We promised you a little sketch
of our vacation trip. Well, here
we are 5000 feet nearer the sky
than you are. We travelled many
miles in the Sacramento Valley
and then came up the Feather
River Canyon, to Blairsden, to
get the cool mountain air for a
few days.
One can see the Sierra Nevada
best from the saddle, and the
Indian trail is the principal high
way. AS your days travel I'M
rolls, you see many things.
Quails scuttle away, grouse boom
solemnly on the rigid limbs of
pines, deer vanish through dis
tant thickets, to appear on still
more distant ridges.
There is a lot to be seen and
enjoyed in a mountain mile.
Through the high country two
miles an hour is a fair rate of
speed. Down in the gulch we
make our camp. 1t has been the
home of the miner. and the long
cradles for the separation of gold
decayed rocks and some of the
old cabins still stand. High as
the camp may be, so it is not
above Underline, it is not too
high for the coyote, the bob cat,
or the wolf.
There are many strange sorts
of humans in a mining country,
but of them all, found the pros
pector is always a prospective
millionaire. You meet him on
every trail, every highway and
byway. Where there is no way,
in the mountains. The fascina-
ton is in the hazard. The spell
so binding, is usually not that of
avarice, but lies in that delicious,
feverish, Intoxicating charm of
chance.
Taking a stern Methodistic
view Of mining business, as now
proceeding in the Feather River
Canyon. I should call prospect
ing a game of chance, exciting,
bewildering, which defrauds no
one but yourself.
In the foot hills the deer hunt
ers are active, and most of them
successful. Down in the Valley,
it seems to be in the open season
for peaches. grapes. prunes and
hops, for they are all being har-
vested. The Vina Ranch, south
of Los Molinos, will harvest ten
thousand tons of grapes that
will make one million gallons of
wine. The four hop yards around
Los Molinos, are now employing
3O0 men, women and children.
The greater part of the peach
crop which was unusually large
this year, has been shipped or
dried, while the prune harvest is
just beginning.
The harvesting Of the five
crons of alfalfa is almost contin-

THE KENTUCKY POTATO PATCH.
The Kentucky Irish potato
patch contains 81, 900 acres this

rural boxes, but the telephone
lines seem to run in every d.
rection where there is grass and
water. They follow the stock
range as we'll as the farms and
vineyards.
The influence of the old Span
ish land grants has net been en-
tirely obliterated. Perhaps the
underlined thing which we cannot
understand about these va S
grants, is the secrets of their
great success combined with
that of their total failure. All
things that were hoped for are
gone. There seems to be in the
minds of some of us tinge of
regret, not that they are nearly
gone, but that they ever came.
There is an army of day labor
ers, each carrying a roll of blan-
kets, travelling up and down the
valley all the time. Just now
many are going to the San Joa-
quin Valley, the dry, alkali, the
jsckrabbit country, where the
vast orchards and vineyards are
artifically irrigated, where the
sun is blazing hot, the work hard,
the pay good. The men
march in groups that they may
sing together. At night their
campfres light up the valley.
The ranchers and farmers are
looking for them. Every race
and nation is represented among
the workers. There are Italians,
Greeks, Frenchmen and Turks.
to whom the work is not new.
The people of the Sacramento
Valley are prosperous because
nearly every form of wealth pro-
duced is near by. The peculiar
climate has taught men to take
conditions as they find them and
make it pay. They make money
more easily than they save it.
There is an unending procession
of home.seekers and home-build-
ers. It continues to-day with as
regular a movement as it pos
sessed years ago. 1t is one CT
the great factors in the Vests
development.
Of such is the web and wool
of our little trip. But through
it runs the pattern of fantastic
delight. The trail Of the noun.

It was not curiosity merely that made her place her head outside the window. She heard the mocking voice of Loubeque, but dimly. Still it was his voice and surcharged with menace. But how could she gain an entrance, how see what was uanspfring?
 She quietly stepped to the fire es- cape. Two high and wide ledges sep arated her from the fire escape outside the spy's suit. She dared not look down dared not think, dared do noth- ing save heave a sigh of relief when she found herself safe once more out side the spy's window. It had been easy after all. She peeked within the room, strangling little expression of rage and shame as Thompsonis threat came to her ears. Breathlessly she watched the men struggling upon the floor, unable to understand the hurried retreat of both from the roomA She opened the window and slipped inside, her bosom heaving unanimously at this opportunity to search the mans suit
 The door slapped open just as she was exploring the drawer of the table. She felt herself seized by the wrists, uttered a cry of protest and dismay and pleading, only to look into strange.

