Finding His Balance.

William Is small boy whose vo-
cabulary is limited though his activity
is not. The latter leads him into vari-
GUS places from which he is rescued
with fear and trembling by his many
female relatives, among whom is an
aunt who believes In argument and
moral suasion in disciplining the
young. Quite recently she took the
young adventurer to jackson Park,
where he insisted on walking out on
the pier in what she considered dan
gerous proximity to its edge
Il wish you would keep near me"
she said at last when her flesh had
been sufficiently horripilated by the
young mans antics. ''If yoa were to
lose your balance you would surely
go over. ami how could get you out?'
Lose my balance" cried the young
ster in derision. "If did, I'd get it
again. PAPA couldn't get his for a
long time tie other night and he tele-
phoned mamma that he wouldn't come
home until he found II and he did. so
could. too."-Chicago Record-Heraid-

CALIFORNIA FIRES WILL
REDUCE RAILWAY FREI0HTB.

Although the citrus fruit shipping
season is not fairly opened. refriger.
ntors cars are becoming daily more
prominent on the railroads. Long
trains Of them. particularly on the
Santa Fe are to be- seen every day,
and one would come TO the conclusion
that these are about the only cars
used on some Of the divisions. The
fact OF the matter Is that the trelhen-
dous grain and dried fruit crop In
what IL called the valley" the Fresno
country has caused the pressing into
service OF every available box car,
leaving the local divisions under the
necessity OF using refrlgerators as or
binary buX cars.
But. In spite OF the fact that the
crop has been unusually large In grain
and dried fruits. not nearly 70 many
cars will be- required for rs handling
as though there had been no fires. In
Ventura alone, $1,000 acres OF orch
ards and other lands have been laid
waste by the flames, while the loss In
other counties has also been heavy,
