GUY U. HARDY. Proprietor.
A GLIMPSE OF RIVER
SIDE. CALIFORNIA

SlQS, OAllfUnNlA
Of all the places / have seen,
pleases me most, 1t
seems homelike to Canon City
man to find a community sur
rounded by green orchards and
cultivated fields, and if / were
coming to California to reside l
should go to Riverside to look
for home. Riverside is the
only place l have ever seen in all
my life that seemed larger than
the population claimed. They
claim only 10000, and the bust
ness part of town would certainly
indicate a place more than twice
as large as Canon City. The bus
mess end is out of proportion to
the size of the city, however,
from the fact that large rich
valley of many miles extent does
the bulk of its trading here.
In many ways Riverside re-
sembles Canon City, and is prob
ably only a third or a half larger.
1t is a residence town with a good
climate and many people who
have acquired a moderate COM
potency elsewhere come here to
make their home. 1t is in a fruit
country, having for its chief
products oranges, lemons, grape
fruit, etc. 1t bears the same inn
portance to California in the
orange industry, as Canon City
does to Colorado with her apples.
Riverside is situated at an alti-
tude of about 1900 feet, and its
climate is similar to that of Can
on except they have no snow and
the temperature seldom goes be-
low 80 degrees. Riverside has a
dry climate getting on the aver.
only 8 or 10 inches of rain a year,
a trifle less than we have al
home.
Orange groves are irrigated
much as our apple orchards ex.
cept that the people out here are
much more economical with ths
water. Necessity has taught thu
California people how to use the
water economically, and / believe
if the Riverside people had oul
big ditch which runs through
the north side of town they
would water six or eight times a.
much land as that ditch now wa
ters. Here several of the big
bitches are cemented throughou
and the water is carried to many
of the groves from the mair
ditch through ifpn pipes or littl

BEING A GOOD FELLOW.
1t Is a Losing Game In tic Long Run
Tor Most Men.

Any sensible young man ought to
know that he can't be up late nights
abusing his stomach and be in full pos.
session of his faculties for business the
next day, and he ought to know also
that man must be clear headed and
in full possession Of his faculties to
hold his own in the keen competition
of life. Your "good fellow is popular
for the time being, but when his money
is gone and he has lost his job and is
on his uppers the good fellow busi-
ness doesn't get him anything. It's
"poor fellow then-another good man
gone wrong, and the boys are ready
to hail another good fellow who has
the price.
We don't mean by this to say that
"the boys are mercenary. They don't
altogether pass up a good fellow
when he goes broke, but it isn't the
same. They say he hit the booze too
hard and couldn't stand the pace. They
feel sorry for him, but he is out of it.
His good fellowship doesn't excuse him
even in the eyes Of his friends for hav-
ing thrown away his opportunity.
The young man who gets the sleep
his system needs, is temperate in his
habits. lives within his means and
shows up for work in the morning with
q clear eye and active brain-that's the
man business men are looking for.
They want employees whom they can
trust. Having worked hard and laid
by a competence, they want to throw
some of the burdens off, and they won't
throw them off Oh the employee who is
too much of good fellow"
Cut it out. boys. There's nothing in
it. There's a whole lot Of nonsense in
that good fellow" business. You can't
fool the public very long by living be-
yond your means and keeping up ap-
pearances. There must be showdown
some time or other. and that means
loss of self respect and msely bitter ex-
periences. Many bright and promis-
ing business man has failed because
he tried to travel in too swift a class,
whereas had he lived within his means
he might have become highly success
full merchant.
The world doesn't give up it's treas
ures easily. 1t isn't in the cards for all
of US to be millionaires. and mighty
few of the good fellows" get into that
class. It's better to earn your way
first and go hunting for good times
when you have reached the point where
you can spare both the time and the
money. Then possibly you'll have
more sense and have a different notion
about what a good time is.-Toledo
Bee.

sucking out all the juices Of the plant
and so becoming exactly its color.

and if not checked he will utterly de-
stroy it. He will devour it in a few
days.

The Boy.

A boy is an odd piece Of furniture,
but be is the ground and chief ingre-
dient Of the man. Delude not yourself
with the belief that the boy is not all
he pretends to be, for he is a great deal
more. He is an incomprehensible fel-
low to any one but another boy, and
because he will presently grow into
the awkward between hay and grass
period that separates boyhood from
manhood. and to numbering idiot
then, don't signify that he is an idiot
now. He never is. But his chrysalis
state fetters him and makes him seem
like one sometimes.
The boy is all right.
