THE POOR BOY.
He Had No Good Clothes, But He Did
Have "A Good Heart.

His face was picture OF beauty aud health,
And his cheeks were as red as tie rose:
His eyes were ~ bright
As the stars OF the night;
But he didn't wear very good clothes.
Two little brown curls found hole in his hat
While the pcop.e passed by
Never turning an eye
On poor little fcllog, Ike him.
His little red bands hung down By his side
As lie looked in the window to sec
All the beautiful toys
That wOHld piraSc little boys
More b!est and more happy than he
His father was dcl : ana his mother was poor.
And the crowd Kept on hurrying Ly;
Then he psckcd Up sack,
Threw IL ever his back,
And he left with q tear in his eye.
He thought OF his mother in bed at homo sick,
And his feelings he tried TO control
As he stopped here and there
On the street everywhere
To pick up a stray lump of coal.
gentleman gave him 4 quarter 10 go
And purchase some nice little toy;
And tie heart that was sad
In the breast Of the lai
Never beat in q happier boy.
He lifted the rim Of his little brown lat
And thanked him, the proudest Of boys;
But lie never went back
70 that store with his sack
To invest 1t in purchasing toys.
No, no! On he went TO the river in haste,
With a feeling Of joy in his soul;
No toys Lad ne bought,
For hat little boy thought
OF lis mother. and spent it for coal.

BELOW THE SEA LEVEL.
An Ocean of Glittering Salt In the Colo
RADIO Desert.

S3'ton is one of the lowest points in
the United States, being 263 feet be-
low sea level. 1t is a dreary spot stu
ated about the end of a huge valley.
From time immortal Salton las been
desert. and for all time to come it
will remain sa. Except for a few
scant sagebrush nothing on it nor can
be made to grow. Here lie the huge
salt beds which are now being worked
by San Francisco company, so what
looks apparently useless waste is
really valuable land.
The beds cover au enormous area,
and the salt is scraped off the surface
and is not as some people imagine,
mined in the same way as gold and
silver. The beds are about six 10
eight feet in length, and often larger
for they are artiIicially made, and in
them ooze the salt. The only tools
which are employed to gather the salt
are shovel and hoe. Then the
crude salt is loaded upon fiat ears and
run down by Il locomotive into the
mills, where it is pounded up into salt
for the table, for the dairy and for
such other purposes as needed. The
amount of salt that can be produced is
iucalculable. Indeed. there is enough
to supply the civilized world for all
time to come, and if there were a fail
ure of salt anywhere the Colorado
desert would be able to supply the de-
mand.
In broad day when the beds are
seen from the railroad cars, they look
like an immense inland ocean. whose
waters are of glaring white upon
whose broad bosom rise innumerable
mirages from great city blessed with
churches and cathedrals, whose spires
are rs numerous as the masts on the
River Thames of great ocean steam
ships and huge sailing vessels. In
early morning, when the sun is rising,
the scene is one of unsurpassed splen-
dor, for aS the rays strike the salty
crystals they flash forth various color
ed lights-.SaR francisco Chronicle.

TO FORM one PROVINCE.

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island to Combine.
OTTAWA, Dec. 3.-Three Atlantic Prov
inces-Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Isiand-are considering
the adyisability Of combining their in
terests and forming one province. The
Premiers of the three provinces and their
Cabinet Ministers have had a conference
on the subject with the Dominion Minis
ter. c. II. Tupper. The Minister of the
Marine says: I'm my opinion it is a ques-
ton with which our representatives in the
local Assemblies should now deal vigor-
ously. The saving Of money to be ef-
tected is not small feature in this con-
solidation, but the etacement Of pro-
vincial lines and the welding of the senti-
ment down by the sea would in itself pro-
duce beneficial results The present
movement is simply putting new life into
a proposition which was made in 1850,
when Sir Charles Upper was Premier of
Nova Scotia, but which was temporarily
overshadowed by the greater question OF
confederation.

Literary value of a Name.

