THE RAIN MAN

The rain man lives away UP in the sky
Where the children all he can See
And he plays lots of jokes with these little
folks.
And a jolly, good time has he.
When Mary and Virginia are off at play
Having a time good,
And none of their wraps they've brought
along.
Not even bonnet or hood.
He sends the pattering rain drops down,
Oh, just for fun, you konw,
And he laughs and laughs and laughs
AS Scampering home they CO.
And in every drop kiss he puts
On each dimpled cheek to place
And he kinks their hair into soft little curf0
And wreathes each happy face.
And thicker and thicker the drops he
throws
AS faster and faster they run.
And they clap their hands and laugh with
glee,
And say, 'it is jolly fun
And when at last on the porch they stand.
After the race is through,
With ringlets damp and cheeks aglow
And sparkling eyes of blue.
III "a
The rain man says, way up in the sky.
"Where on earth could you go
And find prettier picture than that
Now / should,like to know"
Then all at once, way up above,
He hangs a beautiful bow,
Ply which he means to say to them,
MY children, l love you So"

MONETA, Feb. 1.-THE Herald's an
nouncement of the certainty of San Pc
dro being selected as the harbor site was
very pleasing to the people of this val
ley, who will be benefited locally as well
as generally.
The abundance Of rain up to date has
made the prospect for a good crop cheer
ing to the ranchers. A big acreage has
been sown and the outlook for a gooi
price is favorable on account of the short
crop of last year, which is now almost
cleaned out of the country. There is
some of the hay crop of 1895 on hand,
but very little of that of 1896
The creamery at Gardena is under full
headway, and is in every way meeting
the expectations of the stockholders.
No little interest is taken here in the
prospect of an early decision of the
supreme court in regard to the title to
lands in the Lankershim ranch in the
San Fernando valley.
The road district, regarding which
there have been so many petitions and
counter petitions to the board of super
visors has not yet been definitely deter
mined. A good deal of misunderstand-
ing as to the advantages to be derived
from the proposed change has existed
among the people of Moneta and neigh
borhood, and many who were opposed
at first to any change being made are
no longer of the same opinion.
Two of Moneta's supposedly safe
bachelors have shown that they no

SAN DIEGO
TheosopEisfs' Hall Crowded to Hear the Cru.
saders' Addresses

SAN DIEGO. Feb. 18-Theosophists'
hall was crowded last evening, the local
members turning out in force to meet
and hear the crusaders and other visit
ing members of the order. Addresses
were delivered by Messrs. G. B. Rambo
of San Francisco and Pacific Coast Leo
turer w. Allen Griffith, Dr. Patterson of
New York, a crusader; Abbott Clark
G. H. Mohn, and Frank Neubauer of
Los Angeles, Miss Sarah Harris of Oak
land and Miss Annie Bryce, leader of the
San Francisco Lotus club. She urged
the formation of club in this city, say
ing: If Theosophy satisfies us, how
much better 1t is for children. They
take to 1t naturally, have good memo
ries and seem to learn more rapidly
than do adults. Because they have
smaller bodies, it does not follow that
they are younger than we are. They
understand Karma much better than we
think they do. The greater amount of
teaching must be done with the rising
generation. They imbibe new ideas more
readily than do the older people-or
rather, it is not new ideas, for they are
as old as civilization, but the teachings
of these lost mysteries are new"
Mr.. Rambo said This will be the
greatest meeting we have ever had. We
have the leaders of the society and the
eight crusaders to assist in laying the
foundation stone of a college that is to
enlighten humanity-the first college
of the kind in the new world"
Abbott Clark of Los Angeles said:
Religion teaches that we should be
brothers; Theosophy teaches that we are
brothers. This is one of the objects of
the new school. You are founding here
great school of learning, and with
a good library at this seat of learning 1t
is quite possible that we shall acquire
much more learning than we now pos
sess."
At the conclusion of the meeting Presi-
dent Blackmer asked all the members to
spend ten minutes in meditation and
prayer at the hour of midnight, as this
is the day for the meeting of the lodges
of the order throughout the world.
There will be a meeting Of the Esoteric
school of Theosophy Friday evening for
the admission of new members.
During the afternoon Mrs Katherine
A. Tingley and several others visited the
site of the college building on Point
Iona.
There is renewed interest in Theoso-
ply and the meetings of the local branch
are very largely attended of late.
