About our splendid valley.
They answer with the same old bark.
We've better far in 'Callie.'"
Just anything you choose to name
Upon this globe terrestrial.
No matter what its size or fame,
It's been exceeded out in Cal"
And when they leave this world of woe
And reach old Nick's corral.
They'll say. "Oh. yes, it's hot l know.
But its hotter back in Cal
But there's one product of our town
In which we are supreme;

LEAP YEAR TOMORROW.

Does any woman take advantage OF
the coming of Leap Year and pro-
pose? That is a question that no
mere man would attempt to answer.
Most persons have no statistics on
the subject. and If any brave man has
ever been urged by some brave MEM
Der Of the other sex to renounce for
her sake the JOYS of single blessed
ness he would be cad TO tell tales
out Of school. Yet it appears that
there are certain women who appre-
bend that Bissextile or Leap Year, as
the almanac calls it. will be employ
ed by some of their more desperate
sisters as a stepping stone TO a larger
domestic happiness. Al a meeting OF
the Hyde Park (Chicago) Widows
club the other day. one Of the most
prominent members said: u move
that the Widows club do not accept
or enforce the privilege which custom
assigns to woman OF making marriage
propositions in Leap Years
There was an embarrassing silence
for moment We are told. and then
an attractive young widow arose and
argued that the question should be
lef; TO each individual member to act
on as she thought proper" Il do not
propose to propose" she explained.
but under some circumstances we all
know that we can be helpful in that
direction. and do no; think we ought
to bind all the members not to offer
any assistance"
To this wise and reasonable propo-
sition there was ready assent. Even
the widow who had offered the motion
declared that she had intended TO
forestall only bold. outright propOs-
ais. and did not seek TO bind men,
bers who offered suggestions or as
sistanee to gentlemen who required
IT," And so the original motion was
put to vote and unanimously carried.
The members Of the HYDE Park Wild
ows' club will abstain from direct pro-
posals in 1908. but may be depended
upon TO provide fair amount OF en-
couragement at critical moments. as
womankind has done in all the ages
of the past.

Against the Standard Oil a conviction

corporations were charged, by the
more laxative members OF the inter-
state commerce commission in inter-
views with the sensational press with
crimes against investors for which
they were to be prosecuted, but we
can not recall that any prosecutions
have yet been begun Of crimes which
however unlawful were calculated to
affect investors actual or intending.
There is no doubt that distrust had
much 10 do with the present troubles

l90T-l9OS.

An extraordinary year will be
brought TO a close today. At the be-
ginning there was every prospect that
the record OF the record breaking pros
perity. then enjoyed would itself be
broken and il was. A comparatively
few looked beyond that event for a
period of depression and IL came. To
them the signs OF il were as plain as
were the signs of continued prosperity
TO the multitude.
There has been q curious occurrence
of a panic without hard times, with
hardly disturbance of the best rec
ognized signs of prosperity. 1t is now
agreed that the panic if it ever de-
served so alarming a name is over ana
that there is nothing in the way of
a resumption OF the unprecedented
activity Of last summer. That is, all
the country will have TO do is 10 re-
sumo whenever all the people or most
of them get ready TO do so.
The year has been an uneventful one
in all other respects. II has been
marked by few notable achievements
in any direction. Fewer deaths Of
great men have been recorded than in
most other years. There have been no
great wars and no well defined rumors
of war. 1t has been a year that will
require only short page of history.
But such years are the best for
those who live in them and 1907 is one
of them. Regret that il is so nearly
over is tempered with the confidence
thta 1908 will be still better.
