Calling the wandering children, Cooking the evening meal. This Is the working; machine That we seem to think doesn't feel. What Is It we call her? There never will be another To take her place in our busy lives, We call her simply Oh! the love that Is wasted, Until she has gone to rest, We never know her value I'ntll she Is with the blest.

J. W. MY DOO BLANCO. My dear, dumb friend, low lying there, A willing vassal at my feet, Qlad partner of my home and fare, My shadow In the street. I look Into your great brown eyes.

Where love and loyal homage shine. And wonder where the difference lies Between your soul and mine! I scan the whole broad earth around For that one heart which, leal and true, Bears friendship without end or bound, And find the prize In you. Ah, Blanco! did I worship Ood As truly as you worship me, Or follow where my Master trod With your humility; Did I sit fondly at His feet As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine, And watch Him with a love as sweet, My life would grow divine! J. H. Holland.

THE LITTLE COAT. Here's his ragged "roundabout;" Turn the pockets Inside out; See: his penknife, lost to use, Rusted shut with apple Juice; Here, with marbles, top and string. Is his deadly "devll-sling," With Its rubber limp at last As the sparrows of the past! Heeswax buckles leather straps liolk'ts, and a box of caps Not a thing at all, I guess, Hut betrayB some waywardness E'en these tickets, blue and red, For the Bible verses said-Such as this his memory kept "Jesus wept." Here's a fishing hook and line, Tangled, up with wire and twine. And dead angle worms, and some Slugs of leather and chewing gum. Here's some powder In a quill, Corked up with a liver pill; And a spongy little chunk Of pnuk! Here's the little coat, but Where is he we've censured so? Don't you hear us calling, dear? Hack! come back, and never fear You may wander where you will, Over orchard, field and hill; You may kill the birds, or do Anything that pleases you; Ah, this empty coat of his! Every tatter worth a kiss; Every as pure Instead As the white stars overhead; And, the pockets homes were they Of the little hands that play Now no more but.

The Fourth Estate has frequently called the attention of country news- pnpur editors to the fact that those of them who perBlst In printing free reading notices about persons anil events, that rightly belong in the advertising columns, are taking a course which 1b altogether likely to start them on the road to the poor house. There is absolutely no excuse for Buch lack of business foresight. While It Is undeniably true that the most successful and prosperous of the country weeklies devote a very large proportion of their available spare to matters of a personal nature, it Is a great error to allow business notices to lie worked in under this beading. If an advertising notice is wonh having, it is worth paying for. and If the publisher has a proper amount of backbone he will do business on that baslB or not at all.

A curious exainplo of what some country newspapers consider news is the following "personal" printed In a New England paper: "Mrs. John Blank has gone to Boston for a few weeks. During her absence she will receive medical treatment for a tumor, and will also select her spring and summer stock of milllu-ery." This II wtiTklng the free nl graft for all there Is In It. Now Mrs. Blank knew very well that the announcement of her trip to Ikwton for tho purpose of buying goods would lie looked tion by the publishers of the paper as an advertisement, so she worked In her tumor and carried the day.

And yet some newspaper publishers wonder why Ihey are not Publishers' (lulile. The facts In the above article are about what we have licen trying to Impress on the minds of newsimner failures, but they will not have It. They prefer being In debt. Flattery Ib of more value to them than Independence and a paying business. They do not know that they are being used by people smarter than themselves.

This Is the great day of our country and everybody should celebrate It In a becoming and patriotic manner. ADELBERT 8. MAY. Adelbert 8. Hay was the brilliant son of a- most distinguished father, the father who was in Santa Cms when Preaidcut McKlnley waa expected to be present, who had added fame to the McKinley administration, who rank among the Arab who have filled the position of Secretary of State from tne oaya of Washington to those of Blaine, and who by his ability and grace has added a charm, greatness and purity to our public life and its best Ideals.

The sun at a critical moment was aent to South Africa, and by bis splendid and moral force won the confidence of Boer aud Britain by acting as the un. biased intermediary between the con nicung parties dealing out Justice with wisdom and, therefore, with Impartial hand. Both side considered It a compliment to have the son of our great Secretary of State the rep. resenttttlve of thla country In the most trying times of the Boer War. Most notably did young Hay acquit nimseir.

and come home with the plaudits of contending forces and the proud huzzas of bis own, land. It Is because of this he once standing for the United Suites In a foreign land-that makes him a national character In a sense and causes the special general sorrow over his untimely taking off. He fell In the fullness of promise and by an accident, which may be the portion of any one In some form or other. So the sympathy of the land goes out to the stricken parents. This will be heartfelt, for the simple reason that the public has lost one who would hare adorned our public life in Its highest place.

