FARMINGTON.

our town has al this time an overflow OF
company. There is no town Of the same size
on the peninsula that has more company
through the summer than our quiet Rip Van
Winkle town. We sometimes think the town
is dead and ready for burial, but when the
June roses bloom the merry crowds begin 10
come, and until September sun sends It's blue
haze over the ethereal doom. do they fill the
beautiful home-like porches with mirth and
song We have in our town eight Widows
and two maiden ladies. There are only three
or foue homes that have more than two chill
dren. and yet they are full OF Joy and try TO
make everybody feel the same home-like
spirit that is characteristic of them all. We
have had one very pleasant family in our
town. who we really feel belongs TO us now.
Mrs. Chas Heisler and her estimable mother
Mrs Ruth Carlisle. have spent a very pleasant
time, having occupied Rev. John Poole's
house while he and his family are summer

pleasant to meet.

ant party-indeed. it is a family reunion.

YOU can hear their merry peals Of laughter
and snatches Of fsong and music, indicating
they are having "a good time. If you ask
about II YOU find they are all joyous and full
/ OF mirth
sorrow has come to many homes also in
the last year since February of 1902, up un-
I iii the present, twelve homes have been sad
dened by death and all were heads OF fami-
/ lies. so, you see,we have Joys 10 NIL our days
and then sorrows come, and every heart
knows its own sorrow best. There are some
very old folks about our town, but young
people die as well as old, and some ofthese

A Mob and "A Man.

Through the darkness of the crime
that spread over DanviIle last Satur-
day night there came one ray at say
ing light. 1t came from IL. X Whit
lock. the man who did his duty and
queled the mob.
For an hour Danville had been Civ
en- over to brutal cruelty. A recreant
mayor had permitted the mob to tear
n prisoner from the city Jail and tor.
ture him TO death. Having TASTED
blood the mob demanded more.
There was a rush for the county jail
and further victims.
There the mob met n man, and
went down before him Sheriff Whit
lock warned and argued. lie was
answered with howlB and an attempt
to break down the jail door He fired
upon the mob
The mob fell back bowling. II hGd
met It's master. 1t stood of and threw
stones for time, but it dared not
come again to close quarters with The
one resoIute man pacing up and down
the Jail veranda, his weapons ready,
Finally the mob skunk back into the
darkness, leaving the man alone, Wig
liant and triumphant,
That picture of Sheriff Whitlock
pacing up and down, guarding the
charge intrusted to him by the people
and the laws of Illinois, il one that
will not fade from the memory 1t
tells what is the kind Of man who
saves civilization from savagery.
AS long as civilization can muster
enough of that kind it will endure
The man who knows his duty and
does it., tearlessly, completely, to the
end at no matter what cost is the
real Pillar of Society which cannot
be removed.

As long as there remains the love of
beauty IN the human soul so long will
the glory Of California scenery and
that of the whole Pacific coast prove
a source of inspiration to the poetic
mind. Descriptive verse has been
from the beginning a marked feature
of the literature OF this region. In fact,
the term landscape poets may be
properly applied TO this beyy OF song
birds which seemed to the late Maurice
Thompson to have taken complete
possession of the entire western sea
board" Suffice It to say that If vol
une Of verse were written by a Call
fornian which reflected nothing OF the
states scenic beauty or is warmth of
color il would not only come as a sur
Prise TO most reviewers, but the loyalty
of the poet might be seriously ques-
toned. While all this display of local
color may seem too apparent an effort
on the part of Californians to place up
on their work the stamp OF definite
locality. and may be considered by
some cheap form of art II is this very
constituencies to beauty and grandeur
with which nature has clothed the west
that offers the most promise of its
rapid literary adyancement-a sensl-
