More Sidetracks to be Built.

I'VE have received instruction to
build 100000 worth of new side
tracks on this division alone said
Resident Engineer Robinson yester
day, land we will push this work as
fast as possible, in order to have
them ready in time to use when the
summer rush of traffic begins, says
the Sacramento Record Union.
These sidetracks will be scattered
all along the division at the various
passing points for trains in the yards
and wherever else they are required.
In addition to this we will practically
reconstruct the line between Reno
and Salt Lake or Ogden, and will
make it the best road in the United
States. All this extra work is de-
manded by the increased traffic. and
if these improvements are not made
and made at once. we would be unable
to handle the tremendous business
that will be offered. The road will
now have a maximum grade of twenty
one feet, with three degree curves
throughout.
I'VE have laid out a practical route
from Immigrant Gap to Truckee. and
it includes tunnel several miles in
| length, and are only awaiting the nee
essary money to begin work on its
construction. We are also ,construc
ting two additional oil tanks near the
roundhouse in Sacramento, each to
have a capacity of 100000 gallons

Three women were passing through
Flatbush avenue some distance apart
The last one, who was the poorest
dressed Of the three, saw a dollar bill
on the sidewalk. She picked it up with
little gasp of joy, which was quickly
chased away by look of doubt This
was succeeded by a sigh of determine
ton, and she quickened her steps until
she overlook the woman in front Of
her. Here, you dropped this" she
said, putting the bill hurriedly into the
woman's hand. as if she feared her
purpose would weaken.
The second woman took it mechan-
ically and started to put it in her pock-
etbook. BY this time the woman just
in advance turned and, hearing the
finder murmuring her confession, said,
''It's mine" and coolly took it from the
woman who was putting it in her
purse. The two were glaring at each
other as the poorly dressed woman
walked on. Il wonder if it really was
not mine as much as any one's," she
said.-New York Press.

Children md Crime.

With regard to capital crimes, by the
years was established for the age Of
possible discretion, when first the I'M
Outstanding might open," and thence
till the offender was fourteen it was
''about the age of puberty" in which
he might or might not be guilty Of a
crime, according to his natural capacity
or incapacity. Under the age of twelve
II was held that he could not be guilty
in will, neither after fourteen could he
be supposed to be innocent
Since the time of Edward III. the
law appears to have been more de-
sirous to measure the capacity of doing
III or contracting guilt by the delin-
Quent's understanding and judgment
rather than by any specific age after
the age of seven was reached. Under
seven years of age an infant cannot be
guilty of felony, for then, as Black
stone says, felonious discretion is al
most an impossibility in nature, but at
eight years old he may be guilty of
felony.
The same author says that under
fourteen, though an infant shall be,
prima facie, adjudged to be doll in
capax, yet if it appear to the court and
jury that he was doll capax and could
discern between good and evil he may
be convicted and suffer death.-London

This charge was never fulfilled. She

the row began. Joseph Harper had

some gang of counterfeiters years be-

square up old scores.
OF course the "legatees' were boiling
over with indignation, and of course
the outsiders" were tickled to death,
and the row did not cease until doors
were unhinged, windows smashed and
fences leyeled. There are some still
living who speak of the dead man with
show of respect, but there are others
who never hear his name mentioned

GIadstone ana Irving.

Mr.. Gladstone was a great admirer
of and never missed an opportunity of
seeing Irving in one of his great char
acters. 1t CHANGED that after being
present at the first night of Ravens

had occasion to post off to Edinburgh
to chronicle the proceedings in the
penultimate Midlothian campaign. At
dinner on the night of my arrival l
had the good fortune to find myself
seated next to Mr.. Gladstone, says a
writer in Chambers Journal.
1t was time of great storm and
stress in the political world. Mr.. Glad
stone was leading the attack upon the
government which resulted in its de-
feat at the general election two years
later. When he heard that had been
at the first night of 'Ravenswood," all
other topics were set aside. He over
whelmed me with a torrent of ques-
tons as to how Irving had worked out
particular episodes.
! remembered he was particularly
anxious to know how the final scene,
where the hat of the drowned Ravens
wood is found forlorn on the sands,
was staged. He told me that of all
SCOTS novels he most admired 1.-THE
Bride of Lammermoor."

The horse in war is expensive, fragile

is as bulky as himself. He requires an
expert to keep him efficient under hard
work and miracle to keep him alive
under heavy fire. He must be watched
and guarded more carefully than the
lines of communication both in action
and in camp. He is coward. The race
of them that snorted cha! hal among
the trumpets, the noise Of the captains
and the shouting" is dead. if it ever
lived at all outside the inspired mind
of the plague stricken poet. He is a
traitor and will desert to the enemy at
the first opportunity, probably with
three days rations in his saddlebags
and a useful rifle in the bucket.-Spec-

Joe Harper was an old bachelor. He
owned and worked a little farm and
kept house for himself, and he had lit.
tie desire for the company of others. II
was said of him that he. never was
known to laugh. and anything in the
way Of joke flung at him as he plod-
ded his way to town or back home
again was utterly thrown away. OF
course everybody held him up to con-
tempt or ridicule.
He had been living thus for ten years
when one day in hollow tree on his
own farm he found a great heap Of
money. There was such weight that he
had to borrow a neighbours horse and
wagon to convey it to the bank in the
town. He tried to be very secret about
it, but the matter became the gossip OF
the county. Neither Joe nor the banker
would tell what the sum was, but peo-
