CA 3 TORIA
PROHIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT

A PARALLEL
"Plague on each foxv' the farmer cried,
They've taken half my chicks!
I'll build fence and load gun,
And catch them at their tricks
"No good your fence" the wise replied,
Projections but farce.
The fence and gun are futile things,
Which any fox can pass.
Besides, they make the guileless fox
A hypocrte you see!
You cannot keep the varmints out,
Then license two or three.'
"Alas! Alack!' the shepherd sighed,
1.-The wolves have killed my sheep!
I'll have fold, and build wall,
And shepherd dogs I'll keep"
mistaken scheme" the wise replied,
"The fact is full well known,
There's far more wolves when driven off,
Than when they're left alone!
And then you'll MAKE them hide and skulk,
A thing that should not be.
You cannot keep the varmints out,
Then license two or three"
"My boy! My girl. You'd best have died."
Fond mothers oft have wept.
"We'll have the law prohibit all
The hells where drink is kept"
THAT way is wrong" the wise replied,
And each mans right betrays.
Besides, prohibit as you WILL
'Tis sold in diverse ways.
The law is never quite enforced,
And tempt the Devil will.
You cannot keep all sellers out,
Then license them-to kill"

RHYMED RECIPES.

ORANGE CoMPoTE.
Take oranges of medium size,
The peel remove pray;
From each a round cut from one end
And scoop the seeds away.
Till up the title cups thus formed
With strawberry preserve
That flavor mixed with orange-juice
Is more than most deserve.
Then top each orange with whipped cream,
A cap all soft and white,
Made up of puffs, while for rosettes
The strawberries CLEAN bright.
On separate plates the fruit then serve
With lady-ingers slim
And I've no doubt king would say,
The dish was fit for him!
BUTTER SCOTCH.
One cup of sugar-brown, not white
One half of water clear,
One teaspoonful of vinegar
In candy-oh! how queer,
A piece of butter, walnut size,
Add flav'ring to your taste;
Now boil some twenty minutes, say.
Then take it off with haste.
CHOCOLATE cARAMELs
One cup of sugar, one, also,
Molasses-ti filled and one of milk
Small spoon of these, you know,
With chocolate, grated fine as silk
(Unsweetened, too, quarter pound),
Are creamed by stirring round and round.
This mixtures boiled until it's done
Cracking in water proves that true),
Then into buttered pans it's run,
Inch thick or even less will do;
Now one thing more and all is told
Mark off in squares when nearly cold.

TREMENDOUS POWER OF ROOTS.
Tender Stems Grow Into Trunks That Will
Break Stone Walls.

Tender Stems Grow Into Trunks That Will
Break Stone Walls.
The tremendous power of pushing
root is subject for marvel. 1t will lift
tons by the swelling of its slender trunk,
or rend rocks with the power of dyna-
mite, but silently and invisibly
The pertinacity and force of plants is
occasionally shown in the great cities in
this wise. Some old residences have
vines many years old climbing up their
weather beaten brown fronts. Their
roots are deep in the small front garden
plot and their tendrils were at first train
ed up slender cords to the iron balconies
on the first floor. These slender green
things twined in and out of the iron rail-
till they reached the vertical wall which,
nothing daunted, they began to climb.
Little by little, the tender green stems
changed to hard woody tissues, which
swelled into flat plaits to accommodate
itself to the bars of the iron railing
through which it had woven itself. But
the accommodation was only formal, for
swelling steadily the vine trunks appear
today to have become as large as man S
arm and the iron rails which were it's
earliest support have been broken in
twain by their ungrateful dependents.
Another singular example of the per-
tinacity of the roots is the following:
A drain pipe seemed to be choked In
vestigation showed that a threadlike
shoot of tree root had penetrated one
of the minute pores of the clay pipe;
once inside the drain, the tendril found
such luxuriant nourishment that it grew
and divided into branches, which wound
themselves in coil on coil, until finally
passage in the drain was completely
choked up.
1t is said that bucketfuls of tangled
filaments were taken out of this pipe,
which measured only eight inches in d.
ameter, while the skeins originated in a
single threadlike filament, back through
which coursed the abundant nourishment
to push on the growth of the maple tree
above ground. Los Angeles Herald.

High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work inces-
sanity with brain and hand to hold their own
nowadays. Never were the demands of busi-
ness, the wants of the family, the require
ments of society, more numerous. The first
effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up
with all these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of the ner-
vous system, which results in dyspepsia, de-
fective nutrition of both body and brain, and
in extreme cases in complete nervous prostra-
ton. 1t is clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves. and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and active From
personal knowledge, we can recommend Hoods
Sarsaparilla for this purpose. 1t acts on all the
vital organs. builds up the whole system, and
fits men and women for these high pressure

Exit the Plough Horse.

Within 10 years approximately 8,OO0.-
600 acres of farm land in the United
States and western Canada have been
taken away from the horse and turned
over to the steam and fuel engine to be
plowed. The farmers of Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana and other parts of the corn belt
are beginning to follow the example set
by the owners of larger farms in the
newer prairie sections. The improve
ments made within the last few years in
the smaller traction engine using gaso-
lene or oil have also solved many Of the
problems presented in the "moist" dis
trict of soft soils and small farms which
the old and larger steam traction engines
could not meet. Irrational Magazine.

and skirmished around, taking in the
sights. The angel lost sight of the editor
and went around hades to hunt him up.
He was found sitting by a furnace, fam

a lot of people in the fire. There was a

PRACTICAL PLAN TO
HELP FARMERS HERE

DR.. Victor S. Clark, secretary of the
Territorial Board of immigration,
had some interesting remarks to make
this morning concerning the boards
desire to look after the small farmer.
IN the first place" said the doctor,
I'VE do not consider that the small
farm proposition is so hopeless as it is
sometimes represented Under the
present law the Board of immigration
has no authority to spend money for
the investigation necessary to suggest
policy relating to homesteads If
the present bill passes we have in
mind undertaking the following in
vestigations;-
First, we would like 10 have a
thorough inquiry made by a compe-
tent man assisted by local men, in
each of the principal homestead dis
tricts Of the Territory covering such
points as the time the homesteader
has been in the district; his success
or failure with the different crops he
has experimental with; the seasons
best adapted for raising particular
crops in each district; the particular
pests encountered; the prices oh.
tanned in local markets for any pro.
due sold; the volume of the local de-
mand for each particular product; and
the cost of transporting each product
from the district in question to Homo
lulu.
With this data assembled we
should like to bring from the coast
man thoroughly familiar with the mar.
ket conditions in California at differ
ent seasons Of the year, prices paid in
the coast markets for the vegetables
