Every boy knows the three eyes to be found in one end or a cocoonnut, and many a boy has bored these eyes out, one or two of them, with the small blade of a pocketknife so as to get at the milk in the cocoonnut, which he has then drained out into a cup or drunk direct from the cocoonnut itself. But there is a more fascinating way still of getting at the milk in the cocooanut. By this other method the cocooanut is opened at the other end from the eyes. The cocooanut is struck all around gently and repeatedly with a hammer, or a stone will do, at a distance of about one-third of the way down from the top, about where the arctic circle would be on a globe. A continual gentle tapping will finally crack the shell of the nut all around; not in a line exactly on the circle perhaps, but pretty near to it. Sometimes it cracks shell and meat of the nut, too so that both can be lifted off together: sometimes it cracks out only a shell cap at the top, which is lifted off, and the cap of meat underneath is then cut out around with a knife. And then there you are with the white lined cocooanut cup to drink from—New York Sun. Getting an Extra Ration. Medical Officer (going his rounds)—Well, Murphy, how are you this morning?

THURSDAY. JULY 2. 1903. MARKET and SALT Meats In a Minor Key I saw a young fellow, not so long ago sway a great convention by the majesty of his eloquence. He had the hundreds of delegates going, taking them from pit to dome of enthusiasm. He could have broken any slate put up by the bosses in that convention—could have nominated any man he listed for any place on the ticket. I saw him years before as a kid at school bursting into tears at breaking down in his effort to recite a simple poem which everybody knew. All the rest of us laughed heartily at what we considered his childishness. He tried it again, another day; that boy had in him the heart of a lion, and he had, too, intelligent parents at home whose lives were wrapped up in him. They have passed over into the beyond, these parents—rest their souls; but I doubt if there ever was such another pair of them. They coaxed and counselled with their boy; it was hard work to get him to tackle the recitation again. But he did it—and was again swept away in the flood of tears that carried him off his feet. The rest of us laughed to see such sport, but when this lad, who is now the most eloquent and persuasive of orators, tried it again, after a lapse of weeks, and succeeded, he was the proudest boy at school. And he grew better and course large receipts from customs revenues at the eleven months of the present year had amounted to more than any entire year in our history. At the end of May the receipts had amounted to $262,000,000. The largest receipts for an entire year were 1902, being $264,000,000, and next largest in 1901, being $238,000. Although it is unfair to pave the year's internal revenue receipts with those of any fiscal since 1899, when the war law began to operate, it is interesting to make a comparison with and 1898, when the present era prosperity was beginning. The internal revenue receipts for the first year which closed the 30th last month, will probably amount about $228,000,000. The taxes, which these receipts have been rived, are the normal taxes of allied of peace. The largest internal revenue receipts in any year under peace conditions in the history of the country were in 1898 when the aggregate collections were $170,000,000. 1899 when the war taxes were in operation, the collections from internal revenue amounted to $273,000. The receipts of the government from all sources this fiscal year probably aggregate $556,000. The receipts from all sources this year were $541,650,154. This possible gain of more than $14,000,000 regarded a fine tribute to the BRAND JOES ANAHEIM. ke room for new and that willory at St. Louis. 45c and Up d not to rip, and if theyading department in store Weekly Gazette.

Grant of San Diego saying he will organize a political bureau to further his chances for the vice presidency. Wouldn't that kill you? Why, bless your soul, Grant, why don't you make it president and be done with it? You may doubt if there ever was such another pair of them. They coaxed and counselled with their boy; it was hard work to get him to tackle the recitation again. But he did it—and was again swept away in the flood of tears that carried him off his feet. The rest of us laughed to see such sport, but when this lad, who is now the most eloquent and persuasive of orators, tried it again, after a lapse of weeks, and succeeded, he was the proudest boy at school. And he grew better and better at this much neglected art of reciting—which, when we grow up, we call stump-speaking, I was thinking of this chap the other day—I received a letter from him and immediately thought of his poem and his tears. The lines run like visions through my mind and, such was the pathos, their tender sentiment and their beauty, that the unbidden tears started in the eye. What was the poem? Well, I'm not going to tell you, for then you would be laughing at me. But it proved that that chap was many a year ahead of me in getting a neckhold upon the beauties that lay hidden in that simple piece of verse. Should you ask, in the language of the astonished small boy looking at the circus poster, if this is all literally true, the answer is, that few things in this world are, like the poster we see occasionally, literally true; but it does as a text whereon a few remarks may be based, upon the necessity of teaching our school children how to get up and say things in public. Those boys who grow up to be men and can do as this young fellow whom I have just presented to you—they will be leaders of men; those who do not, will be among the led, every time. We should have more oratorical contests, such as that of the high school pupils some evening ago. I had rather be able to make a good stump speech, such as any of a half dozen men in Orange county can on fit occasions tear off and deliver the goods, than to be the best daub artist who ever decorated canvas under the shadow of the Campanile. My taste may be bad; but let us give more time and attention to the almost forgotten art of declaiming at school. The resolutions adopted denounce the government's tariff policy; op pose government by injunction; demand the election of United States senators by direct vote; oppose imperialism and demand that our government shall declare it to be its purpose and without delay "to adopt such measures as shall give to the people of the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico their inalienable right of self government." The financial plank protests against