There have been few great men in

check him up too short in his sports
and games and eternally instil into
his mind the axiom that a boy should
work, work, work. Very few men ever

The parents of this lad who burned
his feet running through a fire, and
upon arrival home told a narrowing
tale of being tortured by tramps, who.
he said applied burning matches to
his feet, ought not be hard on the
youngster. From accounts in the daily
press it is fair to presume that the
lad and his father had stormy inter
view in the woodshed Had that chap
been my son no such proceeding would
have ever taken place. Because if
that boy is handled right he has
great future. He is destined to be
come one of the greatest writer's of
fiction, if he is only afforded an op-
portunity. Given an education suffi-
cient to fit him for the work of writ
ing stories and his name will be among
the greatest some day. Concealed in
that boys skull lies the brain of an
embryo Dickens. Any lad of that age
who can concoct tales of such a char
acter does not need drubbings; what
he requires is an enlarged field under
proper guidance. This is not written
with any intent at sarcasm. Every
word is meant to be serious. While
the writer does not want to be con-
sidered for one moment, as encourage
ing falsehood in children, the nature
of that boys story is so remarkable
that it merits attention
,S "
Had that lad been one of my Off
spring | should have taken him into
the front parlor and lectured him Sc
riously for a few minutes on the evil
of falsehood. / should have endeav-
cred to have demonstrated to him
that the telling of falsehoods, with de-
liberate attempt to deceive for the ac-
complishment of selfish purpose, is
wrong. After making the impression
am sure | could have made, would
begin casting about for ways and
means of giving him the sort of train
ing calculated to fit him for proper
handling of language, because mark
what is said, if that lad is given half
a chance he will be heard from. He
won't be carrying a hod for living,
or swinging a spike maui on the Sec
ton, If his parents and guardians know
what they are about. That young chap
has talent and it would be too bad to
thresh 1t out of him at this early stage
In life. Given a show that young man

call to mind two brothers in this city,
sons of one of the pioneers. One is a

other is considerably those who do
not know. him well-as a very able
man. He holds a good position and
| is looked up to. Yet | would rather
trust the drunken chap with my honor
or the honor of my family; l would
rather trust him with the keeping of
my money than his so-called respecta-
BILE brother. These boys are about of
an age. The good for nothing chap
was a lusty chap in his youth, full
of animal spirits, ginger, good blood
and boyish enthusiasm. The other
was a weaklng in flesh and muscle.
The first was open hearted, frank and
sunny, the other was different. While
the first lad would rob a melon patch
the second wouldn't and would tell on
his brother who did. The father, a
good old soul, but theological and re-
| ligiOus, attributed the first boys good
the devil. while the others peaching
health and spirits to the influence of
sneaking qualities were attributed to
the influence of the Holy Spirit AS
a result the healthy hearty, happy
boy was snubbed all his life while the
other fellow had his hair stroked and
was told that he was a little angel.
lThe husky young man was whaled
with barrel stave; the other given
jelly on his bread. After time the
husky boy grew to manhood and,
meeting with no encouragement; be-
cause his bounding blood led him into
cavorting around like young colt,
when his fond papa thought he ought
to be listening to moral homilies. as
did his sleek, sleepy-headed, sancti-
monious brother, he naturally drifted
away from home for companionship.
The other youth was adored and as
sisted. Result: The healthy chap has
a reputation for being an all round,
whisky drinking scaramouch, while
the other fellow has succeeded so well
that he has gone through bankruptcy,
beaten hundred creditors out of their
dues and enjoys fair social and buci-
ness position. His views on the Cos
pei are accepted by his seniors and
while his digestion is impaired, his
stomach sour, and his whole makeup
misanthropic in the extreme; while
he never laughs out loud only smiles
family; while he is ever pessimstic
and never optimistic, his doting old
father thinks he has made a success
in bringing up his children and signs
for the future fate of the real boy that
he spoiled early in life.

