DAVIS ORANGE GROVE SOLD
Fruit Ranch Near GIendora Station
Bought by r. j. LaidlaW

A. e. Davis, through the agency Of
orange grove at Glendora to r. j.
Laidlaw. The property is located
about two miles south of Glendora sta
tion, at the corner of Gladstone and
Grand avenues. The ranch consists of
five acres planted to Valencia oranges,
ten years old, eight acres navels, nine
years old, and five acres Thompson i'm
proved navels, three years old. The
balance of the land is occupied by
buildings and ornamental ground.
There is a modern two-story, seven
room house and well-built barn on
the place. The consideration was in
the neighborhood of $4,000 cash.
In view of the fact that the crop on
the trees worth about $25OO, goes with
the place and that the improvements
are worth about $4,000, the grove it is
claimed was sold remarkably cheap.
Mr.. Davis, who has owned the place for
nine years, is getting advanced in years
and is in poor health. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis are planning to go up to Placer
county for a few months for change
of climate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Laidlaw formerly lived
at Placentia where they owned a fine
orange grove which they sold last
spring with the intention of moving to
Canada to live. After spending a
number of months in Canada they de-
cided that California was the place for
them after all, and have bought the
Davis ranch with the intention OF max
ing II their home.

reasons it was important to be concise
to avoid needless words, writes Freder-
lex NJ. Bird in the Literary Era.

their pupils disregard their instruc-

SpoIIed All

W. Carl Ely of Buffalo, the president
of the American Street Railway associ'

ton in Philadelphia about motormcn's
and conductors adventures.
"a conductor came TO me with a

He. wanted to tell me what had hap.

; ut seems that a middle-aged woman
aud her little son, a lad of six or seven
years. got on the car. and as soon as
tthey were seated the woman took q
half dUatar out of her pocket and hand,
ed it to the yOungster TO pay the fare
with.
"Tbe boy held the coin in his small,
fat hand. and examined it closely and
solemnis.
"The conductor appeared for the
fares ana the youngSter gave him the
half ds|iaT with Owlish %sOlemnity.
The money was pocketed, and 40
cents in change was put in the small
extended hand.
"As seo<l as he got this change the
boy laughed, wriggled in his seat and
shouted gleefully:
oh. ma, he's taken the bad half
dollar"

When Peggy Pokes the Fire.

When Peggy pokes the kitchen fire
She makes a picture fair;
1 linger till / miss my car
To see her working there.
She takes the poker half way up,
Perhaps n little higher,
Falls on her knees before the range
And starts to poke the fire.
Her slender arms are fair to see,
Barred to her elbows white;
Her graceful movements as she jabs
lust fill me with delight,
Left handed? Oh, but what of that?
1 never could quite tire
OF seeing Peggy on her knees
While poking at the fire.
What tho the coal comes tumbling down
And one side all goes out?
She says a man can't poke a fire,
She knows what she's about.
And so she pokes and jabs way,
While l can but admire
The warlike picture she presents
While poking at the fire.
I often wish to move away
Upon n better street,
Where Peggy could attain the set
She always yearned to meet.
But one thing ever holds me back
From promenading higher;
Poor Peg would find the gas ranges there
And couldn't poke the fire.

Women Physicians In RussIa,

Russia has long prided herself on
having the first ome physicians.
The C~hautauquan refers to the career
of Nadezhda Susloff, one of the earliest
and best women doctors, as particular
ly interesting. Born a serf, and freed,
with her parents at the emancipation
in 1861, she and her brothers and sis
tiers received the best possible educa-
ton at home and abroad. for her par
ents were both extremely intelligent
and her father acquired wealth after
gaining his freedom. Everywhere in
Russia and in the continental schools
Nadezhda was brilliantly successful.
For thirty years there has been no
manner of doubt as to the sympathy of
the public and Of the medical world
with the idea Of thorough medical in
struction for women. Men started the
movement. In 1870 one professor and
two other men undertook to establish
courses for ~instructing women. In ten
years there were $50 women students
the majority coming from the "privi-
legged classes"-that is to say not peas
ants. The majority were members of
the Russian church, but there were
several Jewesses, Roman Catholics and
Lutherans. In 1877 t~wenty-four stu
dents were sent to the seat of wal.
during the Russo Turkish campaign.
and did so well that they received i'm
perial permission to call themselves

~cians." and to wear a badge"

his field. ! hitched the horse and went
over to him and asked:

hoe.
Yes, I asked a man back here about

"What'd he say?"
81 understood him to say that it was
nine miles"
"Well, then, it's 'leven."

but found the distance only seven
miles. Returning that way next day, I
encountered the farmer moving weeds
along the highway and said:
why did you tell me yesterday that

must have known that it was only