The incident calls to mind the Budrien deatn- of Blaine's great son, Emmons, which broke the heart of his father, in mat no flesh of bis flesh was left tojxwslbly fill his place. A Denver scientist connected with the Unlversltyof Kansas alleges that he has discovered a solution of the vexatious negro problem. He Bays he now is ready to do what the Fifteenth Amendment has failed to do In the South. He Is golug to turn all the negroes white. Quite a project this, and one deserving consideration.

Wttfi a hypodermic syringe the Western man will go about the country making white men out of negroes by the simple method of giving them subcutaneous Injections of the germs of leucltls. which will turn the blacks into Albinos. We can not remember a year when the Captola Hotel presented more features of invitation to those seeking rest, comfort and pleasure on the Immediate shores of the ever-heaving sea waves, than the present one. l.Ue '1 -tVJ UU'u i Beauty ih ripdf or mirn-il by the (Vlicn the (jUkxI it: tlx clutkd pittw Mlitj.v, till tvu dull, luiir ors 116 lus'tr. in thr bl'K'ft through tht vtins in a jut rid.

iiwii THE DAY WB CELEBRATE. All patriotic Americans celebrate the Fourth of July, the birthday, in 1776, of their national Independence. We can not have too much of this, especially if we clearly understand what we are burning gunpowder lor and mak Ing all the racket about, the Intelligent American has long since got over the crude notion that the essential facts or me iieroiution circled around a stamp act or tea tax. It was not absolute tyranny we fought or downright oppression. It was a contention for a principle, and that was the liberty of the Individual, constitutional government, the limitation of executive or kingly power, local home rule and no taxation without representation.

The very light we made here England's best statesmen were making at home against Old Sarum and "rotten bor oughs" getutrally. The asserted oppression of England was trivial, but her Ignoring a true political principle and endeavoring to uphold the "Divine right of kings" In the stupid and bigoted mojirft3j wa8 quite another thing, tftf' worU)V the in mis HjFi juiy KoUrth Is the na tional djtf for wh0)e ErjglBn. jeaktflg race Tbe rogu)t of our Kev iitioo Is, that never since the days of George HI. has an English sovereign dared to interfere in the formation of a Cublnet or tried to Influence English legislation by his own will. The American, Revolution made the House of Commons, direct from the people without "rotten boroughs," the real ruler of England.

It taught England the true principle of colonial government till all her provinces could proudly sing at the Queen's jubilee Daughter In my mother's house, Mistress in my own. Our Fourth of July Is not a local, but a world-wide manifesto of free govern-numt and home rule. The Declaration of Independence still rings out clear and defiant opposition to centralized kingly authority. It has left lt impress wherever the English tongue Is spoken. School boys In Aus-tralla and Canada read it In their histories; it Is cheered under the shadows of Wostmlnster Hall, and the Btralns of the Marseillaise mingle with Its sonorous periods by the very tombs of Imperial dust, lusjilrlug the shouts of the multitude.

The tlmo lias come, then, when our Fourth should not be made the occasion to revive ancient animosities little understood, and which should cease to be considered encrusted prejudices, but rather the occasion to celebrate the triumph of law. Justice and constitutional free government as understood by the English-speaking race wherever the Star and Stripes float or the Union Jack sails. Our Fourth of July Is no longer an Isolation, but an expansion. It represents the power of federation founded upon human liberty and right of home rule. The boom of our cannon and flare of our rockets are not all self glory so much as a message to the world.

A century and a quarter has passed since the minute nien of Concord and Lexington fired the shot heard round the world, and) today we see the principle fought for extended into the heart of Asia and the Isles of distant seas. Now that we sit down and reason we find that Pitt, Chatham, Hurke and Fox fought for the same thing as Adams, Franklin and Washington. Both won and the Fourth of July is as universal as the English tongue. The time Is at hand when the destinies of this world de pend not on old feuds and false preju dices, but In that universal desire for self-government which, so far as the English-speaking races are concerned, will find Its expression in the well-known maxim "Wood is thicker than The next fiscal year will be the most glowing era in the history of Amerl can agriculture. In a few months' time foreign nations may form a commercial combination against the United States, and the United States may treat It as largely a JeBt.

By the end of the fiscal year tho United Slates with its now possessions will raise and produce everything that It uses. Professor Barrett Wendell, a fine flower of the Harvard faculty, Ib In Berkeley to teach English In the University Summer School. Ho told the young ladles of his class Tuesday that their conKwitions wero mostly "slops," or were afflicted with what he described as "the big word The smallpox "epidemic" In San Jose and Los Cutos Is pretty nearly played out. It never did amount to much, anyway. It does not take much to scare some ptwple almost to death.

They are afraid of their own shadows when the Bun is down. Rev. Dr. Ravage of New York can't see why an oniiiHemeiit which Is deem ed innocent on a week day should be wicked on Sunday. If this means fishing a greut many Soquel and San 1orenzo Valley people will get In on the ground floor.

