in our school duties by illustrated
books and papers sent to us; for so I'M

the island, which was all of the world

was well-nigh impossible for them to
comprehend physical objects of the
simplest nature. What mountain
might be was beyond their understand

the appearance of a great forest to
children who knew no vegetable
growth larger than the purple lupirc
on their gentle slopes was greater than
one can tell. 1t was necessary, how
ever, to exercise the strictest censor

difficult for all to comprehend carica-

CHAPTER xvuI.-P1KE's PEAK.

Preparations were made and the follow.
ing morning, we gathered with a party of
ten or fifteen persons, ready TO ascend che
world renowned summit of Pixies Peak. In
the party was an editor from Vermont,
who was making tour of the West and
wanted to accompany us up the mountain.
He carried huge note book as a reposito-
~ from which he hoped to draw his win

wearing hat with very broad brim,
Stella said, his sharp face looked like

much amused as he came from the hotel
with an umbrella under one arm and his
huge note book under the other, wearing
loose tweed overcoat that scarcely touched
him below the shoulders. Then there was
a young couple who were very uncen
sclously telling us that they were taking
in" the beauties of the West as an ac'
compartment to their honeymoon. We
gathered on the steps of the great hotel
and as each one mounted a small pony,
we started on the Cheyenne road for the
trail to the upper world.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
AMONG THE PINES.

So strong and straight, in fragrant gloom,
The pines, like pillars ivy-bound
In some old temple, upward loom,
Bearing the doom with which it's crowned
A dome with glory shining through
In shimmering rays that come and go
necessarily, promise true
or light that is that we shall know.
A song is sung among the trees
Sweeter than notes of mocking-birds,
Than whispers of the southland breeze
A song that's more than tune and words
In tenderness, in peace, in love;
An echo pure il seems, that swims
Hallway 'twixt earth and heav'n above,
or angels singing praiseful hymns.
Then presently there is n hush
The birds are still, the wind is dead,
An awful silence seems to crush
The tree-tops towering overhead
And, in moment, hands a-clasp,
The eyes uplifted from the sod,
The thought the Utmost soul does grasp;
Here stand we face-to-face with God.
Again the balmy south-wind sways
The branches of the towering pines,
The mocking-birds sing tender lays,l
The sunlight falls in changing lines
The strong straight pines all iyy-bound,
Look grander as the evening dims
And unto Him, in joyful sound,
Ascend the woodland vesperJymns.

RAILWAY FRANCHISES.
A Bewilderjng Maze of Them Before the
street Conn ittee.

A Bewilderjng Maze of Them Before tho
street Committee.
At meeting of the Street Committee Of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday SUI
periutendent of Streets Ashworth sug-
gested that an ordinance be enacted prohb-
iting the distribution of hand-bills on the
streets. The practice is SO extensive that it
has become a nuisance, and many streets
are literally covered with all sorts of printed
bills
The Chief of Police called the attention
of the board to the same subject in his latest
report, and the committee decided to recon-
mend such an ordinance.
Most of the committees afternoon session
was consumed in the discussion of street
railway franchises. A very large delega-
ton was present to protest against granting
to Milton Eisner, j. b. Reinstein, and Others,
the right asked for on Beale, Seventh, Six
teenth and other STREETS, Frederick A. Gibbs
urging that a double track ON Beale street
would practically ruin the large iron interest
of that street, now representing from $780,
000, 600 10 $40, 600, 600.
John L. Dare, representing the Sixteenth
street protestants, said they wanted to pre-
serve that street for through line from
China basin to the park. This company
asked for seven blocks, just enough to shut
out any other company that might wish to
give tile leSlutHtS WHdt lDCy most cared LOT.
Such men as Claus SpreckelS and J ohn
Center are now preparing franchise for
such a road. Sixteenth street had been
made by the residents on it at an enormous
expense and gigantic obstacles. Its rights
and privileges are now dear to them, and
they thought it the rankest injustice that a
new company should be permitted TO take
possession of the grand avenue they had
hewn out of the rocks, and defeat the great
purpose they originally had in view.
The committee disregarded all protests
and recommended the final passage OF the
franchise, and, in view of this recommended
ton, The franchise asked for by George
Hearst and others on Seventh street to the
P0trero was withdrawn
A company styling itself the Syndicate
asked for a franchise starting from Mason
and Market streets, and. by bewildering
route, winding up in the sand hills mile or
SO south of the park. The committee will
probably recommend its passage to print

Willie McNeyin, was in the dock of one oil
the police coults yesterday with an uure-
corded charge of grand larceny against him,
on which he was to be examined for com.
mitnent to the Industrial School.
The boy was well dressed in knicker-

prone to evil ways, yet he admits that he
cannot help stealing, for he likes watches
and good Things" He wanted to be sent
to the Industrial School, and promised to
try and be coed while there.
Only a few weeks ago he and two COM
panions of his own aye were in prison for
stealing horse and buggy. buthe secured his
freedom through the influence of an uncle
who is connected with the Industrial School.
Relying on the youths promises to be good
and obey his parents he was sent home.
On Thanksgiving night he stole watch,
