A letter from the far West,
wrapped around a crisp IS note was

As Mr.. Matthews stared at the

There is nothing which arouses
the interest and enthusiasm of the
average book collector to a higher
pitch than the sight Of a musty old
mlssal or praYer-book Of the early
times. They command fancy prices
in the market, and the announce
ment Of rare volume to be offered
at an auction sale is sure to bring
out host of enthusiastic amateurs
with well-lined pockets prepared for
bidding of the liveliest sort.
This was the case in the recent
sale in London of portion of the
library Of the Earl of Crawford. one
of England's most noted amateurs
in the field of ecclesiastical publica-
tions.
There are many exceedingly rare
volumes, some of them from editions
of (which only one or two other
copies were known to be extant. and
the collectors haian old-time picnic.
There were royal prayer-books,
dating from the time of Queen
Elizabeth; finely bound liturgies,
primers and catechisms which once
belonged to members of England's
ruling families. which the Earl of
Crawford spend lifetime in collect
ing.
One of the rarest books in the
collection was a "glorious" copy of
the "MisSale Mixtum ct Brevlarium

The price paid for it was $3.50,

copy, in old red morocco. The
work was published in Toledo in

printed.

The True Lady-Adyice to Young
Women.

II is the duty of every woman to
be true lady. Brazen boldness is
a thing which girls can not afford
to practice. Wlldness of manner
and an open defiance of all those
wholesome laws which have made
woman's name illussrious both in
sacred and profane history from the
beginning Of time. are no more be-
coming TO girls and "yOung ladies, -
so-called than in angels Dellcacy is
an innate quality Of the female
heart, which, when once lost, can
never be regained. No art can re-
store to the grape its bloom or its
sweetness to the taste, when the
miIdews Of night have once settled
down upon the vine. Familiarity
without love, without confidence,
without regard to Uncommon rules
Of etiquette even, is destructive Of
all that makes woman exalting and
ennobling.

By this time the reporter and Mr.. Mayo
reached Mr.. Newman's place. The latter was
wreathed in smiles and extending his hand
said: We'll, Eli, old boy, we got to your
collar that time"
They shook hands, took cigar aud mu-

That Incoming I,ailroad.

W. II. Mills. in speaking about the ru-
mors of the Union Pacific building into
this State said, in an interview with Post
reporter:
1--WE all know that the Union Pacific has
survey parties in This State. We know it
from the drafts they have upon the banks,
and also from the fact that we.l-known
Union Pacific engineers are with the party,
though they nave not said word TO the
effect that they are employed bv the Union
Pacific. Thst road has a line already into
Eastern Oregon, and il will not take so
very much money to Guild it into Cali
fornia.
How is it regarded by our people
Favorably Parallel lines increase bust
ness for both roads. and there is not a
shadow of doubt that there will be some
other road into California. There have
been other surveys into Northern Calfor-
MIA. | learned that the Chicago and North
western road made a survey into this State.

The one speaking was an officer OF the
Chicago and Northwestern. To nay sur
prise he said that bis line had made very
complete reconnoissances of the Sierra Ne
yada, and intend building in here, and
had also had surveys made into Mexico"
Twill the Southern Pacific continue to
build into Oregon p
Certainly. When the Southern Pacific
feels strong enough it will build great
many more miles into Oregon, and possibly
into Washington Territory. Eastern Ore

marks with general prophecy that ii was
the Southern Pacisc's place to develop the
resources of that territory.
