BY SCHOONER" TO CALIFORNIA.
Primitive Style Of Crossing the Plains
to Be Revived.

Eugene W. Reed, with his wife and
five children, left Chicago recently on a
journey cro the continent In a COW
cred wagon. Mr.. Reed is by trade a
barber, but too close confinement at his
work has injured and threatens to UNI
dermine his health, SO he has given it
up, and will follow the old forty
miner" trail across the plains and ove
the Rockies for the 5000 miles OF wind
ing road that the gold seekers covered
a half century ago, says the Chicago
Tribune.
The wagon in which the "trip Is to be
made is similar in nearly all particulars
to the prairie schooners 50 common in
the early days of the great west. 1t is
five feet wide, Is feet long, and the box
stands six feet from the ground. Over
it is the canvas cover of the prairie
schooner, windowless, and with open
ends covered by curtains. in the wagon
will be stored the bedding, camp fur
niture, and tents. for the family expects
to camp out" at every stop. Three
tents will be carried-two for the use
of the family and one for the horses,
five of which are to be used.
The trip. Mr.. Reed figures, will take
about ten months, and IT is his inten.
ton to carry in the schooner" and a
smaller wagon everything which will
be needed during that time. There will
be a hunting outfit and a supply of fish.
ing tackle, by means OF which a sup
ply Of fresh meat is to be obtained, a
small library, mostly composed of
school books for the children, whose
ages vary from 5 to 10 years, and a
sewing machine and writing desk for
Mrs. Reed.
The road to be followed ia the old
Santa Fe and Albuquerque trail, by
which the gold miners travelled on their
way to Southern California Los
Angeles is the objective point, and the
road leads through St. Louis, the great
starting place for the pioneers of 40,
Arkansas, Indian Territory, Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona 1t crosses
the Mojave desert along the Atlantic
and Pacific railway, where the path ia
still marked by the white bones Of cat.
tie and horses which persisted there in
the days of the early emigrants, and
reaches at last the fertile country on
the further slope Of the Rocky noun
tains. 1t will not be Mr.. Reeds first
experience Of the plains, for he has al,
ready spent four years in the west, and
has made an overland trip from Chey>
enne to Deadwood.

ed to those who say that this is not in
any sense an agricultural country. The
Gillespies, who made this shipment,
have steadfastly maintained that no
inner small grain can be raised on earth
than that produced on the Laramie

go right on proving their remarks to be
true. The time is not far distant when

the train? Well, he didn't know Tin
ou~trageously bad E%nglishJ: nc played
a little himself one in a while, and
had rather a fair fiddle with him. The
long-haired man accented the fiddle"
rather curiously. But the railroad men
were overjoyed. Would he play for
them to dance with their wives and
~sweethearts? Certainly! Did he know
dance music' Well. some.
All Of the stalled passengers were in
vited to the dance, and they all went.
A good many of them could not get in.
The baggily-clothed fiddler turned up
in good time. The pianist was waiting
for him. So was the railroad dance
committee, one of the members OF
which slipped SO in %one-dollar bills in
to the fiddler's hand as payment in ad-
vance for the evenings work. 1t was
smilingly accepted. The dance began.
The fireman's wife, who played the
lin and piano tune book, and turned
10 the lancers. She told the fiddler,
at the end OF the first dance, that he did
pretty well, only he went too fast. Then
there was a waltz. The fiddler was in
formed by his accompanies that he was
getting along finely, and everybody in
the room began to prick up his ears at
he sweetness of the violin music, al
though the dances were common
enough and tawdry enough.
Another waltZ-the Beautiful Blue
Danube" All of the dancers on the
hoor stopped dead at the first bar, and
the travellers with cultivated musical
ears moved close to the piano. The
pianist ceased. She wished to listen.
The violin music was miraculous. The
player swayed from side to side as he
phrased. He appeared to be oblivious
of his surroundings. He improvised
variations of inspiring tenderness. He
out-Straussed Strauss. His violin sang
%thrcbbed with passion. When the last
note died away the people in the hall
appeared to be in a dream. All but

THE IMPROMPTU FIDDLER.
Fun and Frolic in a Washout on q
Western Railroad.

On St. Patrick's day, 1894, five
through trains, bound both to the east
ward and westward Of the Oregon.
Short Line Of the Union Pacific, were
tied up at Glenn's Ferry, Idaho. They
had been caught between two serious
~washouts, one at Pocatello and the 9TH
er at Indian Creek, three days before,
and had to wait at Glenn's Ferry for
track repairs along the line before they
could proceed. Glenn's Ferry is a bleak
little railroad and sh~eepherders' town
of three or four hundred inhabitants,
situate on a s~agebrush bluf overlook.
ing the u~nspeakably dark and dreary
Snake river, says the Washington
Star.
The five stalled trains carried about
six hundred passengers Of as miscella-
neous a character as could be gotten to-
gether at a carefully selected congress
of types. There were emigrants and
millionaires; soldiers on the move;
dainty women in palace cars and wo-
men bound for Creole and Cripple
Creek in day coaches; miners who kill
ed time during the wait in shooting
magpies circling over the Snake river;
Shoshone Indians travelling to the
limits Of their reservation; well-be-
haved and quiet people, noisy and tu-
multuous people. But all were stuck
alike, and they made the best of it.
Lines Of social demarcation were for
the time erased. All hands mingled
easily on the little station platform and
in the little station waiting room. The
supply Of food on the dining cars gave
out the first day of the hitch, and ev,
erybody was fed, and we'll fed, too, in
the station eating room. They sat
down at the tables in relays, and pa
tiently awaited their turns.
The railroad employees and their
wives were TO give a dance at the lit
tie town hall on st. Patrick's night.

arily employed to fiddle for them had
been switched to another division. In

ness is dull parents find difficulty in plac-
ing their sons in suitable and promising po-
sitions, and. thinking that things may i'm
prove in the course of time, decide to send
their sons to college. where otherwise they
would probably have been put to work in
stead. This is an Interesting theory, and
| am not at all sure that it Is not well
founded. The same state of affairs seems
to me to hold with reference to our public
schools. To my mind this is one of the
most promising features of the times. It is
a good thing for the public welfare If the
people, when not absolutely compelled to
go to work. take advantage of the educa-
