If Carroll McComas had not had the

shone as rancher. Even the animals

young woman in every respect.
The children all over town are her
devoted slaves and will walk many
steps to receive a laughing nod from

AMERICAN DRINKING HABITS
A Large Increase Is Reported in the
Use of Bottled
peer

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 3d.
Officials of the internal revenue bureau
say that the people of this country are
largely increasing their consumption
or American bottled beers. When asked
why this is they attribute 1t to a great
ly increased family use of this bev-
erage. Furthermore they look upon 1t
with favor as conducting to temperance.
ut is a matter of widespread note"
said this official, that the &C onsump-
tion of beer is increasing at a great
rate, while the consumption of strong
drinks is decreasing, compared to in
crease of population. l assume that
the big increase in consumption of bot
tied beers is due to several causes.
One, of course, is that the people like
them. The other Is the growing tenn
perance sentiment. The amount of al
cohol in 1t is small and people feel
no evil consequences of its use. There
is a growing sentiment that temper
ance is surer and better promoted by
the development of a taste for mild
drinks than by prohibitive laws. Beer
seems to be best adapted for this pur-
pose. Although wine would, perhaps,
answer the purpose also, and most ex-
cellent wines are produced in Califor-
mia, and many parts of our country
are we'll adapted to wine culture, yet
wine has greater alcoholic strength
than beer, is not as cheap, and, for
some reason or other, the American
people do not seem to favor it.
There was a time, especially in the
south, when the whisky decanter had
prominent place on every sideboard.
Not so now. Instead, bottled beer is
stored in the refrigerators of many
residences There can be no doubt that
the marked continual decrease of
drunkenness is, to some extent, due to
the substitution of beer for strong

"San Dimasl San Dimasl Next sta

The sonorous voice of the conductor
Informed us, first far away and in
distinct. then nearer and louder, that
we were almost at our destination
the pretty little foothill town of San
Dimas, where the Rendezvous is To-
Gated. the country home of Judge and
Mrs. G. G. McComas and where Miss
Carroll McComas, known the world
over as the "California nightingale"
is passing a few months of rest and
recreation.
Seven years-long to those who were
left behind but short to the young girl
who was winning a name for herself
had lapsed since last Carroll McComas
was in Los Angeles, and during that
time we had heard from time to time
of her various triumphs, of large au-
diences held spellbound by her liquid
notes. sweet as the nightingale itself
and full-throated and round as a vio-
lin-the whistle which she used to
amuse us as little children over our
dolls. and the whistle which has won
applause throughout Europe from the
blase audiences of the Old World, who
are sated with the best the world af-
fOrds. And what change would these
years have wrought in the old play
mate? What effect would the homage
or the world bOw1ng before this young
girl barely out of her teens have on
the care-free, roaming child of former
years?
Her Home at Rendezvous"
When we alighted from the early
morning train we were met by the
proud father of the young woman,
Judge G. c. McComas, who is widely
known and ag widely liked. A walk
'up the road a piece" as the judge ex-
pressed it in his jovial manner. but
what we city folks would call about
two blocks, brought US to one of the
most beautiful orange groves imagin-
able-the Rendezvous.
Just around the corner at the turn
ing of the road appeared the girl of
former years-grown taller and more
beautiful, but yet the same, with her
arms filled with fragrant blossoms
which rival her fair face. A decided
brunette, with a mass of waving dark
hair which glints golden in the sun
shine and which is loosely coiled on
top of her shapely head, laughing
brown eyes and the cupid mouth which
has won her so many admirers, with
manners unaffected and with the
grace of young womanhood as pure as
the dew that kissed the blossoms in
her arms. A hug that reminds one of
the old days, bright volley of greet
ings, railery for daddy" and half

We find it hard to realize how this
this country in the west has grown.
In looking over the official reports
OF the United States census for 1860
I'VE find that st. Louis county Mimi
.esota, which now has the great city
Of Duluth with approximately 100 600
people, had in 1860 a total popula-
tion for the county Of 24l, and the
rity OF Duluth was unknown or gun
beard Of, NOT having yet been born.
The total population Of Dakota,
including both North and South Da-
kota at that time, was 2,56O Today
we,have, a million.
Omaha now having 14O, 900 popu-
iation was then unknown, the same
as Duluth,
Going back ~ step further to the
official census Of 1850. we find that
San francisco n larger city than
Chicago, with $4,000 people, Chicago
then having but $4,000. Now Chica-
go has it's two million and San Fran
cisco 100000.
Among the Leading cities OF the
United States are mentioned sZanes-
vile Ohio, at that time, but no men,
tion whatever. is made of kansas
CITY, Denver, Omaha, st, Paul or
Minneapolis.
These great cities most of them
now having over SOC, 900 people were
then unknowp or possibly asmall
