A SURE GO.
The Los Angeles and San Pedro Will
Run Next January.

Run Next January.
The Salt Lake Herald chronicles the
fact that the Los Angeles and San
Pedro railroad will be in working
order by the first of January. While
the Salt Lake and Utah people are
getting up and doing considerable hol
lering Nevada also has a celebration
coming. as the new road means the
opening up of great territory and
her citrus lands will show what is in
side of the borders. The mining IN
dustry alone that the new road will
open will do more to bring Southern
Nevada to the front than any one more
that has been made in quarter OF
century.
The Herald publishes the following:
By January 1, 1905, trains will be
running over the San Pedro, Los An
geles and Salt Lake railroad from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles. This is not
, mere guess work. 1t is the prediction
/ confidentially made by one Of the dir
! ectors of the road. The official has
made CAREFUL study of the ground
that remains to be covered and the dill
ficulties that must be surmounted be-
fore the last rail can be laid. He
adds to the prediction already SCI
forth statement to the effect that
! by September 1 of this year the gap
! will be so narrow that it will be posi-
BILE to cover it in one day by stage.
This is the sort of news that Salt
Lake and Los Angeles people have
! been looking for. The announcement
that a dream of many years is about
to be realized seems almost too GOOD
to be true. But it is true as those
who have seen the rushing of the work
at both of the present terminals are
ready to testify. Grading is being
done IS fast as men and teams can
do it. rails are being laid and spiked
to the ties underneath them. every
i detail of construction is going for
ward as rapidly as possible. 1t may
not be too early to begin thinking
about the celebration we ought to
have here when the first train from
Los Angeles arrives in Salt Lake.
The trip from Salt Lake to Los An
geles now occupies As hours. When the
new road is completed the same trip
will require only "a hours at the out

Lake. 1t will mean increased business
and from the coast, and Salt Lake
will benefit immensely thereby.

men and eastern mining men, and his

LITTLE ESSAY FOR GIRLS.
Woman Writer Tells How Any Aver
age Young Woman Can Win
a Good Husband.

1t is quite possible that there are some
girls who possess zone of the faults
mentioned hereafter. A perusal of my
little essay, however, will do them no
harm. In fact, it might possibly help
them to guard against developing habits
which are as unbecoming to them as
they are distasteful to friend or ad-
mirer or lover or bridegroom.
To become a faultless girl is, of
course, an impossible task. But every
girl who wishes to appear at her best
and what girl is there who does not?-
must approach as near to that ideal as
she possibly can. 1t is not true, as some
would have us believe, that a girl with
faults will keep them to the end of her
days. They can be remedied by steady
perseverance by any girl who takes a
pride in herself and her 1--WE
are seven" may speak as n having
authority.
One of the most common failings
among girls, is that of making them
selves distasteful to mans eye. Either
they try to improve whatever beauty
nature has bestowed upon them by ex-
travagant artificial means, or, through
envy of the appearance OF other girls.
and because it is the fashion, dress them
selves in all manner of fantastic hats
and costumes, without giving the least
thought as to whether the costume suits
their stature and face and figure or not.
1t is quite true that men like a we'll
groomed, well-dressed woman, but a
woman is not we'll dressed who does not
use a little discretion in the choice OF
her clothes.
Neither is she likely to earn a mans
appreciation by resorting to all the wiles
and arts of complexion specialist and
hair-dye artist. These only produce an
illusion of beauty, which is quickly
seen through.
My experience is that a man likes to
see a girl dress neatly, quietly and be-
comingly, no matter if her apparel be
not of the latest fashion. He uncon-
~sciously to himself admires the suitable
color and style" which shows off a girl
to the best advantage. He hates to see
a girl make a positive scarecrow OF her.
self, simply because of her desire to be
in the fashion, as much as he hates to see
her make a liberal use of paint and pow
der to heighten the color OF her complex

FINEST PALACE IN PARIS.
It Was Planned by Count Boni Cas-
tellane and Built with his
Wife's Money.

Count De Castellane may not be q
great statesman, but he Is decidedly
a man of cultivated mind and efin
taste. And these elements Of discern
ment and true elegance, backed by I'M
told millions, enabled him to set up a
palace the equal of any in The world
and far more consistent in the way OF
combining lofty architecture with con-
genial furnishings than any royal resi-
dence of this or other days. s
The great house rises at the juno
ton of two broad avenues near the
Bots de Boulogne, standing entirely by
itself, one of the main charms of a
really beautiful edifice, and Count Cas-
tellane, who by his marriage to the
former Miss Anna Gould, OF New York,
gained control of a vast fortune, spen.

which, like that of many a majesty,
remains unfinished for want OF funds,

staircase in France, the land Of great

How Bad Boy Was Converted.

Two Jersey City girls were innocent

The two girls offered a splendid oppor-

various vile epithets at them. There
was a hurried consultation, and the two
girls smiled at the bad boy. He stopped
calling names and stared at them.
The girls talked excitedly. Come
over here!" they called, sweetly.
They were such nice girls that there
was no reason why he should not
obey; besides he was curious. He came
over. With a rush they bounced on
him, threw him down and sat on him.