the plan presented in the Aldrich bill recently before the United States senate, by which the money of the nation shall be loaned to capitalists upon the bonds and securities of private corporations, peclaring it to be an "effort to give value and stability to watered bonds and securities of corporations, many of which are maintaining monopolies in defiance of law and public sentiment." The decision rendered last week by the supreme court setting aside judgment obtained by San Luis Obispo county against the state for claims of orphans and half orphans is said to mean a saving to the state of at least a million dollars. At the present time there are claims aggregating $200,000 for orphans on file, and it is said that many more would have presented had the San Luis Obispo decision been affirmed. The San Francisco can makers' strike is over and the can makers are again at work. Good, let them be rushed. The treasury surplus for the fiscal year has already passed the $45,-000,000 set by Secretary Shaw some weeks ago as the probable limit of excess of receipts over expenditures. There has been no year in the recent history of the country when the influence of general business conditions on the state of the government finances has been so apparent as this year. Twelve or fourteen months ago there were persons who predicted a deficit, or at best a very small surplus for the coming fiscal period. But now, with few days of the fiscal year still left, the probability is the surplus of revenues over disbursements will be not less than $50,000,-000. It is not unlikely in fact that the surplus will go as high as $55,-000,000. Last year the treasury surplus was $11,500,000 but at that time war The resolutions adopted denounce the government's tariff policy; op pose government by injunction; demand the election of United States senators by direct vote; oppose imperialism and demand that our government shall declare it to be its purpose and without delay "to adopt such measures as shall give to the people of the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico their inalienable right of self government."

The next Republican national convention will be dominated by controlled by Lodge, Foraker; other pronounced Roosevelt while Hanna and his participants will have a back seat. It is positively known to me Republicans in Washington there has been no agreement relied to continue Hanna at the end of the Republican committee, the opinion is becoming genet that there will be no such agreement Hanna's connection with the movement to prevent the president's dorsement by the Ohio convenant has left its scars, and it is predict that the president will never convinced of Hanna's devotion loyalty to him. Without such fervor Hanna could not act as chairman a campaign where the preside political future is at stake, therefore it is expected that at proper time he will announce the state of his health compels to give up the chairmanship. BRAKEMAN AXTELL PROVED A the shadow of the Campanile. My taste may be bad; but let us give more time and attention to the almost forgotten art of declaiming at school. Now comes U. S. Grant of San Diego saying he will organize a political bureau to further his chances for the vice presidency. Wouldn't that kill you? Why, bless your soul, Grant, why don't you make it president and be done with it? You may be a little bit late for next year, to be sure, but who knows, I think you have about as much chance of bagging one as the other, and while running for the more important office you will have more fun for your money. But you need not organize a political bureau and send out literature—at least, don't send me any. For it will do you no good, and cost lots of dough. Dissolve the literary bureau, take my advice, and this is the way you may secure the nomination—for vice-president. Remain quietly at home attending to your own affairs, and every afternoon about 4 o'clock take a brisk walk in the open air. San Diego climate is good for the lungs of vice-presidential impossibilities. Then if the American people want you for the second place on the ticket with Roosevelt, well and good. But I think all this talk about a "Pacific Coast Candidate" for the office is bosh. There exists no good reason why a coast man should be placed on the ticket.. No political advantage can come of it, and the dexterous hands who manipulate the political checkerboard probably have their eyes, if not their hands, upon another man for the place. There seems to be no chance for Grant this year, besides, if the coast is to name the man my choice is going to Skipo Craig, the red-headed bronco-buster of the Roosevelt drive at Redlands. Twelve or fourteen months ago there were persons who predicted a deficit, or at best a very small surplus for the coming fiscal period. But now, with few days of the fiscal year still left, the probability is the surplus of revenues over disbursements will be not less than $50,000,-000. It is not unlikely in fact that the surplus will go as high as $55,-000,000. Last year the treasury surplus was $91,000,000, but at that time war taxes were in operation which brought several millions of dollars a month into the Federal treasury. These taxes were repealed a little more than a year ago, to take effect at the beginning of the fiscal period, July 1, 1902. It was estimated that the changes in the war-tax law would cause a falling off in receipts from internal revenue amounting to something like $80,000,000. The increasing prosperity of the country has caused such a great growth in the production of articles upon which internal revenue taxes are levied that the apparent falling off on account of changes in the schedules will amount to not more than $11,000,000 or $12,000,000. It is believed the total customs receipts for the year about to close will aggregate nearly $285,000,000, which is more than $30,000,000 in excess of the customs receipts for the fiscal year 1902. Yet last year was a record-breaker in the customs business of the country. Although many persons believed that the high-water mark in foreign commerce of the country was reached in the fiscal year, 1901, it is almost certain that exports for the current fiscal year will exceed those of the banner year 1901. As to imports, there is no longer any doubt that this year's incoming shipments will be larger than those of any other year in the history of the country. Large imports mean, of Cousin of Mrs. Clara Bitner of This Distinguishes Himself in a Wreck A bad wreck occurred on the N Shore railroad in Marin county one last week, when a special train, reeling to San Francisco from a run off the track and rolled down embankment.

