EDITOR HERALD:

don't you forget 1t! ms is 10 GER
tifv that we have had three nights
of rain, often very hard, and two
days of drizzlel 1t began Saturday.
That night the norther howled and
the patter of countless showers fell
on my roof. What a delicious,
dreamy noise it is, as you lie in
bed, listening to the rain on the
roof And in this country, how
doubly, how trebly grateful is it!
I have lived in places where the
rainfall is far heavier, but / never
took such Il delight in it as | do now.
The two next days and nights it
rained and drizzled alternately.
Tuesday broke bright and clear,
and by ten o'clock everything and
everybody was enjoying themselves.
The women were putting things out
to dry-for all the roofs leaked
and were busy washing in the pools
of soft water that were standing
about
Last night was the coolest we
have had so far, the thermometer
going to 40.
l don't know if you are aware of
such fruit as capules, but, in spite
of your ignorance (Which 1 assume
to be very dense on this subject, you
being q city man and an editor)
there are such things. They are the
berries of the granjeno and Brazil
shrubs. The capules of the Brazil
are the best, and they are of two
kinds, black and guero, or red, and
quite sweet.

in my school and last Friday ask

"Then why don't you 90 and pick
'em?" said. Nobody will go

them the next day, and at the APP

hopes they wouldn't come, as | was
reading an interesting book. We
were out till four p. m. There were
plenty of berries, and in a short
time every boys hands and lips
were stained blue black from the
fruit, and soon the receptacles were
filled.
There was only one mishap, One
little fellow, racing through the
potrero fell close to a nopal, and
got some of the thorns in his legs.
He only whimpered, and for a
while we were busy picking the
largest thorns out.
This evening, the little chaps
suggested another paseo for next
Saturday, and so l am in for another
excursion.
The guero capules are very pretty,
like rubies in color when fully ripe,
nearly as big as cherries, and of
semi-translucent appearance. Some
times they are so abundant as to
almost hide the branches of the
shrubs, for the leaves are scant, and
when the sun shines on the shrub,
it fairly lights up with a many-hued
red fire.
There are any quantity of deer
about, and am enjoying the result

turkeys too, not far away. If l re-
tanned my former enthusiasm as a
hunter, I'd go out and shoot some-
thing. Not that think it wrong, but,
like the boy in the confectioner's
shop, am satiated.
