PASADENA, CAL.
After a ride of eight miles we came to what
was then known as Porter's hill. The view
from this elevation was splendid. To the
north one could see the rugged mount ins,
gray and wrinkled; the foothills and the
upper part of the valley, where the sheep
herder had his little hut that he moved about
to suit his convenience while he and his
faithful dogs looked after pasturage and
water for his band of dirty white sheep.
To the eastward was, and is. the line Of
mountains, extending too far for the eye to
reach the end of the range; and here the
valley spreads out wider and wider, and
there were scattering live oaks, but most Of
the valley land was bare of trees - there was
greasewood hard by the foothills and on
them in spots.
Southwark lies now, as then, the great
valley of Southern California; and in 1t is the
San Gabriel valley. Here was, and is, an in
teresting mission church, whose chimes OF
bells could be heard miles away because the
air was still and clear. To the westward
foothills are the principal objects seen. 1t
was Just SO then. The whole was great
picture of part of madam Natures face, as
it was expose he e; rough in beauty and
beautiful because it rough-natural fea-
tures-no paint; no powder.
A portion of this hill had been set out to
orchard trees, the orange and the itme'
principally and the orchard was kept in a
very high state of cultivation. / had better
say that there were two orchards, belonging
to brothers-in-law, and one seemed to vie
with the other in orchard-upkeep. Both
orchards looked as though they had been
plowed, narrowed and sand-papered, they
were SO even and smooth; and the green foliage
of the citrus trees looked like an artists
brush-touches of their color upon a ground
work of brown. The effect was very pleasing
and easy for the eye 10 look upon.
We did mol remain long on this hilltop, but
drove on. And what do you think l saw l
saw the unfolding, of bud to full-grown
rose, as it were, See if you can see it while ]
tell you what saw.
We had crossed the first street OF the
colony tract, and were riding north on
| Orange Grove avenue, then country road
| way, but now a grand boulevard lined with
| homes of the rich. There a big live-oal
| tree in the center of the avenue a few rods
north of the said street; and beyond it. in the
| center of this avenue, and also in the center
| of the next cross street, was another big live
| oak, the distance between the two probably
| three blocks. Both oaks are now gone, hav-
| ing passed within two years.

YR CosIE CORNER, WELLS, Me.
Dear Aunt Madge:
On Friday, when l got my mail, what was
my surprise and joy to find three copies of
the dear old AMERICAN sent me from Mime
sofa back to Maine. l at once looked for
the NJ. B..column. 1t was ray of sunshine
on a jolly cold day. l just sat by the open
FIRE and devoured every item of the copies.
1t has been five years since l visited Els
worth, and at that time it was a sad home
coming-the death Of dear mama andthe pro-
longed illness of and death of dear old
"Grammy MAJ.
But just love to hear from all the people
there, they were ali so kind and helpful to me
in my trouble. My mama always looked for
words of strength and comfort in the NJ. B.
column. You must pardon me for writing
you, but l just had to, was so happy to see
the paper once more. There are quite few
in Ellsworth who would like these lines:
Build little fence of trust around to-day
Fill it's space with loving work and therein
stay,
Peer not through the shelterirg lbars at to-
morrowI
God viii help thee bear what comes of joy or
sorrow.

AT the last regular meeting, after de-
gree work, short program was presented.
The principal topic was "Ideals OF the
Lecture Hour, by the lecturer. Some of
the points brought out were: "An estab-
lished feature OF every meeting should be
ten minutes OF current events; more at
tention in discussions and papers to local
history and geography; more group music
rather than solo contributions; opening
and closing songs never omitted; fewer
hearty suppers and more stand-up, light
lunches, touching shoulders ali together;
parliamentary practice at least once year,
and its practice more carefully observed
at every meeting; more punctusl Begin
nings and earlier closings; lecturers W no
recognize responsibilities, and masters
who recognize lecturers; more grange
evenings in which all do few things
rather than few do ali the things"

GROWING OLD.
A little more gray in the lesseniug hair
Each day as the years go by;
little more stopping of the form,
A little more dim the eye;
A little more faltering of the step
AS We tread life's pathway o'er,
But little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone before.
A little more halting of the gait
And dullness of the ear;
growing weariness of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading of hopes, and ambitions, too,
A faltering in life's quest;
But little nearer every day
To sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life
AS the dear ones pass away;
A bigger claim on the Heavenly land
With every passing day.
A little farther from toll and care.
A little less way to roam;
A drawing near to peaceful voyage
And happy welcome home"

Dear Aunt Mddge:

Dear Aunt Madse:
Have we not had an ideal winter? Some
pretty cold days, of course, but no break in
the shedding and it looks now as though
winter would linger in the spring. Fine for
business. Though shut-in, have enjoyed
it.
/, too, have read the cali to develop the State
of Maine. 1 think it fine idea, and a good
commencement will be in our homes and
towns. 1t is SAD to see dear boys with the
dirty cigarette. 1 often think of the poem
Don't sendImy boy where your girl can't go'
l am reading Captain Warren's Wards" as
it comes in Farm and Home. Capt. Warren
is most interesting character. Have read
the book, ''V. V.'s Eyes," by a socialist The
book is as peculiar the title.
A thoughtful friend sent me for Christmas
a little booklet that have enjoyed very
much. "Cherry Ideals" by Everett Thornton
Brown, in it a quotation from Ruskin:
II you want knowledge, you must toll for it;
if food, you must toll for 1t, and if pleasure
you must toll for it. Toll is the law. Pleas
ure comes through toll and not by self-in-
dulgence and Incidence. When one gets to
love work, his life is happy one.
So, in a little while, if we want a clean
house We must toll for it, and we shall enjoy
the result enough to pay for the work
Kind wishes to Aunt Madge and all the
clan from SISTER f.
You have given us some good thoughts,
E., as usual, and I am glad so many have
mentioned the books they have been
reading. Edwina writes: .sWe have been
reading Mr.. Pratt's PATIENTS by Joseph
Lincoln, and enjoyed it very much. We
called it one of his best - good book to
read aloud"

An interested though unfamiliar sister on
Iowa's prairies wishes to pass on something
good to Sister Jennie, whose longing for
buttermilk is SO hard to supply. At our
Chautauqua last summer, Madame Mount

| Shepherd King" told us how to make the
| finest and purest buttermiIk as they did over
| there. She said:
"Take large glass Of fresh sweet milk and
/ the juice OF one lemon; beat them rapidly
together with an egg-beater. The result il
surprisingly like buttermiik, and just as good
| and healthful."
Sister Jennie, may it start you on the road
