,rbe Blind Mans whistle.

In Japan the blind carry peculiar
kind of whistle, which they blow as
they pass through the streets, and
people who hear it separate and leave
the pathway clear for them. There
are a great many blind persons in
japan, and if they were to employ the
makeshift of a child or dog to lead
them there would be numerous COM
plications in the narrow streets. When
heard in the dead of night the blind
whistle" has an especially pathetic
and mournful sound.-Golden Penny.

LANE AGAIN SEEKS
TO LEAVE THE CITY
Ex-Brakeman Says That He VIII De-
part if Authorities Dismiss Case
Against Him.


OAKLAND, March 1T. c. Lane,
the Southern Pacific brakeman that
created a disturbance in the offices
of Division Superintendent Palmer at
the Oakland mole last week and
threatened a. w. Baker. assistant su-
perintendent. with a pistol, is again
in the tolls of the law and is schem-
ing how to get out. He was let go
last week on condition that he would
get out of town. He went to Stockton,
but returned to Oakland a few days
ago and was rearrested.
He was taken before Justice of the
Peace Quinn this morning and pleaded
that he had been drinking heavily,
but that if given another chance he
would not trouble the Southern Pa
cific officials any more. His bond was
fixed at $4,000 and his case put over
until next Wednesday. In the mean
time it is believed that arrangements
can be made for his release.
Lane had his hand crushed while
switching some cars last summer and
the arm had to be amputated. He has
been drinking a great deal since, but
when able to go TO work was given a
position at Tracy as switchman. At
the end of the month he was given
considerable less pay tha he thought
was due him and coming to Oakland
went down to the mole and raised a
disturbance.
The officials believe that he means
TO do them harm and as he has put
himself in their power they are not
going TO be satisfied with anything
less than an agreement on his part
TO leave the county or stand trial for
his offense.

Praise of Homely Women.

Praise of HOmely women.
Pirate not of pretty girls to me
or ruby lips and dreamy eyes,
That beauty cannot cease to be
An ever fresh and sweet surprise;
I care not tho her face be fair
And framed AS in a wreath of curtis
For pretty maids do not care;
sing the praise Of homely girls.
| sing of her whose nose is pug.
Though even to the si''e tits tipped.
Whose figure. like old Omar's jug
Which mourned the potter's hand had
slipped;
And say you that she squints bit?
What odds? And in her speaking
halts?
Nay, girls who squint possess the wit
To sQuint mans most glaring faults.
A dainty. slender foot, no doubt,
Is pleasing, when all's said and done.
But husbands later find it out
That larger feet are best to run
Their little errands, fetch their shoes
When home they come Mt days demise.
For dainty feet possess no wings
Big footed girls are for the wise.
The pearly. peachblow cheek has fears
Lest cooking spoils its lovely tint.
Cernlean eyes dare shed no tears,
Or show Of sympathy hint;
The hand of Venus smooths no brow.
Unless it be a dukes or earl's-
And so when You would choose frau
do not neglect the homely girls.

Seattle, Oct. 12.-W. W. Belvin,
president of the American British FL
nance Company, has returned from
Olympia with the information that
the Port Angeles Eastern railroad has
passed into the hands of his company
and is now owned and controlled by
that corporation. The transfer of the
road and all of its holdings in Port An
geles commenced Saturday and was com
pleted yesterday.
The object of the Americana British
Finance Company in securing the Port
Angeles Eastern. as announced by Pres
ident Belvin a few days ago, is to ex-
tend the road from Junction city to
Portland and esta blish at Port Angeles
one of the most important seaports

plates building through the timber dis.
tricts of Clallam county, then along
Hoods canal, thence to some point near
Vancouver, Wash, where it will ferry
across the Columbia to the Oregon side
and then run into Portland. 1t is an
nounced that the road will connect
with three transcontinelnta lines after
its completion, and will supply the
means by which these roads can reach
a deep sea port at Port Angeles.
The corporation, it is understood,
has secured all its right of way with
the exception of that between Olympia
and Fulton. The title to the old Union
Pacific grade between these two points
is involved legally. and the new COM
pany has surveyed an independent
route. Gen. Metcalfe and Attorney
Trumbull have been left in Olympia
and Fulton. 1t is announced that if
title to the route cannot be secured in
any other way condemnation proceed
ings will be instituted Immediately.
Mr.. Belvin states that he proposes
to have his road into Portland by jan
uary /, 1906, and will commence build
ing operations just as soon as the right

TORPEDO BOATS IN WRECK.
Believed to Have Been Work of
Russian SDV.

Z ST. Paul, Oct. tl2.-A special to1 the
Dispatch from Minot, N. d., says:
Two knocked down torpedo boats,
en- route over the Great Northern to
: cattle, have been wrecked near Tow
ner, through the breaking of the for
ward journal on the truck containing
part of one of the boats. The train
passed Rugby at an early hour ON a
special schedule following the Great
Northern flyer.
1t is presumed that the journal was
tempered with at Rugby. During the
summer a number of Russians have
been employed on the section crew at
Towner. Some of them, it is said,
have disappeared. 1t is known that
the Russian and Japanese governments
have had spies in this country, with a
view to watching suspicious shipments
to the Orient.
The wreck did not materially injure
the steel work on the boats, but prac-
tically destroyed the woodwork located
over the front trucks of the car, so
that it will have to be reconstructed.
