THE CROSS ROAD.
Rumors of Its Extension to Hueneme
Circulated.

The Los Angeles, Pasadena and Glen
dale railroad just now is furnishing any
amount of gossip as to extension and
eastern connections. A story now
comes floating in the railroad atmos-
phere that this line is to be extended
from Glendale to Hueneme. The route
outlined is through Burbank, across the
valley, passing through the Lanker-
SHIN and the Rested ranches and the
Encino, to and over the Santa Susana
pass to the Simi and Las Posas.
There can be no mistake as to the
value of the country which would be
opened by such route as producer of
freight, and if, as is suspected, the
Union Pacific should prove to be the
power behind the little road, it would
have strong grip on the biggest grain
producing section of Southern Cali
fornia.

Tender Hearted.

Bears were SO numerous in the early settlo-
mcnt OF Ohio that one man has been known
to kill sixty-five in a single season; but the
war of determination greatly reduced their
numbers in few years. MIR. Barker, Of
Athens, relates the following hunting incident
of pioneer times
Chris Stevens and German named Heck
wpra hunting one day, and trced n bear in q
large poplar not far from Stevens house.
Tho bear climbed nearly to tho top Of tho
tree. which was very tall The hunters had
but one gun between them, and Stevens was
tu shoot. Ho levelel his piece, took aim and
then waited as II taking n more careful
sight.
Heck waited anxously for his companion
to fire Out of patience, he at length e1-
claimed: "Why don you shoot"
Stevens, who was very kind hearted
man, deliberately lowered his gnu and said:
81 can't bear to see the poor thing fall 80
far!"
"An't you soft one exclaimed the Ger
man. "tiif me de gun den--I shoots him If
he falls NIT Gle ground till ii tousand feet"
He seized the gun and Eruin soon came
tumbling down.-Youths' Companion.

A Grateful ROy,

Paul Moutonuicrre, who represents several

Not long ago Paul went away on business
trip, leaving word with his wife that he would
return on certain day. But business de-
tanned him and he did not reach here as ex-
pcctetl. His wife was worried and the boy
knew it. In an upper room was hung copy
of an old etching representing the journey OF
Jesus, and when tho boy saw his mother =
disappointment he tried 10 comfort her by
saying:
"Ncvor mind, mamma, will 10 up and nsk
Jesus to have papa come Tomorrow"
lie ran out Of the room, but his mother
thought nothing Of it at the time. After shs
had put the boy to bed at night She received
an explanatory telegram from Paul and was
greatly relieved. Well, Paul arrived on tho
morning train and at once repaired to his
home He kissel the boy, who seemed over
loved to eee him. The little fellow rcmcm-
bcrcd how his father had taught him to bs

heard tho other day 4 curious illustration
Of the way in which people Of speculative
turn are led to invest money in enterprises OF
which they know hardly more than the name.
A Boston man was camping out in tho wilds
Of New Hampshire at Il place which he and
his party had reached by q tramp of several
days through the pathleas forest. While en-
ioying his rest around fire which had been
made by logs from great tree cut down hy
ons Of the guides, a party of men came along
and stopped to have n chat with himself and
friends. After n little talk about the weather
aud the fishing, one Of the new comers said
loosely, "Do you know you are liable to
fine for trcspassing on this woodland, cutting
down trees and burning up the logs" He
added that the property belonged to GER
tain land company, the shares of which were
at one time quoted on the Boston stock ex-
change. As soon Us tho other man heard the
name Of the land company he said: "Well, l
never expected to get u cent out OF that com
pany, and this is the first time that l have
heard where its land is.' The speaker by
chance had camped sut on land OF company
in which he had invested years before and
had never even known its location till it was
suggested to him at this meeting il the prinif
tive forest. Boston Post.

