The pRoSPEcToR cocITATES.
BY F. A. BANER.


His soul longs for luXeries and he
buck jumps when it comes to sour
d ugh bread ard canned food.
The Indian summer sure is here,
A dry and smoky time of year.
The shrubs do now their garments
change
And vivid colors splotch the range.
The wary deer these frosty morns
Scratches the velvet from his horns,
And stamps around and shakes his head
And walks away with kingly tread.
The backbirds too, in focks do meet,
And soon will hike, if they re discreet,
To where the winters snow falls not
And there's no danger of the pot.
But still the days are warm and fine
And thoughts turn fondly to the vine
In favored lands, where melons thrive,
And where the small boy doth contrive
To hook enough from night to night
To leave the patch in sorry plight.
It's nice to take fishing hook,
A pipe, tobacco and book,
And wander to mountain stream
And smoke and read, and rest and dream
And maybe have little doze
And let the flies crawl on your nose,
And dream you're in the sweet south
land
With nightingales to beat the band,
Where lightning bugs as all their kind
Do wear their headlights on behind.
love to sit beside a dyke
And keep my brain upon the hike
Figuring out the ore in sight.
It's fun to fly the mental kite.
If you would grow the shooting corn
You must be with it night and morn;
But further from dyke you get
The larger it doth grow, you bet.
The quartz upon the barman's shelf
Makes your quartz rich, and thus your
self;
But in the morn doth come remorse
And in your quartz you find horse.
These evergreens my soul doth grind
I'm tired of frs and pines, find.
I'd like to be where leaves do turn
And nuts of all sorts are to burn.
Where pumpkin pies will soon be ripe
And with sack you catch the snipe,
And chase the frisky oyster home
AS DER the raging main you roam.
Where sourdough bread would be con-
signed
To regions l have we'll in mind.
And all things to eat are not in
A sheet iron can covered with tin.

RECALLS OLD DAYS
In GOLDEN STATE

Like listening to good talker, whose
fascinating with the romance of real
ity as is the richest of imaginative fic-
ton, and who tells them easily, in sim
pie, reminiscent style, as one seated In
comfortable, big arm chair, by the
fireside among his old friends, and
gives out the stories as they rise pic
turesquely to his memory, is the read
ink the new book, THE Gold Hunters
of California" written by the pioneer,
Thomas Edwin Parish. The words
written" and read" are here used in
order to stick to the matter of fact but
really the mental impression left
after the perusal is that we have been
listening with eager ears to tongue told
stories.
The subject of this oId-time talk Of
old times is good, and the manner of
handling it is so admirable that it must
delight all Californians, old and young;
we feel so sure that we are getting the
information at first hand and that the
history told has been a live thing to
the mind which thus vividly recalls it.
gives to our knowledge of the early
days is one of the features of the book
We get fresh views Of the writer's,
Bret Harte, Mark Twain and Phoenix;
accounts of the men on whom fortune
smiled so bountifully that she seemed
gone mad with generosity-O Brien,
Flood, Fair, Mackay; presentations Of
the striking personalities of those who
won by so much of sheer energy and
pluck-Stanford, Haggin, Miller, Tevis,
James H. Keene. and, perhaps. most
romantic figure Of all, Ralston; we are
told of the fighters in those fierce duel
ing days, and out from among them
stands brightly forth, challenging to
this day our admiration, that demo-
cratic scion Of English nobility, Fair
fax, who broke all the records of chiv-
alrous fighting by staying his hand
when his assailant's life was at his
mercy, saying: Remember, have
spared your life for the sake Of your
wife and children" The book was
worth the writing to FIX that one incl
dent in the memory of men.
There is an interesting bit of gossip
to the effect that General Albert Sid
ney Johnston left it to his wife to de-
eide if he should cast in his lot with
the Confederate States: and there Is
this tribute to his honorable action
while waiting for Lincoln to accept his
resignation of his post in California:
Regardless of section a grateful peo-
pie will ever revere the memory of one
who kept faithfully his trust. though
at the sacrifice of that which he held
dearer than life itself"

