Your local paper tells you when to
go to church, to county, circuit and
probate court, and when to send your
children to school and nearly any
where else you have to go. 1t tells
you who is dead, married, sick, born
and many other things you like to
hear. 1t calls your attention to all
public enterprises, advocates good
schools, law, temperance and order in
your town and county. 1t rejoices
with you in prosperity and sympa-
thizes with you in distress. It records
the marriage of your daughter, the
death of your son, the illness of your
wife, free of charge. It booms your
town and builds up your business,
whether you patronize it or not. It
sets forth the attractions and advap-
tages of your city and invites immi-
grafton and is always first to welcome
new comers, Time would fail to en-
umerate half it does for its own peo-
pie, and yet we sometimes hear man
say his home paper is not half SO good
as some city paper that never did any
thing for him and has no interest in
him or his business.

Yesterday a party of adventurous
boys walked out along the Ft. Stevens
railroad track beyond the line of
sandy beach, and past where the
waves were roaring at the bottom of
the piles. When well out to the end
of the track they saw an engine ap-
proaching with train of cars. To go
back or jump off was impossible, so
they nimhly swung themselves down
on the stringers, letting the engine
and train go laundering over their
heads while below roared the foam
ing water. 1t was a case of being "be-
tween the devil and the deep sea-"
but the good angel that watches over
boys saved them, and pale and tremb-
ling they made their way back in safety.

The Union Pacific railroad com
pany has formally accepted the pro-
position extended to it by the people
of Port Townsend. Briefly stated,
the terms of the proposition are to
the effect that Port Townsend pays
the company 100000 in cash, makes
over to it titles of the right of way,
so far secured, besides good and suf-
ficient titles of all the land which have
been subscribed by the people. On
the other hand, the railroad covenants
to make Port Townsend the northern
terminus of their line and within a
stipulated time to build and have in
operation 20 miles of the road from
Port Townsend towards Portland.

Literatur. Affected ny Them.
What do fashionable women read?"
l might answer .every thing covers
large field in a general way, and
prefer to deal with particularities just
now. | have been told more than
once that the readers employed by
publishing houses to read the MSS. OF
novels are almost invariably women,
and young women between the ages OF
twenty and twenty-five. The reason
given for this is that, as the majority
OF novel readers are young women.
a young woman is considered the best
Judge In this matter This may be true
or not, but it is true that q great many
elderly women devote large portion
of their time to reading novels. They
are too old for much social lite, and
therefore have plenty of time to devote
to reading, and they seem to have q
fancy for the lightest kind Of novels.
One elderly, crippled lady whom once
had the pleasure of knowing, took q
great delight in books that told Of
murders and the pursuit OF the crimi-
nails by detectives. She declared that
she knew the Bible and prayer-book by
heart, for she had read them daily
through long life, and she read nov.
els because she enjoyed them.
Coming down to the younger vom-
en-, there are many fashionable mar.
ried women whose special pleasure is
reading history and biography. Iknow
several women who appear to pass the
greater part Of their lives in society.
and yet they find time to read the best
novels Of the day, the biographies.
memoirs and books of co.Sc-
spondence that are being con-
stantly brought out, and the many vol
umes of poems. French novels are
much read by the women who habitu-
ally study the language during tho
winter season and take an annual trip
abroad in the summer; but l find that
the French novel is often laid aside for
the study Of some of the French classic
writer's. A few ambitious debutantes
make an attempt to keep up with one
or two studies and do little solid
reading, but before the season is well
under way their engagements are 50
numerous that the attempt falls
through. and If any time at all is de.
voted to books it is to the latest society
novel. The older girl, however, the
girl of few seasons, finds time to
take up language. and II she Is in
