A Word to the Boys.

What do you think, young friends,
of the hundreds of thousands who are
trying to cheat themselves and others
into the belief that alcoholic drinks
are good for theml Are they to be
pitied and not blamed! Do you want
to be one of these wretched menl If
we are to have drunkaTds in the flu
ture, some of them are to come from
the boys to whom | am writing; and /
ask you again if you want to be one of
them! No! of course you don't!
Well, | have plan for you that is
just as sure to save you from such
fate as the sun is to rise tomorrow
morning. 1t never failed; it never
will fail; and think it is worth
knowing. Never touch liquor in any
form. That is the plan, and it is not
only worth knowing, but it is worth
putting in practice. | know you don't
drink now, and it seems to you IS if
you never would. But your tempta-
tion will come, and it probably will
come in this way: You will find your
self, some time, with a number of
companions, and they will have bot
tie of wine on the table. They will
drink and offer it to you. They viii
regard it as manly practice, and
very likely hey will look upon you as
a milksop if you don't indulge with
them. Then what will you do! eh,
what will you dol VIII you say, .'No,
no! none of that stuff for me! know
trick worth half dozen of that"
or will you take the glass with your
own common-sense protesting, and
your conscience making the whole
draught bitter, and a feeling that you
have damaged yourself, and then go
off with a hot head and a skulking
soul that at once begins to make apol-
ogies for itself, and will keep doing so
all this lifel Boys, do not become
drunkards.- e. Holland.

The Bepgar.

"a beggar! beggar!" shouted half
dozen boys, as the bent form of an
old man tottered toward them. He
was a sad sight. His clothes were in
tatters. his hat had lost its crown, and
his poor feet were bare. "Please
give me a few pennies to buy my din
ner with" said he, holding out his
trembling hand. Dick Jones, who sat
on the fence putting cigar, answered:
TITS a shame to see man begging. /
never give to such folks; it's money
thrown away. What brought you
down so low, old MANI All, Dick
had asked the right question-a ques-
ton that carried the beggar back to
Doyhood, and gathering courage and
strength from the remembrance of his
young life, he told simple but true
story. what brought me here! Yes.
what did! I'll tell you. Just what
will bring you, young man. where l
am--idleness and the stump of cigar,
picked up after some great man; these
made a begger of an innocent boy.
You don't believe me; none of the
boys do. My parents were rich. They
loved me, and said their boy should
never work as his father had. They
let me run in the streets; they waited
on me; they gave me horse and a
dog and money. saw ministers and
congressman smoking and chewing. i
thought if these great men did it,
surely boys might; and once when l
was sick, the doctor said: Tobacco
won't hurt him. | learned to love
tobacco; that called for something
stronger; / took wine and beer be-
cause smart men did, | got little
Jobs here and there, about theaters,
saloons and taverns. Then / learned
to drink whiskey; and you know the
rest. I'm old and poor and despised
now. What brought me here, did you
ask Idleness, tobacco, whisky.

away. I've been over the road, and |

man. and so he loafed and pulled and
drank, and went over the same road
at last. Poor Dick!

ing car the "Mayflower," is a very
handsome one. 1t is sidetracked at

The Southern Pacific track has been
very nearly washed out at several
points in Arizona. The recent rain
storms there are said to be as furious
as any ever recorded.
Mr.. Coddington, Superintendent OF
the Visalia division of the Southern
Pacific, intends to take a vacation.
He has been working for twenty-four
years without da,'s holiday and
thinks that he is entitled to rest.

THE IRON HIGHWAY.
Work Commenced Oh the
3. P.'s New Branch.
A HOST OF EXCURSIONISTS.
More Motive Power Badly Needed
on the Southern Pacific
System.
A HOST OF EXCURSIONISTS.

On Monday morning the construc-
tion forces OF the Southern Pacific
Company broke ground on the new
swing line from Anaheim to Tustin.
As surveyed, this line will run as fol-
lows: 1t leaves the Santa Ana branch
at point about one mile and a hall
south of Anaheim, then runs parallel
with the old line to Hager and Con-
gress' large vineyard, which it ira
verses and then goes east to Joel
Parker's orange groves. From there
it runs almost due south, cross.
ing the Santiago creek at AL
wards place, about quarter of a
mile north of Mcpherson, which
town it heads for, and enters by the
main street, passing by the large
packing house, north of which de-
pot will be constructed. 1t then runs
south for about 160 rods through the
West and Rogers ranches, after which
it makes short turn east through
the Sanders place and reaches the
western extremity of d. Hewes' NAM
moth foothill vineyard. 1t then
bends directly south and makes al
most bee-line for Tustin City, its
present terminus, and which, it will
be remembered, is near the frontier
of the San Joaquin ranch.
This line is the outcome Of the re-
fusal of residents Of Santa Ana to
grant right of way through that town
to the company, and after it goes into
operation and is finally extended
across the San Joaquin to San Diego,
the track between Anaheim and Santa
Ana will be sim y used for local work.
Messrs. Huntington, Towne and
Crocker made personal survey over
the above outlined route, and on their
arrival at San Francisco gave instruc-
tions for the work to be commenced
as soon as possible. Only about
fifty men and ten teams were working
on the grade yesterday, but it is
stated that large force will be sent
down at once-prob bly, one of the
outfits of the Pacific I'M
provement Company being called into
requisition.
The new line will go directly
through the southern limits OF Ana
helm, about one mile from Orange,
half mile from Modena, and about
two miles and half from Santa Ana.

THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.
1t is Caused by an Insufficiency
Of Motive Power.

OF Motive Power.
Regarding the statement that the
Visalia division of the Southern
Pacific is blocked with freight cars,
Mr.. Coddington, Superintendent of
that district, says that the trouble is
really caused on the Los Angeles divi-
sion. He acknowledges that an un-
usual number of cars are side-tracked
alobg his route, but says that this is
caused by the inability of the divisions
south of him to receive and handle
them. Perishable goods have all
been rushed through, and in no
single instance has car been held
back.
On mention of this statement to
Colonel Hewitt yesterday afternoon
that gentleman remarked, "fes, l
suppose that is about the way the
matter stands, and bis division is no
more to blame than any Of the others.
The cause of this state of things is
that the company has insufficient
rolling stock to handle the business,
which has increased at an unex-
pected rate during the past few
months. The difficulty will soon be
removed, however, asiby May Let, lSe
new locomotives are to be ready ION
