I agreed with him, and then sug-
gested that we should amuse our
selves by endeavoring to find out
how the dinner at the Cafe DIES Am
bassadeurs was progressing.
"They will proceed to a theater
afterwards, you may be sure" my
companion said. Gin that case if you
like we could catch glimpse of them
as they come out. What do you
say?"

objection.

''Should you require any assist

give it to you," my companion re-
piled.
/ thanked him for his offer, and
then we left the restaurant together,
hailed a cab, and drove to his fiat.
1t consisted of four rooms situated
at the top of a lofty block of build
ings near the river. From his Win
dows he could Hook out over Paris,
and he was wont to declare that the
view he received in exchange was the
most beautiful in the world. Fine
as it was, was scarcely SO enthus-
iastic in my praise.
Among other things they were re-
markable for the simplicity of their
furniture, and also for the fact that
in the sitting-room there was moth
ing to reveal the occupation of their
owner. His clever old servant,
would, did she but choose, make as
clever detective as her master (she
had served him for more than 40
years., brought us coffee so quickly
that it would almost seem as if she
had been aware that we should reach
the house at that particular moment.
"We have plenty of time to spare"
said my host. "In the meantime it
will be necessary for us to find out
what they are doing. If you will
wait I will dispatch a messenger,
who will procure us the informa-
tion.'
He wrote something on half
sheet of note-paper, rang the bell,
and handed it to Susanna.
"Give that to Leon" he said, "and
tell him to be off with it at once"
The woman disappeared, and when
she had gone we resumed our con-
versation. Had he not had the good
fortune to be such a great success in
his own profession, what an admir-
able actor the man would have made!
His power of facial contortion was
extraordinary, and believe that on
demand he could have initiated al
most any face that struck his fancy.
"And now with regard to our lit
tie excursion" he said. "What would
you like to be? AS you are aware,
can offer you varied selection.
Will you be workman, peddler, an
elderly gentleman from the prov
inces, or a street beggar?"

from the provinces would suit me

Humorous.

It is customary for newspapers to publish little funny items and hu- morous sayings so as to give variety to their columns and please their read CTS.
 The Saturday Evening Post of Phil adelphia, under the heading of Hills of Tiny Gems," produces the follow ing which seems to belong to the joke column, although it is not so classified by the careless artisan who made up the forms of that paper. We know our readers will have a good laugh over this gem, and hence we reproduce it in full as follows:
 "The Colorado Desert is a level plain of clay relieved here and there by hills of sand. It was formerly the bottom of great, shallow lake, the rocky banks of which still remain in the shape of stony cliffs that bear the ancient water-marks upon them. It is an arid wonderland.
 "The hills described are not station ary, but travel constantly, though slowly, journeying over the plain as the winds direct. The sand of which they are composed is not of the ordi- nary kind, but of nature marvellous. Most of the grains are transparent, others are translucent, while many are of rainbow hues, being in fact

IndiO Melon Crop.

The Southern Pacific railroad is making preparation for handling 200 cars of melons for Ruddock, Trench & Co.,, and 200 cars for Coachella Valley Producers Association. These prep arations are being made on the basis that 800 acres are in cantaloupes and coming on in good shape-150 acres at Indio, PA at Coachella, 300 at Thermal, 100 at Walters, scattering 26. It was believed that from 1500 to 17OO acres would be planted but many did not get down wells and failed to plant. The winds of the past month have further cut down the crop and emphasized the need of wind breaks. The railroad company is making an honest effort to ascer- tain the exact acreage with the view to supplying the proper number of cars promptly. - Riverside Independ- ent.

small gems of red carmelian, green chrysolite, and vari-colored garnet Seen beneath a microscope, most of them are perfect spheres, rounded and polished by atrition with each other. Composed of these strange materials, the sand hills look like great snow drifts, with here and there gleam of color Continually they give forth a rustling sound as the tiny spheres are shifted by the winds, rolling slowly onward.
 "The northern portion of the desert is paved with the most wonderful pebbles in the world, in many parts so exquisitely laid as to defy successful imitation by the most skilled worker in mosaic flooring. These pebbles are of porphyry, agate, carmelian, quartz crystal, garnet, and other such beauti- ful materials. They are packed to- gether so that the surface composed of them is like floor, and they look as if pressed into it with a roller"
 It is not an uncommon thing for tourists in passing through this coun- try to ask all manner of questions, and to get all manner of answers thereto. Occasionally they come across some son of the desert who has the bump of mirthfulness largely devel- oped, and the tourist gets a fill that is somewhat startling when reduced to cold type.

Imperial Freight.

The San Diego Sun publishes an interview with w. F. Holt, president of the First National Bank of Impe- rial, in which appears the following:
 "W. F. Holt, president of the First National Bank of Imperial, and one of the heavy men of the Imperial Land Company, is in town today. MT. Holt is very enthusiastic as usual over the Imperial country, and de- clares that many fields of barley, wheat and oats there Will astonish even the natives, to say nothing of the balance of the world. A good deal of grain has been cut, but owing to an entire lack of transportation facilities, none of it will be threshed this year, and all of it will be stacked for hay. Mr. Holt says that the large number of horses and mules in the valley, and the constantly increasing number of cattle will furnish steady demand for nearly if not quite all the hay that is being raised this season.
 Some of the stories he tells of the appearances of the grain fields in that delta country almost surpasses belief. He says plenty of the wheat stands five feet high and just as thick on the ground as it can stand, while the heads are about twice the ordinary length. He says that he is satisfied that there are several fields of wheat which would thresh 60 bushels to the acre, and any old Dakota farmer
