FOOTED IT FROM FRISCO
Zoe Gayton, the Actress, Ends
 Her Long Walk.
SHE HAS WON A SMALL FORTUNE.

It Is Said That She Will Get About fcal Wreck When She at Last Reached the Metropolis.
 NEW YORK. March 2s.-When Zoe Gay ton walked into the Grand Central station at precisely nine minutes before 4, she was probably the most exhausted woman in the city of New York. But she declared that she would reach here Friday, nine days ahead of her schedule time, and in she came. When she emerged on Forty second street, heard the familiar cries and saw the familiar buildings the plucky woman's nerve deserted her for just a mo ment and her eyes filled. The knowledge that her long tramp from San Francisco was ended, that her wager was won and that rest awaited her did what no amount of hardship or suffering could do. But it was all over in a moment, and the specta- tors who had sembled to greet her prob ably did not notice how near she had been to complete breakdown.
 Beauty Was with Her.
 Miss Gayton arrived at High Bridge at o'clock to find delegation of New York
 
 remainder of the trip was made rapidly, and immediately upon reaching the city the whole party proceeded to the office of The Police Gazette, where an informal re- ception was held until 6 o'clock. Miss Gayton's party included w. J. Marshall, her manager; J. l.. Price, the represents tive of the California men who made the wager, and last, but by no means least, Beauty, the actress pet spaniel, who has trotted by her mistress side during the long months since Aug. 27, when the tramp began.
 Footed It from 'Frisco.
 The woman has walked every step of the way from San Francisco: has suffered from cold, hunger and privation; has slept out in the plains, in barns or hastily impro- vised tents, and shows in face and figure the effects of the trip. Her feet and limbs are swollen to twice their normal size Sha

WRITING ON THE SANDS.

paused at early morn to trace
My name upon the sand;
Nor cared to think how soon the race
OF leaping waters might efface
The record of my hand.
But now, alas, that human pride
So slight thing may quell!
With yonder words beneath the tide
feel that all I've wrought beside
May disappear as well
And dare deem that all this strife
OF thoughts within my soul
These hopes with which my heart is rife:
These longings for glorious life
Will find better goals
Oh, coward! when the trumpetis call
Is sounding in thy heart,
Pause not to basely reckon all
The risks to triumph, or to fall;
But PORTLAND act thy part!
! know not If the bearded grain,
Or barren stalks await
Mine autumn hours. Yet not in vain
My toll though God the fruit restrain
Or grant the harvest late.
Oh, Love that askest but to be!
Oh, Faith that will not die!
Life courage strength, ye are to me
While all things change or fade or fee
In ocean, earth and sky.

Money-Making Versus Human Life.
Care for the security of human life,
and especially of the poorer and more
exposed part of the community, is not
so striking feature of our civiliza-
ton as the ease and rapidity with
which we build railroads and subdue
the wilderness and make money. We
hear so much of the money-makin9
part of our prosperity and greatness
that we are sometimes forgetful that
it is by no means the highest part. 1t
is certainly questionable whether we
should not generally be more inter-
ested in the rate of the increase of the
national wealth than in that of the
increase of the length of life and Sc
curity against bodily injury. But
there is no question that the latter
interest would indicate higher civ
ilization. -Harper's Weekly.
