James Lick Made Good His Boast
When seorned as Suitor.
The story of "Lick's Folly, or the
Mahogany Mill" has to do with the
romance of the life of James Lick, the
donor of the Lick observatory.
In early life young Lick fell in love
with the daughter of a well to do
miller for whom he worked. When he
made known his love. which was re-
ciprocated by the girl, the miller was
angry and is said to have replied:
"Out. you beggar! Dare you think
of my daughter who will inherit my
riches? Have you a mill like this I
Have you a single penny in your
purseY'
To this Lick replied that he had
nothing us yet but one day he would
have a mill beside which this one
would be pigsty.
In 1854 the quiet, parsimonious
James Lick surprised everybody by
building magnificent -four mill near
San Jose The mill was finished with

anu was LUZ uiSHSu Will the pSsl uu'
chinery possible. He made the grounds
about the mill very attractive and be-
gan early to set out trees both for
fruit and ornament
Lick caused his elegant mill to be
photographed without and within and
sent the pictures to the miller who had
scorned him in his youth.
Nineteen years after Mr. Lick built
his mill, Jan. 49, 1873 he surprised the
people of San Jose again by giving II

The village dogs Of Arabia are a real

the Sunday School Times They are,
as rule, great. powerful brutes, often
very handsome. extremely fierce and
capable of defending the focks from
wolves and other marauders. | have
often been told that when attacked by
these ferocious animals the proper
thing to do is to sit down quickly on
the ground. when they will at once de
sist.
But for my part | never had the
courage to try this plan and had never
seen it done during all my years of
travel till last year We had stopped
to rest and eat our lunch in village

open balcony and saw an elderly Turk

Suddenly two huge dogs, barking fu

FIRM FOUNDATION
NOTHING CAN UNDER

People are sometimes slow to recog-
nize true merit, and they cannot be
blamed, for so many have been hum
plugged in the past. The experience of
hundreds of Mount Holly residents, ex-
pressed publicly through newspapers
and other sources, places Doan's Kidney
Pills on firm foundation here.
Mrs. w. G. Mayer, Ridgway street,
Mount Holly, N. J., says: 81 have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and from the re-
suits obtained, can recommend them.
I suffered considerably from pains in
my back, accompanied by headaches
and spells of dizziness Although was
constantly trying remedies, could not
find one that would benefit me until
began using Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Jones Pharmacy. They dis
posed of every symptom of my trouble
, and it has never returned"
Mrs. Mayer is only one Of many Mt.

dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your

county fair to be held since the
forming of what is now Lincoln
county. The residents of that sec

and with the assistance of the coun-
ty commissioners procured ground S
aud erected buildings for the coun-
ty fair. This end of the county
did not take very much interest in
the fair last year, probably because
it has formerly been the thing for
one end of the county to oppose
what the other end was trying to
accomplish. However a number
of the people in this end helped
along with the fair. This year
there will be another fair held on
the county fair grounds at Eureka
Good NEIL have been appointed on
the fair board from all points of the
county to do the work. Men like
