The Bishop Won.

There was an English bishop. tn,

rhyme about IA cassowary:

"a dispute once arose about the au
thorship OF that rhyme. The blshoT
of oxford claimed II, and punstel
on Punch also claimed II. According
ly, as test, the word Jehoshaphai
was submitted to the two claimants
for rhyming. The man who best
rhymed that difficult II not impossible
word would be judged the true author
of the cassowary effort.
well. the Punch punster failed-fel

Oxford easily proved his rightful own

IN THE LOWER RIO
GRAND VALLEY

The present land values must increase
enormously. The history of California
will be repeated on every hand. The
desert sands at Riverside, the moment
they became orange groves, jumped to
thousand dollars an acre. The San
Jose orchards are held at an equally
high price.
The man who invests a few dollars
and few years and few efforts in a
town venture, truck farm, cotton,
cane or tobacco plantation, or fruit
orchard, while the new sections are still
in their youth, will certainly be able to
view the future with complacency long
before he attains maturity. Clipped
from the Ladies' World of October 1909
