A reporter on the Blade star, re-
Gently called ON ]. w. C0nklin, the
keeper Of the county house and poor
farm. With great kindness Mr..
Conklln showed him through the
apartments and over the grounds.
The house Is In excellent condition,
immaculate without and neat as a
pin within. There Is no sign OF
slovenliness on the premises: every
thing Is conducted with method and
order. Mr.. Conklin says modestly
that he does his best. A mere glance
and the most superficial inspection is
sufiiclent TO convince the observer
that he succeeds beyond compare.
He Is ably assisted by his wife who
attends to the cooking and house
keeping. The farm IL also well cared
for. Potatoes, pease, rutabag0es,
onions, ETC., grow abundantly, with
out irrigation, and no weeds are vi.
lowed to flourish. A carriage, horse,
three cows, and four hogs are the
necessary adjuncts to the farm.
There are seven patients at present,
These so afflicted as to be offensive
are isolated. Sanitary methods are
practlced; the rooms are dlsinfected
and are fumIgated as necessity de.
mands. Altogether the appearance
Of the farm and all the appurtenances
~ well US the methods, which prevail
proclaim Mr.. aud Mrs. Conklin as
the right persons In the right place.

A Frisco father whipped his son
severely the other day for stealing
goods from grocer, and the Cali
iornia society for the prevention Of
cruelty to children had the father
arrested. Sensible people will be
inclined to think that the father
did right. The memory Of that
whipping may save the boy from
the penitentiary some day. LEX.