The fact that a son of the late Senator Stephen M. White earned the flrBt prize for oratory at the recent commencement exercises at St. Vincent's College, Ijb Augelos, Is another piece of evidence in favor of the theory of heredity. The Assessor of San Francisco baa completed his tax roll for the year showing an increase of over tho estimaies made In advance for the Board of Suiiervlsom and more than the assessment of laal year. Now the eight hour law of California has been declared unconstitutional by the Superior Court of Sun Francisco.

More water and less dust, is the cry of those who drive over our streets and suburban roads. THE FOURTH OF JULY. Some Facts In History Contrary to Popular Belief. In a remarkable book published some time since, the author holds that our great and revered Declaration of Indepndence Is not the unaided and Inspired work of the honored Jefferson. That the sonorous phrases that breathe of liberty and freedom are largely "borrowed material." And then the American patriot is Invited to compere the Act of Abjuration of 1M1, the Dutch Declaration of Independence, with the famous title-deed ot our liberties.

To quote from the celebrated manifesto of the Hollanders: "All mankind know tnat a prince Is appointed by Ood to cherish his subjects, even as a shepherd to guard his sheep. When, therefore, the prince does not fulfill his duty an protector, when he oppresses his subjects, destroys their ancient liberties, and treats them as slaves, he Is to be considered not a prince, but a tyrant. As such, the estates of the land may law fully depose him, and ele-IMytthtifln to a detailed of their ruler, as our fathers did. They were the first to ai'Kue that governments exist for nations, not nations for governments. It Is true that analogy Is undeniable, but are we not, as some reviewers say.

to discover It only In the similarity of circumstances and problem? Americans will not countenance the thought that Jefferson was a plaKlarist. We have no evidence, whatever, to show that he was at all famllar with the document famed In the Dutch history, Are we not to find the real foundation of our "Mtle deed" In the declarations from the Magna Charts to and during the period of the Commonwealth of New England? It Is a populftr Idea that the birth of our republic dates from the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The United States of America was born as a nation when the resolutions of Independence, with which we are all familiar, were passed, on July 2, 1776. The declaration simply promulgated the fact and assigned the reasons. It was intended as an appeal to the tribunal of the world as a Justification of what had already been done.

The reason that the Fourth Instead of the second Is celebrated, as the nation's birthday, lies In the fact that the "resolutions" were passed In private session, and were not generally known to the people until the resolutions and the declaration were publicly proclaimed together. It Is, however, the Immortal derla ration which has taken a vital hold on the American people, and the great Importance and decisive character of the resolutions have been almost en tirely obscured. We picture the signing of the Decla ration of Independence as a momentous occasion, and Imagine each member of the Congress affixing his name with great dignity to the Instrument on that fourth day of July In 1776. How different the facts! None but the President of the Congress, John Hancock and some add the Secretary, Charles Thomas, signed the original. Some historians Bay that not a name was affixed until It had ben engrossed upon parchment when all the delegates but two signed on the second day of August.

If there had been a previous signing of a written document, the rianuscrlDt Is not now In existence. aod the accepted historic opinion holds to the contrary. A new Idea has been brought for ward by some writers In regard to the ceremony of signing. The Idea that It was used later as a test of the prlnct pies of the new delegates It being pos slble that they were Tories in dls guise. On entering Congress they were required to sign the declaration, to prove their allegiance to the republic Of the signers It has been well said that the annals of the world can pre sent no political body, the lives of whose members, minutely traced, ex hlbit so much of the zeal of the patri ot, (dignified and chastened, by the virtues of the man.

When we note a hopeless contradlc Hon of testimony, not only among his torians, but also among "those pres ent," In reference to the signing of the declaration, we are prepared to find It hard to separate fact from fiction when we endeavor to discover how the news of Its adoption was received by the people, Alas, we are told by some antiquarians that the picturesque bell-ringer and the little boy, celebrated In song and story, are but creatures of the Imagination. That "King, grandpa, ring oh, ring for liberty," was not the dramatic signal which announced to the world the birth of fredoem. It is said that the session ctf Congress was secret, that an expectant crowd did not wait without, that It was not until the fifth of July that Congress sent out circulars announcing the adoption of the declaration, and that the Immortal document was not published In the Philadelphia papers until the sixth of the month. A few days later. It was read to the people by John Nixon In the yard of Independence Hall.

Col. Crafts had the same honor In Faneull Hull, Boston, and on the ninth of July Washington received It at his headquarters In New York, and hud It read to each brigade. We are asked to believe that It was after these various readings, that the enthusiasm of the people broke forth, and showed Itself In bonfires, huzzas and cannonading. But It is with reluctance that we surrender to the cold facts of history the romantic part which we have always believed belonged to the "Liberty Hell" on that first birthday of our nation.
