" g present in this issue of the RECoRD-
oNIoN The Boyle Of the Wishing Gate.v
tne flrst of series of short stories from
the pen of Edgar L. Wakemen. entitled
1aies of Ten Travellers to appear
weekly in our columns during all of the
present year.
Mr. Wakeman. who has earned world
"loe reputation as the 'poet-traveler," !"
steps from his many years of "Wander-
ihgs' In all civilized countries into the
broader land of romance like an old and
eFer-welcome traveller there. We almost
near the voice of Hawthorne, of Irving
anu OF Dickens in this quaint and mellow
argument TO his tales:
We are Ten Travellers. There is the
merry Traveller, the Morose Traveller, the
clerical Traveller, the Gypsy Traveller,
the Chronic Traveller, the Casual Tray
eler, the Student Traveller, the Aimless
Traveller, the Commercial Traveller, the
Nagabond Traveller. How we came to
know each other is no matter. We meet
at times at my own apartments in a
quaint old inn. Beside a cavernous fire.
place, in which countless now sightless
eyes have for centuries peered, in pleas
ant way we relive our pilgrimlngS, or re-
have touched our hearts and tarried there.
In this old room, with its high ratters,
decrepid floor and little, high dormer
windows like the portfolios of an old
frigate, we seem to become almost one in
this kindly companionship. We are so
much one that when my guests have de-
parted, sit here by the old fireplace,
where friendly voices and presences lin
ger, and set down as best may the pleas
ant tales that have been told"
ANY lover of good literature must read
the "Bogle of the Wishing Gate" with
happy anticipation of the ample feast to
come. The story is a remarkable one,
not only for it's scholarly fidelity to his
tory and tradition, its utilization of a
curious pagan-Christian custom still in
vogue. its exquisite descriptive passages
and its glimpses of quaint humor and
character, but also for that masterful en-
ployment of those literary unities which
measurably leaves upon the mind of the
appreciative reader that sense of enlarged
knowledge and pleasure always derived
from the perusal OF some great work Of
fiction

sin the midst of this loud and long cry
OF hard times it must be quite comfort
ing to hear a cheerful word from any
quarter. One OF the neighboring towns,
at least, has a good word for itself. Lin
coin claims to be the most prosperous
town in Placer County. Its inhabitants
are not, as a rule. wealthy, but they are
honest, industrious, and contented to do
as well as they can till they can do better.
Gladding, Mclean Il Co., with their enor-
nous terra Gotta works here, give the
residents constant employment at good
wages and regular and prompt pay. Lin
coin is death on vagrants and cannot in
vite any more laboring men, but she
takes good care of what she has. Men of
families have the preference.

pany recognize the commercial value of
This town in many ways. One of the re-
cent acts Of said company that is appre-
ciated is an elegant and commodious new
DEPOT with modern furniture and conve-
niences. 1t was occupied January 4,

ployed putting down kind of cement

THE CHURCH'S ELECTRIC SOCIAL,

The ''church," it was more or less in debt,
With obligations that must be met,
And its people scarcely felt elated
At the way its purse was being inflated.
So they met for plans to be devised,
That the needed amount might be realized
Now a part were spiritually inclined.
While others showed the worldly mind.
The chureh's need some thought was
"prayer,"
While Others agreed on "Fancy Fair"
Some even said that the pastor, he
Was not more holy than he might be,
That his baptism was that of john,
Only OF water, and so on. so on.
While some would pray for a grand revival -
Others preferred the social" rival.
They tried then to strike happy mean,
And hit on something that lay between.
SO with the best of "talent local."
Decided to give IAN Electric Social";
The date was taken and advertised,
And sinners as well as saints surprised.
So many wondered twas new to see,
Debts wiped out by electricity.
The night it came the church was crammed,
Back to the doors the aisles were iammed.
When local talent had all got through,
Music. tabeaux, lights red, white and blue,
The saints said, "To God be glory all"
The worldly exclaimed. "After the Ball"
TO the crowd they paid ten cents a shock,
Unit after eleven by the clock.
The "tric" went out and the dimes came in,
In fact TOOK several to take them in
That is the dimes as well as the "crOWd,n y
That was not thought of, of course, aloud ;"
For good cause the money was spent,
And helped successful ''Social event"
The ladies all voted the battery,"
The cutest thing that ever could be;
To make them dance it beat the mice,
This purely mechanical device.
They all declared It eXceled their "teas,"
Their sewing, and all the other "bees."
There the faIrest sisters" all were found,
Writhing, laughing. and jumping around;
That is, of course you must understand,
In the limited space at their command.
For as herein remarked before,
Twas packed in gallery. aisles and floor.
Debts Were raised, but the world" it talks,
Now the pastor rides instead of walks,
And some one said that, upon my word,
Is shocking way TO serve the Lord.
''Satan" in all the annals of Baal.
Never got SO near to the altar rail.
o. that all the shepherds of the Lord,
Would feed his f1Oc6s on His holy word.
In the daily paths of care and strife,
Humanity needs the "Bread of Life"
There are thirsty souls that want to know
The way where the living waters flow.
The coin they would give with their finger
tips
Their hearts would count, and not their lips
Is not our God still the same to-day,
AS when Daniel he ceased not to pray?
Spare not thy hand, SOW the gospel seed,
The Lord Will help in the hour of need.
