The Fairies Nurse.


Safe within tho Granny
OF tie garden wall
Like a gray-haired granny,
With her cap and shawl,
Sits an honest spider,
Bent with aged racks,
with her wheel beside her,
Spinning fairy fax.
And IL one should ask her
Why she takes no fun,
Wastes no time 10 bask her
In the MONDAY sun,
She would say. My dearies,
Careless children play
I'm the nurse O fairies
And al work must stay,
For L knit them blanket,
Weave them dainty sheet,
while they pertly prank II
with their tWiuiNing feet.
But the winters coming
For the clin bands.
Frosts will soon be numbing
Tiny nose and hands,
Then when they are cosy
With my wOOllon skcins,
They will bless their prosy
Nurse for an her pains!

Macon county, y. 9.

The blue bird comes i'm early spring

And daily with the wanton breeze
The red bird ever comes and goes.
And perches not among the trees,
But always lights upon his nose
To sing to him OF recent sprees.

JUMPED OFF BACKWARDS
"A Chinaman Breaks His Arm by Get
ting Off a Car the Wrong Way

Wong Chung is Celestial who has
not been educated up to the idea of get
ting off a street car the same way it is
going, and this lack of information re-
suited in serious accident to him yes
terday. Wong was going out to some
vegetable gardens south of the city,
where he works. AT Jefferson street he
attempted to get off the car before it
came to stop. He faced about in the
opposite direction from that which the
car was running and throwing his
weight forward dropped to the pave
ment, his feet and head striking simul-
taneously. Those who We're watching
the Chinaman thought he fell, but he de-
clares that they are wrong, and that the
pavement just flew up and hit him in
the back.
At any rate, on taking an inventory Of
his injuries, Wong found that besides
several painful bruises he had broken
his right arm. He was bundled up and
sent back on the next car, and taken to
the receiving hospital. DIR. Hagan Of
fered the Chinaman chloroform before
setting the bone, but he would not take
1t and with his well arm fought the at
tendant away who tried to administer
the drug. The bone was finally set and
then Wong departed for Chinatown.

secure bids tor the hand music for the
Fourth Of July dssuonstrakion. Friday
evening. June Is. twenty-fonr hours
after the Council Of Labor had taken its
peculiar action a. outlined In the COM
munication to Secretary Pespell, the va
rious bids for furnishing music were
submitted to the executive committee,
and it was found that the Band union
had set its figure at SO per man, and
double for the leaders. The union
agreed to donate 12h per cent II none but
union music was employed. with no do
nation or rebate If any non-union music
was used by the committee. The COM
mittee required six bands, and could not
see it's way clear to pay the excessive
rate of $40 per man for three hours of
actual labor. Under these conditions
the executive committee instructed
Chairman Phillips of the music commit
tee to employ such music as was re-
quired at the best rate offered, with the
result that the requisite number of
bands were secured at less than half of
the amount which the union demanded.
The Council of Labor was invited to
participate in the Independence day
celebration, but took action in advance
of any final action by the Fourth of
July committee. which, in hiring nom
union MUSIC, followed the prudent
method of keeping within the limit of
its available cash fund.

PERRIs

PERRIS June 2e.-Regular Correspond
ence) The Good Hope Mining company
has sold some 40, 900 tons of tailings, now
lying in the impounding dam. to a COM
pany of capitalists from Los Angeles. The
tailings, when treated by the cyanide pro-
cess, will yield $500 in gold. The rock is
said to average about $50 per ton, so one
quarter of the value is lost by free milling
and concentrating. The company will
erect a plant for the treatment of these
tailings. which will handle 100 tons per day.
The site of the new plant is about seventy
yards east of the Good Hope mill.
Perris is doing her level best to get up a
celebration. A meeting will be held this
evening to determine what to do in the
matter. 1t is rather late in the day to start
the project, but it can go by rustling.

his family. late from Glendale, has been
appointed to take charge of the Episcopal
mission at this place.

A. LOST OPPORTUNITY
A Very Good Way to Avoid the Sad
Wall of cit Might Have Been"

Millions Of dollars have been lost for
lack of opportunity-for lack of knowing
when to take advantage of the offers of
others who may have something to
sell, either because of i'll health or dis
satisfaction
You can find all these opportunities by
reading the classified columns of The
Herald Herere a few opportunities
that might be just what you want:
FOR SALE OR RENT-A SHOE FAC
tory in complete running order, with
power and longtime lease; rent only $40
per month: cents royalty for each pair
for the use of the machinery; call quick:
no money down.
FOR EXCHANGE-WHAT HAVE YOU
to exchange for a small mare, cart and
harness? Will sell outfit for SIS cash.
Call Monday or Tuesday morning.
FOR SALE-A CHANCE OF YOUR LIFE
"A business with an inventory of about
$1,000 for sale for $500; best reasons for
selling.
Possibly you do not care for a shoe
factory, or a chance to buy business
worth thousand dollars for seven hun
dred dollars; or to exchange that old
shotgun for a small mare, cart and har-
ness. If you do not, these advertise
ments in The Herald will not interest
you. If not, look at the columns of
Business Opportunities" and you will
find others.
Possibly you have no capital, and are
only looking for an investment Of brains,
education, honesty and good service. If
so, consult the Help Wanted" columns,
where you will find many opportunities
for just such investment.
Or it may be you have no cash capital to
invest, and are not prepared to take en-
ployment beyond the care of your own
home. If you have rooms or apartments
to let to aid you in soly1Ag some little
problem of home finance, do two things:
First-Advertise in The Herald.
Second-Read the advertisements in
the classified columns of The Herald
very industriously, and you will reap the
reward.
