An old man was just recovering
from an operation, and as he lay re.
gaining consciousness he heard the
doctor say to a nurse, regarding some
powders to be given him: IF one
every hour is too much give him a
half one every half hour" The old
gentleman raised himself up on hiI
elbow and said:
Say, doc, that reminds me o. a
man that had Newfoundland dog.
His wife got so tired of having him
tthe dog. not the mani track up the
floors and pouches that finally she
made her husband take the dog to
town and sell him. That afternoon
he returned radiant. Well he said,
I've sold bim for $751; Good cried
his wife. i can get that hat now
But continued the man, 4 bought
two puppies with the money"
The doctor looked at the nurse and
said
II think he'll recover"

Great Britain has set an example
which the other world powers would
do well to follow. While it has
not as yet been definitely decided
there is a feeling that naval con-
struction during the coming year
should be governed by the action
which is taken at the next Hague
conference.

or fruit and it is amazing how a
little water in dry time will help
out. Since the Railroad Company
began to lay track month ago
the farmers through here have
signed for about 1000 acres of sugar
beets to be loaded at this point.
Another man gives his time to little
onions. How would $4,000 do for
the proceeds of few acres of land
and the help of about dozen girls
to sort them? What the people of
Wisconsin need to do is to quit sell
ing out for trifle and go at inten-
sive farming.
Cut out oranges and lemons and
a few things like that and l don't
see anything that we raise out here
that cannot be raised with like effort
in Wisconsin. Small fruit is as
natural to Wisconsin as is the
citrus here. But here you don't
need to travel half day to be
told what won't grow here and in
thirty minutes be on land growing
those things in profusion. Not more
land but better farming is what
Wisconsin needs. Out here the hen
is queen and it is more trouble to
keep hens we'll in this country than
you can imagine, Perpetual mild
ness and no freezing weather is
congenial climate to the enemies of
biddy but the druggist is kept busy
because the hen pays her way and
500 of them support a family in
comfort. 1t costs about Sis for
wheat or corn per 100 lbs. Even
here at these prices it costs less
than nine cents a month to keep
hen. For the laying period eggs
are never less than 20 cents per
dozen, SO that | want you to see
that if we do there what they do
here we too can have enough to pay
the difference in price of fuel. But
if you are not we'll enough to stand
the climate come out here and buy
you a little spot in this section
where land is bn1y about one-fourth
as high as it is six miles east of US
or ten miles north. That far away a
man thinks he has a bargain when
he can buy ten acre piece with
small house on it for about 81, 500
to raise such things as grow here.
Church work has gone we'll with
US here and we are told that we are
wanted to remain and as the family
say that l need less responsibility
than in the past we expect to remain.
One of the pleasures of living here
is the ocean winds warmed with six
miles Of land and then we are only
seven miles from Huntington Beach,
one of the coming great summer
resorts. Here DR.. Torrey held a
great camp meeting the fore part of
this month, where thousands heard
him every day. The family are all
we'll and the daughters and Mrs.
Clough are very happy in the eli
mate and opportunities.

WESTMINSTER, CAL, Aug. 81, '07.

WESTMINSTER, CAL, Aug. 27, 'O7.
1t has been a long time since
have spoken to you through the
JOURNAL, not because | had for
gotten the kindness and sympathy
shown US but because l wanted to
think out something's that l could
say intelligently.
1t is just one year ago this morn
ing since we babe farewell to your
beautiful city and region and wish
to say that so far / recall nothing
more attractive and beautiful than
the valley of The Kinnickinnic.
Like individuals each section has
it's own peculiar personality, it's own
intrinsic values and it's own distinc-
tive worth to the world as a whole.
We cannot all live in the same local
tiles and so comparisons are often
odious.
am glad there is a small section
of the earth like Southern California
but l remember that the majority
of the productive sections of the
earth are not similar to this section.
Then, too, l remember that no one
section grows all of the good things
for the food of man.
One thing | have learned that no
person is prepared to speak for the
climate of Southern California.
Only for the immediate locality in
which they live, because ten miles
makes the most radical of changes
in climate. Yes, only ten miles is
another atmospheric condition en-
tirely. We are less than % miles
from Los Angeles and SO from Pas
adena and yet il is broiling in those
cities or at Riverside and Redlands;
il is cool and comfortable here. |
am assured by people who know Cal
ifornia we'll that no better climate
can be found, not even San Diego,
than this immediate locality. 1t
certainly since last October has
been ideal. This little region be-
cause it has been to the south Of
the railroads has not been developed
and doomed as have the sections on
the Electrics or farther back on the
Steam roads and so is less known
but | am sure that now the Southern
Pacific is building through here and
putting in as much siding as at
Ellsworth and River F alls combined
it means that something is to be
doing in this region.
If / were to come back to Wiscon-
sin | would urge men to come out
here and remain year and learn
how to make money from the soil.
1t isn't acres that bring money to
the farmers 1t is work put upon
those acres. Ten acres is more
than one man can work is the motto
here. Why? Because this is the
land of the hoe. If a man plants
ten acres of corn he not only Guilt
Yates it but he hoes it and keeps the
weeds out and there is no fertility
outside of the peat lands that at all
compares with the land in the vicin-
ity of River Falls. Then too | have
learned how to water sandy land.
Every farmer has from 200 to 1000
feet of four inch galvanized pipe
that carries the water to where he
wants it on his growing vegetables

"Reminiscences.
BY FRANK HENRY BASCOM.

