CORONA

CORONA, Sept. 18.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) George P. Hall, one of the
horticultural commissioners of San Di-
ego county, was here a few days ago
and in company with local Commission
, G.. w. Van Kirk visited number of Co.
the orange and lemon orchards Of Co.
roma and surrounding country. Mr..
Hall. who is very observant man, ex-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with the
healthy condition Of the trees and the
general promise Of prosperity apparent
on every hand.
The people Of the place were treated
to most interesting lecture on Alaska
last evening by Rev. o. Parker The
lecture was given for the benefit Of the
Episcopal church, and there was good
siezed audience present. Rev. Parker has
Travelled extensively in Alaska, and has
also visited Klondike, the scene of the
present gold excitement.
The orange and lemon crops Of this
colony never looked better, and the
promise of an extra big yield Of the
very finest quality of fruit was never bet
ter. The Corona groves are just begin
ming to bear, and from now on the yearly
increase in shipments from here will be
large. The grain crop grown adjacent
to this place this year is large, and the
ranchers are now beginning to jingle
the good big dollars they have received
as reward for their labor.

THE JUNIoR REPUBLIC

The "boys republic" which is in prac-
tical operation in the east is deservedly
attracting the general attention Of the
public. Think of small republic Of
boys, governed by boys and supported
by boys and Independent of the rest Of
republic within republic to be!
The plan originated with Mr. William
R. George of Feeville, New York. an
unassumiug yet thoughtful and mag
letic young man of 81. Mr.. George early
became interested in the "fresh air"
work in New York city, and seven years
ago he brought score of waits from
the slums Of Gotham to his farm for a
two weeks outing. The boys had
good time, but Mr. George soon dis
covered that they were losing their self
respect with each successive year, be-
cause they received gifts Of clothing
and other things, and got to claiming
charity as their right
1t occurred to him first to make the
them govern themselves-make them
responsible for themselves. so to speak
and out of this grew the Junior repub-
lie, which is now in the third year Of
highly successful existence.
The republic has legislature, a pres
ident, judge Of the criminal court, and
other necessary officials, and they liter
y, olx
port themselves. Mr.. George lays down
two fundamental principles: RESPONSE
bility and work. "In so small COM
munity," he says. "every citizen could
see the bearing Of his Industrial, po-
litical or moral acts upon his fellows,
together with their reaction upon him
self So he became responsible citi-
zen."
The second principle is that of self
support. No boy or girl is forced to
work, but each must pay for his or her
board and lodging, and for the govern
mental machinery. If boy joins the
republic and will not work he soon gets
hungry, and hunger soon forces him to
become a wage Garner.
The Junior republic is not an exponent
Of Socialism. Individualism, brains, en-
ergy and enterprise count there the same
as they do in any community. Some OF
the boys and girls are better off than
the others because they are smarter,
work harder or perhaps they are more
economical. The best win there, as in
the grown up battle Of life.
An interesting and humorous feature
that has sprung up Is the woman suf-
frage question. Only the boys have the
privilege Of the ballot, and one young
woman who conducts leading hotel In
the republic declares that she will not
pay a cent Of taxes unless she can vote.
She made a speech on the subject, too,
and she did not forget to allude to the
Boston tea partyi

MY WIFE AND

My wife and I, in the April weather,
Turned from the parsons parting word:
And our hearts were as light as the downy
feather
That falls from the wing of the woodland
bird.
And all our songs died out in laughter,
And every sound into cadences fell
Around our pathway, followed after
+ By lingering echoes musical
For we were young, and the dim, uncer tain
Future concealed each sob and sigh.
Small time had we for lifting the curtain
In search of sorrow-my wife and I.
In the sunny day of the summer weather
We toiled onward, hand in hand,
And in life's fallow-fields together
Wrought at the duties we had planned.
And children came unto us, leaving
Jewels of joy around US strewn
BY their little hands SO busily weaving
The thread of their lives into our own.
What cared we if the blue and the splendof
OF heaven were hidden by clouds in the
sky? ~
For love had eyes that were blue and ten

And heaven enough for my wife and l.
In the days of the mellow autumn weather,
When fields and skies were growing gray.
We still Jared on, Indifferent whether
The end was near, so far away.
Our children now were men and women;
And round us. in ripened clusters, hung
Fruits of the faith that blossomed dim in
The distant days when we were young.
Old hopes that had run the way before

Stumbled and fell, and we passed them by
For the grasp of the new ones. bending Ger

And beckoning onward my wife ana I.

When nights are long and days are cold.
The snow lies white on hill and heather;
And we are feeble and faint and old
And so she nestles a iittles closer, ,ss
Holding me fast with a strange caress:
And I am content in the faith that shows
her
Regions of infinite happiness.

Out of the past there comes cry!
