LIE BON CHEF.
By Anne NJ. Prescott
PART |.

The old Chef had always, since
his sorrow, had a desire to get back
to the neighborhood of his boy
hoods life, close to the foothills Of
the mountains of the sunny south
to buy little vineyard and farming
land and to make bread for the
countryside. To found home
and a business to transmit to
Jacques, whenever his work should
be over was his aim. He was
man of exceptionally fine parts
this rare and brave old Chef.
When ne had found spot to
suit him. started his ovens and
opened the doors of the pretty
boutique he thought the time
was ripe to bring his son a lad of
now eighteen years, to be his ap-
prentice, and helper in his daily
toil-his young friend and conf
dante. And JOY he proved to that
fond fathers lonely life. He now
came into that old Chefs life from
morning to night, as a strain of
sweetest music. With energy and
happy spirit he helped to make the
place indeed blossom with color and
with life. The COWS, the dogs the
cats and the k ittens, the fowls, the
linnets, the doves, the lilacs' the
white swans and many another must
all be part and parcel of their new
home. The lad of eighteen, strong
and full of cheer came into
that fathers work like an in
spiration-a jnbilate! When he
would come in'after having been the
rounds with the little cart, every
basket empty of its delicate rolls,
and bringing an order for many
patties and pastries for party on
the Long Road, or an order from
the ladies of the old chateau, on the
mountain-side, to be filled that
night, how he would whistle and
sing and talk to the linnet, and turn
to work and to baking, as if life held
only sweetest things for them. The
old Chef would catch some of his
spirit and would set to work to do
his best, ALWAYS sure to end by max
ing some dainty conceit of sugar,
which he would place on the top of
the order as abon bouche for the
dear friends; and they would de-
clare to Jacques that there were
never such pies outside of Paris it

he has been for several weeks past on d
visit to bis family. "Wednesday morning

Jeffries on the Goth day Of March next
before the Hayes Valley athletic club OF

A Constitutional
Convention.

A good deal of work is being mapped
out for the incoming legislature by the
press Of the State. If all the sugges-
tions are taken up and acted upon, the
legislature will be in session until the
Fourth Of July. There is one matter,
however, that the legislature should
consider and place upon the Statute
books and that is an Act calling con-
stltutional convention to revise and SIM
plify the organic law of the State. This
question has been submitted to the peo-
pie several times within the last twenty
years and has always received majority
of their votes, but through some legal
technically in submitting the propo-
sition or canvassing the vote the will OF
the majority was set aside. The last
legislature passed an Act calling con
vention, but 1t was vetoed by Governor
Sadler The present legislature should
guard against the mistake of its prcde-
cessors and pass an Act that will receive
the approval Of Governor Sparks and
stand the test Of the courts.

Provided for Their
Children.

Nevada, in proportion to population,
has the largest school fund of any Of
the States. There is now in the treas
ury of that commonwealth S1.6I2,00O,
the greater part Of which is school
money This sum is equivalent to a
per capita of nearly $40, or a third moro
than the per capita wealth in money OF
the entire United States. When Nevada
was highly prosperous, and the mines OF
Virginia City, Austin, Eureka and Ham
ilton were producing millions IN gold,
silver aud lead, there were public men
thoughtful enough to obtain legislation
imposing a bullion tax which was set
aside for a school fund, and, in addition,
sales from State school lands swelled
the total to be applied to education, with
the result that the greatest school treas
ury in the country was obtained, most OF
the money being invested in government
and State bonds. Whatever may be
said in derogation OF the politicians of
our neighbors, certain it is that in legis.
lating for the intellectual advancement
OF their children they have shown high
degree OF common sense and set an ex
ample which might DO emulated to ad-
vantage by other sections of the country

Manager Agler has given out the in-
formation that beginning with June 1st.
1903, or thereabouts, Superintendent j.
S. Noble will have his jurisdiction ex-
tended westward to Reno at which
point the Salt Lake Division will terini-
nate.
Freight crews will then run from Car
lin to Winnemucca and Winnemucca to
Reno while the runs for the passenger
men will be split into two districts with
Ogden as the home terminal fer district
number one and Reno the home termi-
nal for district number two.
While Manager Agler is in a position
to know approximately when the Wads-
worth Reno cutoff will be completed
and ready for the operation of traffic
over it, the appearances are extremely
doubtful for SO early an entrance into
Neyada's largest city.
The Pacific Improvement Company
has encountered obstacles that have
been detrimental to the work allotted
the reconstruction department Pros
peeting work at Hayfed showed geologi.
cal indications for a good bed Of gravel
and the top layer Of each was at once
removed for the opening of pit. The
massive steam shovel excavated rapidly
but found a poor quality of gravel aud
encountered large boulders encased in
the strata which impeded the work Of
the shovel.
Renoites are anxiously waiting with
outstretched arms TO receive into their
midst the multitude of people that will
accompany the entrance OF the Southern
Pacific Company.
East of this point tho new grade is
completed from Golconda To Palisade
with the exception of few places and
ready for the laying OF steel and putting
in the bridge material. Rumor has it.
and well founded too, that Chief En-
gineer Hood has issued instructions for
the entrance into Palisade from the west
through Telegraph canyon that would
be much more acceptable than over the
lately constructed grade. The new work
will probably witness the construction
of short tunnel.
Material yards have been made at
Pallsade, Mosel and Stone House where
vast amount of construction material
is being stored at each point and with
the opening of the spring season several
work trains will lie operated along the
new line with the above named points
as construction headquarters.
Large gangs of laborcrs will be oper-

pansion which France is at present
contemplating in the dark continent in
competition with Britain.
NJ. jacques Balsan, the ~balloonist,
has also returned to France and has
furnished a short account of his aerial
voyage FROM Paris to a small town in
Hungary beyond Lake Balaton, which
is So miles southwest of Buda-Pesth.
He accomplished this sky trip with
NJ. Abel Corot, the distance %traversec
being estimated at something over
1900 kilometers, or S07 miles. The
time taken was 80 hours. This voyage
does not beat the record made by NM.
De la Vauix and de Saint-Victor, who
went to Kieff, in Russia distance
Of 1000 kilometers, or 1,179 miles-in
SO miles.
The leader of this daring aerial ex-
petition, accomplished in midwinter,
and without fear of frost, fog or snow,
NJ. Jacques Balsan, is 35 years old, and
descends on the maternal side from the
famous Surgeon Dupuytren. He is
rich, and has had many adventures by
land and sea. He once commanded a
Gillian gunboat, and made several voy-
ages of exploration for the Gillian
government. After having Travelled all
over the world NJ. Balsan returned to
Paris and took part in the aeronautic
competitions organized in connection
with the exhibition in 1900.
He was in the long-distance trip in
which NM. De la Nauix and De Saint
Victor distinguished themselves, but
he had to descend in Prussia, near the
Muscovite frontier. The failure did
not discourage NJ. Balsan in the least,
and he seems determined to go on bal
looming until he achieved something
wonderful in the line. His present
~aerostat, the st. Louis, was construct
ed for him in 1900 by Louis GODDARD,
and he has already made 10 trips in it
and received many prizes. Last year,
for instance, NJ. Balsan won the Lee
baudy prize at bordeaux.
