The Prince Of Wales iu placed by fate
Ia the most diflouit position of any
English subject. Ldbcled necessarily,
ccntinuously and Indignantly, silence
Il imposed ON him BY reasons Of state.
II he patronizes the drama, for the
neglect Of which the queen is persist
emily blamed. tho prince Is depicted as a
trider. who finds 10 the society Of
mummers relief from the tediu5a Of 9
wasted life. II he encourages our ma
tional sports. he Is 3 profiigate and Is
compared with royal predecessors,
whose conduct would certainly not
commend itself today even to the
stanchest supporters of monarchy. If
he docs not lavish money he does not
possess, he is said to be stingy. If he
makes an outlay on a church at Sand
ringham or a ball at Marlborough
House. be is spendthrift. Unworthy
friendships are attributed to him with
men upon whom he has never set eyes
or with whom he may perhaps have OK
changed a casual word. If he plays a
game Of cards, he Is gambler.
Fierce as is the light that beats upon
a throne, the cruel and searching illumi-
nation of the princes life inflicts on
him the disabilities and responsibilities,
while denying him either the power of
the throne or the privileges Of private
station. --Harper's Magazine.

Even in these days of liberal oduca-

how confused are the ideas shut up in

naive blunder which Edmondo do

The captain Of the steamer which
numbered the charming young blum
dersr umong its passengers met her one
morning and said: -

Frank g. Sutton, OF El Reno, Ok,

Michael KIelnfelter who Is said with
ont dispute to be the frst person To
cultivate the tomato in the United
States. Mr.. Sutton said recently TO
the reporter for the Star that. his
grandfathef was the sheriff Of York
county, Pa, In the year 1907. One
day man who had recently come
from the Bermuda Islands was put in
the jail. He had with him few seeds
whlchhe planted IN the jail yard.
He was discharged before the seeds
reached maturity, but asked Mrs.
Kienfelter TO save some Of the rruit
for him. No one 10 that part OF Penn
sylyanla knew what this fruit was.
Its color changed from.sgreeu TO a
brilliant red aud was greatly admired.
IL was believed to be poisonous. The
man frOm Bermuda returned one day
and TO the CONSERVATION OF Mrs.
Klenfelter ate the fruit With great
relish, after sprinkling II with salt
and peper, and dipping it 10 vinegar
He told Mrs. Kleinfelter that the
fruit was called the tomato, or love
apple, aud that it was not poisonous.
Mrs. Kleinfelter gave part OF the seeds
to her nelghbors and the cultivation
Of the tomato was gradually ex-
tended.

The next rain was on January 18th. The
winter was warm and pleasant. Thus far.
for 1877, we had on the ranch, September
S0th, one-fourth; October 18th, three
fourths; October 14th, five-eighths, and
on the Gath, one-half an inch; total, two
and an eighth inches. Usually there falls
about one-third Of the quantity before
January 1st, and two-thirds after. This
division will give us four and quarter
inches yet to fall, but we may have, as
in 1875, heavier storm than most peo-
pie will want to experience. The strong
est reason and the greatest probability
in favor of a plentiful supply are tha fact
that for the three past seasons we have
not had our usual quantity. have not
seen the water supply SO deficient in any
previous winter. Further, the unprece-
dented storms off the coast and north of
the Columbia river and the terrible
winds must have disturbed the equilibri-
um; reaction is sure to follow. 1t Is,

''In the fall of 1870 we had in Santa

differed from the month now closed. in

season that more nearly corresponded
with the present, thus far, was 1874. In

rain. This was followed by very dry
weather until the 18th of January. Dur

Irregular Correspondence Suits were
filed in the justice court of Ontario to-

to collect from persons holding B class
deeds from the Cucamonga Land COM
pany their pro rata of the running ex-
penses of the company. 1t is an undis-
puted fact that the defendants owe
something to the water company for the
use of pipes, for their deeds provide for
the maintenance Of the waterways, but
the question Of how much is the cause
of the suits.
The defendants have never paid any
thing for these services and last August
the board of directors of the water com
pany decided to collect reasonable
amount and presented bills of $1.62 per
acre, which Is the actual expense of 1896
and 1897. The defendants referred the
matter to their attorneys and within the
last few days they advised their clients
to pay the bills, which the settlers refuse
to do, claiming the amount exorbitant.
The amount sued for is SIS per acre,
which includes the last four years.