BRADY DEALS WITH
TEXAS STRUGGLE

"The Conquest of the Southwest by
Cyrus Townsend Brady, is brief
historical sketch of the series of opera
tions which began with the colonial
ton of Texas and closed with the
Gadsden purchase. Tt has for subtitle,
1.-The Story of a Great Spoliation, and
shows forth that part Of our history in
such way as to make its contempla-
tion a strong argument for the avoid
ance Of war. AS a mere question Of
economy the acquisition of the new
territory by the methods pursued is ex-
planned to have been spendthrift folly,
for it could have been bought from the
Mexicans for third what it cost.
He quotes a paragraph from the works
of President Roosevelt which proves
that Roosevelt could approve the sub
title of the book, for in his life of Ben
son he speaks of our encroachments
upon the boundaries of our neighbors
in these words: What became known
as the manifest destiny idea. which,
reduced to it's simplest terms, was
that 1t was our manifest destiny to
swallow up the land of all adjoining
nations who were too weak to with
stand us; a theory that forthwith OBJ
tanned immense popularity among all
statesmen of easy international NOR
atty"
The most interesting part of the book
is that giving an account of the revolu-
ton in Texas, with sketches Of the
fighters who took part in it. The story
of the famous defense of the Alamo is
briefly but we'll given, and there are
two spirited pictures, one of 'Bowie's
Last Shot" and the other of the Death
of David Crockett" to help US imagine
that desperate fight to annihilation of
the brave 180 Texans against the $500
Mexicans who stormed the old mission
church. He says: "The defense of the
Alamo was the most heroic exploit in
American history. The in
scription on the monument erected aft
erward to the defenders of Alamo, at
the State capital at Austin, lis entirely
true:
:. .Thermopylae had it's messenger Of
defeat, the Alamo had none.'"

CALIFORNIA NOVEL
BY WESTERN WOMAN

Geraldine Bonner, in 1.-The Pioneer -
has produced another story, which
should have added interest for the
people Of this State, because of it's
local coloring. Like her previous book,
To Morrow's Tangle,' it tends to fa-
miliarize US with the way in which
the conditions of our environment have
helped to mold the characteristics of
the people among whom we live. Books
of this type, when they are good
studies of human trial and conduct,
as this is, double such advantage as
they possess for the general reader
when they come to the, attention of
those who are being played upon by
the forces of the same environment of
which the story makes special study
This new novel, by woman who
knows her California as the alphabetc
links the picture of life on this coast
in the exciting times close to the
financial frenzy of '49 to the life of the
succeeding generation in the seventies
Much of the spirit of those times must
still have direct effect upon our
destinies and the insensible molding
much of it will indirectly act around
us and upon us by the force of hered-
ity still holding the children of those
pioneers to the traits of the energetic
adventurers, and so setting pace
which new blood and new conditions
may modify but not control.
Considering the feature of the books
interest as apart from its study Of a
most romantic land and romantic
period, it is the tale of the fatherly
love which a man of middle age, with
out family ties, felt for the daughter
of the woman he had wished for, and
expected to marry. The man is Colonel
james Parrish, s'the pioneer" When
he found himself foiled of his dream Of
wife and home he stayed strong
through the sitting process and turned
his attention to building UP fortune
in mining ventures The man, to whose
impetuous but ignoble wooing the
woman OF the pioneers first love
yielded, did not stay strong; and so
there came about the conditions In
which the daughter of the weak man
needed the saved strength of the pio-
neer and beautifully at the last some
of the bitterness of the thwarted pas
sion passed away In the joy of it's
magic fulfillment by transformation to
a love for the young girl-pure and un-
selfish. like the love the guardian
angels feel
There are interesting, well presented
side issues to this main one in the
story, but it is that which chiefly

scious of his power to attract to him.
self the attention of the people, with
lofty ideals, a clear comprehension of
the relations of events, of extraordinary
energy and true Roman strength, mod
ified by Grecian culture, Scipio, rare
exception in that fierce struggle of the
nations, had kept in his heart a place
for the feelings of humanity and mag
nanimity that. after long years of muir
der and destruction, had become almost
ncomprehensible.
The volume closes with an account of
the downfall of the republic because it
was impossible to continue it after the
virtue which had formed its true foun-
dations had ceased to be. 1t tells of the
magnificent luxury in those last days,
when villas and gardens were made
with prodigal expenditure of the mar
bles of Greece, Italy and Africa. A
handsome colored plate gives glimpse
of the beautiful interior decoration of a
Roman house of that age. 1t is ex-
quisite as a sample of the fine art of
home ornamentation; worthy of a
purer people and worth copying at the
present time. Alas, the feasting in
these artistic rooms was carried to
shameful excess and the luxury could
not last, for Along with this a deep
immortality penetrated social life. The
noble dignity of the Roman women had
long since disappeared; countless di-
vorces on slight grounds went hand in
hand with loose intrigues. Family life
in all classes was shaken to the foun-
dation. Yenality was common in all
classes; perjury and forgery were usual
crimes"