Prayer. Suffering with rage, the bad

When they approached it turned up

famished that it could hardly stand.
Holcom was about to dispatch the loup-
c%ervier, when the idea of capturing it
occurred to him. Manice brought a cow
blanket, which Holcom threw over the
weakened animal; and with no great
risk or exertion they were able to pick
it up and carry it into the barn.
Although, ordinarily, the lynx is n
of the ~fiercest and most intractable of liy-
ing creatures, this one offered little re-
~sistance. and was put in a high-sided
stall, where they confined it by mailing
Stats across the entrance. They gave
the loup-cervier a bed of hay, and threw
in bones and scraps of deer meat for it
to eat. It's hunger was Unsuitable.
Under the influence of food and
warmth its apparent meekness under

Manice approached the Stats, even when

The children were in great fear lest
the animal might break out in the night
and kill their stock; and they were now
heartily sorry that they had not dis
patched it.
During the eight days that elapsed be-

Manice passed through every possible
phase of anxiety and worry over their
loup-cervier. Nor were their troubles
at an, end when their father and mother
came back.
Finally the lynx was sold to a trader
| at Three Rivers, who had made a market
for it in Montreal. With much difficulty
it was put in a crate and shipped by rail;
but Holcom learned afterward that it had
broken out of the crate and given the
trainmen so much trouble that, on
stopping at a way station. they opened
the car door and let it go.-Youth's Com

HOLE-BORiNG WAS HIS FAD.
Crazy Flicker Addicted to Drilling In
to Iron Pipes and Similar
Strange Things.

Mr.. Burroughs somewhere has said
that if the flicker ever goes crazy he
will go crazy boring holes. Now l

a about birds and beasts, and so for
, good many years | have confidently
expected that if ever l found a crazy
flicker | should find him, as Mr.. Bur-

OF course l never expected to find a

family is queer and, indeed, somewhat
crack-brained.

insane flicker; and he was boring holes

He appeared last spring in Newton, Il
beautiful suburb of Boston. 1t was in

hole is one of his six common New
England names), inheriting a delicate

rain pipe. Doubtless he thought he

CATCHING A LoUP-cERVIER.
Two Children Have Thrilling Expe-
rience in q Farm House In
Quebec, Canada.

A trip to Quebec had taken the parents
of Holcom Parett and his sister Manice,
aged respectively 10 and Is years, away
from home, and the children were left
alone in the farmhouse during several
days of bitter winter weather.
One very cold winter morning Man
ice, looking out of the window, saw an
animal digging in the drift near the cor
ner of the barn. "Oh, come and see this
queer-looking dog!" she cried. He is
digging up old Molly" Old Molly was a
hen that had died.
But Holcom knew that 1t was not a
dog. Presently it turned, and he saw
it's large, round head, tasseled ears and
wild, fierce eyes. He knew then that it
was a "lucivee," or lynx.
Both Holcom and Manice were now
much concerned lest the creature should
get into the barn and kill their five cos
sets. Hocom had no weapon but a light
ak and an old bayonet.
He fixed the bayonet on the end OF a
quilting pole" gave it to Manice, and
took the AK. Then they sailed forth.

Long Fight with a Salmon.

Edward Spaeth. treasurer of a New
York savings bank, delights to tell his
friends of a lengthy battle with an eight
pound salmon which occurred nearly a
year ago. and in which Mr.. Spaeth
proved the victor. The incident took
place last June. when a party of friends
we're visiting in Maine and fishing In
Salmon lake. Mr.. Spaeth had landed
several salmon before hooking the large
one, and on each occasion had spent
nearly an hour in landing them. His
trouble began, however, at $40 o'clock
in the afternoon, when he felt a hard tug
at his line. The fish was unusually Wig
orous, and when nearly within reach of
the net would create such a disturbance
that more line had to be given him.
This was kept up all that night, while
Mr.. Spaeth was furnished his meals by
his friends. 1t was 6:18 o'clock the next
morning that the salmon was landed.
The battle" endured exactly Is hours

the Trianon example in outline, but

In his house all is real, all is valuable,
all is history.
There are collectors priding them>
selves upon their maps full of written
autographs. Count Castellane filled
his hundred-room house with auto
graph furniture. Each mantelpiece
and tabouret, each chair, table, desk,
sofa or music stand bears the signel
of some maker of the eighteenth CEN
fury. who worked for kings and
princes only, giving each customer a
unique article that he would not think
of duplicating for some one else, no
matter what price was offered. In
those days artisans had character and
individuality and a rich art lover was
able to secure pieces that his neighbor
could not. There was joy in collecting
then and in creating no machinery to
TURF out works of s%culpturing; wood
carvers had it all their own way and
originality counted with jewelers. no
less than with carpenters and black
smiths. These unique pieces OF furni-
ture in the Castellane palace are
works of art, everyone of them. One
might go curiosity-huntipg for years
before finding a single duplicate.
Countess Annals boudoir is the quin-
tessence of refined eighteenth century
taste. No princess of the blood con-
temporary to the magnificent Louis
boosted of a more splendid and more
elegant apartment. A room like that
one involuntarily associates with La
Pompadour, Marie A~ntoinette, Princess
Lamballe and other great and smart
ladies of that picturesque period.
The counts bathroom is another
gem. The walls are covered with
drawings and water colors by French
masters of the eighteenth century.
To sum up, the Castellane place
legitimately represents the power of
money used to create splendor welded
to art. Despite it's ~lavishness, | am
certain there is not a franc wasted.
The Castellanes bought the best and
the richest that money can buy, but
good taste and the sense of the fitness
of things outweigh mere monetary
considerations. or passion for display.
