A large crowd Of young people

evening.

hustlers Of Beach, n. OAK. was

He had been spending a couple of
weeks among old friends and also

very we'll in the Golden Valley.

number of acres under cultivation
and the prospect of another boun-

Several of the young men of Beach and
vicinity, who are unsteady inclined have
suggested the organization of band and
few times they have got together and
played very nicely. The CHRONICLE would
like to see the boys complete their organi,
cation and play regular each week. In.
like most bands that are organized the
boys have not been around with subscrip
ton papers asking for donations before
they were able to play Yankee Doodle.
This would not be the case here as there
is band of old players. who have their
instruments. If little donation is needed
we are sure it will be gladly given. Beach
wants band and the CHRONICLE Office is
open to the boys at any time for pract,e
A mans life is full OF crosses and temp
tations. He comes into the world without
his consent and goes out against his will
and the trip between the two is an exceed
ingly rocky one for him. The rule of con-
trairies is one of the important features of
his trip. When he is little the big rls
kiss him, but when he is grown the little
girls kiss him: if he is poor. he is bad
manager, if he is rich he is dishonest; if
he needs credit he can't get it. if be pros
pers everybody wants to do him favor;
if he's in politics you can't place him and
he is of no use to his country: if be doesn't
give to charity he is a stingy cuss: if he is
actively religious he is hypoerite; if he
takes no interest in religion he it a hard
ened sinner: if he shows affection he is a
soft specimen. if he seems to care for no.
body he is cold blooded; if he, dies young
there was bright future before him. if
he live to an old age he has missed his
calling. The road is rocky but man likes
to travel it.
