The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1903-11-18

Pomona. Cal, Oct. %, 1908.
To my friends in Breckenridge
county:
left my home one mile southwest
of Harmed, Breckenridge county, on
July 81, 1900, for Tuscola, Ill. re-
manned there until the following De
cember. when l went to Oklahoma
and spent three months. From there
/ went to Salina, Kan, which |
called home for one year. Seven
months of this year | attended Sse.-
tons School of Telegraphy and Rail-
reading. When the year was out l
came to California. where l have been
for more than year and a half
| have Deen over much of Southern
California and it is one of the most
beautiful countries have ever seen.
/ have done a little of most everything
since | have been in California. but
for the past eight months | have been
working at my trade of barberirg,
about five and half months in Los
Angeles and since August > in Pomo-
ma.
have been IN the following states
and territories: Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri Kansas, Oklahoma,
Indian Territory, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, California, and the Republic
of Mexico. While California is my
choice of all the states | have seen it
has its drawbacks. There are many
people here from all parts of the East
who are dissatisfied, so would not
advise anyone to come to this state.
To my notion where man or woman
Is satisfied is the place tor him. My
rule is, if not satisfied, move.
There are really but two seasons in
the lowlands of California, wet and
dry. the latter being much the longer.
And irrigation is necessary for the
cultivation Of many crops, such as
fruits, vegetables and alfalfa. Barley
is the leading cereal crop in this part
Of the state but there is much wheat
grown also. 1t is pleasant to be down
in the orange groves during the winter
months where the oranges are hang
ing ripe over head, and the surround
ing mountains are covered with snow
until June. The flowers bloom all
winter and the grass is green in the
lowlands as it is in the summer. In
fact, everything is Sreener, for in the
summer vegetation gets so dry that it

The Preachers Better Half.

Oh. pity the lot of minister's wife;
1t is sinful for her to be fair;
She must not try to too sublime for this life
Yet must still have a heavenly air;
She must never view others with critical eyes,
She is there that the rest may themselves criticise
Whatever she does may
If she tries to be humble her sisters will say
She poses and isn't sincere
If she shows that she's proud of her prominence they
Cast looks at each other and sheer,
And talk of the folly of one who believes
She's "too good for this world, while her husband
ceves
Only four or five thousand year"
If she seems to be pleased with the the rest
Will think it is all for effect
Yet she must not pretend to indifference lest
They may talk of her lack of respect;
They call her a trump if her costume is plain,
And accuse her of being extravagant, vain
If she dares to be handsomely decked
If she acts like a saint they will say it's for show,
If she doesn't there's scandal Each day
She is under the gaze of the high and the low
And though she inspires him, they
Regard the poor preacher with pity, they SIGH
And, whispering sadly, 60 wondering why
He loves her much, anyway

This episode of the counterfeit Canon Rosen-

almost as much ridicule as elected by the

gregation hoodwinked the French Consul at
Beyroot and palmed off upon the French police
a counterfeit OF his own personality. The
opinion is that Father Robert, the Canadian
prelate is absolutely innocent of any conni-
vance. At all events. he is now at liberty, after
travelling at the expense OF the French Govern

be on his way home to Montreal. The govern

THE DUBLIN COUNCIL AND ROYALTY.

Sir: The line adopted by the Corporation Of Dublin

simply a coroIary OF that blackguardism which

AGAINST SPEEDING BURNING CARS.

ror 1oa ded with human beings is the worst Il IS
had aaongb to be compelled TO ride in overloaded
cars r7.r on unnecessarily long headway, and TO
ride in omen cars in inclement weather; but the
recent and growing practice of speeding burning
car without giving the passengers chance TO es-
cana from tho danger of the flames, is an unbear-
sbie barbartsm and ought not TO be tolerated
Nothing in the management OF these roaas re-
veals so uIatnIy the supremacy of mercenary con-
siderations over public welfare as this new and
dangerous nractice. The managers have attempted
N exnIain away other outrageous conditions by
saving that they are doing the best they can to
accommodate the public and that such conditions
are not the result Of a deliberate policy 10

but what excuse have they 20 offer for not In