A famous name in literature undoubt-
edly counts for something. It is right
that it should, says Edward w. Box, in
The Ladies Home journal. Fame is the
result of work-often the work OF years
1t carries with it commercial value of
which no fair-minded person can doubt
the justice. But that it is the .'all-essen-
tial'' in a manuscript is utter folly. And
the best evidence of this fact is that each
week sees the articles, stories and poems
of our best known authors rejected in the
editorial Offices throughout the country.
But of this the young author knows
naught. She judges only from what She
sees printed; she is i'll ignorance of the
fact That manuscripts are often returned
to the most famous names.

The marriage of Miss Grace Rideout,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. n. ID. Rideout,
and DR.. Briggs of Sacramento is one of
the events on the tapis for the very near
future, says the Marysyille 4ppedt
a quiet wedding took place on Wednes-
day at st. Paufs Church, Rev. Mr.. 0tt-
man officiating. The bride was Miss
Viola Barmby, daughter OF Robert
Barmby of Perkins, and the groom was
Rhodes Scholefield. highly esteemed
citizen of Florin. The attendants were
Miss Maggie Barmby, sister of the bride,
and c. G. Perkins. Only the relatives
and few intimate friends were present.
The happy couple took the afternoon
train for San Francisco, where they will
remain for several weeks.

CALIFORNIA RAISINS.
They are Making Their Way Into New
Eastern Markets.

They are Making Their Way Into New
Eastern Markets.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Commercial
Bulletin says: There are, as far as can
be learned, no California raisins in purely
spectators hands in this city, and the
best information on the subject is to the
ei;ect that the same remark will apply to
Chicago. That wholesalers have, through
the inducement of moderate prices, been
able to distribute more California raisins
this season than ever before in the cor
responding number OF weeks, is suscepti-
bic OF proof, and that the consumption
has been stimulated greatly is no secret.
AS matter OF fact California sacked
raisins have fought their way into inte-
rior markets, where they were scarcely
known prior to this season, and all signs
are very much at fault if the cheapness of
goods has not been of great force in help
ing along the movement. Not only that,
but q satisfactory quality has put the fruit
far ahead of the imported stock, and as
long as the quality is kept up to this
years standard the Californians doubt
less will be able to market a larger crop
next season and possible at better aver
age prices than those now ruling.

The San Francisco Post of last evening
contained the following statement:
Yesterday afternoon Henry Harris,
Secretary of the California League, pre-
pared list of the players in the State or
ganiZation who will be reserved for next

n. E. Young. Secretary of the Board of

as follows:

The story published last month about
the asphyXiation of McHale and Tom
Parrott at San Jose turns out to be
fake. The players were sick when they
left Sacramento and unable to appear in
some of the games played in the Garden
City. The yarn about the escaping gas
in the hotel was started by one OF the Sac

OMAHA, Dec. 3.-The charges preferred

liation of the interstate commerce law,
which were to be Investigated before the

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Although the boy
colt against the Chicago and Alton road

parently cannot be continued consist
emily without also being directed at the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. The
latter road has notified the Board of Rul-
ings that it will Immediately resume the
payment of passenger commissions in
eastern territory. 1t is asserted that all
Western lines are following the example
of the burlington. Every Eastern road,
with the exception Of the Pennsylvania
lines, has notified the Western connec-
tions that owing to the accumulation of
freight it cannot longer receive grain re-
consigned st Chicago for Eastern points.
The car situation has now become seri-
oUs. The yards of the Eastern lines are
crowded with loaded cars marked for
transfer. The Western roads refuse to
allow any more of their equipment east
Of Chicago, and the Eastern connections
are unable to provide cars enough to
make the necessary transfers. 1t is pre-
dicted that before the close of the month
there viii be a tremendous blockade, eN-
tending from the Missouri River to the
seaboard. Advices from the Western
wheat belt indicate that the farmers in
many localities have insufficient storage
room ior the grain, and are unable to pro-
cure cars at any price for the shipment OF
the surplus.
