1t was her earnestness and her un- affected way that made it so impress sive. And, then, too, 1t held all the elements of what we call good story, except invention,- love, suffering and the overthrow of evil. When she had returned quietly to her seat, there was calm such as preceded great storrhs, and I involuntarily grasped my chair with both hands until the applause burst forth, and then I joined in. The judges gave her the prize, after considering the matter less than five minutes; and Mrs. Cold rove walked out with her hat over one ear and fire flashing from her eyes; and Mrs. Paine's chin trembled so that she was compelled to take her teeth out; and Mrs. Leede sat and glared and nothing more; and the poetess went right straight to the little woman ill the rusty black dress, and kissed her. It was wonderful display of emotion-wonderfu1p

WEST HAVEN.
The Senuel tn a. Raid

The Sequel to Raid.
 The finale of a raid upon the West Haven house at Savin Rock some time age came up in the Orange town court Saturday morning. Peter J. Eckland, the former proprietor. was arraigned upon two counts, keeping a disorderly house and violation of the ltclor law. Upon the first he was sentenced to jail for thirty days, and upon the second was fined $50 and costs. The same charges against Mrs. Eckland were nolled by Prosecutor Bush, and the fine of $1 and costs imposed upon Fred Granby, the bartender, arrested in the same raid,. was remitted upon the rec ommendation of Representative Robert J. Woodruff, who assisted in the prose- cution.

CALIFORNIA NAVEL. LEMONS.

CALIFORNIA NAVEL LEMONS.
 The acme of perfection in the orange Kingdom is the navel It's praises are sung and its merits known all over the world. California lemons are fast be- coming as we'll and favorably known, and only last week we published se- ries of analyses showing their superior ity over the Mediterranean fruit.
 Among the requirements of a lemon for market are comparative seedless- ness, thin rind and light pulp. These the California lemon possesses in a marked degree. But it has remained for Dr. Woodbridge, the well known ag- rcultural chemist of Los Angeles and South Pasadena, to succeed in produc- ing navel lemon absolutely seedless and possessing the characteristics and advantages of the orange after which it is named, for he has named the new lemon California navel lemon.
 Origin? That's another question. We tried to get the doctor to tell, but he wouldn't. One thing, however, he ttated. It is no experiment. The fruit has presented just the same character istics for two years, and he hopes it has come to stay.-California Cultivator.

platform. Everybody knew who she was, and everybody was astonished,
 it was so unexpected. The idea of woman like this little woman, the mother of seven children, a member of an tlnorthodox and unintellectual church, presuming to compete for the prize. It was ridiculous. My wife told me so ill a whisper just before it happened, and I nodded my head to my shame be it said l nodded my. head"
 "Prose, please" said Flatterby.
 "She took her place upon the plat form as easily as if she had been trained to it from infancy. And she read little story about woman who struggled against great odds-pov- erty, illness and all the rest-but the greatest of which was illness. She was sick--sick near unto death. Death would have been welcome to her, it would have been q relief; but she dared not ie,-would not; think of that, Flatterby, for unse1fshness. It was a simple story, quite another thing than those which had preceded it. It had been written from the heart, and it went straight to the hearts of its hearers. It told of the long, weary weeks of unceasing labor; of the aching, throbbing head; of the weak, trembling limbs; of the pa1pi- tating heart; of the inability to eat or to s1eep;-I tell you, it was a pretty well drawn picture of any one of thousands of poor women who are striving to do their duty without the requisite strength. And, tlkn, sud-, denly, she struck note of gladness, and were glad with her. Strength followed the return of appetite, diges- ton and sound sleep, and all of these followed the use of Johann Hoffs Malt Extract. And her littte home became place of happiness again, and she no longer envied the birds their lightness, nor the blacksmith, in the smithy across the way, his strength.

 "Who takes care of the babies?" asked Flatterby.
