MARY and HER BROTHER JOHN

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow; 1t stray ed away one day, where lambs should never go. And Mary sat her quickly down and tears streamed from her eyes; she never found that lamb because did not advertise. Now Mary had a brother John, who kept village store; he sat down and smoked a pipe and watched the open door. And as the people passed along, and did not stop to buy, John still sat and smoked his pipe, and wink ed his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out, but still he fingered near, and Mary came to drop with him sympathetic tear. How is 1t sister, you can tell, why other merchants here, sell all their goods so readily and thrive from year to year! Remembering her own bad luck, the little maid re- plies: These other fellows get there, John, because they adver- tise.

CHARACTER BUILDING

The world is full of limitations
 and imitators; and the world is full of failures. Nearly all the failures in the world, failures even as measured by our false, foolish and superficial standards of failure and success, are due to lack of in- diyiduality. A person cannot make a more serious failure, however, than that of not being himself.

FROM SUNNY CALIFORNIA
Newarker Tells of Things Seen
 and Heard in Far West

Mir Editor:-I write this to re- quest you to change my paper from Long Beach to 73 Peoria street, Pasadena, Cali.
 This city has a population of 30,000 or 35,000, and is city of flowers, schools, churches, million aires and multi-millionaires. There IS said to be near two hundred millionaires in this city. If they all go where the rich man of the Bible went, Pasadena will be we'll represented in hades. On some of the streets here, are some palatial residences and some magnificent lawns and flower gardens. Adol- phus Busch, the millionaire beer king of St. Louis, has a residence and sunken garden here which are said to be the most magnificent in the world. They made as great a man as Taft sit up and take notice as he went spinning by in an au- tomobile on his recent visit.
 According to statistics there is more wealth in this fLos Angeles) county than in any county west of the Mississippi river. This county Is a pefect network of electric car lines, and you can take car al- most any minute to the different nearby cities and towns.
 There are some pretty good sig ed farms in this county, also. The Baldwin and Cudah farms are both large. I don't know the size of the latter, but the Baldwin farm Is said to contain 42, 1000 acres. have been on the Baldwin farm many times. 1t required more lumber, nails and paint to build the stables on this farm than 1t did to build the whole town of Newark. They formerly kept 1900 race horses there during the racing sea- son, but the last California legis- lature cut out horse racing and they have no more races. But they have automobile races, which are almost as bad.
 Here in this city the lens is be- ing polished for the great telescope to be put in at the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory. It is said to be the largest telescope in the world. The lens was cast at St. Godin, France, and weighs six and a half tons. It cost S60, 1000 and is a gift from Andrew Carnegie. Mount Wilson sets back some sev- en miles from this city, and is six thousand feet above the sea level. We can see the observatory very plainly from this city.
 The people of Newark and Vi cinity should commend and reward you for the good paper you are putting cut for them.
 Fraternally,
 A. R ALEXANDER.