An Anccdnte "f the Late MIR. blanchard.
One of the deceased drumatists cherished
anecdotes best illustrates the love he had for
the past literary life of London and the link
with that past which has now been severed,
and tho London correspondent Of The Bir-
mingham Post happened to hear the story
from him on the night after the occurrence
to which it referred Some eight years ago
he was at the Arundel club, whGn an old
friend observed to him: "Blnnchard, ] am ~
today, and | am now able to toll you, rs a
0rm admirer of David Garrick, q story asso-
cinted with my birthday. When | was littlo
lad, G or years old, was playing with my

81 replied in the negative, and she went
on: He was Englands greatest actor, and
my husband, and the friend Of DR.. johnson
and the !lustrious Mr.. Burke. You will
hear of him TN the future, and if, when you
reach 10 instead of 7, you meot any one who

avr yife of nevi1 Garr;rk.' And" CON-
tinued the friend that day having now
come, pass, Blanchard, tho handshake and
the blessing to you"
1t was with considerable dramatic point
that this story was told, for the study i'll
which it was narrated had once been occu-
pied by Garrck himself, and his death mask
was prominent object in it; and to lovers of
literature it will seem strange that there was
living in London only yesterday one who was
removed by single llandshake from a lady,
who, as Boswell attests, had more than once
entertained johnson and Burke at the hoard
Of her illustrious sl,i5band. d.--pall Mall Gazette.

Large and Small Books.

We have got long way past the timo
when books were three feet high. The only
books which reach that altitude in these days
arc account books. There are old folios,
such as we look ut in the windows oi Lewis
store on Liberty street. but which, somehow,
very few of US seem to go in and buy Those
old towers belonged to the days when people
had leisure. Leisure today is almost as OBJ
solete as chain armor. Everybody is in u
hurry. And yet almost everybody is inter
ested in books Tho result of this peculiar
condition of things is the small book.
The small book, which we can hold in our
hand and put in our pocket, if we please, and
read through in ninety minutes, is one OF the
signs of tho times. And the publishers are
alwuysup with the times That is why we
have so many excellent series of short biog-
raphies and histories. -littsburg Dispatch

Tho number of highly educated men in
Germany is increasing quite rapidly, despite
the growing public opinion that there are al

culture and forestry. In 1872 the number
had increased to 20.4lS: In 1873, to 23,26l in
1850, to 26 032; in 1885. to 81, 755; in 1888, to

Of students has been almost doubled. In lSG0

one to every 400. I'm these figures" says

INDUSTRIAL VILLAGES.
EHnrta to Re-cstnblish These Much Need.
cd Communitics In England.

The society for promoting the growth OF
Industrial villages has set before itself all OBJ
ject with which it is impossible not to sympa-
thize. The aggregation OF men in towns and
cities has been historically the condition Of
some of the greatest and proudest achieve
mcnts which human society can boast. But
although urban life has its advantages, and
is in Its measure essential to the corporate
we'll being, 1t has its disadvantages also, and
very grlevous these disadvantages are. Tho
benefits are obvious.
It needs no comprehensive survey or elabo-
rate statistics to provo that the near neigh
borhood of town enables its dcuzens to CO.
operate for their mutual advantage in way
quito impossible to the dwcllers in rural dis
tricts This is obvious to the most casual OBJ
servation, and it has been so clearly seen by
Engishmen within the last half century that
a perfect rush has set in Of the rural popula-
ton into towns, with the result that, whie
these latter have grown with unexompled ra-
pdity and attained unprecedented proper
tioIls, many country districts have been al.
most denuded of inhabitants, and villages,
with their domestic industries and institl-
tions, have perished in the shadow of colossal
neShbors-
This wholesale obliteratiOn Of the village
type has undoubtedly involved serious loss
to tho community, perhaps even national
loss. AT any rate the sentiment cannot he
mistaken which has led Sir George Campbell
and his associates to cast about for the means
of restoring the deserted village, and recall
ing public attention to the possibilities OF
benefit to town and country alike In the pro
vision of an outlet within our own borders
for that most miserable and most dangerous
of all social growths-a surplus town popu-
lation.
The diffusion of sound views, and still more
the establishment of sound practice, in such
matter must be work Of time, and 1t may
we'll be that the formulated programme of
tho society will be subject to considerable
modification in the light of experience, but
we are glad to learn that thcy have met with
some measure Of encouragement
Among the instances which are mentioned
tho following is peculiarly satisfactory: A
