strongly attracted by games, competi-

nin might feel an interest in veg-
etable gardening I will give
them.a few facts as to the pro-
duction of celery,cauliflower, cab-
bage, tomatoes, etc. Celery is
mostly raised in Orange County,
south-east of and adjoining Los
Angeles County. The acreage
in this crop this year amounted
to about 2500 acres. It is said
that the largest celery field in
the world is in tha4 county. The
tonage was about 1500 cars of
about fifteen tons each. Each
c ir carries about 12000 bunches
ot celery, and the prices realized
were from twenty to forty cents
a dozen heads. The greater part
of it is shipped to the Eastern
markets. There are about 200
growers engaged in the business,
>'r - »
and a thousand persons perhaps
find employment in the industry.
While Orange County claims
the credit of the large celery in-
dustry, the country immediately
around Los Angeles claims most
ot the cauliflower crop, where it
is really raised. The supply of
this vegetable for the last season
amounted to 300 car-loads of fif-
teen tons each. It sold for 25 to
40 cents per .dozen. The last
season was not regarded as an
entirely successful one, as the

“The O’lympic runners have done

Youth's Living Expenses on a Rather
Extravagant Scale.
David Belasco, the great manager
and playwright, complained bitterly the
other day of a man who had duped
him—-a man who, pretending to be a
millionaire, had promised to invest
1250,000 in the erection of a "model”
theater.
“He took me in,” Mr. Belasco frank-
ly admitted. ‘ "I have, I suppose, too
sanguine a nature. I expect, I sup-

It was while Irving was rehearsing
"Becket" that he told a story 'of Ten-,
nyson that has both pathetic and hu-
morous significance. Iu the earlier
days, when "The Cup” was in prepar-
ation, he had been to see Tennuyson
in the Isle of -Wight to discuss his
ideas for its presentation. After din-
ner the dessert and sine were set
out upon a separate table and when
they were seated the poet asked Irv-
ing if he Mould like a glass of port. •
■"Yes. I like a gla.-s pf port,” replied
the actor.
Upon which Tennyson, .taking him
at his fcord, poured him out a glass
of port and, al) unconsciously, fin-
ished t-he remainder of the bottle him-
self.
, Next morning the actor had to leave
andehad therefore taken leave of his
host overnight. 7ur he had scarcely
awakened when he saw Lord Tenny-
son sitting at the foot of his bed.
"Hou- are you this morning?” he
inquired, anxiously.
"Very well, indeed,” was the guest’s
reply.
"Are you?” came, the response, with
just a tinge -of doubt in the tones
of the voice •"You drank a lot of port

That was Tennyson's way

The frost last week did much
. . - * -. .
injury to gardens and growing
crops generally. Though very
little vegetation was killed,every-
thing was sturited. Torn has
made very little growth for two
weeks. It is claimed that the
sand storms did more damage to
■ a'-- i ■ ■* *
corn and oats than the frost.,,
Mr. Lane savs in one field on his
farm the corn 'was blown out of
the ground, and had td be re-
planted. A light rain yesterday [
made corn and oats look mucir
better. The cool weather check-
ed cotton planting and it is not
all planted yet. Some fields that
were planted have come up very
well. Mr. Luton reports corn,
wheat and oats growing fine on
black land. I think next week I
can make a report on the oil
prospects. Expecting a decision
from the company today. Some
of the leases have expired.
Last Sunday the children and
grandchildren of Mrs. C. £.
Nelms gave her a surprise in
honor ot her 71st birthday. Only
those living near were present.
I have not had a report from
there but Lknow it was a pleas-
f ant occasion and very cheering
to the good old grandmother.
OkLpeOple have not long to stay

friends ought to make a pleasant sharp competition from ship-
day for them occasionally.
The saddest thing I have seen ; js said to be the first season that

men were about to ^get mixed uo

little crookedness has been going
on around here for some time.

Idleness will bring on mischief
and there have .always been too
many loafers about this town.
It is said the devil temots every
other man, but the lazy man
v tempts the devil. If this is so
the old fellow has been having
some heavy temptations around
here.
Today is cold, dark and dreary
and very discouraging, to our
garden. It is doing its best to
grow, but only cabbage is mak-
ing much success. ,7

“See this?" he said to the waiter.
“Yes sir.”

I am npt informed what it
amounts to.
The eafly potatoes are a source
of considerable revenue to the
farmers and gardeners ot this
section. Thev usually ship about
800 car-loads of fifteen tons each

a source ot considerable revenue.
They will grow here all winter,
so that they can be shipped to
the Eastern markets before the
potatoes from any section of the
country come in. The above

Eastern markets is here in South-

Vegetable Union alone ships
about 4000 car-loads of the va-

load. I am not informed as to