When twilight deepens into gloom
And eyes grown tired with reading,
When voices ceasing in the room
And thoughts come on unheeding;
When sunlight creeping from the door
Has darkened book and theme,
And evening shadows gently fall.
sometimes smoke and dream.
And sometimes when the house is still
And everything seems sleeping,
see the school house on the hill
Beneath the oak trees peeping.
The bubblng brook, Old Kinnickinnc,
Dear ripping, dimpling stream,
Thy shady banks, thy wooded hills,
see them in my dream.
Rough, rugged hills; thy vivid greens,
see them yet so fair;
Your old elm trees, where birds and bees,
In soft and balmy air,
Sang matin songs, of incense sweet,
OF honey-dew and thyme,
To purling brook, through shady nook,
BY cress and columbine.
How oft I've climbed those rugged hills,
1 climb them now again,
To pick the phlox among the rocks,
The sheep sorrel, sour and green,
The honeysuckles nodding head,
The ladyslipper shy
The lilly true, the hairbell blue,
With color to the sky.
Old Clifton Hills! How oft have
In winters chilly day,
Climbed up thy slopes, and led with ropes,
My lusty, trusty sleigh!
Then down thy sides like arrow speed,
On snowy, silvery sheen,
To rest at last the school house past,
Upon the frozen stream.
Old Clifton Mills! Now far away
Across the bridge of years,
/ seem to see, what seems to me,
Through eyes now dimmed with tears,
The ''swimmin' hole behind the MILL
The water creSs and clover,
o, happy time! o, tine sublime!
When l jumped in, all over.
Bright, sunny hours of summer time,
OF childhood'S happy days,
How oft feel around me steal,
Fond memory's fitful haze;
1t takes me back, boy again,
To stream and Sedge and fallow,
Where played, Ger hill and glade,
In dear old Clifton Hollow"

MODEL Of NEW
CHINESE GOVERNMENT

"A correspondent of the North China
Daily News states that the kind of
government obtaining in Japan is
strongly favored by Prince Ching,
Duke Tsai Tseh and other Manchu
high officials in the capital, as the su-
preme power still lies in the hands of
the throne. The various Chinese Min
listers abroad, and students who have
studied or are studying in Europe and
America, all advocate taking England
as the model for China, but Yuan
Shih-kai, being of opinion that the
Chinese are not yet educated to the
necessary standard. recommends Ger
many as the future model for China
AS their Majesties seemed to be un-
certain which form of government to
choose, it was suggested that special
Commissioners should be sent to visit
the three countries mentioned, make
an exhaustive examination of their re-
spective forms of government, and then
report them to the throne, which
could then make the necessary selec-
ton for introduction into the country.
AS this will give Picking breathing
time it was eagerly seized upon by
their Majesties, with the result that
thee recent DEGREES were promulgated,
commanding Ia Shou to proceed to
Japan, Wuang Ta-hsi to England, and
Yu Shih-mei to Germany

OLESON COMMITTEE
DOWN To BUSINESS

| As December 10, the twentieth an
niversary of the kamehameha Schools
is approaching, the Oleson committee
in charge of the program for that day
is doing all in it's power to make this
a memorable event in the history of
| these schools.
Chairman s. w. Spencer has made
arrangements with the Inter-lsland
Steamship Co. to have excursion rates
for the students on the other islands,
and it is expected that a great ma
iority of them will take advantage of
this opportunity to attend the cele-
bration. Rev. W. B. OlesOn, the first
principal of the Kamehameha Schools,
has accepted the invitation of the com
mittee to come down here as its guest,
and he will, in all probability, be here
by the first week in December.
The committee is sparing no pains to
make the program as interesting and
appropriate for the occasion as pos
sible The celebration will begin with
a memorial service to Mrs. Bernice
Pauahi Bishop, the founder of the
schools, at the Mausoleum and Bishop
Memorial Chapel, after which grand
luau will be given to the guests of the
schools, the day closing with sports
and other out-of-door exercises. 1t is
being planned to have a football game
on that day, so as to give the other
island members a chance to see
game of football. Or, if it could be
arranged, there is likely to be game
of baseball between the visiting island
members and the boys from Oahu. In
that event, Mr.. Mahuka, the famous
baseball player, will be here and will
play for the other islanders.
Stanley Livingston, the music teach
er at Kamehameha Schools, is arrang-
ing to have a chorus composed of all
The students of Kamehameha, both boys
and girls, to sing the Messiah on
Founders Day. If this plan is car
ried out, it would mean a chorus of
about three hundred voices, and would
be great drawing card for the island
members as well as a great treat to
the Honolulu public.
The first meeting of the chorus will
be tomorrow evening, at 1880, at the
Kamehameha Boys dining hall. It is
expected that there will be big turn
out, as great many of those present
at the reception given at the Girls
School last Saturday have expressed
their willingness to turn out for the
chorus.
Mr.. Horne would also like to meet
all of the members of the Oleson COM
mittee at the same time with the chorus,
when the secretary will give his fnan-
cial report, and final arrangements will
be made for the Founders Day pro-
gram. All of the members of the Ole i
son committee are kindly requested |
to be present at this meeting.

TOO MUCH CONFETTI.

NEW YORK, September 21.-Thou-
sands of victims of the Mardi Gras
celebration at Coney Island have been
treated in various hospitals and dis
peusaries for infamed and sore eyes,
caused by the throwing of confetti,
according to several physicians, who
say also that the merrymakers, by
rubbing "ticklers" in one another's
faces, will probably cause an epidemic
of skin diseases.
Commissioner Darlington Of the
health department said the depart
ment had no records of any diseases
caused by the throwing of confetti.
Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keefe
has ordered the nuisance stopped, -
said the commissioner. THE matter
rests entirely in the hands of the
police department
Il will admit that the use of een-
fetti and 'ticklers' is very harmful and
should be discontinued. Where thou
sands of persons are huddled togeth-
er, shouting and jostling one another,
diseases may be spread without con-
fetti and 'tiCklers.'
