which | speak from observation.
Unto every man he rendered his
due, and when man failed to rem
der his due to him, he even yet
rendered that man a place in his
great, noble heart, pursued his
pilgrimage heavenward uncom-
planning. He was a member Of
the Christian Church and though
he made no loud acclaim of his re-
'ligion, he quitely lived it every
day and every hour. To every.
boy he gave the advice Of a soli-
.citious father, advice ennobling,,
inspiring, uplifting. To the
weary traveller his home was a
heaven of rest, his family board
a social center for all. With~the
bereaved he wept; with the glad
he sang songs. To the erring he
offered gentle restraint, to the
upright he lent effective encour-'
agemeht. Z;
Throughout the long half CEN
tury of his ripper years, over the
rough ways and the smooth ways,
he bore the burdens imposed up
on him without complaint. At
last he sleeps his last long sleep
amid the seems Of life's labors.
1t We're folly to tell me that all
that noble life is forever done
gone out as the candle is snuffed.
IT CAN NOT BE TRUE: Wherever
the god, the noble, and the pure
in heart HE their spirits after
death, HE IS THERE! Some
where in the mighty system of
worlds, on some far greater and
more wonderful sphere, where
nobler deeds and broader spirit
ual accomplishments distinguish
its inhabitants, a world tous un-.
seen and unknown, lies an inini-
tely wider field of usefulness for
him. To-day he is but newborn
to that mystic land, a new work,
new happiness born of an in
creased usefulness, all unfolding
before him. Let US emulate the

OBITUARY.
Died on the 9th inst, James
H. Lewis aged 75o years. His
father was Gardner H. Lewis,
his mother was Mary Amyx.
Only two of the family (which was
a large one) yet survive, viz: Til
man A. Lewis, of Blaze and Da-
my Elliott, of Lexington. Uncle
Jim as he was familiarly called,
was widely known and universal
ly respected and loved by all
who knew him. Ill health of
more than a years duration cul-
mination in a severe attck of kid
ney trouble a short time ago,
and resulted, rather abruptly in
his death. He was laid to his
final rest on quiet knoll near
his old home, a spot selected by
him years ago for his last long
sleep. A large concource of re-
latives and friends attended, his
-fmeral on Sunday, the day fol-
lowing his death; and we have
never seen more bitter or more
universal grief at the portal of a
tomb.
We shall rarely see his like a.
gain. With him has passed away
one of the few surviving "old
time gentlemen. "More than three
quarters of century he lived and
moved as an actor on the stage
fife, nobly, truly and conscient-
iously playing the part. If he
an enemy in all the worldit was
an enmity held secret. Though
Industrious and active in the
affairs of life, in all those
seventy-fve years he never
had a lawsuit. His name ap-
pears on the docket of but one
court of the Universe, and that
is the Court of Heaven. He was
without question, the most law
abiding man | have ever known,
If he had thought that he had,
by accident, violated the most
trivial statute of the country, he
would have lost a week of sleep
in worry because of it. Strictly,
even severely honest, he owed nc
man a dollar that he did not pay
with precise promptitude. He
was generous to the last limit,
charitable even to excess. Nc
man ever went from his door
hungry or unfed. The wall Of
human grief and suffering pierc,
ed his heart as with a spear, and
his response TO the call Of human
want and distress was ever d
in q substantial one. His hand
sought his pocket by instinct, and
his tears and dollars went out to
the stricken one with simultane-
4 GUS impulse. No red tape en-.
numbered his charity. The shift
J less.and the slothIul were as of
TENTS beneficiaries as the unfor.
tunate worthy, but it was all The
same to'Uncle jim; he made ne
distinctions in the cries of woe
If youthful days were marked
by some of the excesses common
to young life, he was no NOR,
indulgent in them than mos
gentlemanly men, and he devot

Carnes. superintendent of the state in
SccIary. has resigned and will enter on
IIc first of the new year the service o:
ihe Natomas Consolidated company.
Carnes was one of the three original
members of the state board of horti-
cultural examiners. and he has served
IN that capacity for more than 10 years.
CarneS was formerly horticultural in
Spect0r of Riverside county and re-
signed that position to accept a posi-
ton with the state. He is an entomOlO-
gist of world wide reputation. He in
augurated the science Of commercially
fighating insect pests with their natural
enemies, and it was due largely. if not
exclusively, to his work and direction
in this line. that this branch OF the
California commission of horticulture
stands as the greatest in the world in
protecting fruits, vines, trees and
crops from the insects which prey up
on them.
1t is an open secret that the rela-
tons of Carnes and DR.. A. J. Cook,
state horticultural commissioner, have
not been OF the friendliest. 1t is un-
derstood that J. Thompson is sslated
to succeed CarneS.

Even the Camel There

Los ANGELES. Dee. i3.-One Of
the most remarkap'e discoveries in the
history Of paleontology in America
was made at La Brea tar pits on the
western edge Of the city several davs
ago by Prof. r. C.. Stoner of the Uni
Nerslty of California, who for several
months has been eXcavating strange
biological fossils of the Ouarternarv
period with large crew of assist
ants.
The startling find was the skull and
more than two-thrdS of the skeleton
of camel of the Pleistocene aga
There is no record of any kind avail
able to show that this animal ever
existed in America IN past ages, and
50 remarkable was the find that Stoner
at once secured two Of the greatest
experts in the country TO pass an opin-
ion on it.

cradle depth i'll our excavations" said

been able to classify them with others
right along, and there has been no
great comment on account of their be-
longing to known species. About two
weeks ago one of the men came across
a long nosed, narrow headed skull.
very different from anything we mad
uncovered.
1T was in excellent state of pres
ervatiOn, and after securing a cast of
1t and studying thoroughly all of its
characteristics, we came to the con-
cluslon that it was camel. Later
we uncovered the vertebrae of the
animal from the shoulder blade down
to the pelvis. The rear leg bones are
also complete. Only the lower portion
Of the front legs has been found, while
the neck bone remains to be discov-
cred. There was sufficient Of it to
make a very careful analysis, and l
decided it must be a camel"
In order to authOritate his views,
Professor Stoner called in Prof. ]. C.
Merriam, head Of the department Of
paleontOlOgy at, the university, and
Charles Hart Merriam, for many years
head fthe biological survey for the
government, but now retired Both of
these scientists agreed that the animal
belongs to the camel family. only that
it is far larger than the camel of
today.
1--WE all have been trifle nonplussed
at the finding Of the skeleton of this
animal in La Brea fields, since there
are no records to show that the camel
at any time in ancient periods roamed
the forests and plains of America" said
Professor Stoner. "This will undOubt-
edly create much comment from the
scientific world, which has almost come
to the conclusion that the fierce saber