WHAT TRUE LOVE
 MEANS TO MEN

'sT'o love one maiden only, cleave to her
 And worship her by years of noble
 deeds,
 Until they won her; for indeed know Of no more subtle master under
 Heaven Thar is the maiden passion flor maid Not only to keep down the base in But teach high thought, and amiable
 words
 And eourtliness, and the desire Of
 fame
 And love of truth, and all that makes
 a man." K
 It Is the popular, romantic fancy that young girls are always alert to discover the hero who is destined to be their Prince Charming-the lover who is to woo and love them
 Young men seldom or never have such rosy-colored fancies. To have a. good time is all they look forward to when they meet a charming girl. Even the young man emerging from his teens can usually count his heart af- fairs by the score. Pretty girls fit so constantly across his path it never soc- CUTS to him that life holds a deeper meaning than to laugh and firt it's golden hours away.
 The najoTdty of girls are somewhat
  nothings in their ears and watch the light gleam into their eyes and the blushes mantling their cheeks. When he comes across a girl who is differ ent somehow from all the rest, his in- terest and his curiosity are simuItane- ously awakened. The same comp1i- ments he has paid to other girls he hesitates to repeat to her. Of all things he fears to lose her regard for him. He is conscious that a different element has crept into his life. Since he met her there is something want ing in the other companions who were so satisfying to him in other days.
 He feels a sense of his inferiority to her and the fear of g. possible rival ment and woo and win her from him. The girl may be not nearly as bril- liant as the other women he knows, but he has begun to find a charm in her society that is new to him. She does not strive to please him. putting herself in his way if he is absent from her a week or write gushing letters, telling him how lonely she is without him. If he desires to call, he must seek humbly for the privilege. He cannot remain as long as fancy wills. He respects her the more, for his be- ing obliged to take his departure at 10.80 at the latest. She is pure, sweet girl, without being a prude or possessed of too straight-laced Puri-f tanical notions. When he begins to ponder on what life would be to him without her, that she IS the one per- son in all the world whose companion-. ship, sympathy and anection he eraves he realizes the meaning of tue sentiment- love.
 It is this sentiment which causes men to propose marriage, become home builder and to joyously take his. bride to the cottage or mansion (as the case may bel swhich he has pre- pared for her. True love awakens in man the instinct to wed. Fleeting fancies keep him from 1t-s- No man goes through life without meeting the one woman whom Heaven intended for him. This is the Alpha and Omega of what true love means for man.

A Jolly GirI and Young Man

Dear Miss Libbey:
 I would like your advice on some proper games, as soon am to enter tain. Is 1t right to play kissing games at an outing? Should a girl ask D young gentleman in the house when he brings her homer Ought a gentle man assist young lady by taking her arm? Do young men judge a. girl ad- yersely if she is jolly and full of fun :? Please advise.
 ANXIOUS hTARIE
 Popular parlor games for outing can be modest and interesting. When a gentleman brings a young lady home, if it is after 9:3o o'clock, he does not expect to be invited into the house, as it is not good form. A gem teman may assist lady along by taking her arm if she cannot keep up in a, crowd or if the walking is poor, which Is not often the case. Some young men prefer jolly girls. Others, who are lively, prefer the opposite. A man should never judge a girl ad- versely if she knows him to be nirth- ful and when not to be jolly.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

|
 When bed quilts or blankets are too short. sew a strong piece of cloth to one end. This can be tucked un- der the Iz1a-ttress and the bedc1othing s held firmly in place
 Cereals should not be put away in and allow the dust and flies to get in. Wide-mouthed glass jars are sam itary and convenient.
 The best effect in polishing floors is gained by having them finished to the point of a soft glow and not a shine. They will then harmoIlize with the furnishings.
 If you wish the contents of a sauce pan to boil quickly do not allow a metal spoon to remain in the pan. because a spoon carries off a great deal of the heat
 Soak a common floor mop in coal oil; it will make a good dust absorber. Soak the mop thoroughly, then hang it out in the air for a few days. It l will then be ready for use. A square piece of cotton, pasted at each corner of the table oilcIoth before using it, will prevent the cor ners from wearing out as soon as they otherwise would.
 When you are cooking a chicken, try the wing to find out if it is prop crly done. If the work finds the wing tender, you can be sure of the entire chicken being well cooked
 A very useful thing to keep in the sewing basket is a pair of .tweez- 4ers to pull out stubborn threads left in the basting, especially those that the sewing machine has gone over. Sometimes hamburg steak is dry and tasteless. Put two or three table spoons of fresh cream or milk and a few bread crumbs in with it. You will find it juicy and delicious
 When burning table scraps contain ing grease or powder substance the unpleasant cloud of smoke can be avoided by placing the scraps in a
