He wouIdn't Interfere.

An old %Scotchman went to stay for
a short time. as he said. with friends
of his. a young couple with no family.
After living with them for some two
or three weeks the young couple began
to get tired Of their visitor, but did
not like to tell him the state Of their
feelings toward him, so they arranged
o little plan between them as to how
they would get rid Of him.
Tomorrow" said the husband,

quarrel about the soup and say it Is
not good. In the midst of our quarrel
we viii appeal to our friend, and If he
takes your part I win give him notice
TO leave the house, ard II be takes my
part you do just the same"
Next day at dinner the quarrel
arose about the soup. and in the heat
of the argument uncle was appealed
10. but he coolly replied:
"Ye see. ma frcens. for a the time
intend tae be here-just a month or
twa-I hae made up ma mind TO tae

Mr.. Phillips seized the opportunity to
represent TO the negro in a pathetic
way that he regarded him as a man
and a brother and. more than that.
that he himself was an abOlitionist.
The negro, however, seemed more arx-
ious about his breakfast than he was
about his position in the social scale
or the condition of his soul. and finally
Mr.. Phillips became discouraged and
told him TO go away. saying that be

rover OF an Inch Of Rain.

said a tallative man.
Yes" answered the thoughtful man.
How much rain fellY'
THE weather report says just an
inch"
do you know what that means2"
asked the other as be took a pencil
from his pocket and began to fgure.
1t means clearing the air, laying the
dust and furnishing needed moisture
Tor vegetation and for Us. / suppose"
But have you ever thought what It
means In powerGr continued the
thoughtful man. You said a n inch Of
rain. Now. see these figures. New
York city contains Jos square miles Of
surface, and one inch OF water over
that would measure rs. 455. 600 cubic
feet, which at 60 pounds-whlch is the
weight Of a cubic foot Of water-makes
45~.0T9,372.s00 pounds. or 2~2,539,6SG
tons. Can you realize IT.
"Now. what comes down has gone
up. and this water fell about 5000 feet.
Old Sol had quite a pun 10 get that
moisture Up there. for a mechanical
engineer will tell you that that repre-
sents the expenditure Of nearly $780,
600, 100000 foot pounds Of energy. It's
sad that we can't hitch machinery to
that power without having to take it

Got HIS Money.

When King Edward VII. was an un-
dergraduate at oxford. he was a great
huntsman. and few men could beat him
across country. On n occasion his
royal hlghness and some other riders
galloped into a farmyard by way of a
short cut. The farmer, a sturdy yeo-
man, closed the gates and told the
huntsmen they u pay Fl apiece for
trespass.

year.
He married an aunt of Mrs Dan
Morgan Smith, of this city, and for
forty-nine years their married life WAS

gentle a. the soft cadences Of "A song.
During a large part of his life Mr..

Der of years ago retired from business.

Love is the modest, subljmesr, sweet
eS,, strongest passion of the soul.
The subtitle something we call love
has given inspiration to the grandest
and sweetest continents in song and
story.
Blot out love and the literature of
all lands would be barren waste.
In polite, rude and savage society,
from the creation of the world on
down 10 our time, love has made all
tongues eloquent.
What sublimer pictures have We
than the man in uniform holding
aloft in the smoke of battle the flag of
his country, and the woman almost
submerged 10y the waves clinging to
the cross of her redeemer. What purer
picture than the love Of the young
mother for her babe, or happier picture
than the coy young maiden and her
sweetheart Whispering words Of love.

the south county people who will re- gret it, not those north of the pro- posed divisional line. The center and north, relieved of the support of southern institutions, will be infinitely more capable of maintaining a State than will our fellow citizens of the south.
 It is absolutely certain that this question will not be settled until it is settled in the right way. Southern California is strongly Republican and Northern California as State would be in the doubtful column. The Dem ocrats of Northern California are lia- ble to get so disgusted with having the Republicans of this end of the State control them that they may be willing soon to unite with the Repub- licans of the South and declare in favor of two State governments, and thus send to the United States Senate four Senators where only two are sent now.
 Let public agitation of the question proceed.

 During the entire winter, that U. s.

Frank lin, who is in position to know just as much about the weather as the San Francisco man rarely finds it neces- sary to mention the subject
 The facts are that the San Fran cisco man is trying to give Southern California black eye while he is being furnished with bread and butter by the Government A change is needed in that office. The Government can afford to put an honest man there even though be may not be very com petent.
 However, these predictions do no harm nor. do they do any good. They simply show marrow, contracted idea unworthy of any man holding a governmental position.

An Honest Man Needed.

The United States Government should secure an honest man to take charge of it's Weather Bureau in San Francisco. The official in charge of that work now has it in for Southern California and never misses a chance to give us thump whenever he gets a chance, and as matter of fact he does not wait for a chance.
 Whenever he sees that there is a chance for a light frost south of Te- hachapi, he advises the orange orchardists here to smudge in order to save the crop.
 Recently he predicted 'light to heavy frosts throughout the State.' , But in Southern California he only predicted flight frosts.' In connec- tion with this prediction he advised the orange growers to "smudge freely"

What the Papers Publish.

The Imperial Press has an arrange ment with the Clipping Bureau to fur nish it with clippings concerning I'm perial and the cultivation of crops suited to the Imperial country. These clippings are received by us regularly several times per week, but as a rule the package is not large one.
 A few days since, however, we had surprise. There was delivered at our office a thick package containing more clippings than we were in the habit of receiving in a whole month or more. Here, we thought, was a windfall, but on breaking the envelop- ing and examining the contents we found the entire batch a single days clipping of criminal news intended for some detective or other person who was interested in keeping track of the criminals of the country and this batch had been sent to the wrong ad- dress. Having no use for criminal
