He Is Only Six Years Old bat a won-
derfoi Traveller.
A little smutty-faced urehin about G
years old was brought into the Seventeenth
street police station early last evening by
an officer who found him at the terminus Of
the Valencia-street cable road. lie said his
name was Harry Crager and his father was
John Smith, janitor Of the Pacific Bank,
but where he lived he could not tell, nor
could he give any other clew to bis identity.
In view Of the fact that there are about 80
John Smiths in the directory the difficulty
OF tracing the right one can be readily seen.
At the Folsom-street station however, ii
was learned that Harry is an old timer and
turns up at soma station In town about
twice week. Ills mother lives mt 6G7h
Washington street. When the lady was
called on and informed where her boy was