In the Nellis seed contract suit before the court of claims at Washington an affidavit by Charles Kingsley of Falls Church, Ga., has been made public, alleging that A. C. Nellis of New York, who had the contract for furnishing seed ready for distribution to the government two years ago, directed that no books were to be kept and that the packages should be light weight. The legal representatives of Nellis are suing for the payment of $18,000 which Secretary Wilson withheld from the contract payment for alleged non-performance of contract. The full amount of the contract was $108,000. Secretary Wilson said recently that the $18,000 was withheld as the result of an inquiry into the work of the contractor at the time, and that the government is still in possession of Nellis' bond for $35,000. Wilson said he had directed that the seed contract and its execution be probed to the bottom and that the investigation had not implicated anyone in the government employ. The distribution machines used by Nellis, he said, failed to do satisfactory work and caused serious delay in the annual seed distribution, and the great rush of work subsequently made it impossible for the government inspector to see that all was being done. Kingsley was foreman for Nellis, and in his affidavit says that no record books were kept showing the amount of seed received in bulk, that he had suggested the keeping of such books, but that Nellis said he did not want them kept. He charges that a great portion of seeds were put up in light weight packages, that Nellis instructed him to notify the employees engaged in LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Orange County Exhibit. The exposition to be held at St. Louis will be opened in April, 1904, which makes it necessary to gather this season such products as are to be put in preservatives. The commissioners are anxious that Orange county's exhibit should be complete and creditable and to that end they ask the assistance of all. Without this assistance many products may be overlooked which should be represented. J. C. Joplin has rooms in the court he had already has made a fair start toward collecting an exhibit. He asks that he may be notified by mail or otherwise of any articles suitable for exhibition, that he may call for them at the proper time. Where Was Cyrus? Some of the wicked oil-well boys—and for wickedness they take the cake—were over at Fullerton the other day, and seizing an opportunity for pulling the leg of the local telephone operator (who is of the male persuasion and young and green) they sent a dispatch to the wells asking that Cyrus Noble be requested to come to the phone. The youthful operator sought the mythical person first at one camp and then an other, but failed to locate him. "Does Cyrus Noble hang out here?" he asked first of one and then of the other wicked crews, but the wicked men said they had seen him not. Up to the hour of going to press Cyrus' whereabouts had not been discovered. If this should meet his sour-mash optic let him take the advice of the oil men and never take any water in his'n. Death of Forrest E. Pune The receipts of the government all sources this fiscal year will probably aggregate $556,000,000. Receipts from all sources last were $541,650,154. This probation of more than $14,000,000 is added a fine tribute to the prosperity of the country, in part of the decreased sources of revenue caused by the repeal of theoning war taxes before the beginning of the current fiscal period. The total expenditures of the government for the fiscal year now will probably be about $800,000 or $506,000,000. This is larger amount than in any other since the civil war, except in 1901. The enormous extents of 1899, amounting to less than $600,000,000, were caused, course, by the expenses of the Irish war. There is something more than good in the report that Senator Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts will succeed Hanna as chair of the Republican national committee before the opening of the resign in 1904. Republicans who has to know the plans of the silent and his close friends and local advisers, express the belief that the next Republican national convention will be dominated and led by Lodge, Foraker and pronounced Roosevelt men, Hanna and his particular will have a back seat. It is positively known to many publicans in Washington that he has been no agreement reach to continue Hanna at the head of the Republican committee, and opinion is becoming general there will be no such agreement's connection with the move to prevent the president's imminent by the Ohio convention left its scars, and it is predicted the president will never be accused of Hanna's devotion and loyalty to him. Without such faith, he could not act as chairman in campaign where the president's actual future is at stake, and before it is expected that at the end time he will announce that date of his health compels him give up the chairmanship. MAN AXTELL PROVED A HERO HEMAN AXTELL PROVED A HERO of Mrs. Clara Bitner of This City introduces Himself in a Wreck. A wreck occurred on the North railroad in Marin county one day week, when a special train, returning to San Francisco from a funeral, off the track and rolled down an embankment. Jack Axtell, cousin of Nick Bitner of this city, was man upon the train, and besides badly hurt distinguished himself by bravery during and following the up. The San Francisco Examiner makes special mention of Axtell, the following effect: HEROISM SAVES LIFE. A act of bravery was performed byoman Axtell in rescuing Kittie Benkotter, sixteen years old, living liberty street, San Francisco, from with a mass of wreckage. Though severely bruised himself, Axtell did give up until he had dragged the worm her dangerous predicament. The debris had piled up and threatened to collapse at any moment and out her young life. Axtell him was flung beneath the wreckage in mashup. With great difficulty he managed to extricate himself. Then, the danger that others were in gave no thought to his own suffer-though he had received a number were hurts, but set to work. Using Miss Elkerenkotter pinned both timbers, he hastily got an axe. Giving it with might and main, he succeeded in cutting away the debris to extent that he could get the girl other hazardous position. For Rent. Furnished front room. Inquire at office.
