On account of Christmas coming
this year on Thiusiiay The Chronicle
will be issued on Wednesday next
wee'>;. All advertisements must be iu
the* ohf not later than nine o'clock
Wednesuay morning in order to in-.
bu*c insertion in the issno of that
week.
The crop of newspapers iii.it tell tin
farmer ' hov-te-. n-his-iavm" is going
to break the record next year, judging
thoin the mm her ; iaf are already
beginning to "te'l." From the quantity
of ad vie 3 given from year t> year,
leads one to :h?* conclusion that most
of the editois have i .issed their c alling.
The Chronicle is glad to see thai
organized labor has taken up the
fight against the establish::' 3:11 c; ;
chair factory Ly he State, the chair 1
to be made by convicts. We f?o.:c t
see tliis proposition turned ch/.vn by \
the coming legislature. We would ,
also be pleased to see the State farm ]
abolished and the convicts all put to
building roads, it is a crime against 1
honest labor to put it in competition
with convict labor in any shape or J
form.
HOW TO AVOID (OLD WEATHER !
DISEASES
To prevent cold weather diseases,
put your body into a proper healthy
condition to successfully resist them.
Colds, grippe, bronchitis, pneumonia,
chtarrh, typhoid fever, rheumatism
and other ailments may be escaped in
most cases, if this is done. Build up
bryi health and- ?sfcength?your
nerves and blood and entire body?
into such shape that you can count
on good health all during the winter
months?by taking Rexall Olive Oil
Emulsion, the ideal blood nerve and
body builder.
This is a remarkable medicine, but
a common-sense one. It doesn't
stimulate. So-called "tonics" that
stimulate give you no permanent relief;
but leave you worse off than before.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion contains
none of these harmful, stimulating
ingredients, such as alcohol and
dangerous and habit-forming drugs.
Ttc trroat hpnptit to votl is through itS .
real nerve and body-bui!ding effects.
It nourishes, builds, strengthens. Itsi,
merit does not rest on making you j i
, feel better for a few minutes at a
time after taking it, but on making <
you feel better as a result of matting
you well. I
Rexall Olive Oil Kmulsion is the |
ideal blood and nerve-food tonic. You I
who a> e weak and run-down, and you !i
| 1
who are apparently well now, but are .
liable to suffer from various cold ;
weather ailments, ire Rexall OH e \

Beyond His Understanding.
The Englishman was attending his
first ball game. He seemed very
uneasy after the fifth inning and
finally said to his American friend: ;
"I say, old chap, when do they serve i
the tea?" "They don't serve tea at (
a ball game," laughed the American. .
"No tea between innings?" gasped the I
Englishman. "Then what's the ob- j
Ject of the blooming game?"

| ROMANCE OF WING LEE J
By^MARTH A^LP^ELL-^J| j
Wing crossed the border in a refrigerator
car and happily had es- j
caped with nether
' ing worse than i
frost bitten toes.1

j fV I revisit the tomb of

mental ecstasy,
\ ^ /! o however, was
i /rtSi 1 made before meet^
* inS the "Melican
i /jn-rf That day of
/I I I ( memories Wing
I ' I i drove a satisfactory
oargain, filching a shirt without
notico being taken thereof. Carrying
his empty basket down the street he
figured the gain and was content, and
that 6ame instant ho caught the first
glimpse of his destiny.
She was standing behind the plate
glass of a department store. A robe
of azure gauze, price marked $8.95,
Bwatbed her slender form and a polo
hat of violets sat well forward above
her golden "Marcel." Her cheeks
mantled with the blush of maidenhood
were luscious as ripe pomegranates
and her round eyes, which in color
matched the $8.95, grew lashee as long
as a painter's brush.
Wing saw and was conquered. Trailing
his basket he approached the window,
admiration expanding his features
into a grin. Fixed as the pagodas
of Nankin he stood before this
daughter of the gods and drank his fill
of her loveliness.
Late that evening he returned to his
laundry. Next afternoon he feigned
3lcknees and hurried off to State
street, where his idol awaited him.
A week of such devotion and Wing
summed up Ms cash on hand?eight,
nine, ten dollars and 40 cents. He
dressed himself in Sunday clothes,
rolled his pigtail into a tight knot and
3et out for the department store,
where she was enslaved.
"How mpchee you want your Mellcan
gal?" he asked the floorwalker,
moet politely. Strange to say it took
some minutes to convince the addressed
that an insult was not implied.
Questions followed at length.
Did Wing wish the figure alone, or in
costume, as exhibited. To be sure he
wished her clothes and all. Alas, when
the price was named, including dress,
bat and girl, in toto, Wing's countenance
fell. He shook his head and departed
with the visage of a stoic.
Behind the ironing board came more
calculations and Wing began to work j
overtime.
Months passed. The adored one
changed her diaphanous voile for a
smart Sreen tailor-made and the
violet polo for a velvet toque. Later
In the season she wore a fur cape
around her shapely shoulders.
The new year had been ushered in J
before Wing again appeared in the j
role of suitor. The savings of six j
months were with him. A. new invcn- j
torv was made, the price had increased |
with the season. Wins deliberated, j
He.was "veliy solly," but the "Melican '
gal" would have to do without her lux- >
urious cape.
The money being paid, the now
master undaunted by jeers of the populace
and occasional apple cores, i
shouldered his blou 1c beauty and boro
her home.
Or.ce within the laundry precincts, !
Wing placed :iie beauty on a wash tul>!
and arranged her gown U: correct j
folds. It took niid a full half hour be- ;
fore he was satisfied with the result, j
Then he lighted some joss sticks and !
placed them so that site should be en- !
veloped in the perfumed smoke. Ho J
next offered her a plate of rice and
sooy, but the tilted nose refused to |
sniff its appetizing aroma.
Alas, that the lates snouia De so |
cruel to lovers. A sharp ring at the
telephone interrupted this amorous
soliloquy. To Wing's reluctant response
an irate customer demanded
his washing and threatened the law.
Wing shouldered a heavy basket and
stole out into the night.
An hour passed. The Melican gal
still crowns the wash tub with statuesque
grace. Then a visiting rat
spreads the tale that the beauty is becoming
animate. True it certainly is
that the smiling rosy mouth has begun
to pout. An ugly wrinkle, too, has
appeared above the Bmooth brow and
as the moments pass the tapering -fingers
stretch and grow weirdly long.

DISCRETION.
There is no talent so useful toward
rising in the world or which
puts men more out of the reach of
ill fortune th-ui the quality generally
possessed by the dullest sort of men
and in common speech called discretion?a
species of lower prudence
by the assistance of which people of
the meanest intellects, w:thout any
other qualification, pass th ough the
world in great tranquillity and with
universal good treatment, neither j
giving nor talcing offense.

Little Profit in These Mines.
Some forty year3 ago considerable
copper was mined and shipped out of
San Fernando in the southern part of
Lower California, but since then not
much has been done with this metal.
The principal difficulties in the way of
the profitable mining of copper are
fuel and transportation facilities. Iron
deposits have been found at several
places, the principal one being at San <
Isidro. but no actly# work has ever J
been done. <
