CALIFORNIA OPINION
Here Goes!

Let justice be done. even though the rain
be still withheld! 1t is no more than right
that it should be publicly acknowledged
what the whole world now has to privately
admit-that the so-called yellow Jour-
nails" have been corroborated in every es'
sential matter by Senators Gallinger. Proc
tor. Thurston and Money. by the testimony
taken before the naval board Of inquiry
and by the findings Of that board as'handed
to the president and read to congress. The
this world-known fact is itself "yellower
newspaper that will not bear witness to
than the journals which 1t has so bitterly
ondemned.-Sacramento Bee.

Best Part of a Cemetery

Probably few people know that there Is a
choice side to every cemetery. Thus, In
some parts Of the world, the eastern por-
tion without regard to it's situation, Is all
ways deemed most desirable. This prefer
ence arises from the old tradition that our
Lord will appear from the east. 1t is also
believed that the dead in the eastern por-
tion will be the first to rise; then those in
the southern. western and northern, in or
der. In England it was once the custom
to bury felons and other bad characters
on the north side of the church. The Gus
tom of laying the dead in a certain direc-
tion is responsible for the Welsh designa-
tion for the east wind: THE wind OF the
dead mems feet"

And Still Not Happy

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Most Of the late dried peaches in this
neighborhood were sold for cents per
pound. They cost the rancher cents to
grow and dry them. And prunes cents;
they cost cents. A neighborhood few
miles of had carloads Of good walnuts;
they let a commission house have them to
sell upon the advance Of cent per pound.
My experience with this class OF GENTLE
men in late years is. that the first advance
is all you get. Seeding oranges are
bringing u cents per box. Lemons-no
market; plowed mine under. But the dear
people want things this way, and pros
perity is with us, for they voted for Nc
Kinley, Hanna and the bankers.

Woman Drawn on a Jury

Louisville. Ky.-For the third time In Q
year the lottery wheel which draws the
jurors for the Fourth division Of the circuit
court has drawn woman. Among the
names which were put in the wheel was
that of M. C. Russell. Of 5S West Jefferson
street, who is put down in the city dt-
rectory as a dealer in umbrellas. Deputy
Sheriff Renfro today went to that address
with a summons for NJ. C. Russell, and
found that a woman answered that name.
Mrs. Russell resented the idea Of jury SER
vice. but the deputy brought her before

Revival Of Coral JeWelrY

Queen Margherita Of Italy intends to be
seen a good deal this season wearing coral
jewelry. in order to encourage an industry
which Of late years has somewhat fallen
upon evil ways. 1t would not be surprising
II the fashion were to spread to London,
as coral is becoming to almost any COM
plexion, and can, Of course, be had in any
shade, from rose pink SO delicate as to be
almost imperceptible up to a vivid red.
If a revival of the dainty old filigree setting
should also set in, the outcome should mean
some pretty things of kind that would
be quite novelty to the girls of today.

Canvasbacks for William II

Emperor William II of Germany, who is
often reported in newspapers as disliking
all things American, has been compelled
to admit the gastronomic superiority Of
the products of the Chesapeake bay. The
emperor will soon give state banquet. and
in looking around for something unusual,
as well as delicious. to surprise his guests
with, he thought of canvasback ducks the
kind that fatten on the wild celery of the
Chesapeake. Orders for the purchase of
fifteen pairs of the birds were given at

In oLDEN DAYS

In olden days men set their spears
And fought for maidens fair,
And charms for valiant knights wcr
formed
OF chains of women's hair.
The craven wretch who wronged maid
By look or word or deed,
In those brave times, was called upon
To mount his champing steed,
And in the lists, with cleaning lance.
Have at her valiant knight -
However base the caitiff, still
He had a chance to fight.
Men do not buckle armor on =
And mount their steeds today;
When modern women seek revenge 7S
They have surer way.
There are no jousts for maidens fair.
The lance is out Of date;
Men wear no chains of women's hair
To keep in touch with fate;
Each woman Is her own true knight.
And he that stirs her hate
Goes down before the deadly pin
That keeps her haaon straight.
Cleveland Leader.

The great trouble with what we know
is that so much of it isn't so. Thus was
the country put on the tenter hooks
by the erroneous information that the
Spanish torpedo fleet had arrived at San
JUAN. when, in fact, it was hundreds of
miles distant from that port. However,
when the volume of information with
which the wires are daily burdened is

Redwood vs.. Pine

It is well known that redwood Is far more
durable than pine and that It res1ets fire
much better, but because for a number OF
years Oregon and Washington pine was
cheaper the latter was largely substituted
in building specifications. and the use Of
the inferior lumber has become SO general
that many redwood mills which were for
merry running at FUN capacity have for
some years been closed down. Now, how
ever, redwood IL as cheap as pine, and a
general attempt should be made to place
the industry where It legitimately belongs

was scarcely of the tenor promised con-
