a resident of the VENTURA COUNTY VENTURA VENTURA, March Correspondence.) The Lima Bean association of this county Is trying hard to solve the problem of low prices that have prevailed under the contracted currency regime of the nation, making money dear and scarce. A number of the association are of the opinion that It is over-production, and have secured promise of a decrease of £5 per cent from last year's acreage, which, they think, will Insure fair prioes. The Venturlan, a local paper, says: "There are at least 900 oarloads of old beans still on hand, aid If the proposed tariff of 1 cent a ptasd is put on beans, the Canadian supply will be shut ous, and a good market will be assured for small white beans. As we are increasing in population rapidly, overproduction of lima beans, which can only be raised in favored localities, is impossible. Give us the Nicaragua canal and abundant money and the bean question will be solved.

Stan AFTR many days. "I've brtht your tea." It wai tl voice of the dragoon that roused me siesta as he stood by my deck oha teacup in hand, as wholesome a specii of young England (5 feet 11 In flannels you would meet any day between Port id and the gulf of Adon. His face shon that he was brimming over with a ruvr of weighty importance, so I gathered ndf together and prepared to listen and thcroon, for, being an old stager, I wa.ged to the confidences of subalterns. "Fact is, I'Te, 3 hard hit," began the dragoon, sittlng.wn on the deck. Miss Stanton, i inquired sympathetically, for that yeig woman, on her way to marry a had worked havoc among the unaroprlated masculine hearts.

"Miss Stanton I a .1 mean the woman who sits next you one with the beautiful "My cabin Mrs. Trlnderl She is probably golti un to join bor husband. I added wariigly. "Oh, no; she's a viow. Hunt of the Fourth told me all out It.

And I proceeded to scribble aots to Hunt of the Fourth In oonslderatioof his uncle having known old Trlnder. Somehow that tea was not tjuooess, although the oook surpassed hliielf la tea cakes, and that subtle flavoi of stewed cockroaches that pervades all ship's tea was reduced to a minimum. Hunt of the Fourth oontrlbfed many anecdotes of bis uncle, who old Trinder, but Mrs, Trlnder wont not be drawn Into conversation. She nswered the dragoon's prattle with her eyes fixed on the misty horlso, where the mountain range of Sinai wi dimly visible. The sound of the dressing bell up the party, leaving the dragoon baled In his object, but more In love than evr.

Hs was one of those men who take tbt complaint seldom but badly, and Mrs Trader, with her sltm figure, big eyes, sweet and monosyllables, was In his eyes perfection of womanhood, And Mrs. Trtdcx was a lucky woman, for I had known-he dragoon Intimately for ten years and oo Id not have wished for a better husband nr- self. "You 11 come ashore?" said the dragon four days later as we steamed slowly harbor at Aden, and a shoal of dusky ufants surrounded the ship, chanting unison then- oboros of "have a while boatloads ot woolly headed venden of ostrich eggs, feathers and carved curia bom the Interior prepared to squeeze theli victims. I consented, for a coaling ship Is not a delectable place; but, lnspitoot all pervading dust, Mrs. Trlnder could not be persuaded to accompany us, and we left her surrounded by a swarm of native merchants, who, with unerring Instinct, marked her aa an easy prey.

The journey to the empty tanks was jolty and dusty as ever. Having inspected the few trees, we commenced our descent, and in so doing came across the worst tempered man. In the course of an eventful life It has boon my misfortune to forgather with many bad tempered mortals, but this one could give points to any two other men of my acquaintance and beat them, and that is saying a good deal, for there's nothing like a residence in the east for fraying out the edges of one's temper, even those of covenanted civilians. He was an ill favored, unwholesome looking individual, with puffy cheeks and watery eyes, betokening a too great affinity for the Insinuating peg. His carriage had come to grief on the road, and ho was standing among the debris apostrophising the driver and his female relations to the third generation In terms that caused my companion's Up to curl with disgust.

From one or two expressions borne after us upon the breeze wo learned with sorrow that he was to be a fellow passenger to Bombay. On our return to the ship a couple of hours later I found Mrs. Trinder sitting In her cabin among her purchases, wearing a very frightened expression. She was a timid little thing and about as fit to knock about the world alone as an unfledged canary, having evidently been kept In a bandbox nil her life. "They've put a madman next door," she began in a low voice.

"He's dreadfully violent. Listen!" A string of Hlndoostanee invectives, mingled with blows falling on some dull substance, and exclamations of Sahib I Sahib I reached our cars through the open grating that headed the partition walls of the two cabins, and I recognized the accents of the worst tempered man. "It's only temper," I said reassuringly. "You'll get used to that sort of thing. He's beating his servant, but you may be suro the 'boy' is well paid or he wouldn't stand It If the man swears too loudly, I'll speak to the captain." "Beating his servant I How dreadful I Let us go up on deck." Outside we came upon the white robed "boy" rubbing his shoulders, with a smile of satisfaction on his face.

"Sticks?" I inquired sympathetically. Tho "boy" grinned. "Sahib make plenty bobbery," he replied. That night, leaning over the prow of the vessel, watching the glimmering, fantostio lights in tho phosphorescent waters, Mrs. Trlnder waxed confidential, and I learned tho reason of her journey.

