q think the method of naming
from circumstances attending their
discovery is a good one 1t has been in
practice for two years. Before l
adopted it I named them after noted
men. We had little Russell Sage,

unusual: Mary Snow was found on a

one day when it was sleeting. Jane
Snowbank lay snugly imbedded in
snowbank when a policeman heard
her cries and took her to the city's
shelter. It was raining a solid sheet

Flies Live About Two Weeks.

Owing to the natural difhdence of
flies not much is known Of their
family arrangements or how long
they live after they get to be old
enough to vote. 1t is estimated,
though, that If papa and mamma Of
the early spring could hold out to at
terd a family reunion of their off
spring held in the latter part of
august upward of 100000 of their
own blood and kin would come to the
picnic, not counting maggOts in arms.
Fortunately for them papa and NAM
ma do not live much more than q
fortnight. Even a fy's perseverance
would be unequal to the task of keep
ing track of 100000 of descendants
AS Artemus Ward says, This is 2
mutch.'
fortunately for us flies do not live
much longer than a fortnight, for if
they were long-lived and preserved
their fecundity man would soon be
forced to look for some place where
things were not quite so crowded and
the real estate advertising columns
would be full of Why Fight Flies:
Secure Planet of Your Own on Easy
Monthly Payments
However, it is we'll to point out
that the saving clause, it is esti-
mated corrects the 100000.
''There is a good deal of the it is
estimated about the life history of the
fly for the reason that the beast is
hard to rear. Other insects will live,
move and have their being in a box
with gauze over it and let in the
air and light. But fit up the most
luxurious quarters for flies, well aired
and lighted, stocked with all the del
icacies of the stable and the garbage
box, and the inmates incontinently
turn up their toes and die. While the
entomologist wonders what for, a
fly buzzes past his ear. He chases it
away. It comes back. He slaps at
it. 1t lodges, buzzing gleefully, and
alights again. He futters his hand
and shooes it from him. He thinks
it is simply another case Of a fiy's
perseverance. He does not know, he
cannot understand that it is hooking
his failure with the cry of 'A-a-a-a-ah!
Did you ever get left?' Harvey

JUSTICE TO DIXON.

Wainwright sharpened his pencil
viciousIy. What fiend had prompted
Helmuth to assign him DiXon's obitu-
airy? He continued to sharpen his
pencil until there was nothing left but
a stub. The next stroke Of the knife
would have taken a bit Of his finger
when he caught himself with a start
and gave a harsh, metallic laugh.
Then he gathered up a little pile of
cedar chips and graphite fakes and put
them in the waste basket.
Why should he not write Dixon's
obituary? He could afford to be gen.
erous ard give him a good one, for he
was glad that Dixon was dead; riotous-
Iy, intoxicatedly glad of it. Now he
could breathe freely once more He
had grown haggard and worn during
the weeks that Dixon's life had hung
in the balance. He had feared that
Dixon would get well. He could not
remember having feared anything so
much before, and he had been afraid of
Dixon himself for almost a year, afraid
Of his manIiness, his intelligence, and
his big, warm heart.
He had been even more afraid of
these than of his handsome person,
and Dixon had been striking figure.
Wainwright noted with satisfaction
that already he was thinking Of Dixon
! in the past perfect tense. An hour ago
! he would have said, Dixon is a strik-
/ ing figure"
Strange that fair hair, a pair of blue
eyes and attractive ways, Joined with
| the best intentions, can almost make a
| demon Of a man sometimes. That was
what the combination seemed to have
| done to Wainwright-that is. to his
! soul; his manner was still convention
ally correct. But the natural savage

much to my cost, and I've got his good
VIII. When he wants something in my
line, he comes to me. In that way we
build up each others business, and help
our own town to grow. A man who
won't ratronize his neighbors, when he
can, is a dead weight on his own
town"
Mr.. Snobleigh quietly left unob-
served. He sat down in his office.
There was his furniture, quite elegant,
all ordered from a distant manufac-
tUrer. There were his books, from a
New York bookseller. He thought long
and seriously. A light had shone in OF
his mind.
7 see it ALL" he soliIoquized. Il
have been a fool I've had the notion
that it was the mark of a fine gentle
man TO buy what [ needed, from dis
Ca0t people, and I've got my pay. I've
let the people Of my own community
alone; and they have let me alone with
q vengeance"
After that, the young lawyer patron
lied his neigbbors. He explained TO
the tailor some points about the fit of
clothes and the quality of goods. He
told the shoe manufacturer some
things about feathers. He had excel
lent taste in dress in architecture and
house decoration. He talked with the
local architects and uph0lstereTs, as
chance offered, concerning the best
style and effects. He inherited a small
sum Of money, and he soon married a
lady who had more. But he laid down
neighb0rs. He built and furnished a
dwelling house. It was a beauty for
the local architect and decorators could
take pride in it, for they had been en-
ployed and they had furnished the ma
terial. 8
Soon a great change was percepti-
bic in his professional business. Gil
ents came to him. Retainers flowed in.
People found out that he was a good
lawyer: and, moreover, they wanted
him to hold public Office. The mayor
atty was thrust upon him. The state
senatorship came to him in spite of
himself and he could say, lat forty all
the paths of honor were open unto
me-"
He had sense enough to see, when
led to think of it, that when a man
casts his lot in a young and growing
community, in American life, he must
be helpful to his neighbors, patronize
them and help build up their business,
if he expects that they are to help him.

