FRIENDS CALI AND BUOY HUB UP -Railroad Man Regales Him • With Story of a Dutchman and His Pipe Versus Irate Woman And Her Poodle Dog, We have at last had a glorious rain. After nine long sweltering weeks with out a drop to lay the dust or purify the atmosphere It came with a downpour and everybody is happy. The gardens will revive and the flowers will bloom again and the farmers wUl rejoice, for It has come In time to save their ^languishing crops. The dear, little sick child whom we have been nursing so tenderly and watching for many days will now get well. My wife or one of the girls Is there day and night, but the dust and the heat had almost over come him when the rain came. We are all air plants and must have It pure. Then again, I tried to take comfort by readlnfg the tribute that Charles Francis Adams has recently paid to General Robert E. Lee. It seems to be getting quite fashionable to praise Lee up there, but really I don’t see why they should single him out and damn Mr. Davis and all the rest of us and * the cause for which Lee fought. I don’t like Any man who praises Lee and stabs Mr. Davis. Lee and Davis were like brothers all their mature lives. They were classmates at West Point and during our civil war they were bosom friends and never disa greed about anything. It is a gross In sult to the memory of Lee to slander his closest and dearest friend. No gentleman would do It. I have not heard of Charles Francis Adams slan ■ dering Mr. Davis, but we have good reasons to suspect that he belongs to the Goldwln Smith and Roosevelt crowd,for be voluntarily took command of a negro regiment during the war, and that is a bad sign.

The woman screamed with anger; she mauled him over the head with he/ umbrella. She screamed and yelled for the traln to stop. He stood it all heroically. '“‘Madam. I sent your dog to find mine pipe," he said; The alarm was so great that the conductor came running In and some passengers filled the door, while the woman did the talking. “My husband will meet me at Orlando," she said, “and he will maul the Juice out of you, you bald-headed rascal.” "Veil, I will give him a chance,” said he. The train soon roll ed up to Orlando, and sure enough the woman’s husband was there. She be came violent and hysterical as she told her wrongs and pointed out the man. Let him come out here," said the husband, “I dare him to come out here." "Veil, I suppose I must see about de fight,” said the Dutchman, "and take de medicine, l\ut I shore don’t vant no little guns In It nor butcher knives; I can fight some mid mine fists." He took off his coat and handed it to a bystander. The crowd increased. The conductor said he would stop the train for ten minutes. A ring was made tor the men to fight in and everybody was In a state of high expectation. Here my friend stopped his narrative find lit a fresh cigar and commenced talking about something else. “But the fight," said I, "what about the fight?" Oh! there wasn’t any fight," he said.
