Now the annual California orange
yield is $1,000 carloads. AMI noNt year
II Is expected TO exceed 10000 carloads.
The total amount invested i'm orange

aud Is annually increasing by two mill

The Introduction OF the seedlcss
orange has wrought this change. and
large tracts of waste land IN California
have been covered with luXuriant
orange groves. and several small towns
more or less dependent on the industry
have sprung up in the State
1t is computed that the industry has
added annually 100000 directly and

EARLY RISING.

Had I the time and strength TO spare.
I'd show how better far than wealth,
Is our unCoolled Nebraska air
For those in sickness or in health.
At evening when The COW called Speck
Is milked-l 60 in weather fine
And lc, the cool winds fan my noel.
And whistle through these lungs OF mine
And at the early peep OF dawn.
Before the world would call 1t day,
| start and with out little on
And eat the air as cows do hay.
Alas for him who lies i'm bed.
And wakes the echoes with his SHORES
Until the sun high over head.
Drives him To rise and do the chores.
Great loss Is las IN many ways
Tie never secs the rising sun.
He doesn't live out hat his DAYS,
His health is never so. /

Her dress, which was something in sober

And with dampness nearly dripping,
She changed for u bright. warm, crimson

And She looked so gay when she came
down
They forgot that the air was nilping.
They forgot that the house was a dull old

And smoky from base TO rafter.
And gloom departed from every face,
As they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace.
And the cheer of her happy laughter
Oh, give me the girl who will smile and

And make all glad together!
To be plain or fair is a lesser thing
But kind. unseltish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest wcai her.
