Do you know, Kathleen, you are 4
very goodlooking lassie?'
''Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but. being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered:
All, ma, All, ma: But my kissin,
sir, is beautiful
The divine frowned.

ChiIdren's Food.

CertaiIAlittle suggestions are always
to be followed when planning the diet
of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery never
serve hot stewed fruit TO the children.
Plenty of stewed fruit and baked APP
pies they should eat, but they must
invariably be cooked the day before
and dfShed up cold. The nursery po-
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled in their Jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with
out their skins supply starch, with a
loss of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process of cooking into the white part
of the vegetable.

Providence preceding the dedication
of the John Hay Memorial library at

His diplomacy was gracious, and
it was prudent as well. / remember

prudence.
1T was the Christmas season, and
he said that we might learn a lesson

Dear me, her mother said, if

much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents

Mr.. Pellier has long been dead, but
his old home is still standing, and
ought to be regarded as a sacred
landmark by all purveyors and con-
sumers of prunes. The old frame
house is now the center of 100000
acres of prune orchards, grouping in,
the Santa Clara valley. Not far from
100000 prune trees grow in the val
ley. In comparison with these figures,
the prune orchards of France, Spain,
Germany, Austria, Servia and other
prune-growing countries are hardly
worthy of mention. California now

BIRTHPLACE OF THE PRUNE
First Trees Were Imported From
France and Planted in the Santa
Clara Valley, California.

San Jose, Gait is possible that
there are people compelled to live in
city boarding houses who will not
think that the man who introduced
prunes into America deserves to rank
as public benefactor- Whatever the
"boarders" may think about it, it is
certain that boarding house keepers
will regard him as one of the great
men of the past century In that opin-
ion California orchardists will heartily
concur, as he was the pioneer in an
industry that now represents an In
vestment of more than 100000 in
improved orchard land, equipment
and packing plants. and pays large
dividends on every dollar. The first
prune trees ever planted in California
were imported from France and plant
ed in the grounds of the Pellier nur-
