DRUMMING UP AN EXCUSE

The tattoo artist to the king Had always been most dutiful, And he could tattoo anything In manner that was beautiful. One day the king thought of test And called the artist, telling him Another artist was the best And he should be excelling him. The king produced rare design Upon tattoed attache And said, "Beat that in every line Upon the form of Katisha." The tattoo artist took a knife And gloomily sought suicide. "ThOngh 1 should tattoo all my life can't beat that tattoo," he sighed.

BUTTER MILK HELPS IT OUT
The North End Has nPm It Onto Usn A Little Bit Tn The Matter
 of Purchases

The Press report last week of the Brawley sale was incomplete owing to the time of going to press, and it is now supplemented with the following from the Times correspondence.
 One of the greatest sales of land under the hammer in the history of the South west has ended here, the total result of the auction amounting to $35,O ,OOO.
 The engine of the excursion train that was run into the valley from Los Angeles Wednesday by Willis G. Emer- son was recalled from Imperial where it was compelled to go for fuel and water, and preparations were begun to get the big camp on wheels ready to start ill the early morning hours. The usually placid social life of this community has been considerably agitated during the forty-eight hours that this annexed vil- lage from the coast has lain at it's gates, and it has become quite fashionable thing for Imperial Valley folks to come down to the dining-car where service is a la carte, and treat their friends to fancy menu. People are always looking for something new the world over, and the imported restaurant seems to be popular resort.
 The happiness of settlers in this wonderful region IS contagious, and ex- cursionists who come here in a skep- tical frame of mind are going away scolding themselves because they did not buy this lot or that tract of land when they had chance and congratu- lating one another on pieces they were lucky enough to bid in.
 In the early hours of this morning, before the worst heat of the day, the visitors were taken for drive over the fertile region surroundins Brawley in rigs furnished by residents. The sight was a revelation. Comfortable ranch homes, husbandmen moving fragrant stretches of alfalfa. broad fields of way ing grain, new sprouting corn and abun- dant hay, sleek cattle, fat hogs and ca pacious canals brimming with water, made the sightseers, feel that here, where the desert was supreme but year ago and still threatens in the dist ance, are vertically the green fields of Eden.
 An example of the unique hospitality of region as we'll as of it's productive ness, was the wholesale buttermilk drinking, but that occurred this after noon. Twenty gallons were sent up for the visitors with the compliments of w. B. Haze, whose creamery at Imperial turns out 600 pounds of butter day, and the unique native brew was served out free to the thirsty lot buyers, from great pitchers.
 The large sales recorded are princi- pally in town lots. The Southern Pacific tracks are laid practically into Calexico and the company has promised the peo- pie daily through train between there and Los Angeles as soon as finished.

TIE SAINT THE PROPHET

Consider now the summer bonnet
and the Sumner dress also.
My son, listen unto the words Of
wisdom.
If there be a h It whereupon there
are red roses and white daisies, ard
the prices thereof is fifty sheke's of
silver.
And if there be hat whereupol
there are green roses and blue daisies
and the price thereof is an hnndrt d
shekels.
Then will the .irst at stay upon
the shelf of the market pace.
And the reason IT, reoi is that the
flowers upon the cond are unusual
and verify the price is also.
And the Summer dress, let us pom
der few ponder ngs upon ii:
Now, behold, if it be decreed that
the dress shall be built for a woman
who is round, or square, or triangular
thus it shall be.
Surely even as though sayest, there
be no woman that is round or square
or triangular.
Wherefore, why should st lot the
dress be made to fit the woman? Be
cause it giveth greater joy to make
the woman fit the dress.
Yea, truly. And one taketh four
armlengths of wire and the price Of
a pound of hay in feathers ard the
value O. farthing in RIO and
sew ng it together and caIleth it a
poem, and the price thereof putteth
man to s:eep-yea, it throweth him
tut heavy slumber.
Yet a ma" ia eth gold brick and
goeth into tn highway and selleth
it as if it we're millinery, is he MOI
cIapred in'o prison and greatly re-
vilec?
Now the reason the reof is that gold
bricks are not in sty'e.

FARM LACONICS.

Now get ready for ate pota oplant-
ing and for field beans.
Keep the scythe moving on the
weeds around the house and outbuild-
ings. Don't give them a chance to
form seeds or become CONSPICUOUS OBJ
jects to sloppy farming. Neat home
surroundings add both content and
happiness and it is always desirable
to have neat and tidy premises.
Whitewash covers multitude Of
imperfections, a. least it can be made
to do so. There is an attraction about
whitewashed fence and outbuildings
that is inviting.
Dry sawdust makes good sum-
.er-time abs )rbent in tie stable
stalls.
The farmers feed them all
Ge' ready for root CROPS.
All kinds of live stock like mangel-
wurzels and other root crops.
Get the hills ready for the late
cabbage pans. If commercial fer
tilizer is used in tie hills mix it well
through soil short time before the
plants are set.
1t is a good plan to plant the seed
direct in hills for the late cabbages.
Put three seeds in a hill and finally
thin out to one plant. Cabbage re-
quires frequent cultivation, so keep
the soil we'll stirred about them.
See that all Laying implements and
tools are in perfect condition so as to
take advantage Of the good weathe'
when lay is ready to b, cat. Decays
are truly dangerous in baymaking
time.
There is much complaint Of corn
not coming up we'll this season. Go
over the Fl Id and replant the missing
hi Il. B tier use so ne early maturing
corn. Some farmers replaht with
sweet corn and use the ears for the
table or sell while green. The stalk
of the SWEET corn makes excellent
fodder.

Backed up by over third of century
of remarkable cures, record such as no
other remedy for the diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women ever attained,
the proprietors and makers of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to pay $500 in. legal
money of the United States, for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb which they cannot
cure. All they ask is fair and reasonable
trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States, with most of
whom they have done business for over q
third of century.
How to live in health and happiness, is
