From the San Francisco Argonaut
e. A. Sothern Of "Dundreary" fame
was once dining at Portsmouth at a
regimental mess. After dinner one OF
the officers asked Sothern to give them
recitation. Now Sothern would not
tolerate being treated as an entertain

They pressed him. He hotly declined.
Still they would take no denial. At

had never acted it better. They were
delighted until, springing to his feet,
he made his wild tipsy exit just as he
did on the stage, and dragged the cloth
off the table and with it all the regi-
ment's priced dessert china and de-
canters and glasses, etc. Thereupon
he calmly resumed mis- seat, but there
after Sothern diued no more with that

eAeY AN THE LOCOMOTIVE.
Three-Year-old's Trip Alone on al
Engine RunDlng WlId.

"I can run an engine like papa
said little three-year-old Fred Evans
as he was lifted down from the loco.
motive of the st. Johns motor line
at Albina, Oregon, a few days ago.
He had mounted the engine at st.
Johns, pulled open the throttle and
remained ON the seat alone on mad
ride of seven miles. The young en-.
gineer is the son of W. B. Evans, Of
st. Johns, an engineer on the motor
line. He had often been on the en-
gine, and his father had explained to
him how the lever is pulled and the
wheels started moving.
The engine lies over an hour at st,
Johns, just by the water tank, and
during this time, while Mr.. Evans
was at home at lunch, little Fred
walked down to the engine, mounted
the seat and opened the throttle wide.
The machine was full of coal and
water, and was ready for the road,
Several people saw the boy start, but
no one was near enough to catch the
engine. The news was at ence told
to Mr.. Evans, and he reached the
track just in time to see the locomo.
tive, with his boy on board, disappear
. around a curve. The father was wild
with grief and fear, and the boys
mother was almost prostrated.
The news spread like wild fire, and
the whole town turned out. Excite
ment was intense, women and chill
dren cried and men offered sugges-
tions. Master Mechanic Michael F.
Brady was at that end of the line and
at once began to telephone to stations
along the line. Portsmouth and
Peninsular were notified, and men at
these points tried to board the engine
as it dashed by, bat its speed was too
great. Mr.. Brady also notified the
Office at Albina, and a party of men
ran out the line northward to meet
the wild engine. In coming up the
long grade toward Albina, the steam
had died down q little, but the regis.
ter still showed eighty pounds. John
Woods, a motorman on the City and
Suburban Railway, was the first man
to meet the engine. He caught the
hand rail and swung up, but in doing
so he was dragged sixty or seventy,
Ave feet. He at ence turned off the
steam. and the engine slowed down
and stopped. 1t was then young Fred
made the remark concerning his ability
as an engine-driver.
The boy was not scared at all, but
seemed rather proud of his feat.
When the engine first dashed out OF
st, Johns he was frightened, and as
he came through Portsmouth like a
shot out guu he was yelling Justify
for mama" After coming several
miles, however, he again became
brave and held his position on the seat
with composure, with his hand on the
lever, like veteran.
The engine was stopped in front Of
the home of DR.. Davis, on Commercial
street, and was quickly run back to
st. Johns by Mr.. Woods with the boy
Fred still on board. Mr.. Woods said
his success in boarding the engine was
q surprise to him, as we'll as every one
else, as its speed was still consider.
able. The engine had made the run
from st. Johns to Albina in less than
hall an hour.
In the meantime the news Of the
rescue had been sent by telephone to
the frightened parents, and for the
remainder of the day there was greaS
Joy in all st. Johns.

The Unexplained Fascination of Life on
the Cattle Ranches.
Life on Texas cattle ranch has
claimed two more devotees from cul-
sured homes in the East. Wendall A.
Van Hook and William G. Theurer,
members of wealthy Pittsburg fami-
lies, passed through New Orleans re-
,ently on their way to Uvalde, Texas,
sn the Southern Pacific.
IT am going for my health" said
Mr.. Van Hook, "and Theurer is 60
ing to keep me company. That is
about the conditions on which we de-
sert the East and take to the open-air
life of the plains"
Both these young men are well
read, college educated and refined
Pennsylvanians and in their taking
to cattle punching in Texas turks q
story of strange and peculiar interest
that fits the case of hundreds Of others
who leave the Eastern centres Of
learning and commence to become
plain, everyday cattlemen on the
windy stock reserves Of the West.
Hundreds of young men from the
East are leaving their homes for
ranch life," suggested Mr.. Van Hook.
"There seems to be sort of romantic
fascination about the life that leads
them on"
"'How do they manage TO secure
these jobs, as usual thing9" was
asked.
Usually by chance, or happen-so,
except where Eastern men are in.
terested in stock ranches financially.
In Texas for instance, large per
cent. of the stock farms are owned by
Eastern capitalists, who reside in
New York or elsewhere over there.
They have sons who wish to try the
experience, or else their friends have
sons who make application. Thus
she possibility of securing a position
is extended ad infnitum. In our
case we have not made definite ar
rangements, but know some ranch
men, and think it will be all right"
"Do many of the Eastern boys re-
main in the business?"
"More than you would ever think.
They get out there and are charmed
with the rough, easy-going existence,
far away from swallow-tail coats aud
social functions. They become enam-
ored with the existence, and would
not leave it for anything in the world.
1 should say large per cent. of the
young fellows remain on the plains,
endeared to the flannel shirts, the
leather leggins, high-topped boots
and cowboy hat. ."
"But are they successful as cattle
raisers?
"I know of many who have become
wealthy at it in q few years. The
Easton boys of Pittsburg went to a
ranch near Denver, COL, one time
just for the experience, and in a short
time they owned an immense place Of
their own, with thousands of head OF
cattle. Their ranch is now a popular
resort for Pittsburghers to spend va.
cations and get taste of Western life
/ have known as high as fifty fellows
to be at the Eaton ranches at a single
time. Theurer and think we will
like it at Uvalde, and t believe we
may stay some time"
