original house came from England.
These windows had the lozenge-shaped,
loaded glass panes, and although long
ago replaced, the old ones have been in
part preserved as curiosities.
The visitor has to stoop and step down
to enter the house. The two gambre1
roof additions to the main house are
over hundred years old, but were not
part of the original structure. The
front door is now in the end next to the
street.
This clean to" back of the main house
held the old dairy, and still preserved
are the heavy oaken shelves which used
to hold pans of milk. There stands the
old cheese press in it's corner, useless for
years.
And the old china Some of it was
old and valuable when Jonathan Fair
banks brought it over from England.
Every piece almost has history. Miss
Rebecca's cat drinks milk out of blue
saucers that are almost priceless.
The windows of the old kitchen looked
out across broad meadow, facing to
the south. Inside a tall person can
hardly stand upright. The beams OF
live oak are blackened and the room is
sombre with age and use. The modern
cook stove stands in front of the closed
fireplace.

There is an old coffee pot with the
initials of Jonathan Fairbanks on it.
In an upst airs room where generations
of Fairbanks children were born, stands
the old wooden cradle in which all were
rocked. In an old chest are laces and
embroideries, samplers in cross stitch,
and in old fashioned band boxes some
bonnets even stranger in shape than the
creations of today.
In the other chamber is also co1lec-
ton of antiques, including the chest
brought over from England by the pio-
neer Fairbanks.

A ProdIglous Cycling Paradox.

The Great Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers United Shows. to exhibit here
on July 3Oth, and which were the first
to introduce all the notable cycling SEN
sations Of the day, play the final trump
card in that connection the present
season by presenting Cyclone" in his
wildly wondrous bike ascension of the
absolutely perpendicular inside. from
start to finish of THE DEVILS Chimney"
This most extraordinary feat is the
successor to and supplanter of the one
brought out at Madison Square Garden,
New York, by the shows named, and
under the title of "The Wild Whirl Wheel
Wonders" and which created a big
sensation there and throughout the
country.
But the last-named act was accom-
plished with the aid Of slanting track,
while Cyclone mounts straight up
from the ground. The most powerful
and alert-winged bird could not do such
a thing as that. How Cyclone sue
ceeds in doing it is the philosophic puzzle
of the age.

A California Tomato Vine.

The skyscraper stage has been reached
in the development of the tomato in
southern California. One of the latest
prodigies in that succulent vegetable is a
group of three 3O-foot vines that have
borne fruit at all seasons and under all
sorts Of climatic conditions. These re-
markable growths are in the gardens of
F. c. Case in Pasadena. 1t is necessary
to use an 1S-foot ladder to harvest the
tomatoes, for the vines have covered a
trellis 20 feet in height, where, they have
tangled themselves into thick, compact
mass of greenery. The seeds of these
wonderful plants were sown last May
and have been growing and bearing fruit
ever since; in fact. the vines are always
filled with bloom and both green and ripe
fruit.-[Lo Angeles Times.

ing the past few months had its effect
upon the the quarry men but it is ex-

Costs Nothing Unless Cured.
A Fair Offer Made by w. b. Eastma
to all Sufferers from Catarrh.

W. B Eastman is selling Hyomei on a
plan that has caused considerable talk
amongst his customers.
The plan is diff rent from that followed
by other remedies, but the remedy itself
is different also. This treatment for the
cure of catarrh has such an unusual re-
cord of cures to its credit that w. B..
Eastman offers to refund the money if it
does not give the desired benefit. This
is certainly one of the fairest offers that
can be made and any one who has ca
tarrh and does not take advantage of it
is doing himself or herself an injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with tickling,
smarting, burning, eye-watering troubles
that aff1ict those who have catarrh.
Hyomei will cure you, but if you should
not find it adapted to your case, w. B.
Eaatman will return your money.

BOYS TOO YOUNG
To be Held for Rape, and Will Probably Escape
Punishment.

In the case of the four boys arrested
last week for assaulting five year ole
girl, with criminal intent, the case came
up for trial Tuesday in Justice Pearse n ;.
court.
After hearing the evidence, the court
ruled that under the law-the bows be no
under the legal age-they could not be
held for rape or attempt to commit rape
but that they could be tried for assault
and battery, and it being the opinion Of
the court that it had jurisdiction in the
case sufficient to give adequate punish.
ment, the case was set for yesterday
morning. When the case was called the
prosecuting attorney made motion that
the case be dismissed on the grounds
that the justice court did not have iuris.
diction in the case, as it could not give
adequate punishment; the justice court
being limited to 80 days in Jail and 500
fine as punishment. The court allowed
the motion, and the boys were discharged
without date, although the previous day
it had ruled directly opposite to that
motion.
AS to what action will be taken fur
ther in the matter remains to be seen.
The actions of the Judge and prosecuting
attorney indicate that the evidence
showed the child to have been assaulted,
and that the boys complained of were
the guilty parties.
