FIFTEEN-TON loads of lumber, piled
on immense eight-wheeled wagons and
drawn by teams of six to ten horses or
mules, are to be seen on the mountain
roads in California. The driver sits on
a very high seat with one foot on pow
erful brake, and usually handles the
reins and a long whip with seeming
carelessness. The San Francisco Arqus,
however, pictures him at more ey cit
ing juncture 8 Let a scare take pls ,e ;
let herd of runaway cattle appear at a
bend and set the horses wild, and then
see what will happen. The day-dreamer
will become giant of strength; he is
up in a Hash; he shortens his hold Upon
the reins, and feeling his wagon start up
beneath him, places a foot of iron on
the brake. The horses snort and rear
and surge; the harness rattles, the dust
arises, the load shrieks again, and the
huge wheels turn fatally faster and
faster. An instant may hurl the wagon
down into the valley with its struggling
train-a mad rush to the other side of the
way may end all in one horrible plunge.
Muscle. eye, brain, skill are then
brought to work SO splendidly together
that the peril is averted, and the locker
on, who knows not the way Of the land,
regards the teamstcr with profound re-
spect thereafter 1914

THE NEW YEAR.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring In redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms OF party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring In the Christ that is to be.

THE -FOUR SEASONS.

In the balmy April weather,
My love, you know,
When the corn began to grow,
What walks we took together,
What signs we breathed together,
What VOWS we pledged together,
In the days OF long ago!
In the golden summer weather,
NY love, You know,
When the mowers went to NOW,
What home we built together.
What babes we watched together,
What plans we planned together,
While the skies were all aglow!
In the rainy autumn weather,
NY love, you know,
When the winds began to blow,
What tears we shed together,
What mounds we heaped together,
What hopes we lost together,
When we laid our darlings low.
In the Wild and wintry weather,
My love, you know,
With our heads as white as snow,
What prayers we pray together,
What tears we share together,
What heaven we seek together,
Fog our time has come to go!
Theodore luton.

THE latest product to which Cali
fornia soil has been found well adapted
is opium, of which a superb quality,
much superior to the opium Of COM
merce, has been raised in the Sonoma
Valley. The only obstacle to its Guilt
walton is the fact that labor costs more
than in the Orient, but that is Offset by
the better quality of the domestic arti-
Gle, and the absence of heavy duties.
There seems to be hardly any product
OF the earth that can not be raised in
some part of the Golden State. Tea,
figs, oranges, lemons, bananas, olives,
dates, even the cinchona tree and poppy
plant grow there along with the fruits
and vegetables of temperate chimes.

A GILL of raw (unboiled) linseed oil

eat her offspring. Perfect quiet and
isolation are considerations which should

We went into the museum. The first
thing the old gardeners I shall still
call him-did was to take hold of

comrades to lay hold of Wonder.''
On moving them, a noise of loose metal
was heard. A moments examination
sufficed to reveal the secret. In the off
side of each animal, in the soft part. an
orifice had been made by cutting the
skin in such way as to enable the op-
orator to replace it with little care. A
part OF the stuffing had been removed,
leaving a vacancy just like a throstle's
nest. This was filed with jewelry-
watches, guards, earrings, and finger
rings. A further examination of the
museum revealed other and as singular
hiding places: for example, q game.
cock was found put out of sight; on
taking hold of it, a noise of clinking
metal was heard; on lifting up the
feathers over the crop, small hole was
seen, out of which rolled, when the bird
was shaken, number of trinkets.
Nearly all the proceeds of the two
robberies of the jeweler were recovered,
one watch and few guards only being
absent. And some of the property Of
the provision dealer was also found
slowed i'll the breeding box, though
most of it had been used or sold. I
scarcely need say that the parcel sold to
the gardener was part of it, and had
to do with the detection. My friend the

By-and-by the weather took up, when

and went away. The moment they were

VANDALIA LINE
The Vandalia Line

From Cincinnati to st. Louis is now run
ming special line of magnificent Pullman
Palace Sleeping Coaches for the accommo-
dation of travel between the two cities.
This is an improvement that the travel
ing public will appreciate as it assures one
.of choice OF berths, something that can not
be guaranteed by other lines whose Sleep
ing cars come through from the seaboard
cities.
The Vandalia sleepers start from Plum
street Depot every day at Up. M. time to
ST. Louis Union Depot, where all Western
connections are made, twelve hours. One
trip over the Vandalia will convince the
most skepticai that it is the route" for
irst-class travellers. Tickets and berths
may be secured at any time by applying to

Village Mayors and Bastardy Suits.

\ Judge Foraker of the Superior Court de-
cided to-day the case OF William Oehler
who applied for writ OF habeas corpus
He was in custody by order of Judge
Moore, having failed to give security to pay
the Judgment awarded against him in a
bastardy snit by Katie Miller.
The Court held that the village Mayor
had no right to try the preliminary charge,
this power being conferred alone by the
statute on justice OF the peace.
Therefore, when the defendant was put
on trial on the identical proceeding before
the Mayor, the judgment of the Common
Pleas was withou any validity.
The writ of hnbeas corpus was according.
ly allowed. The case was then set for trial
to-morraw on the application to discharge
the prisoner under the writ of habeas
corpus.
