Only Girl in Ninety Miles.


Miss May Pennington, now attending the Girls
Collegiate School in Los Angeles, lives part of
each year on her fathers great ranch near Cra-
ter, in Mono county, on the border of the Yo-
semitic Park, and she is the only girl within ra-
dius of 80 miles.
Hither every summer Uncle Sam sends a
squadron of cavalry to guard the park, and the
khaki-cad scouts have voted this slim little
maid the queen of the whole wide countryside.
She has yellow hat cords, buttons and trophies
galore. She has a splendid chain of tiny gold
nuggets for beads, and the men of the squadron
presented to her uniform of their companies
blue, with yellow cavalry stripes on the jaunty
skirt.
Her gentle sway over her soldier subjects in
cluded inspection at stated intervals, when the
young commandment by revetrode her prancing
steed up and down the lines of mounted soldiers.
No Use for the Refrigerator.

RECENTLY London firm of clockmakers
discovered that rival German company was
doing large business in cheap clocks on the
west coast of South Africa. After examining
one of the clocks they determined to give the
native better article tho the German one
and felt sure of success. The sales were slow,
while the German article went off freely. At
last the puzzle was explained. The new clocks
were too quiet. Those supplied by the Germans
had particularly aggressive tick, which salts.
fled the savage's love of noise. The noiseless
clock was a better timepiece, but the savage
would have none of it. AT the next shipment
this was changed. Worth gave place to sound.
and the German product became drug on the
market. If noise is an accompaniment of
the savage state what must be said of the al
legged civilized man who delights in multi
plicity of clocks? There must be something
wrong with the mortal who wants to be sur
rounded by loud ticking timepieces.
