the Heat and Liked the Fruits.
A New York woman spending the
summer in Cuba writes that she has
not suffered at all from the heat in
July and August on that island. She
has passed the month at Guanajay, Z
few miles from Havana, and says OF
the weather is decidedly cooler than
excessively hot days, while all nights
have been decidedly cool, invariably
calling for blanket as bed covering.
''The Cubans,' she adds, "who have
gone to Buffalo, and there are many,
all sigh for the cool breeZes OF
Havana, and up here at Guanajay
the weather is decidedly cooler that
at the capital Cuba may become a
summer resort to Americans as we'll
as a winter one"
Life there during the hot months i!

Only linen bedding is used and the

The New York woman described her

pineapples, ripe and luscious, at the rate
of three for ten cents; alligator pears,

New Coast Line of the Southern
Pacific Co,

California is known now all over the
world as the greatest resort State and
it's attractions have been greatly in
creased by the completion of the South
ern Pacific Companys coast line be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles,
running through San Jose and Santa
Barbara. The new line includes a Jour-
ney Of 100 miles along the ocean cliffs;
follows the trail of the old Franciscan
fathers; passes near the best preserved
of the California missions; and pos
Sesses a variety of ocean and valley
scenery not included in any other 500
rifle trip in the world. Famous resorts,
Santa Cruz, Monterey and the grand
hotel of Del Monte, with the magnifi-
cent grounds surrounding it, are reach
ed by side trips. The giant redwoods
of the Santa Cruz mountains are on a
very large extension Of the line Such
famous all-year resorts as Paso Robes
Hot Springs, San Luis Obispo and

route. The company has arranged to
honor all tickets over this scenic route,

WHEN RIGHT MAN COMES.

A tall, naughty dame was Elysabyth
Smythe, with face that e'er
frosted the hearts
Of the masculine ones who assiduous-
ly sought to wound her with
Loves shining darts;
To all she was cold as a breath from
the north, to all she did sing
that old song:
"a Sister I'll Be-" till one happy day
the right kind of man came
along.
He looked in the eyes of Elysabyth
Smythe and he mingled his feat
ures with hern,
And as far as we know this once
chilly maid did give not single
gol dern.
He wrapped both his arms round her
willowy waist, and in that she
was right came along.
Oh, he slipped from her lips the honey
of bliss and unjointed the rat
in her hair,
And this maid once as cold as a board
ing house room didn't seem to
object or to care.
In fact, she did cling to his neck like
a leech from night till the
ROSTERS clear song
Jared her off his lap in the times sub
sequent when he that was right
came along.
To him she was married one day IN
the spring, and they went for to
live in fat
That contained but two rooms and
back-alley view, but she kicked
not a kicklet at that.
She was happy as ever a woman
could be, of bratlets she had
quite a throng,
Which all indicates how things bright
en- up when he that is right
comes along.
Moral.
All women, regardless of kind or OF
class, be they as cold as they
| make 'em and more,
Or be they as proud as a saleslady
who yells "cash" in novelty
store
Some day they will melt as the ice doth
in June and change their man
hating song,
At the happiest time in a woman
whole life, when the right kind
of man comes along.

Care OF the Complexion.

Many persons with delicate skin suffer
greatly in winter from chapping. Fire.
quently the trouble arises from the use
of impure soap and chap salves. The
face and hands should be washed only in
clear, hot water with Ivory soap. A lit
tie mutton tallow or almond oil may be
used after the bath to soften the skin.

DAVENPORT WINS CASE
OVER THE DIAMOND 10

The supreme court of Iowa has
decided the case of the city of DAveu-
port against the Diamond 10 Steam
boat company in favor of the city.
The case was tried before Judge Wolfe
in 1898 aud was by him decided in
favor of the city. The court held that
the city had a right to control the
river front for levee purposes; that it
had the right to give TO the railroad
company the right of way across the
property and that the only question
was the price that should be paid
therefore.

In the closing hours of its annual
session yesterday at Studebaker hall,
Chicago, the Illinois grand lodge of
Masops voted to accept the bequest of
264 acres of farm land in Moultrie
county left by Robert A. Miller, and
appointed committee to devise ways
aud means by which the provisions of
the will might be carried out. There
was determined fight against the
acceptance of the land, the grand
lodge on many occasions having re-
fused to receive gifts of land and
money.
The acceptance of the bequest
means that in few years there will
be home for the needy widows and
orphans of Masons in Illinois, Mr..
Mil er having stipulated that the land
should be devoted to that purpose.
After hearing the reports of the
committees and installing the new

1t is not generally understood that
when the line is in operation the
Rock Island will have the shortest
route between Chicago and Los An

problems of mountain railroading
which confront the other California
lines will bother the Rock Island.
accordingly there will be nothing in
the way of making fast time The
new line will it is expected, be
opened for business late in December
or early in January The position
the Santa Fe will take is being
watched with interest. The theory of
community of interests mas secured a
strong hold, and it is not likely that
there will be any fight over the Cali
