A DAVIS Excursion in California.

(The following is an extract from lettel
Weeks. to friend in South Paris.)
The best trip we have taken from Lot
Angeles was the Balloon Route excur-
sion. We started at 9:40; went north,
through the retail section of the city,
past the main hotels, railroad offices,
court house, the old Spanish plaza and
Chinatown, the battle ground Of Gems.
Fremont and Pico, through the oil dis
trict and past the Sisters Hospital on
Sunset Boulevard, and along the foot
hills to the famous Cahuenga valley.
Here We saw large orchards of orange
and lemon trees, also fig trees.
Passing through Hollywood, which is
residential city, We went through a
valley where most of the vegetables for
the city are grown. Here we saw China.
men planting potatoes, also peas about
six inches high. Most of the vegetables
are raised by Cinnamon on hired land,
for which they pay from 500 to s25 an
acre. Crops may be planted at any time
in this valley, as there is never any frost
here.
Through Sherman We went to Saw
telle. Here Is the national soldiers
home, which is the largest and best
equipped home in the Union. We went
into the dining room, where 500 may be
seated at one time, and through the
bakery, where all the baking Is done.
The work is all done by the old soldiers
themselves. There are about 340O in all.
We then followed the Cahuenga valley
through the largest bean fields In the
world, being about 5000 acres given up
to beans, to Santa Monica. Here we
stopped for thirty minutes to see the
great camera obscura, then to Playa-del-
Rev for dinner, after this down the
beach nine miles to Redondo and the
famous Moonstone Beach, where l found
some good stones.
We saw a steamer which had been
wrecked In the surf not more than 200
feet from the shore. The waves were
washing over the decks, while the crew
were throwing overheard the freight
which was washing ashore. l got a
good picture. We then went back along
the beach, where we saw number of
schools Of seals playing in the waves,
also a pelican catching fish which the
sea gulls took away as fast as they were
caught. Thence to the much-talked-of
"Venice of America" Here we saw
canals running in all directions, with
artistic bridges over them, also the city
of tents, some 400 or 500 arranged in
streets. Each one is framework of
wood with cloth sides and top, with
floor, electric light and gas stove In each.
We also saw the wave motor, q new in
veution for getting power from the
waves. This Is a resort which is just
being built. From there we came direct
to Los Angeles, having been seventy
miles for one dollar.

MRS. WIN. b. pEcosrER.

Many friends were shocked and sad
dened by the death of Mrs. VIM. B. De-
Coster of Elm Hill, who fell victim tn
typhoid pneumonia last Thursday, after
a short illness. Mrs. DeCoster, whose
maiden name was Carrie S. Foster, was

knew her. She was % years of age at
the time of her death, and was married
to Mr.. DeCoster in May, 1904. The

Grange OF Sumner to visit Mountain
Grange on Saturday, Feb. 10th, aud they
came in large and jolly numbers, they to
furnish the entertainment, which they
did In an admirable manner. We didn't
get left this time. We do. not propose
to miss all the good times while they
are passing by In tho radius Of few
miles.
An unexpected pleasure was visit
from Mr.. Torrey of Dixfield. It doesn't
seem to be hard, uphill work for him to
talk, and it IL easy a. playing to hear
him. You know there are Woodworking
speakers that make you sweat.
Did you ever attend q similar gather
ing and bring away with You the pic
ture of face that continually comes up
before you almost as plainly as when
looking on the real thing itselfP Well,
that is the condition that We are In.
This readers face when in rep0se and in
q normal condition is rather good look
ing, but when the humor of the piece
was/in full blast It would be public

time.

We were glad to meet with one whom
we had never met aud whom we only
knew through her nice writings for the
press, when she was "Virginia." Well,
the music was good, the readings were
good, the dialogues were good and the
dinner was good, and enough has been
said on that subject.
Turner Grange will meet with East
Hebron Grange Feb. 23d.
The report is that Henry Brown and
wife are to leave the village and live
with Moses Brown at the East. He feels
that he cannot live alone.
The experiment of breaking out the
road with the road machine has been
tried once. 1t is doubtful If it will be
tried the second time. Evidently 1t was
not one Of the purposes for which it was
built. Six horses had hard pull, un-
less appearances are deceptive. And it
is said they are-sometimes. We recall
the long string of oxen and steers as a
"breaking- out team" In other days.
Several methods and things have chang
cd since we started out in our journey
to the grave-some for the better and a
few for the worse. But the world
moves on, picking up and dropping of
things by the wayside. Some of the
pickipps might we'll be left, and some of
the droppings might we'll be retained.
However, we are an old fogy and our
opinion counts for nothing, still We
know of no way to get rid of it. We are
terribly "sot'' in our ways and our
Family trait.

The Deadly Tongue.-The

of destruction is the dynamite
gun. The gun merely kills
bodies; the tongue kills reputa.

each loaded tongue has a hun

of the gun is visible at once.
The full evil of the tongue lives
through all the years; even the
eye of Omniscience might grow
tired in tracing it to its finality.
the crimes of the tongue are
words of unkindness, of anger,
of malice, of envy, of bitterness,
of harsh criticism, gossip, lying
and scandal. Theft and murder
are awful crimes, yet 10 any sim
