The WHITE RIBBoNED QUEEN.
In past ages the path of the reformer and humani-
tartan was not strewn with roses. 1t takes time to
bring out the motives and higher characteristics
of these benefactors. From Paul to Luther and
Garrison to Cough these men have been the best
hated of their times. Probably the most noted
reformer and Christian leader in century was
Frances E. Willard. Maligned and criticised yet she
continued her way and accomplished what is pro-
badly the most noted and enduring work OF modern
times At her death the attention paid to her by the
press and pulpit almost equal to that paid to the

THE FUTURE PROSPERITY OF WYOMING.
The history of this great state is dealt with in detail
and extensively. It's early wars and settlements
described it's resources enumerated and it's possib
ties pointed out Facts and figures given to show
the enormous growth attained in the past decade,
and it is shown that Wyoming has not reached the
able things in the history of this state Its first
exploration in 1884, the Lewis and Clark party
passed through it in 1904 its exploration in 1884 by
party of 300, and the famous Custer massacre in
1915.

~ EVERY INCH KING.
When the colonists came to America they were
treated we'll by the Indians who trusted in them
until they were in the power of the white man.
The story of Philip of Pokonoket is the story of
one who fought and died IN an endeavor to free
his people from the power of the white man.
Philip was man of excellent character although
a savage. He fought until he died, and no name
stands for greater courage and love of home and
people He was a nobleman of the truest kind
and history does not do him justice.

- THE BLESSED ISLES.
Imagination is one of the highest attributes of
our faculties, and at the same time one of the
least appreciated. 1t is within the reach of all
and is solace and help to all irrespective Of
creed or station. 1t is land of broad and fertile
plains and cool groves where all may rest and be
refreshed. Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Ruskin
have wandered there and have told us something of
its beauties. The great masters Of ancient and
modern times have given us glimpses of it in
words, on canvas and in stone. Without this
human gift of imagination life would not be

upon new phase of our war for independence.

becoming an absolute monarch was seemingly
removed. But the Indifference of the people gave

Oratory from the earliest times has been esteemed

The stirring and troubulous times before the Civil

II The LEGACY OF ORPHEUs.
Among the older nations of whose history we
have any knowledge, music has been cultivated
from time immemorial. Representations of must
cal instruments occur on Egyptian obelisks and
tOmbs. Greek and Roman music was sort of
poetry or musical recitation. The music of the
early Christian church was poetry borrowed
from Greek and Hebrew music but greatly i'm
proved upon. The invention of the organ had
large share in the development of harmony.

No Fragrance in Flowers

There are fine flowers out here, but in
midwinter one may as we'll try and get
fragrance out of a stone. One cannot
see any green grass, but can ride foc
miles, and all one can see is dusty
fields and a few green trees and sage
bushes. The dust will soil any clothes
one can put on, there is so much alkad
in the ground. When it rains it seems
to me it comes down salt water instead
of fresh. When a man buys land he
has to buy the water. 1t is all irri
gated land out here. All the orange
groves and everything is irrigation.
The eastern man who thinks he can
come out here and raise vegetables ami
get a living makes big mistake. 1
will tell why. The greater part of the
vegetables are raised and peddled out
by John Cinnamon. There must be
about 1000 of them in that line of busi-
ness, and no man out here will try to
do it, a native, l mean, so why should
a man from the east think he can?
The chink will sell cheaper every time
than the white man. There must be
about 5000 to 10000 chinks in Los An
geles, and they are right in the heart
of the city. The chink is no fool.

put hot towels on my face, and let me
go. 1 handed him out silver dollar
and he gave me back 10 cents. a
chum of mine got the same as l did,
but it cost him S1.5O. They try and get
all the eastern people they can to come
here and get their money; and they do
it. too.
Even the little newsboys are onto it,
too. There are two evening papers
that sell for / cent, and good papers,
too. one will hear the boys sing out,

make money.
The police are very good; they never
catch anyone, unless it is some poor
hobo, and they take him and make him
work in what they call the chain gang.
This class of people help build the
streets of Los Angeles. A man who
gets out of funds is taken in, and has
to wear the ball and chain anywhere
from thirty to ninety days.
OF street lamps, the city has very
few, and they are a good ways apart.
That makes holdups easy, and there is
lots of that sort of thing done. The

Here is something that they do out
here. Take Chinaman that has been
ir this country fifteen or twenty years
and wants to go home. He sells his
papers to some Chinaman from Mexico,
and when the authorities find out about
him not having papers they deport him
to China. That gives him a free trip
home; he is money in and the United
States is out a good round sum.
