Discoufaging!

Science is about to open up a
new history, in which we are
being told that the idea that
our Pilgrim fathers landed on
Plymouth Rock is a humbug; or
that William Tell ever shot an
apple off of his sons head; nor
did George Washington cut
down the cherry tree with his
little Ratchet; that Moses only
existed in song; that Jonah did
not swallow the whale; nor did
the "Boy stand on the burning
deck;;' intact, this higher edu-
cation is robbing US of all the
old beliefs so dear to our hearts,

from us these lessons learned
in our youth? Must we blot out
all and begin over again to be
up to date in this advanced ed

Communication
From Mrs. Beryl James War
rem, from California.
San Louis Obespo, Cal.
800 Heguva, $50 a. m. 1909.
Dear Folks at home:
| should have written you
before this as | have been here
a week, but it has been a very
busy one. We reached here a
week ago yesterday at 4 p. m ],
and Mary Orcott Johns cousin,
who teaches in the High School,
and who keeps house with
another teacher, invited us to
dinner, and we spent the eve
ming there, and then came out
to this little house. 1t is such a
nice little cottage has only been
built two years, the walls are
yet nice and white, never hav-
ing been papsred, | was sur
prised to find it so nice; of course
$50. a month is a big price for
us to pay, but its the best we
could do here. Mary pays SIS.
per month, for 3 unfinished
rooms in a flat, and we have 5,
with a pantry, and yard. just
picked a bunch of sweet peas
for the parlor. It's just as the
man furnished it for a home,
but his wife was taken sick and
he sold it, and one of the school
teachers here owns it; she is a
Portuguese girl and her family
are very rich. My groceryman
is also a Portuguese, and there
are many Spanish, in this town,
and some Swiss people on the
ranches. / will try to tell you
something about this town. 1t
is about midway between Los
Angeles and San Francisco, and
claims between 5 and 5000 in
habitants. 1t is the Division
point on the S. P. r. R and has
Shops and Round House here,
and one of the merchants told
me that at one time the pay roll
here was quite large, but the
town got to fighting the road,
and the Company took about
two thirds of the work away
from this place.
There is also a short railway
here, called the Coast line, run.
ming down to Port Hartford on
the coast. about IL miles from
here. We are on the main
drive to the beach, and yester-
day there were many pretty
teams drove by, and quite a
number of Autos. The Sulpher
Hot Springs is only about two
miles out of town.
The town itself is completely
surrounded by mountains, not
especially high, for they tell me
they never have snow on
them; just back of our house is
the San Louis mountains, and
at the rear of the yard there is
a pretty mountain stream with
pebble bottom. Just think, the
date on the Mission here is 1772,
so before the Declaration of In
dependence, (1776,) this was a
settlement.
There are only 81 Saloons in
this town! | wonder what the
good temperance people of Har-
rison County would think of
that for this sized town, but |
have not seen a drunk man in
the town yet, and have been
up town almost every day.
But about all there is 10 Cali
fornia is climate. All | saw on
the way up here along the coast
was sand and rocks, and I have
only seen one rainy day since
came out here, and today the
sun is bright, but the air is cool.
| The mornings are chilly, and
by q o'clock in the evening you
can notice a change in the air.
