proposed
junction with the new Santa Fe Line from
Deming to Morenci, where are the De-
troit Copper mines, lately acquired by
the Queen interests.
--latest, and missing by only about ten
days the end of the time for filing tax
exemption certificate, is the Arizona and
Coast Line railway, which proposes to
build from Tucson to Calabasas, a sta
tion on the Sonora railway five miles
north OF the international line, a dis
tance OF seventy-two miles. The pro-
jsct 10 capitalized at $1.000,000, and is
backed on paper by half dozen Tucson
men, particularly Bankers Jacobs and
Freeman. I learn that the scheme is
one whereby Tucson hopes to bring back
to herself the trade Of Sonora, lost when
the Santa Fe builded it's line from Ben
son southwark. The Southern Pacific
h In on the deal, too.
SONORA TRADE
Several years ago the Santa Fe inter-
eets intended to make the Santa Fe,
Prescott and Phoenix line its main path
way out Of Sonora. The road was to be
extended to Calabasas by way Of Tue
son, and the Sonora line (New Mexico
and Arizona 1t Ii called north of the bor-
der) was to be pulled up from Benson
to Calabasas, leaving the Copper Queen
road from Bisbee to Benson the sole oc-
cupant of the field in Cochise county.
Now, as far as the line from Tucson to
