1907: by Byron Williams.
The Can.

The Can.
Dinners and gold are the winners's share
Glory and love for the ones who dare.
Up on the throne where the rubies glow,
There is the guy who has learned to
crowi
Nothing remains for the losing man;
Nothing at al1-but the rusty can!
Winners we toast with a servile cry,
Winners we hail as the car speeds byi
Seldom we ask did the man win
square?"
Somehow, the world doesn't seem to care.
Winners are winners-but now the ban
For the man who fails-and the rusty
cant
Maybe the winner has lied-or worse
Borrowed his honor and left his curse.
All, well, the Lord will adjust the
crowns;
He will expose all the fake renowns;
He will distribute the rusty cans;
He will put crowns on the "also rams"

are you in such bad humor?"
Making butter is blamed hard
work." grumbled Sile, removing the

"Oh, cheer up, Sile. Don't the poet

Yes. but, by gosh. it don't make the

Tithits That were ReIished In An-
 rirnt Roman Times.

EtFmt nomnnm IlnheAs
 Brawn was originally Roman dish and was eaten with garum, and cows and calfs foot jelles were likewise dainties with Rome's upper ten in the time of the Caesars. One would hardly suppose that black buildings were SO old as the reign of Tiberius, but this Is the fact. They were made of pigs blood, with little cubes of fat Inter spersed In the compound, and were the invention of a gentleman who rejoiced In the name of Bambonselvergius. It was he who invented all kinds of saul sages-that Is, meat stuffed into skins, which, we take 1t, Is the ground plan so to speak, of a sausage.
 This gentleman also wrote learned treatise on the fattening of dormlce for the table, for at one period dormice were a craze. There were dormouse soup, dormouse sausage, dormouse brawn, dormouse cooked In every conceivable way, and the demand for this delicacy in prize sizes was so great that there was room for book on the subject, though unfortunately this book Is lost to posterity. and the only knowledge which we have of the fat tening of dormlce in Rome Is from Petronius Arbiter. who tells us that they became fat by sleeping.
 He also tells us that the best sauce to eat with dormouse Is a mixture of poppy seed and honey, a mixture which probably had the merit of inducing sleep after a meal.

A CRUEL ENDING
The Lonely Death and Deseerate@
 Grave of LaUrence sterne.

Grave Of LaUrence steFnes
 Laurence Sterne, the great writer, was left alone In his rooms on Bond street, London. In those last bitter days, with servant of the lodging house for his only attendant. As he lay dying a knock was heard at the door and a footman entered, come from a house near by to inquire as to his health.
 The footman waited till the end, saw the thin arm raised as If to ward Oft a blow and heard the almost lnarticu- late murmur from white lips, "Now 1t Is come!'
 Then he went back to the house where a large party was gathered, and told the news to the feasters, most Of whom were Sterne's friends. For the space of half an hour they lamented him, and then the talk turned on other things-so soon are we forgotten ln this workaday world.
 "Alas, poor YorickW His publisher and a single friend followed him to. the tomb, while ghouls watched out side and marked the spot where he was laid. Two nights afterward the, body was stolen, shipped to Cambridge and placed, strangely enough, upon the. dissecting table at his own university. A friend recognized his features and tainted away when 1t was too late to stop the desecration.-Myrt Reed in Book News Monthly.

 In the company of children you have relief in considering what will pay. The things that they do and prefer to do, do not pay. as a rule. except in the doing of them.

A ' - ----~l '-> ''-A' 'AA---o '-- world that went by contraries, 1t is the Chinese flag. It will be recalled that 1t is one of the gayest of national standards. The body of the banner is of a pale yellow. In the upper left hand corner Is small red sun, and looking at it is a fierce Chinese dragon About 1000 years ago, so the story runs, the Chinese made war upon the Japanese. They prepared for a great invasion. As a prophecy of victory they adopted standard which Is that of the present time. They took the sun of Japan and made it very small. This they put in front of the dragons mouth to express the idea that the Chinese dragon would devour the Jap anese. It happened, however, that the Chinese fleet, conveying an army of 100000 men, was wrecked on its way to Japan by great storm, and all but three of the 100000 perished. The re- suit of recent events has not been any smore convincing than the first affair that the Chinese flag has been cor rectly conceived.

One of the notable features of how Fl Centro is aiding the de- velopnent of the Imperial valley and how it is to-day helping to make possible the better facili- ties for handling what the farm CTS do produce, is particularly emphasized by the daily express car service now being run from the valley to Los Angeles. It is the large amount of express that has developed at this place which makes this service possible. It's all new business, too, and the ad- dition of this new business to that already established has giv- en to the entire valley-every town-better shipping facilities for all perishable stuff. Although Fl Centro has been made the headquarters for thls express car it is due only to the simple reason that the location of the town is such that this is the logical place. This gives Fl Centro absolutely no advantage over any other val ley town, but simply goes to show how conveniently the town is located.

A noteworthy difference be- tween the industrial movements of El Centro and Imperial is the fact that at the latter town the work of building new buildings is promised to begin in the FALL while Tn the former town work on such structures ic going on continuously at the PRESENT TIME and instead of promises, contracts are being signed for new buildings and work ordered to begin on them AT ONCE.

Howe devoted practically the entire issue of his paper Monday trying to bolster up the fabrica- tion he weaved from out of his own mind the week before regard ing the Holton Inter Urban rail- road. He knew then, and he knows now that there was not a word of truth in the statements he made. Imperial had chance to have the Holton Inter Urban railroad once, but the "grab all" policy of the town was worked too strong and now there is no Likelihood of its ever getting that road or any other, Howe's fabri- cations ond girations to the con trary notwithstanding.
 The Imperial Improvement company has given notice that they have planned great many improvements for Brawley, and what is more they are going to get at them immediately. The hotel at that place is to be dou- bled in size and a pamphlet char acteristic of the place is to be gotten up and distributed. The company will put on the ground Mir. Jones, whose business 1t will be to boom Brawley and the hearty support of every resident and property owner will undoubt- edly be listed on his side. Mr.. H. C. Oakley is president of the Imperial Investment company and the townsite of Brawley is now under their control and it is prophesied that this company will do great things for the town.
 It will be observed by readers of the PRESS that this paper does not try to make Fl Centro any larger than it really is. It does  not fill its columns with articles telling whati: proposed to be done some time in the far future. If the paper resorted to that sort of thing it could go on indefinitely, for great things are planned for the town. But it's the things which are really being done that count. The actual letting of cOntl acts and the actual building of buildings are things people can believe in. This going to build sometime does not show pro- gresslveness and progressiveness Is what the people of the valley like. For years have they been fed upon promises from the Inn perial crowd and that an Imperial promise never was kept is known by all. However, promises are all they have to give and Howe is doing his best to give as many out as possible.
 One of the notable features of how Fl Centro is aiding the de-
