Tuesday that's been abroad since the

Thrice lucky is the man who has won
the love of charming Gertrude Eells.
Not in all the wide State is there
more winning maid than she-winning
in her naturalness, her disposition and
her charm of manner. Something Of
the dignity and charm of both sides of
her family seem to have descended
to her from the Eells and Shepherds.
In the early days of Oakland there
was no one more beloved than Miss
Eells' handsome grandfather, DIR.
James Eells. And the Shepherds were,
and still are, representatives of Oak

the armed forces of California, there
wasn't a brass buttoned soul to meet
him, either at Paso Robes, where he

AS the train drew UP to the station

Are We Growing Lazy ?

The London Daily Mail finds that
modern life tends to make us all lazy;
that people will no longer read poetry
because it requires effort; will no long
err row boats, dance dances or take a
game of whist seriously. And III this
change there turks a certain amount
of truth. The modern man will show
you plenty of energy when he thinks
it useful in his affairs. If he will not
read poetry he will at least spend
weary hours writing it, for the sake
of the ma gazine EDITORS check. If he
will not dance he will buy up a whole
theatrical troupe and wear himself
thin in trying to keep them on the
road. He no longer enjoys a quiet
game of whist with three old cronies
on Saturday night; but propose to him
a game Of bridge-well, that, too, is
something he can use in his business.
The fact is, the modern man is desper-
ately lazy when not doing something.

An Actors Blunder.

A theatrical manager tells of an anus
ing and ludicrous mistake made by a
young actor in play.
The young actor had up to this time
employed his talents in enacting such
roles as called for no speech on his part.
But in this play he was intrusted with
the following line, the only words to
be spoken by him during the entire
play:
'The king is dead! Long live the
king.'
The critical time arriving, it was OBJ
served by other players that the young
man who was to acclaim the new mon
arch in the words just quoted was suf-
fering from a dreadful attack of stage
fright. His cue came, but no words
could he speak, SO frightened was he.
Finally, however he pulled himself
together and in desperation shouted at
the top of his voice:
Long live the king; he's dead"

in his own district, from the

to the most prominent man In the
district, is it any wonder then that
as the discussion continues, all or
gained opposition to our congress
man is gradually disappearing, and
his unanimous denomination is re-
garded as an extreme probability
by all of the best-informed men of
the district? There is no valid
reason why the conspiring combina-
ton candidates can expect to carry
their own respective counties.
While the convention has been
called earlier than usuel, it is a
fact that the campaign of the con-
spirators has been going on for
months, and they still have two
weeks for scheming and visiting as
many of their friends as they desire.
The fact is, it was understood by all
candidates for some time before the
call that the convention would be
called early. More farmers can at
tend caucuses in February than at
any other time of the year.
