A VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

by one who has familiarized him

how 10 express his ideas in an in

During the lecture he gave the
poem Of James Whitcomb Riley

in manner which thrilled every
heart.
The stereopticon pictures were
beautiful and h d we had a little of
the cool salt air Mr.. Cotton told
about, we certainly should, have
felt we were in that Earthly
Paradise" we read about.
The pictures dwelt on Califor-
MIA from San Francisco to San
Diego being mostly devoted to the
beautiful scenes in aud around San

AS delightful place to live San
Diego certainly has no equal, with
its magnificent land locked harbor,
its beautiful buildings, splendid

for miles with palms and shrubbery
its homes Utterly covered with
roses, and surrounded by almost
every known flower every day in

Mr.. Cotton touched on San

the growth Of the city and the pos

The Ioegoing applies to land
belonging to adults, but in the case
of minors the matter is very differ
ent. The courts Of all civilized
countries protect the minor, and
such is the case in the Indian Ter

will be, fully protected, and all
contracts with reference to lands
owned by minors must be made
in conformity with the laws COVER

sale of minors real estate. Con-
trocts made otherwise than pointed

Did you have any troubles Of your own to

lust obstacles that come UP in the ordinary run
Of every day business. and it's fellows duty to
take them as they come along and dispose OF
them to the pest of his ability. After you have
passed over them they don't look like troubles to
