FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148¼ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of shary frosts and cold winds make it place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms; make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Ansaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association. "The Man Who Loosed His Hold" by Wm. M. Osborne One of the distinguished features of the little village of Par Hills was the dense gully that lay upon one side of it. This gully was a never ending source of foe to the inhabitants. Mothers of bad children threatened them with it. Mothers of good children warned them against it. Its edges were deep and almost perpendicular. The bottom was so covered with a dense growth of undecomposed that it looked as though there were no signs of its depth. Young Perry Haskins, known as Piggy by his friends, was a very youthful specimen of humanity in the village of Par Hills. At times he was a bad boy; at other times, few and far between, he was exceptionally good. He was a prodigy at any rate, and in enterprise of all kinds he generally was the leader of the gang. His daring knew no bounds, and when the C. L. and P. decided to take in Far Hills on its main branch young Haskins was the first kid of his crew to cross the trestle that had been built to span the gully, and this he did even before it had been completed. After that the boys called it Piggy's bridge. Piggy would crawl out to the middle and with the eyes of all Far Hills upon him would lie upon his stomach and gaze with interest into the black depths of the gully below. After it was finished young Haskins' day was savaged a complete one unless he had walked across the trestle and then back again. Even this was a trickish premeditation, for there was nothing else than upon which to step, and a mistaking might prove fatal. And then, besides there were the trains. One night in spring young Haskins marched upon his constitutional across the trestle. He whistled as he went. But he was not the only thing that whistled as that warm night. He had barely reached the middle of the bridge while his startled eyes he be- It was brushed young Haskins' day weaver a complete one unless he had walted across the treetle and then back again. Even this was a stochastic proceeding, for there was not nothing else upon which to stop, and a mistaking might prove fatal. And then, building there were the trains. The train in spring young Haskins marched upon his constitutional across the treetle. He whistled as he went. But he was not the only thing that whistled on that warm night. He had barely reached the middle of the bridge where his startled eyes he beheld the glaring headlight of a locomotive. It was coming his way and with internal speed. He stopped and stood as though turned to a pillar of salt. The bridge held but one track. There was no place to seek for safety, for the trestle was no wider than an ordinary train. And the train came whistling down. It was not a hundred yards away when Piggy Haskins did the only thing there was left to do. With the defiance of an agile monkey he let himself carefully down between the tie. Undemean him there was snug but space and the bottom of the gutty. Over him there was nothing. The train did not take much time in getting over; but, according to Piggy Haskins' calculation, it was a couple of months at least. When at last he drew himself up upon a place of safety he felt that he had been through the experience of his life. His limbs quivered, and he felt obliged to crawl the length of the treetle upon his hands. His ride ended, entered the window of his baggage by the grape vines and lighting a candle, hastily disembarked his appearance in a mirror. He saw care that his hair had turned white during the occurrence. But it had not. It still was a delightful shade of red. Team passed. Haskins grew to be almost a man. One eventful morning he shook hands with all his family and friends and stepped forth from the village of Pag Hills to make his living. He went into a far country and made it. He became prosperous. It was just ten years after he had left that he determined to return. In the meantime he had not been back. His parents one evening morning received a letter from him while in its contents was somewhat out of the usual run of his epilogue. It ended with this pleasing statement: I am counting home for a short vacation. And what do you good people think? I shall not come alone. It is my purpose to grieve in this wide world, a young person who tomorrow will become my bride. My service Hills will be a wedding triumph in the evening of the 24. Haskins and his bride started from her own country, where they belonged and accompanied for his native mother all along the way young Haskins married his bride with stories of her life. She listened with delight, for at first early stage in the game engendered that Haskins said went. Haskins and his bride were due at the old house somewhat early in the evening.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties No. Farms Acres Los Angeles 6577 803,063 Orange 2288 590,438 Silverdale 3240 427,077 San Bernardino 2250 219,122 San Diego 3085 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties Acres Los Angeles 85,614 Orange 41,849 Riverside 2947 San Bernardino 37,577 San Diego 19,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 1880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the balauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 percent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern day or all day and an night when overmellow men mount with riches so suddenly acquire they hadn't had time to stop on how much they possessed outvie one another in the cut with the Lady Fortune.

