BY the light of the moon he made a

around with q bill for the grave he had
dug, "Nosey" Jones told him to go to

controversy. Tuttle set up the claim that
he had dug the grave by order Of Jones

What THE
Internal BATH
Is Doing for Humanity

Under our present mode of living
the large intestine (or colon) cannot
get rid Of all the waste that it ac-
cumulates-so it clogs up and then
biliousness, constipation is the result,
and that lack of desire to do, to work,
to think.
This waste in the colon, as we all
know, is extremely poisonous, and if
neglected, the blood takes up the
poisons and brings on countless very
serious diseases-appendicitis is di-
rectly caused by waste in the colon.
If the colon is kept clean and pure
you will always feel bright and capa-
ble-never blue and nervous-always
up to "concert-pitch."
There is just one internal bath
which will keep the colon as sweet
and clean as nature demands it to be
for perfect health-that is, the ]. B.
L. Cascade.
Many thousands are using it and
doctors prescribing it with great sue
cess all over the world. 1t is now be-

SANTA BARBARA, May IA, 1911.
One Of the habitual objects of interest
at Santa Barbara is the lighthouse. stu
ated a short drive from the town on
high promontory or mesa, as they call 1t.
but 1t is not so interesting as 1t used
TO be a few years ago, when the keeper
was Mrs. Julia F. Williams, widow OF
Horace Williams, formerly Of Waterville,
Me. He came to California with the
forty-niners, and chased the phantom of
riches through all the mining camps OF
the state, until he broke his leg and had
to give up prospecting. Through the
influence of friends he obtained the posi-
teton of keeper of the lighthouse at
Santa Barbara in March, 1855. and per-
formed the duty until his death In 1865,
when his widow was appointed to sue
ceed him. Mrs. Williams continued to
tend the light until her death IN Decem-
ber, 1905. and during the forty years In
which she was in charge she never left
her post but twice.
For forty-nine years Mrs. Williams
lived in that lighthouse. nine years with
her husband a companion and forty
years alone. except with her children.
Every night during that half century
larly than the moon or any of the stars
from the Santa Barbara point of view
For the last eight or ten years of her
life, when age and faithfulnesS made
her an object of interest, she received
many visitors with modest and graceful
cordiality, and so many questions were
asked that her son prepared a little
biography giving the incidents in her
career. He states that every night for
more than thirty-nine years, except the
nights which her two children were
born, she climbed the iron steps to the
lantern IFS feet from the ground, and
lighted the lamp Every night at mid
night the lamp was trimmed or changed
for fresh one with her own hands, and
every morning, as the sun gilded the
eastern mountain tops, the same hand
extinguished the light and drew the cur
tain over the lens. Except the second
daughter, who was called home when
fifteen years old, her children have one
by one married and moved away until all
are gone. There has never been a wreck
here but once, and that was during
beautiful. calm. moonlight night, when
careless slipper allowed his vessel, The
Pride of the Sea, laden with mer-
chandise, to drift in near the shore and
was not able to keep off the rocks
When Mrs. Williams died in December.
1909, Mrs. Caroline Morse, her daughter.
was appointed keeper of Santa Barbara
light station with salary of $3.50 per
annum.

Got Rich Digging Graves.

in the San Joaquin valley. where agri-
culture has recently taken the place OF
mining, was afflicted with malaria. It
was the most unhealthy place In the val
ley The death list was long and grew
rapidly. as the cemetery will testify. An
old man named Tuttle had charge OF
that melancholy but necessary institu-
ton. and his price for digging graves
was higher than was paid anywhere else
He dug SO many graves and charged SO
much for them that he got rich and
went back east, where he set up as an
aristocrat and sent his sons to college
and his daughters to a boarding school.
Tuttle was very near" He had a rec-
