the trouble yez be at ivry year over
the summer house, an I've bin afther
kapin' an eve open meself Here's the
yiry place for us. a foine cotthage for
nnst the shore, with the most Elegant
back porch.
Estelle-What on earth would we
want a back porch for, Mary?
Mary A.-Sure. thin, an I wouldn't
be afther spindin' me summer at no
place that hadn't q back porch.
Mr. Burtis (glancing at the picture in
the paper)-It is twice as much as we
want to pay, and the shore always
brings on my rheumatism.
Estelle-And takes the curl out of my
hair.
Mrs. Burtis-The sound of the ocean
gets on my nerves.
George-Over an hours trip! Out of
the question!
Mary A-Sure, thin, an yez'll never
get another house wild such a back
porch!
The family adjourns to the further
end of the room and takes counsel
anew, while Mary returns to work.
Mr.. Burtis-Now, you know, Sarah
your Mohonk proposition is not to be
considered. 1t is too far away to begin
with, and George never could get on
don't allow cards you couldn't enjoy
your solitaire.
Mrs. Burtis-Well if my suggestion
is not to be considered your sylvan re-
treat is equally out of the question. 1t
would never in the world do to so fly
in the face of Providence as to be
within walking distance of Aunt Julia
and Caroline Webb.
Estelle-You are right, mother, and
to be in a place where there are young
men only after in the evening and
before s in the morning would be an
absolute waste of time and money.
George Chopefully)-Then what about
Staten Island?
Estelle-Laugh. and the world laughs
with you-go to Staten Island and you
go alone!
George (ruefully)-I don't see it.
Mrs. Burtis (conciliatorily)-I have
heard there was an occasional mosquito
in that part of the world, my boy.

Written for The Herald by Joseph D.
Lynch.

The death of Jean Marie Vignes the
other day called to the great beyond
the last noted vineyardist and vingeron
of Los Angeles. He was preceded. Il
couple of years ago. to the bourne from
which no traveller returns, by Mr.. Stern
Of Stern & Rose, and earlier of Stern
& Perkins, who was the first to intro
duce California wines into New York
on a commercial scale.
Mr.. Stern was killed by trolley car
on Macy street just across the river,
within a block or two from his ware
house and winery, and about the same
distance from an extensive vineyard
which once stood on Macy street. A
couple of years before this catastrophe
Senator l.. j. Rose his old time part
ner, killed himself in his magnificent
palace at the corner of Grand avenue
and Fourth street. Thus there would
seem to have been sort of fatality at
tending our leading wine men. Young
Charley Kohler, of Kohler & Froehling
a man well known socially in Los An
geles and who was manager of the
Kohler & Froehling vineyard and
winery, which stood in this city where
populous streets now abound, killed
himself in a Turkish bath establish
ment in San Francisco.
Not so did it happen TO Jean Marie
Vignes, who passed away full of years
and honors, as had passed away his
uncle, who had made wines and bran
dies in Los Angeles in 1S35-seventy-
one years ago-and had exported them
all over the coast and to New York,
Central America and Asia.
Its Greatness
Only old-tmers. and few of the few
who remain at that, know how
great has been the wine and brandy
interest in Los Angeles county. A
reliable authority states that forty
five years ago this county furnished
nearly all the wine made in the state.
and that as late as 1865 it produced
more wine than all the other counties
put together, and that, even as late
as 1875, there were many large Vine
yards right in the heart of the city of
Los Angeles.
These We're located on Main, Also,
Pico, Ninth and Macy streets, and
there have been hundreds of others
, within mile of the Huntington build
| ing on the corner of Sixth and Main
| streets. The Norris vineyard until a
comparatively recent period stood to
! the west of Main street, a little this
side of the Chutes
The first wine making, other than
| that carried on by the padres, was done
| by John Louis Vignes, the uncle OF
Jean Marie, recently deceased He
planted 10000 square feet of vines not
half a mile from where the court house
now stands, in 1880. and from which he
succeeded in cellaring 1900 gallons of
VINE IN 1885, and which he put into
casks made by himself from oaks which
! grew out near the Arroyo Seeo. This
wine Mr. Vignes sold to whalers and
masters OF other vessels. and to coast
! towns between San Pedro and san
Francisco, some of II going abroad.
For nearly sixty years each church
of the mission system made red wines

want to take another city house, do
you?
Mr.. Burtis (angrily)-Well, / wash
my hands of the matter. It's the same
year after year. Nobody will listen
to my suggestions, and I'm talked down
and persuaded to take a house that is
three times more than | can afford.
don't see why you can't stop in town.
This house is good enough for me, and
il I don't require Il change of air /

Mrs. Burtis-It's all Estelle. She Will
never listen to reason, and drags us to
senseless places year after year for
something to happen, which never does!
Estelle (still pouting)-That's right,

From Foreign Stock

There is no death! the forest leaves
Convert TO life the viewless air;
The rocks diSorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death! the dust we tread
Shall change, beneath the summer
showers,
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no death! the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, thru wintry hours,
The warm, sweet breath of May.
There is no death! the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country of their birth.
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss has left us desolate,
Are safely garnered there.
Tho life becomes a dreary waste,
We know it's fairest, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice of bird-lke melody
That we have missed and mourned
so long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death! altho we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms;
Altho with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseess dust to rest,
And say that they are dead:
They are not dead they have but
passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.

To put their shining raiment on:
They have not wandered far away
They are not lost" or gone"
Tho disenthralled and glorified,
They still are here and love us yet;
The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget.
And sometimes, when our hearts grow
faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
OF grief or passion sweep,
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath of

Their arms enfold us, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.

the source of all the California brandies

New York, July 21.-With q woman

store few doors from Broadway on
Twentieth street late at night and car
ried out a truckload Of valuable ap-
parel while occupants of the Con-

The woman directed the men of the
gang in selecting the material to be
taken. She accompanied them from
the truck into the store and followed
each bundle of clothing out to the
street. There she superintended the
packing of it on the wagon
All this the Continental patrons
saw. not suspecting that the store was
being robbed. They believed the con

was a saleswoman or floors walker in

carrying cut bundle after bundle. An
inventory taken later disclosed that
about 1000 pieces were taken, among
them 800 skirts and $50 raincoats, val.

London, July 21.-Introducing the
Indian budget in the house of COM
mons Indian Secretary Morley sounded
a warning note on the necessity of ex-
GLIDING India from the field Of party
politics. The most engrossing of Great
Britains foreign relations, he declared,
were the Asiatic, those involving this
country with China, Japan and Russia,
which was an Asiatic as we'll as a
European power. Every false step in
India would send Great Britain in a
confusion infinitely more dire and
more disastrous than had the false
step taken il South Africa.
ndia' s case in the free trade con-
5troversy can be put In a nutshell, !" he
declared. Her prosperity and com
fort, the growth Of her trade and COM
merce and the solvency of India hang
on haE exports. The United Kingdom
takes Is per cent Of her exports, while
Europe and the Far East take rs per
cent. Thus when the people of Great
Britain asked India for preferential
duties they were asking her to, dis
criminate against three-fourths Of her
customers" Il Il. 81. Il
@ Mr.. Morley considered the time ripe
for an advance in the Improvement Of
the system of the government Of India.