She was unused to traveling, having never been 60 miles from her home before. Ten years ago she had loved and been loved, but the loved one was ineligible, and her parents, fully alive to the advantage of wool, had pertnadedher teaanj, old Trlnder.

They had always been faithful, though they had not would have been she had frequent news ot him from a mutual friend.

That he still oared for her seemed certain, for he had never married, although he had attained a good position. There was something touching in her simplicity, and I felt a greater interest than heretofore In the little woman and a degree of respect in her childlike fidelity. "You have written to say you are coming?" I Inquired. "Oh, nol I oould not do that It would seem like asking him to marry me. But I kaow he is In Bombay.

I shall see him, and She broke off with a happy smile; then, after a smile, eontlnuedi "You must have thought me stupid and unsociable, but every moment of the day I am thinking about our meeting and looking forward to It. If the days would only pass are so terribly long." Later In the evening I reported our conversation to the dragoon, and he ieok It distinctly bad, for the little woman exercised strange fascination over him. The worst tempered man was a source of much annoyance to the passengers generally, and especially to my companion, who Hod from his presence. His language, too, was not always to Hlndoostaneo, and although one oouid not help admiring the breadth of his vocabulary, I felt It my bounden duty to report him to the captain, who removed him to the port side of the ship, which oaussd further deterioration In bis temper. One morning we were awakened with the glad tidings that Bombay was In sight It toek Mrs.

She Makes the Complaint That Thousands Long Have Bleeping Toilet Room Is Responsible For MnoJk In the Way of Soured Dispositions.

The worm has turned at hurt. One who was nursed but not crushed by a sleeping car Journey from California to New York has found her voice and spoken. There Is plenty to be spoken about. Ask any woman of your acquaintance what she thinks of sleeping cars In general and of the woman's end of a sleeping oar In particular, and you will be able to give your vocal organs a protracted rest while she tells you. That Is what the reporter did.

"Do I like torldoln a sleeping oar?" repeated a woman from Chicago who Is doing a week's shopping In New York. "Do I like to ride in a sleeping oar?" this time with the accent on the "do. "That was whot I asked," the murmured apologetically. "Oh, well, then, what's the use? I'll Just get all wrought up, and It won't ds any good." "Couldn't you tell me without getting wrought up?" suggested the reporter. "No, I oan'tl Why, for years we women have been ground under the Iron heel of the oppressor, and you expect me to tell you about it calmly and Joyously, as if I likod It Maybe I oould becalm if I hadnt Just been through the mill, so to speak, and If I didn't have tho prospect of going through It again day after tomorrow." "But what Is the matter anyway?" "You ought to got married," said ths Unlcngo woman lrreievnuny.

"Why?" "You'd know so much mora than yon do now. You'd know, for instance, that when a woman baa been talking the way I have you don't want to turn around nnd gay, 'But the Matter! Why don't the make out a list of some of the rights that women really wnnt? 'Give us the ballot I Who cares about tho ballot? Give us basins! That's what we want. Washbasins and room to comb our hair and the right to kill tho woman who gets Into tho toilet room at 0 a m. and keeps the door locked on bet suffering and unwashed sisters until the train Is within five minutes of its destination. "Wrought up, did I say? Come here!" And tho Chicago woman cornered the reporter on a sofa.

"What right have you men to a large and dry apartment at end of the car, washbasins galore, an 11---limltabls expanse of mirror and the right of entry without breaking the door inf What right have you, I say, to all that when we women have a 8 by 8 box at the other end of the car, with one washbasin, no elbow room In which to brush our hair and somebody else already in there, with tho door locked behind them. Some of the toilet rooms do not have this latter objection. The builders have evidently beard rumors of sclilsh women who take their time to their morning toilet, protected by bolts and bars They have said in tholr Idiotic brains: 'We'll fix "And they have 'fixed' it by removing ho floor altogether. They have substituted iherefor a ourtaln which sways with overy notion of the train, is brushed aside by ivery passerby and which Is ust saturated vlth the 'I beg your pardon' of people, men and women, black nnd white, who tre continually lifting it up to sco what Is jehlnd it and are embarrassed whon they Ind out" Tho Chicago woman paused for breath, rhen she began again. "The first thing I do and the first thing ilmost every woman does when she gets into a sleeper for an ovorntght journey is to count the number of women and children in tho oar, for, of course, the children are booked for the women's toilet box In the morning.

I shall never forget," and there was a dreamy smile on the woman's face, "an overland journey I once made from Chicago to San Francisco. It was at the time of the California boom, and quantities of men were going west Well, from Ogden clear through to San Francisco I was the only woman In the car. Think of thatl Why, at night I'd wrap the drapery of my berth around me, and I couldn't bear to go to sleep, It go nice to lie there and think of what a good time I would have In the morning. I could get up whenever I pleased. Not a soul to lock the door on me and my handbag when I got ready to make my toilet "Do you know," said the Chicago woman earnestly, "what is one of the saddest spectacles in traveling? It Is a woman who has got herself together In a makeshift fashion In hen berth, and then, bag In hand, has run the gantlet of the easly risers only to find the toilet room closed against her.
