Just why the mosquitoes are so

PRETTY GIRL STACE

She Takes Her Sick Fathers Place and

Runs Difficult Route Bravely.
Butte county's most popular daugh-
ter to-day is Annie Morrison, whose
father, Henry Morrison, is one of the
most famous characters on the coast.
Hen Morrison has driven the coach
from Cherokee Flat down Morris
ravlne to Oroville for 10! these MANY
years. He is typical old-time stage
driver, hale, bluff, hearty and good
natured, who could not live anywhere
else but in the region in which he has
spent the better portion of his life, the
mountain region of northern Califor-
MIA. To him Tin Cup ravine, Sher-
man ravine, and all the dozens of
denies In the mountains are as familiar
as Lotta's fountain is to the statues of
kearny street.
For years it has been his special
mission in life to bring down the gold
from the mountain rscesses to OroviIle
Few men could safely drive a coach
over that road, but Hen Morrison had
been there so long that it had never
occurred to anyone that he might meet
with an accident or be called away.
so a short time ago when he was
thrown from his coach and had his leg
broken there was distress in the com.
munity. "Who can fill his placer" was
the main question. The many deeds
of valor and kindness of the old stage
driver, his many battles, by physical
exertlon and the aid of his ready gun.
were recalled. There did not seem to
be anyone to succeed him.
But the stage went out the next
morning just the same. When the
horses had been hitched and all the
minor details had been attended to
Miss Annie Morrison, the charming
daughter of the unfortunate old driver
Jumped INTO the box, took up the reins,
cracked her whip and drove awav
Throughout her fathers illness she
drove the stage and did it as well as
Old Hen ever did. Her independence
and bravery commanded attention and
forced respect.
Miss Morrison is only about 20 years
old and is a refined and well educated
young lady She bad made the trip
with her father many time and had
sometimes driven the horses WHY
should she not do SO during the con.
valescence OF her father? With her to

month she manipulated the lines.

RAcEHORSeS MADE BY MAN.
Their Great Speed Il the Result of Caro-
fa1 Training aud breeding.

In so far as a creature endowed with
life can owe its existence to human
hands, the racehorse may be said to
be man-made, remarks the n. Y. AdUer-
ttser. Horses were an important factor
in early nomadic life. and were cher
ished by their owners; and the pro-
gress of civilization, So far from break
ing this bond, has apparently strength
ened it. The animal is not now so es-
sential TO human welfare and con-
venience; scierce has furnished other
means of transportation, and is in a
fair way to take all the heavy loads
from his back; but in the degree that
he ceases to be mere beast of burden
he is transformed into source of en-
tertainment and pleasure.
From rough and hardy creature,
subsisting on such rations as chance
and convenience might provide, and
suffering the hardships and hazards
of toll and adventure he has gradual
ly evolved into combination of nerves.
intelligence, and trained muscle that
has but family likeness to his early
progenitors.
1t differs from them in the same
measure that the American Beauty or
the La France rose differs from the
little tive-petaled pink flower that
blooms by the roadside. Like those
floral triumphs, he is a product of
scientific culture. 1t is not chance
that has given him that peculiar build.
that slenderness and lightness that to
the expert mean speed. His masters
have wanted these developments, and
they have studied sire aud dam and
the pedigrees of each until they could
name in advance the qualities of the
offspring. And having secured horse
that has within him the possibilities of
outdoing his ancestors, they treat him
as a precious belonging. as indeed he
is.
A groom is always in attendance.
He is brushed and combed until his
coat is like satin; he is fed and housed
and exercised with as much care for
his comfort as for chlld's. Royalty
itself is not looked after with more So
licitude.
The attention that ancient Greeks
used to give to their own bodily train
ing is given by modern men to the
racehorse, and, as result, he is
marvel of perfection. And after all
this? Why. when he has been tested
and his pace tried he is put upon the
race track. where his beauty and
grace and swiftness please the sight

not so severe is further evidenced by
the fact that the mountains of Mon

good growth of timber up to and in

The historian who writes OF the adj
vance of civilization notes the evolution
of roads, the change from foot paths to
lanes, from turnpkcs to paved streets,
and lastly TO tracks of steel rails. Road
making is one Of the turning points in
the upward march OF nations, and the
public highway is now an index TO the
character and development of cOun-
try.
The railroad or railway is a thing
Of the nineteenth century. For all the
long centuries of the past men went
about afoot, on the backs of animals, or
in rude vehicles dragged along over
uneven and muddy roads or pathlcss
wastes In the far north the reindeer
still draws his masters rude sled over
the snow and ice, the Chinese continue
TO tote" each other about in palan-
gums or sedan chairs, and the Arab
still urges the patient camel OYER the
hot sands of the traCklcsS Sahara.
Horses of iron and steam, and cars har-
messed to lightning are entirely too
modern for the Chinaman, the Esqui-
mau and Bcdouin however ancient
their respective civilizations.
The history Of railroad making, if
properly written, would be a foremost
chapter in the enlightened story Of the
progress of civilization AT the present
time the broad claim can be made that
wherever civization has advanced far
thcst there the wagon roads and rail
roads are most plentiful.
The American republic has much to
boast of in this respect, and nothing
reveals its bigncss and development
more than the recent census bulletin,
wherein it is shown that in having IO3,-
597 out Of S7O,2SI miles of track ON