Haskins and his bride started from the big country where they belonged and greeted tickets for his native place along the way young Haskins queued his bride with stories of her past. She listened with delight, for at that early stage in the game angling that Haskins said went. Haskins and his bride were due at the old town somewhat early in the evening. They would arrive at just about mid-Haskins suddenly surrounded by some of his old recollections, suggested a romantic scheme. He proposed that they should alight from the train at the little station shed at East Far Hills on this side of the gully and should walk across the trestle. There was but one thing that made Haskins' young bride consent, and that was that a lovely walk at that hour of the night with Haskins would not be amiss. She suggested the question of danger, as in duty bound to do, but the suggestion only made Haskins all the more determined. And, above all, he wanted to show his bride just where he hung on that beautiful night so very long ago. It happened therefore that at East Far Hills they alighted. And then, stepping out upon the truck in the wake of the recording train, they walked along the trestle. In the near distance the lights of Far Hills gleamed. To the right the moon, a large red ball of fire, was just beginning to rise. Finally they reached the middle of the bridge. Haskins ba" "This is excavated is the very spot where I hung for dear life. I was traveling in the opposite direction, and when I reached this very spot I heard in terrific whistling of an engine and saw the handlight there, down toward East Far Hills." He stopped suddenly, for suddenly upon the still night air he heard the breeze whistling of an engine, and he saw a headlight down toward East Far Hills. Another train was running them down. Haskins looked wildly around them for a place of shelter. There was none. He knew then that there was but one thing to do. Grasping his bride in his arms he half sighd half lowward. It was hard work, for he had grown into a man, while the space between the thin had held its own. One thing was lucky—Haskins' bride was small and slight. He directed her briefly to climb to him with both hands round his neck. She did so. With his two hands he clung to the ties above. They had hardly adjusted themselves when the train was upon them. Haskins whishto his bride that it would soon be over, and they would again be safe. But Haskins had reckoned without his host, for the train was a freighter and was moving with the rapidity of a small Besides, it had to wait till the passenger train ahead had moved along. Car after car bumped slowly over the ties, and Haskins held on till his arms, with double weight upon them, seemed starting from the sockets. Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief, for his trained ear acquainted him with the fact that the last car was approaching. It did approach, but it did not reach them, for suddenly the train began to back toward East Far Hills more slowly than it had proceeded. Haskins groaned. The strain was becoming unbearable. "I can't stand it much longer," he muttered, gritting his teeth. He shut his eyes and held on tight. And then the train stopped. Haskins yelled for aid. The whistle drowned his voice. Then the freight began to move again, and this time it moved forward. "Kitty," exclaimed Haskins wildly. "kiss me for the last time! I—we've got to drop. I can't hold on—I can't do anything. Goodby until!"— And then they dropped. They didn't drop very far. They dropped about a foot or so, not more. For in the long ten years that Haskins was away the road had filled up the old gully, and they had been hanging in the dark for nothing. Later they reached the house of Haskins' parents. As they stepped into the light his bride gave a strange start. Then she smiled. "Your gray hair," she whispered to Haskins. "Is an improvement on the red."

