How the Visitor From the East
Finally Capitulates.
You will not find every thing in south
ern California. You will miss the wide
stretches of green in the open places,
far removed from the dusty cities, the
noble trees, the clear streams Of wa
ter, the blue lake nestled in among the
pine clad mountains. You will: miss
that splendid. miracle the change Of
the seasons, when your whole nature
comes into closer touch with the great
mother heart Of nature than at any
other time in all the year.
You will miss much. But when you
have been here a year, when month
after month Of rare and beautiful
weather blend into each other, when
the sea wooes you and the flowers charm
you and the brown mountains beckon
you and the soft air soothes you, after
a year has passed you find there are
some compensations for the lovely
things you have left behind you. You
come to realize that nature has done
more for this stretch Of sea and noun
tain girt land than she has done for
any other spot on the globe.
You may have been charmed with
California when you came, you may
have been captvated after you had
been here q year, you may capitulate
and consent to be captured by the
time TWO golden summers have stolen
over you.-The World Today.

NAPOLEON'S POLICE.

They Were Well Watched TO insure
Full Measure OF Duty.
During the reign of Emperor Napo-
leon 7. at dinner in Paris the conver-
sation turned upon the emperor and
his government. One Of the company
remarked that he was q great man,
but was too fond Of war. When the
party broke up, a gentleman who was
present requested to speak In private
to the person who had made that OBJ
servation. "Sir," said he, II am sorry
for 1t, but I must request you to go
with me to the police" "Why" said
the other in the greatest apparent
alarm. s'l have said nothing against
the emperor but what every one must
acknowledge, that he is too fond Of
war. There can be no harm in that"
"With that have nothing to do. You
must go with me to the police" The
other now began to show the strongest
symptoms Of fear. He entreated the
police agent in the most pathetic Ian
guage to have compassion on him.
The other, however, stood unmoTed by
all his solicitation, when suddenly the
man rose from his knees and burst
into q laugh, to the utter astonishmeDt
of the informer. You think you have
caught me-" said he. "You are spy
Of the police. So am /, and was put
over you to see whether you would do
your duty"

King Gustarus Nv. Of Sweden, who
reigned in the early part Of the last
century, was taking supper one evening
with the Prince Of Baden and others,
among them q Count Lowenhjelm. Sud
denly, halfway through the supper, the
king let drop his knife and fork, and,
turning to Lowenhjelm, said, "Look!
Don't you see" at the same time gazr

Producer Not In It.

Uncontradicted facts, brought to
light in committee hearings in con-
gress during inquiries concerning leg
islation affecting labor and agricul-
tural interests in the United States,
show that nearly all American prod
ucts are sold cheaper in foreign coun-
tries than at home. By applying busi-
ness experience and facts to this dis
parity Representative William Ran
dolph Hearst of New York has forced
certain trust managers to admit that
they benefit by this system Of produc-
ton under special tariff privileges, yet
they do not permit their workmen to
share any proportion Of the advan-
tages. The employers take all the pros
perity, and, as the New York states
man has repeatedly emphasized in and
out Of congress, they give no concern
to the laborer or farmer.

THE COST OF A LEGACY.
Sometimes 1t Doesn't Pay to Inherit
Money IN Italy.

Money IN Italy.
In Italy it appears to be somewhat
expensive affair to inherit money
that is, if it be small sum. Not long
ago a young man died in the little
town Of Romagna who left Ira So
centesini, or not quite "a cents. This
sum, which had been deposited in the
postofce savings bank, became the
property Of the young mans father.
AS the amount was so small, the IA
ther thought it unnecessary to make a
declaration Of the legacy as the law
prescribes, especially as the stamped
paper on which the declaration must
be made would cost about % centesimi
more than the money involved
Three months afterward he received
a demand from the local state treasury
for the payment Of II lire 4S centesimi
(nearly So. Thinking a mistake had
been made, he took no notice Of this
demand, with the result that. later an
official called upon him and demanded
the immediate payment Of Is lire
$3.50. The father had not sufficient
money in hand, so the official TOOK pos
session Of the mans furniture. The
cost Of this seizure brought the total
sum to 80 lire, which the poor man
had to pay that same evening to avoid
the sale-of his goods by auction.

Six Million Approvn1s.

Honest and fearless newspapers are
the search lights Of modern civilization.
They lay bare the hidden, insidicIs
and powerful influences that tend o

mankind which bring content and JUS

The attributes Of William Randolph
Hearst find expression and effective
and beneficial dissemination in his
great journals published in New York,
Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and
Los Angeles.
The fact that 100000 people read
the Hearst da1lies indicates that be Is
expressing sentiments approved by a
large portion Of the American common
wealth.

Industrial Economics.

Trustworthy statistics declare that
the productive capacity Of every indi-
gidual American who works has been
multiplied 125 times in the past cen
tury by the perfection of labor saving
machinery.
Government experts who compile in
dusuial data assert that wealth Is in
creased in America at the rate Of $40
a day for every person who works.
Many trust managers now eliminate
consideration Of workmen as tndivid-
uals. The mechanic is considered an
automaton-a part Of the high speed
machine and the longer It runs the
more profit is made.
The manager Of the Homestead (Pa.)
Rolling mills, the armor plate factory
Of the steel trust, said in congress re-
Gently, 1--WE have only three laborers
in our mills-fre, water and electric
ity."
II find no difficulty IN running my
newspapers and starting new ones on

A congressional resolution to tnVes-
tgate the beef trust brought out these
facts: Stock raisers get too little for
cattle, consumers pay too much for
meat, ranchers are robbed by the COM
bination which keeps down the price
Of beef on the hoof, retail butchers
cannot sell at profit, dressed beef is
higher than three years ago and the
producer gets less, the cost Of handling
meats from ranch to block Is reduced.

Malay Poetry.

The Malays possess poetcal na-
ture and, like the Japanese, regard the
writing Of poetry as an art to be as
pired to by anybody. Short couplets
are their delight, especially those with
little moral attached. ORe founded
on the weather tends to comfort a per-
son who has been badly treated: "Now
it is wet, now it is fine. a day Will
come for retaliation" Then, again, Of
lovers they say, "As the owl slghs
longingly for the NOON" A young
and pretty bride they speak Of as be-
ing 'like a sarong not yet unfolded," !"
an apt illustration when one thinks Of
the bright colors Of new sarongs.

County Board SO to twelve schools in
the county, provided the schools will
raise SO by private means.
Five schools in the western part OF
the county and one in Salem have notl-
fed US that their $40 have been raised;
six others can come in. which we nope
they will do at once.
The county's portion is ready now
and the States will be in a few days.
We are anxious to have the libraries
established before the school term ends
so that the children get the books to
read during vacation.
We earnestly request all the teach
ers that can possibly do so attend the
association on the fourth Saturday,
2Gth, as we wish to consult them in ref
erence to summer school matters.
