home, when 1 beard my name men
tioned by 'in agent us he directed
some one to the in use on the hill. It
was a telegram announcing the com
pletion of tlie business and informing
me that it would tut be ' ecessnry for
me to leave.
On this triiiing incident, hung my
fate, for when I returned I found that
the only one of the party Mho had not
fait equal to the long drive was—Miss
Grace.
t She saw me coming tip the hill, and
in her amazement as I afterward as
certained, thought I had purposely de
ceived her mother and brother.
I Oh, but her heart vn beating for
some one, and when she met me I
knew by her sweet eyes that all the
happiness of the days befov my dis
closure had conn hack m 1 heart.
I had her all to myself that after
noon. that glorious aft moon, the ra
diance of which has sent its light
along the pathway of my whole life.
X dare not teil you what occurred,
except to say that when the party
came back I bad my telegram to ex
plain my sudden return but no word
of explanation for the joy In my soul.
And now for the finale Yet it was
only a finale to the old hub's ambi
tion, and but the beginning of my
"long sweet story."
The Christmas dinner was on! I
could tell you ever, detail f It. 1
could tell you where Grace sat. and I
remember distinctly every lower in
her corsage. I see in mj mind's eye
every laughing face, every feature of
the table and of the rootn. \ye, I
remember even tiho dainty eouritry
maid, with her natty rook's cap fin
ing into the room with a steaming
fowl. You must boar in min i that
this was long ago, before the days of
the country house luxury which now
prevails.
I recall the arrival >1 the da ity
maid, for it was at that uiomeni that
Grace, contrary to all banquet for u
las, arose, and looked her mother
and brother full In the face, her in -s
aglow with the snirlt within, her f-ice
handsomer than ever in its framing
of American pluck, and tier st- ie> •
form like that of a queen.
"I want you all," she said, "to listen
to an American girl's Christmas deter
mination. Perhaps what 1 aui going
to say is not according to rule, but I
think it is according to right I, an
American girl, promise to Ix'couic tl.
wife only of an American citizen. I
promise that I will preside over no
American home or over none at all."
I cannot picture the consternation
of the mother. I am quite sure that
It completely spoiled her Christmas
dinner. The guests, who knew noth
ing of the mother's plans, applauded
the sentiment to the echo.

LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS.

In every well-regulated post-office of
large size there is a corps of "guoss

kept busy for the express purpose of
finding out where people live, wheu
addresses are carelessly or not fully

superscripton "To Santa Claus, 263
Goat Street." There is no Goat street
in New }ork, so the letter was stamp
ed "misdirected," as in the reproduc
tion above, and sent to Washington,
where, it was supposed. Goat Street
might be found. The clerks thought
that fuller directions might lie discov
ered inside, so they opened the envel
ope, and found the following letter:—

to bring me n hobby horse. I don't
want a hobby horse, really. A honest

told me not to ask for him, because I
probably would make yon very mad,
so you wouldn't give me anything at

any place to keep him. A man I
know will keep him, he says, if you
get him for me. I thought you might

THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA.
Forty Squaw Miles of Wheat,
What is said to be the largest
single wheat field in California is
now being planted to the grain that
makes the st iff of life. It covers
over 25,000 acres, or forty square
miles.
This enormous field of grain is
I located on the banks of the San
I Joaquin River, near the tow of Clo
i vis, in Madera county. The field
. is part in Fresno county and part
! in Madera county,
j Clovis Cole is the man who is
putting iti this vast acreage, and he
lias undertaken one of the largest
jobs that any man has yet done in
California.
While it is true that larger acre
ages of wheat have been planted by
certain ranchers in this State, there
seems to be no record of an exact
parallel to the present case. 011 the
Miller & Lux ranch, in Kern coitn
ty, 50,000 acres were planted one
I year, but the fields were scattered
. about in different places. They
I were really a series of fields, located
wherever there was a fertile spot.
Few of the fields were 2,000 acres,
and in many instances there would
be half a mile of bare land between
, them. The acreage planted could
not be called a wheat field of 50,-
000 acres any more than all the
wheat fields in the State could be
I classed under one head.
The Clovis field, however, is an
ideal wheat field. It is almost as
flat as a floor, with a gentle slope
toward the river. The outer lines
of the field make it almost a perfect
square. Each side is a little over
six miles, and if the day is clear
every part of the field can be seen
from any other part. It will he a
beautiful sight worth seeing when
all the grain is up and waves gently
in the breezes of springtime. There
are 110 roads through the Clovis
wheat field. It is to be one solid
stretch of grain, and every square
foot of land is to be utilized.
Ploughing and planting began in
the big wheat field about the mid
dle of last July and will hardly be
completed before the next two
months at least. But the grain will
all mature at about the same time.
Then will come the herculean task
of harvesting it.
To get an idea of tin*, enormous
size of this great wheat let us im
agine that it is close to San Fran
cisco. If one end of it one mile
wide touched 011 Market street, the
rest of the field would stretch one
mile wide almost to San Jose. This
same wheat field is over four times
the size of the improved portion of
San Francisco. The whole city
and county of San Francisco, in
cluding all the outlying district, is
about the same size.
With the big improved machinery
it does not look as though there
was much work spent on planting
and harvesting the field. But sup
pose one man had to handle the
j crop, if such were possible, how
long would it take him ?
Suppose the field was one mile
I wide and forty miles long, and the
j one man had a double gang plough
cutting a furrow twenty-four inches
| wide. He would start at a corner
of the field in San Francisco and
plough south toward San Jose, a
j distance of forty miles. Then he
j would come back and cut another
furrow to San Francisco, making
eighty miles for the round trip,
j This amount of work would only
be a tiny scratch four feet wide
along one side of the forty-mile
field, and the process would have
to be repeated at least 1,3000 times,
making a total distance of about
103,000 miles.
Suppose that the ploughman
worked at the late ofitwenty miles
a day. To get over the 105,000
miles would take 5,250 days. To
plant would take about the same
time, making a total of. 10,500
days, or nearly thirty years. It
would be like spending a lifetime,
j and the distance traveled would be
equivalent to going around the
world four times. And all in one
California wheat field.
| The accomplish the necessary
amount of work within the time at
his disposal the owner of the Clovis
wheat field has to employ over 200
men, over 1,000 horses and several
CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED by
local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat oi the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and muc
ous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
not a quack medicine. It was pre
scribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is a reg
ular perscription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined with
I the best blood purifiers, acting directly
'on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
I combination of the two ingredents is
j what produces such wonderful results
1 in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials,

Hall's Family Pills are the best, im
tons of big machinery. The men
are working early and late now,
and if the whole acreage is planted
l by January and a sufficient quan
| tity of rain falls there will be such
I a crop of wheat as has never been
heard of, for the land is good land
and the seed is good seed. Then
will the bread eaters of the world
give thanks for the existence of the
largest field in California.
A MANSION AT DANVILLE.
Purchased by the Sisters of Christian Charity.
The Thomas Beaver mansion, at
Danville, has been sold, and the ex
tensive and finely appointed old home
stead, which for six or seven years past
has stood idle, is at last to be put to
practical use. The mansion is to be
made a branch of the mother bouse of
the Sisters of Christian Charity, of
Wilkesbarre, while the comparatively
new and handsome stable, with one or
more of the buildings will be turned
into an orphanage. The purchase
was affected last week. The price
paid, concerning which no definite in
formation iiasbeen received, was prob
ably sS,coo. The total cost of the
building was not much less than $lOO,-
000. The mansion will be occupied
by the sisterhood, it possible, before
the new year. The orphanage, ot
course, will not be ready for occu
pancy until sonic time later.