Spring St., Los Angeles, Cal. BALDY” MONSON’S SCALP. How It Was Won by “Lucky” Baldwin in a Faro Game. “During the time that gambling was its glory on the Pacific coast,” said an old Californian, “Lucky’ Baldwin was easily the most daring chance taker of all the notable argonauts. Baldwin did some amazing stunts in that day of all day and all night drinking, when overmellow men, most of them with riches so suddenly acquired that they hadn't had time to stop and figure out how much they possessed, tried to outvle one another in the capers they put with the Lady Fortune. “One night in the late fiftees ‘Lucky,’ was he was then called, walked into the famous old Alcatraz club on Kearney street in San Francisco after having been religiously shunning his bed for about three days and nights running—and in that shape ‘Lucky’ was, in those days, ready for anything. "A famous dealer in the Alcatraz club—the biggest gambling establish—the most at the time—was “I wonder how so many forest fires catch,” said Mrs. McBride. “Perhaps they catch accidentally from the mountain ranges,” suggested Mr. McBride. If Unwell Try a 50 cent bottle of Herbine, notice the improvement speedily effected in your appetite, energy, strength and vigor. Watch how brightens the spirits, gives freedom from indigestion and debility. Issa Story, Ava., Mo., writes, Sept. 10, 1900. “I was in bad health; I had stomach trouble for 12 months, alsoumb chills.” Dr. J.-W. Mory prescribed Herbine; it cured me in two weeks. I cannot recommend it too highly. It will do all you claim for it.” Sold by J. P. Hatzfeld. Said the Rev. Dr. Wesley to the Rev. Dr. Calvin, “Having any revival interest in your church this season?” No,” said Dr. Calvin, rather stiffy; “we don’t believe much in a religion of chills and fever.” ANIMALS WITH HANDS. The Use of the Paws In Conveying Food to the Mouth. Kangaroos use their hands very readily to hold food in and to put it to their mouths. As their fore legs are so short that they have to browse in a stooping position, they seem pleased when able to secure a large bunch of cabbage or other vegetable provender and to hold it in their hands to eat. Sometimes the young kangaroo, looking out of the pouch, catches one or two of the leaves which the old one drops; and the pair may be seen each nibbling at the salad held in their hands, one, so to speak, “one door” above the other. In “Alice In Wonderland” the lizard is always making notes on a slate and then trying to rub them out again with his fingers. Many lizards’ feet are so like hands that it is rather surprising that they are only used for running and climbing. But that is the main purpose to which lizards apply them. The slow, deliberate clasping and unclasping of a chameleon’s feet look like the movements which the hands of a sleepwalker might make were he trying to creep down the banisters. The chameleon’s are almost deformed hands, yet they have a certain superficial resemblance to the feet of the parrots, which more than other birds use the foot for many of the purposes of a hand when feeding. To see many of the smaller rodents—ground squirrels, prairie dogs and marmots—hold their food, usually in both paws, is to learn a lesson in the dexterous use of hands without thumbs. Itats and mice do not, as a rule, “clinch” what they hold, but merely support it in their paws, the movements being much less human than they appear. Nothing more readily suggests the momentary impression that a pretty little monkey is remotely “a man and a brother” than when he stretches out his neat little palm, fingers and thumb, and with all the movements proper to the civilized mode of greeting insists on shaking hands. But no one feels in the least inclined to grasp the clawed digits of any of the rodents which use their paws to hold food. They are only “holders,” not hands—London Spectator. SECRETS OF SUCCESS. When overmellow men most of them with riches so suddenly acquired that they hadn't time to stop and figure out how much they possessed, tried to outvie another in the capers they cut with the Lady Fortune. "One night in the late fifties' Lucky,' as he was then called, walked into the famous old Alcatraz club on Kearney street in San Francisco after having been religiously shunning his bed for about three days and nights running—and in that shape 'Lucky' was, in those days, ready for anything. "A famous dealer in the Alcatraz club—the biggest gambling establishment on the coast at the time—was 'Baldy' Monson, so called because his poll was bare of hair as a pat of butter, except for a tiny patch that remained right on the crown of his head. It had been a cowlick, and, with consistent stubbornness, it had refused to go when the rest of 'Baldy's' hair had departed. "Baldy' Monson was acting as lookout for the far game, preparatory to taking hold of the box himself, and drawing Monson's head down 'Lucky' began to count the hairs that the dealer had left on the top of his head. "How many have you got left? Baldwin asked of Monson. "Eighteen of 'em an inch or more long, the last time they were counted, soberly replied 'Baldy.' There may be some trifling short ones besides in the turt, but they don't figure." "Eighteen, eh?' said 'Lucky.' Well, it's just foolishness to be packing around only eleven hairs. Turn me the king, open, for $18,000, and if I win your eighteen hairs go with the pot—how's that? "Baldy' glanced inquiringly at the proprietor of the club, who was standing by, and his employer gave him the nod. Monson took the dealers chair and began the deal. The king won down near the middle of the box, and the proprietor of the club scrawled a check for $18,000 on the Bank of California and handed it over to Baldwin. "Lucky' snipped the eighteen hairs off 'Baldy' Monson's head with the razor edged blade of his pocketknife had the housekeeper at his hotel tie them up in tiny pink ribbon, with a double bow to set them off, and exhibited the tuft in the window of the Bella Union, labeled 'Baldy Monson's Scalp.'"—Washington Post. The Elephant Corps. An English newspaper, in an article on the Siamese army, says: "In one respect the Siamese army is superior to every other, and that is in its elephant corps. Eight hundred of these animals which are stronger, though smaller than those of India, are organized into a special corps, commanded by a retired Anglo-Indian officer, and their heads, trunks and other vulnerable parts are protected against bullets by india rubber armor." A Costly Disb. "Oh, mamma, do Christians preachers just like the cannibals deli?" "Why, no, my child. What put this notion into your head?" "I heard Mrs. Deekon say this morning that she was going to have her minister for lunch."—Brooklyn Life. Issao Story, Aya., Mo., writes, Sept. 10, 1900.

"It's the daintiest and most beautiful fan I ever saw." "I'm glad you like it," he returned with evident gratification. "How could I help liking anything so pretty?" she asked, and then she added with a sigh. "I only wish I could carry it some time." "Why can't you?" he demanded. "No gown to go with it," she answered promptly. "There ought to be a gown to match or at least one that wouldn't look shabby beside it if!" She got the gown.

When the great Napoleon died there were doubtless among the readers of the London Globe many persons who would have liked to read a full account of his life, but, if so, they were disappointed, for the Globe in its issue of July 4, 1821, contained only the following brief notice: "Death of Bonaparte. We announce the death of Bonaparte. The official announcement was received this morning at the admiralty. His death took place on June 6. His health had been declining for a long time, and the cause of death was a cancer in the stomach. He was born in 1769. The cost of his maintenance at St Helena was each year between £200,000 and £300,000." The Whole Story in one letter about Pain-Killer (PERRY DAVIS') From Capt. F.

Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. From this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprecedented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer on curative means having an unparalleled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription could possibly "win out" as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. This wonderful remedy, therefore, stands absolutely alone as the only one possessed of such unrivaled curative properties as fully warrant its makers in publishing the remarkable offer above made in the utmost good faith. $3,000 FORFEIT will also be paid in lawful money of the United States, by the officers of the World's Dispensary Medical Association, if they cannot show the original signature of each individual volunteering the testimonials below, and also of the writers of every testimonial among the thousands which they are constantly publishing, thus proving their genuineness and the superiority of these medicines. WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Proprietors, BUFFALO, N.Y. Miss ROHRBACK, who lives at No. 73 Amsterdam Ave., New York City, and is Treasurer of the Woman's Progressive Union, wrote the following story of her experience: I am satisfied that half the doctors do not know what really ails their patients, while you have carefully studied the needs of the sick and worn-out, and have skilfully prepared a reliable remedy which will cure in a short time. Two years ago I began to feel "run-down," the extreme heat of the summer nearly prostrated me, and when fall came I was ill prepared to take up anew the burdens of life. I had headache, backache, and was very nervous; scarcely able to sleep more than two hours at a time. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and was delighted with the result. Within a week I was sleeping splendidly. Continued using the 'Favorite Prescription' for eight weeks, and then stopped, for I was perfectly well. Ever since then your medicine has been my 'Favorite Prescription,' too. I recommend it to every one. Yours very truly, Miss May Rohrbach Miss CARRIE SPRECHER, of Mount Morris, Ill., writes Dr. R. V. Pierce, as follows: "I was back in my old home when your letter came. I will try and explain regarding the good I received from your medicines. For over one year I suffered from my physician pronounced womb trouble. Had doctored with doctors in the East and also in the West but found only temporary relief." The next time of my sickness I found myself no better, and in that way it kept going on from time to time until I became discouraged. I finally resolved to write you for advice. I purchased two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, two vials of his 'Pleasant Pellets,' and by using only that small quantity I have found wonderful relief. I say to all who are suffering from troubles similar to mine that it is unnecessary to be sick when one can use Dr. Pierce's remedies."

"Uncle said the scientific youth, don't you know that you ought to save your drinking water boiled, so as kill the microbes?" "Well," answered the old gentleman thoughtfully. "I believe I would as lief be an aquarium as a cemetery." Wonderful Nerve Is displayed by many a man enduring strains of accidental cuts, wounds, burns, bruises, scalds, sore feet or stiff joints but there's no need for it. Bucklen's Arnica Salve will kill the pain and cure the trouble. It's the best salve on earth for piles, too. 25c at Hutchinson's drugstore. Some boys were asked what they knew about the Pharisees. "They are a mean lot, sir," said one boy. "Why do you say so?" "Because some of them brought a penny to Christ once, and he took it in his hand, looked at it and said: 'Whose subscription is this?'—Exchange. Saved from Terrible Death The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt of Largerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most killer physicians and every remedy failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In his terrible hour Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption turned despair into joy. The first bottle brought immediate relief and its continued use completely cured her. It's the most certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles 100 and $1. Trial bottles free at W. 13 Hutchinson's drugstore. Animals That Are Bad Sailork A French scientist has made interesting observations as to the love of different wild animals for the sea. The polar bear, he says, is the only one that takes to the sea and is quite jolly when aboard ship. All others violently resent a trip on water and vociferously give vent to their feelings until seasickness brings silence. The tiger suffers most of all. The mere sight of a ship makes him uncomfortable, and when on board he whines pitifully, his eyes water continually, and he rubs his stomach with his terrific CARRIE SPRECHER, of Mount Morris, Ill., writes Dr. R.

The mere sight of a ship makes him uncomfortable, and when on board he whines pitifully, his eyes water continually, and he rubs his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are bad sailors and often perish on a sea voyage. Oxen are heroes in their attempts not to give way to sickness. Elephants do not like the sea, but are amenable to medical treatment. A good remedy in their case is a bucketful of hot water containing three and a half pints of whisky and seven ounces of quinine. Name Famine In Denmark. The Copenhagen correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt sent his paper an interesting article on the "name famine" in Denmark. In no nation, he says, is the choice of the family name so limited. It very often happens that four persons unknown to each other sit down to a game of whistle and later present themselves respectively as Hansen. He proves this statement by quoting Dr. Krak, the compiler and publisher of the Copenhagea Wegweiser, the largest Danish street directory. According to Dr. Krak, out of a population of 300,000 in the Danish capital 42 per cent end their names with "sen." Some 50,000 are named Hansen, which is used by the largest number of persons.