Eishinc and WiShinQ,

Three little folk by the meadow brook
With a line OF Irvine and a bent pin
hook,
And an eager, earnest, serious look,
Sat resolutely fishing.
But either the fish were Wondrous wise,
Or they had the sharpest kind Of eyes,
For they wouldn't bite, to the great
surprise
OF the little folk, who said with signs,
Let's play game Of wishing!"
q WISH" said Tom, for a pot OF gold,
With every minute that has been told
Since the day the earth WAS young or
old;
I'd have more money than I could hold.
See what I get by wishing!"
Il wish" said Ned, that the ships at
sea
And all that is in them belonged to me-
And all that have been, or ever will be;
My wish is the best, don't you agree,
And worth day Of fshing."
Il wish said Mol, with a toss of her
head,
And pout Of her lips that we're cherry
red,
You'd get your wishes just as you
said,
And give them to MEOW, Tom and
Ned,
I'VE got the most by wishing!"
And all day long in the woodland shade
The three little fsher-folk sat and
played,
And oh, the millions Of money they
made,
Though never a dollar Of it was paid,
Was worth year Ct fishing!

perimented, or to those who looked on
with the sheer of the cynic at the ex-
perimenters, the farming proved as
fruitful as the mining. By merely
scratching the surface the wheat
growers obtained a yield of seventy
to one hundred bushels to the acre.
and at an expense in cultivation,
through the use Of the gang plow, as
light as forty cents per acre Vege-
tables grew the year round, fat and
happy, running their weight and size
to such unusual figures as fifty pounds
for cabbage and 200 pounds for a
squash. Muscatel grapes produced
five to sixteen tons to the acre. The
wool clip averaged seven pounds per
animal, against an average of four
pounds.
'This exceptional agricultural rich
ness was made known abroad only less
rapidly than the publication of the
states mineral richness. Thus Cali
fOrnia began her farming as she had
begun her mining-in an unusual way,
on large scale and with a strong
pull on public attention. Ranching, in
Guiding stock raising, became popu-
lar. 1t was taken up as an investment
by individuals who had made money
in the mines, and was traded in as
mining properties were traded in. Eff
forts were made to promote immigra-
ton, and habit of self-advertfsing in
a manner beftting the states prolific
resources fixed itself upon the people.
This habit developed in 1886 into the
phenomenal boom in Los Angeles and
southern California.
'Possibly because no one loves so
we'll or knows so we'll as a happy cIer-
ic of the old type what good wine is,
the padres of the Spanish missions
had surrounded themselves with vine
yards of wine-making grapes. These

found them to contain the same pos
sibilities of the soil when it was stirred
for wheat. and of the rocks when
they were washed for gold Shrewd
men foresaW occupation and wealth in
wineries and entered at once upon the
study and practice of wine culture. In
the thirty or forty years which have
since elapsed California has advanced
to the position of one of the greatest
wine and brandy producing countries
in the world. Since 1867 the total
vintage at the close of the past year
was 100000 gallons. The largest
vineyard in the world, consisting of
1000 acres is to be found within the
state. European royalty now drinks

New Music From the Old Harp.

A harp there was in Yankeeland,
And hand that played it clearly.
We thought we knew its every strain,
We loved its music dearly.
Years later came strange, thrilling
strains
Some master harp resounding,
And all asked, What new harp is this
That sets our hearts a-bounding?"
But when we came to seek it out,
The new accord that filed US,
T was still the same dear, well-known
harp,
But new the hand that thrilled US.
Now read my riddle: First to play
The Muse that once was Thoreau's.
The next, the Spirit of the West.
The harp? Why that's John Bur-
rOughs.

