Don't quarrel with fate; its foolish, for you can never win.
 If you're man be manly. If God made you for skirts, then let mem S wear alone.
 Don't pet your dog when things go well with you and kick him when they are crosswise. Dogs have feeling and loyalty, too.
 Don't be a bad copy of a good thing or a great person; you shame your original and placard yourself very foolish.
 Don't enthuse It's bad form and worse policy.
 Don't brag of your capacity. To drink like an animal or eat like a glutton giveth glory only to fool
 Don't slang when you are fatigued with you own patois. Study another Slangy women are revolting.
 Don't be too frank" deal of spite and malice hides under that word
 Flippancy is never c'ever. Although persons laugh at what you say, it is because you are so silly, not at it's wit
 Don't sponge. A great love and a true friendship can be killed by over taxing.
 Don't write froth to men, nor sen timent. If you ache for experience write a book, which will probably never be seen outside of your family
 Don't read until you consider it worth while to remember at least one thought or deduction of the author.
 Don't look over your social interiors, or they will cease to be that when you do it.
 Don't tell social lies before the kid lets, then punish them for playing truant from school or telling your original fairy stories.-Philadelphia Record.

lamentabIN True.

The friends of irrigation succeeded in getting a single sentence inserte d in the platform at San JoSe-and only one. Yet it is a sober fact that there is no more important matter before the people of California today than this same one of irrigation. Our water laws are a mass of inconSiS- tency and contradiction. Our court decisions are conflicting and produc- tive of litigation The whole thing must be gone over and an entirely new plan adopted for the administra- tion of water that belongs to the peo- pie, before California can hope to take the position to which she is en- titled Yet 1t seems impossible to take even the initiatory steps that are essential. Politicians look with a sort of pitying smile upon an "ir- rigation crank" and when he tries to point out to them the fact-that irri- gation is the supreme question in Cali fornia today-they wave it aside and proceed to the matter which is of far more importance to them-the appor- tionment of some piece of political pie. Some day the State will wake up and will upset the entire system of water administration, and put an end to the ceaseless and expensive litigation that cannot be ended until the State does act.-Alameda En- cinal.
 It is within the memory of many of our leading citizens that about six teen years ago the Republican party held a State convention in Los An geles and nominated John F. Swift for Governor and thought to make political capital by giving the irriga- tionists of the State slap in the face. John F. Swift was particularly forcible in his emphasis of that slap

fiICy-seven counties in California all but five reported grape vines, and nearly one-fourth of the counties had over million vines each Fresno, Sonoma and Santa Clara are the lead ing counties in the cultivation of this fruit, reporting in 1900 more than one third of the vines of the State.
 Vegetables, Sugar and Labor
 The value of all vegetables produced in the State in 1899, including the value of potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and sugar beets, was S7,1S2,31S. Of this amount S6.2 per cent. represents the value of potatoes.
 In 1899. S63 farmers devoted to sugar beets an area of fl PAP acres, an aver age of AIS acres per farm. They sold from this land 356,35S tons of beets, an average yield of S.6 tons per acre. and received therefrom $1,55O,346, an average of $1796 per farm, $SS per acre. and $4.35 per ton.
 The total expenditure for labor on farms in 1899, including the value of board furnished was $25,S45, 120. Fer tilizers purchased in 1899 cost $937 ,O5O. In 1889 the total value of the fertil- izers purchased was only $14SSS6.

and that slap cost him his election and Democrat was elected in his place. Politicians are not infallible. They make mistakes and one of the mistakes liable to be made by them is regarding the subject of irrigation. Many of them are familiar with only one kind of irrigation and that is done while they belly up to bar. The irrigation problem will yet bring the people of this State to their senses.

Imperial is taking to itself con siderable airs. From a desert plain it has grown in few months to a thriving farming section.

New York, Feb. 13.-The imperial
German yacht Hohenzollern, sent
here for the use of Prince Henry of

She was not expected, for she

Now and then a thud is heard,
And the atmosphere is stirred

Give the rural joys hard bumps

In the town there's deepest woe

And it's learned that all the pipes are
frozen tight.
Those who have to shovel snow
From the paths DER which they so
Are convinced that they're a most unhlp-

Many who must walk around
Where the chilling blasts abound
Are declaring they prefer a season hot.
But the plumber broadly grins.
