Lindsay is famed all over the state for
it's oranges they rlpen earlier, are
larger, sweter and of a more perfect color
than those grown in Southern California
This is a distinct advantage, for 1t enables
the grower to harvest his crop and get 1t
into the eastern market for the holidays,
when nearly everybody wants oranges. The
certainty of the market, the excellent
prices, the quality of the fruit and the
freedom from frost. alb combined, make
orange, growing in the Lindsay district a
profitable occupation. Southern California
growers have awakened to the fact that
Lindsay is going to be the greatest orange
district in the state, and many of them are
moving into this newer and richer field. 1t
is here we have recently subdlvided 4S0
acres out of the choicest of our holdings
into five and ten-acre tracts, and are offer
ing them to. the public at prices and on

Agnes went back to her room. The
letter she had written and left ready
to mail upon the tablecwas gone; one
OF the girls had taken It out to post.

go; don't know why 1 care!"
But she did. She wished she had
not been in such a hurry to write, and
she said, Il might have changed my

CASE AGAINST SIMPLIFIED
p. SPELLING.

In the North American Review.
Max Eastman endeavors to show
why English Does Not Simplify Her
Spelling" Against the economies
of time. of paper, of ink, etc.-by
which simplified spelling is recon-
mended by its advocates, Mr.. East
man arrays certain other considera-
Ntions pertaining to written English
which, in his judgment, are of no
little Importance. The dead uniform
ity for which the simplifiers plead
would be a sorry substitute for the
beauty in variety which many find In
English as it is now spelled: while
the adoption of the recommendation
OF the simpliflers, as Mr.. Eastman
shows by certain instances, would
not remove the bugbear of exceptions.
To many lovers Of literature, the ap-
pearance of the written or printed
word is Just as important as its sound,
and Mr.. Eastman quotes Robert
Louis Stevenson and others in testi-
mOny to the value they placed even
upon silent and apparently useless
letters He says:
"a man of letters. essaying to
write gruesome poetry, who should
leave the h out of ghost and aghast

ghost without an h is little better,
for the purposes of poetry. than a
goat. The not only is connected by
custom with the breathless and vis-
ionary moment, but for obvious rea-
sons 1t ought to be. The word ghost
is not at present associated with post
and most and roast and toast, and a
host OF daylight experiences. and it
is essential to the literary art that it
should not become so. 1t is, with one
or two others. a word by itself-a

WHAT THE TRAMP CAT DID.

WHAT THE TRAMP CAT DID.
Spunk was tramp cat that haunt
ed the garbage barrels and Easements
OF neighborhood in New York City.
She was not at all clean and not a
bit handsome, but she was tame and
good-natured. and the neighborhood
children had lot of fun with her.
One afternoon q little boy named
Harry, seven years old, picked up
Spunk in the street, dirty as she was,
and carried her in his arms into his
mothers kitchen to have a play with
her. At supper time he fed her, then
forgot all about her. Spunk did not
forget herself, though, and had no
mind to spend the night in the street,
for it was cold weather at that time,
so Spunk sneaked slyly behind the
kitchen range out of sight and went
to sleep.
Harry got sleepy, too, in due time
and went upstairs to bed. So did all
the other seven people in the family
when their sleepy time came, and not
one of them knew about the tramp
cat behind the kitchen range. 1t was
gas range, and one of the gas jets
belonging to it had been left burning.
The lighted jet had been turned so
low that when the early morning
came and the gas pressure was re-
duced the light was quite extin-
guished, although the gas still con-
tinued to flow, filling the Kitchen
with its poisonous fumes. BY de-
grees the gas mounted the stairs up,
up and through the rest OF the house.
All the family-father, mother AMI
children-were still fast asleep,
dreaming of anything but the deadly
danger they were in.
But Spunk, cat fashion, was an
early riser. She wandered through
the kitchen, looking for something
to eat, Then she smelled gas. 1t
and maybe she did. Who can tell?
Spunk bounded lightly up the stairs
and through the rooms till she came
to Harry's bed. She sprang upon 1t
with a big bounce, and stroked
Harry's face with her paws till he
walked suddenly.
He jumped up with a yell, for he
had been suddenly wakened from a
sound sleep. The yell walked all the
rest of the family. In an instant they
smelled the gas, and the grown folk
knew what it meant. Harrys father
jumped to the windows and opened
them, and that let in the air and
saved their lives. Then he bounded
downstairs and shut off the gas jet.
AS to Spunk, she just sat still upon
Harry's bed and looked nightly
pleased. News-Tribune.

The man moved his head.

is awful and the cannons are roaring

me brave. l am going back to fight
because of you, to be your substitute.

worry any more"
Over the dying face came a blaze
OF light. He comprehended her. He
tried to speak, but could not, though
his eyes never left her face, and pres
emily came look of peace which the
girl never forgot. My God" she
heard him whisper, family; I'm glad

curiously.

his face. ~I'm out of danger, but I