GOLDFIELD, New, April 14.-Twen-
ty years of hard labor as pros
pector gave Edward Chase $35, 900 in
cash and six days proved sufficient for
Chase to spend the money. During
the six days he did not go near gam
bling table. His wealth poured in
golden stream over the bars of Gold
field during the early part of last
week. The saloons did not take II fast
enough to please Chase, who on the
last of the six days threw his gold
away by the handful until the last coin
was gone. He started out Monday aft
ernoon and was broke last Saturday
night. On Monday last he borrowed
enough money to equip him for an
other prospecting tour and left for the
mountains.
Chase is a well-known prospector of
Nevada. For years he met failure
after failure, but recently he struck
claim which netted him and his partner
$4,000 in cash. Chase Immediately
filled his pockets with gold and endeav-
ored. with fair success, to keep every
drinking man of Goldfeld in state of
intoxication for week The saloons
aided him by charging from s25 to 500
for each order of drinks. Chase de-
clares he has knowledge of other ore
deposits which will bring him another
fortune.

CONTRA COSTA
v WANTSRAILROAD
Prominent Residents of the
San Ramon Valley Plan to
Build a Line Themselves
BACKING is PROMISED
Will Run Over General Line
of Tunnel Road to Reach
Tidewater in Oakland

WALNUT CREEK. April 1.-THE
people of the San Ramon Valley are to
have an electric railroad to connect
themselves with Oakland The first
steps were taken at a mass meeting
held this afternoon in the town hall
In this place, when several prominent
gentlemen, most Of whom have inter
ests in Oakland and San Francisco as
well as this section, promised their
financial support to an electric road to
be built by local capital.
The meeting was called by the Cen
trail Contra Costa Improvement Asso-
citation, and 1t developed into a rail-
road boom before it had progressed
very far. j. G. Anderson of Danville,
the president of the association, was
in the chair and NJ. f. Lebaree was
secretary.
1t was Frank Gavin. manager of the
big Bancroft ranch between Walnut
Creek and Concord, who brought up
the railroad question. Mr. Gavin made
an extended address, In which he told
of the need of better communication
between that section and the bay
region, and he declared that the natur
al line and the most direct one was
from Walnut Creek over the general
line of the tunnel road and into Oak
land, with branching lines that would
separate at Walnut Greek, one going
north to Concord and the other south
to Danville or beyond. Mr.. Gavin told
of the great amount of produce that
could not now be handled at a profit
because of the expensive and unsat-
isfactory methods of communication
with the produce consuming center
around the bay, the long wagon hauls
that are made worse by bad roads, and
the high rates. Mr. Gavin had his
points at his fingers ends, for he had
something to say about the many spec
ulative franchises that had been asked
for over the roads or Contra Costa
County. and he declared that if any
thing was to be done il would have
to be started by the people of Contra
Costa County themselves. and he de-
clared his belief that enough money
could be subscribed to inaugurate the
move

BERKELEY, April 14-While the
students Of the university who built
the gigantic &C" on Charter Hill slept
peacefully last night, the enemy came,
IN the form Of big delegation Of Stan
ford men, the advance guard Of the
cardinal contingent that is due at the
field day tomorrow, and these skir-
rnishers painted the golden &c" on the
hill flaming, blood-red crimson, the
color of the rival university.
From the college mans standpoint
this action constituted an insult that
must be wiped out at once. The rays Of
the morning sun had just lighted the
big &C" up on the hill, revealing to the
gaze Of the astOnished California Uni
versity men the march that the Stan
ford chaps had stolen upon them, when
Yell Leaders Rust and De Leon called
for volunteers TO restore the big C. 10
its original color.
A score Of university men toiled up
the hin under De Leon and Rust's di-
rection, and with them went enough
yellow paint to efface the scarlet stain.
Up on the hilltop traces were found
Of the Stanford mems stay. They had
apparently fingered for hours, as the
remains of a big fire showed that they
had prepared for comfort.
Tonight the big CO. shines forth in
Cts pristine hue of gold, but there is to
be retaliation when the collegfans meet
here tomorrow, for the famous ak cap
tured from Stanford is to be brought
forth and brandished in the face of the
Zoe. and a clash is expected that may
require strong hands to control.
