MEN ARE TO BLAME.
Responsible, Says Mrs. Russell Sage,
for American Homalessness.


From the New York Tribune.
1t is customary for those VINO aepiure the
tendencies of modern life to put all the
blame for everything that IS wrong upon
women, but Mrs. Russell Sage takes diff
ferent view of the matter In article in
the Club Woman she holds the American
man responsible in a great degree. for
modern American restlessness and homo
lessness.
I'VE hear little nowadays of re oDIlsa-
tons of the father to his children" says
Mrs Sage. The modern father is not like
the Scotchman of Philadelphia, who SAID:
I co my share in caring for these seven
children On the contrary the modern
father says: Let the nurse take care of the
children. We will go TO the park
The paternal instinct is not strongly de-
veloped in the average man. He must be
diverted and the woman, ms -ea q of being

as an effect and not cause. The growing

Smart Hat Models.
Some of the smart hats in this trousseau

ribbons caught with buckles, while the

model was of old rose velvet, draped with
dalencon lace. 1t had shaded satin rib

 It is rumored that the carrying capacity of the Santa Fe railroad is to be more than doubled within the year to enable the expenditious handling of the business that may accrue from the new lines now be- ing built into the interior of Cali fornia. Heavier steel will be laid on large part of the system and more side tracks will be put in. The track force is more than three times what it was a year ago and additions to this force is being made right along.

New Tax Law.

The new law governing the col lection of delinquent taxes is a "corker" for tax dodgers, and we have many of them in this county, says the Graham Guardian. Those people who have been boasting that they never have paid their taxes and never will, and say that other people are fools for paying, will now sing to different music.
 The new law operates by attach ment and execution. If taxes are not paid on or before the last of December, the tax collector at taches the property, and at the next term of court secures judg- ment and sells the property under execution. In effect it operates the same as selling property under ex- ecution for private debt.
 The new law not only affects the future delinquent taxes, but dates back as far as 1898. All property that is shown by the records to be delinquent since that date, will be taken into court by the tax collec- tor and when he secures judgement the property will be sold and de- livered to the purchaser. Our ad- vice to all who own property shown to be delinquent, is to immediately take steps to redeem it or they will be sorry for their neglect.

The fence will inclose fifty odd square miles of desert land, commencing on the northern foothills of the Santa Rita mountains and extending nearly to the Santa Cruz river. This land will come under the bureau of plant industry investigation, and the ob- ject of inclosing the tract is to try to get it back to it's natural state. On portion of it the authorities will plant new grass as an expert mental test as to what kind of grass will thrive in this section, but the principal object is to let the land grow back to it's natural state. In Oregon. Washington and South Dakota the government has laid out large tracts of land in a similar manner and have obtained wonderful results in the study of pasture lands and applied the knowledge to the planting of grass on the ranges.

Time and many other things all

love into a manifestation-we call

Man himself is a miracle of mir

bers of "The Society of Psychic Re-

strated and proved in late years that
man has great psychic powers which

ago-was stamped as the vagaries of
a lunatic. Ernest, persistent thinking
will redeem man from much Of his
ignorance. Look at this-after spend
ing millions and devising thousands
of mechanical devices man cannot

MENTAL INERTIA.

Mans greatest Incidence is in not
thinking. Ninety-nine per cent of man
kind, even among adults, shirk from
brain work.
1t is a rare exception for anyone
not to pursue a thought channel of
least resistance. We envelope our
selves with wrappings of notions, ira
ditions and hearsays. Majestic ideas
are only born after long, continuous,
persistent work and endeavor.
-
Most people form opinions and
judgments from one-sided suggestions,
from one point of view. This is done
in the most important affairs of life.
They don't stop to hear, weigh, inyes-
tigate, consider, measurer-they make
no effort to sift the chaff of error from
grains of truth.
This mental inertness is what makes
most opinions Of little value. The
silly vaporings and witless nothings
we daily hear would almost warrant
the conclusion that many people look
upon life as a; big joke, instead OF a
stern reality.
Most of us thrash out the same err
rors over and over again, before we
can get little common sense Jared
into our anatomy. II we daily would
stop and weigh and consider what we
are about to do, many things would be
left undone and a different course
would be pursued. At the bottom
mental laziness is the great fault.
The world all about us and within
us is full of mysteries, challenging our
investigation. We rest complacently
on little surface observation. A
man down at Atchison, Kas., says that
life is plain proposition with only
few simple things to know to get
along all right" What does he know
about Force? Yes, and thousandfold
complexity Of Forces. Everywhere
force. Force in the sun, force in the
icicle, force in the lightning, force in
the rotting blade of grass. From
whence comes it? How was it cre-
afed and whittier does 1t go? 1t must
be as limitless as eternity. We stand