reading what has been said about his

For more than ten years it was my
privilege to know Mr. Huntington and
to come in close contact with him.
Perhaps because was a member of
another and unfortunate race, who
had no Gains upon him, gave me an
opportunity to really know tue higher

some others. The first time | saw Mr..
Huntington he gave me 50 for our
school at Tuskegee; the last time |
saw him ne gave me $4,000 toward
the endowment of our school. Mr.,
Huntington not only aided our school
at Tuskegee financially, but ne took a
deep and personal interest not only in
the Hampton and Tuskegee schools. as
well as others, but IN the entire negro
ra,e.
Many times when I have met him
at his home or at his office. I have
wondered how man who was bur,
cened with such tremendous respon-
slblhties could find the time to talk
with me at so great a length about the
welfare Of our school and race. Often

Of mis- most busy days, and he would
spead an hour in getting information
and giving advice regarding the eleya-
ton of the negro race. He not only
did this, but l received from him
many long letters, in which he took
the greatest pains to point out the best
way for the conduct of our school and
the education of the race. When trav-

he could always be approached by the
most humble black man.
To me his heart always seemed as
tender as that OF a child. and I never
went to him for anything that he
thought our school at Tuskegee need
ed, that he did not assist in securing,
Only short while before he died he
learned in some way that the work at
TuSkegee would be made more efficient
if he could secure an additional boiler
and engine. AS soon as he learned
this, he told me that he wanted To
provide these for us. In order to ne
sure that we secured just what we
needed, he gave his personal attention
to seeing that the proper boiler and
engine were brought and shipped to
us.
AT another time, when l called to

Freak names for foundlings in this
city ended with the recent anti
negro riot in the Tenderloin. The
day after that event two foundlings
were taken from the streets. Super
intendent Blair of the Outdoor poor
department, named one Sarah White,
the other Josephine Black. One was
christened as a Roman Catholic, the
other Protestant. The next day
the order against circumstantial
names was issued and the first name
under the new system was bestowed
upon Irene Brown. AS a rule, the
names given have been very conserv-
ative. but occasional atrocities have
been committed. The one that caus-
ed the uproar was the giving of the
name Virginia Broiler to a baby found
in the sun on the hottest day this
month.
Rebecca Wet and Julia Sleet are
two other names that tell all that is
known of the parentage Of the little
ones. With the exception Of these
three, Superintendent Blair says nc

defends Wet and Sleet, but he ad

SHOULD BE KEPT QUIET.

London Newspapers Object to Publication
of Distressing Bulletins.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The afternoon
papers describe the generals dispatches
as unpleasant reading for the British
people, intensely mortifying to the na-
tional pride and damaging to the coun.
try's prestige and scathingly denounce
the gazetting, at the present time, of re-
ports, which The St. James Gazette
says, display academic frivoity, not un-
commonly found in combination with
practical incapacity, lapsing into sneer-
ing, when they ought to rebuke, and
filled with the slang and humor Of Kip
ing's subalterns.
The st. James Gazette sums up it's
opinion as follows:
'These dispatches sweat the folly
which has prevailed throughout the
period the campaign has covered, and
which has exacted it's usual tithe of lives
and men,"
There are signs of important move
ments developing in the north of Cape
Colony. General French has succeeded
in getting in touch with General Gata-
ere, possibly presaging combination
OF the two columns and the commence
ment of concentration Of the forces
which is believed to be the ground work
Of Lord Roberts plan of campaign.

Son of the Chicago Packer Dies Suddenly
in California.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-The news of the
death of Philip D. Armour, Jr., young
est son Of the millionaire Chicago
packer, at Montecito, near Santa Bar
bara, CAL, comes asa complete surprise,
as it was known that when he left for
the Pacific coast he was in the best of
health. A telegram from a member of
the party that accompanied young Mr.
Armour from Chicago few weeks ago,
when he went to California to Join his
father, conveyed the information to J.
Ogden Armour, a brother. At first J..
Ogden Armour was inclined to believe
there was an error in the report of the
death Of his brother, as the name signed
to the telegram was not that of mem
ber Of the family. But confirmato.y
messages came later, and he at once pre-.
pared to leave for California to- take
charge Of the funeral arrangements. He
is undecided as to whether the remains
will be shipped to Chicago, or Inferred
in California, where the senior Armour
has decided to live permanently.

Davis closest friends here in Kansas

mirers tells Of conversation he had
with the assistant secretary of the in
terror in Washington nearly year ago.
81 called on Davis in relation to pen
sion claim. He referred me to Corne-
ius Bliss. Bliss talked of the future Of
Davis in politics. After we talked with
Mr.. Bliss we went over to see the presi-
dent. Mr.. Mckinley declared that Davis
was destined to be great man in the
nation.
CATER we left the White House Davis
told me that he was slated for the NOM
ination for vice president. He declared
the president had taken up the subject
with him voluntarily. Mckinley be-
ieves that Davis can carry Missouri for
the Republican ticket
