On the Wrong Man.

Bret Harte was SO frequently COM
plimented on being the author of Lit
tie Brooches" that he was almost as
sorry it was ever written as is Secre-
tary John Hay, who would prefer his
fame to rest on more ambitious work.
A gushing lady who prided herself
upon her literary tastes said to him
once:
Mr.. Harte, l am so delighted to
meet you. I have read everything you
ever wrote, but of all your dialect
verse there is none that compares to
your Little Breeches.'"
II quite agree with you, madam"
said Mr.. Harte, but you have put TIE
little breeches on the wrong man"

Alexandra Dumas, the great French
story writer, was very fond and
proud of his son Alexandra, who also
became a famous author. His regard
for him was increased apparently by
the fact that the son had a very good
appreciation of the value of money, a
quality which the father did not pos
sess in the slightest degree.
A writer of recollections relates that
he once visited Dumas at st. German.
He had just been bitten in the hand
by his dog and was unable to write,
but was debating a novel.
His son went out as the visitor came
in.
Alexandra has just left me-" said
the father. What a good fellow that
boy is! lust fancy, this morning i re-
cieved $50 francs. He said to me, I'll
take so francs of it. l din't quite hear
and thought he vas going to leave me
only so. So i called out: Hold on!
Let me have 100 of it at leastr But I
tell you I'm only going to take so? he
called out. oh, OH said I, 4 thought
you We're going to take the 600. Well,
take as much as you want"
And Dumas added proudly, "What a
golden hearted fellow Alexandra ID, to
he Surer"

Construction Being Pushed -.In a Year from This Fall l3o Miles Will Be

Central railroad are in operation, 200 miles are already located, and a small army of men are strung out over the right of way for more than sixty miles from Seward, its coast terminus. Ever since last spring, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, men aud material have been rushed from Seattle to Seward and from that point distributed along the line of work. Engines and con struction cars and tons of rails and other things necessary to the pro- gression of great railroad enter prise have been forwarded to the front on nearly every steamer leav- ing Seattle for Seward during the past niue months, and while the general public has been attracted to the fact in only spasmodic man. ner, the building of what means great things for both Alaska aud for Seattle has been going along with irresistible force.
 Within a year from this fall, if ftesent plans are realized, the road will be in a position to handle men and material to and from the head of Knik arm. distance of nearly Iso miles from the coast. This will mean that the road is in operation within 300 miles of Fairbanks. with a good wagon road extending from the fuTthermost reach of the road to thr Panama mining city.
 It was January of this year that the present owners assumed control of the Alaska Central, and since that time more than a million dol lars has been expended in actual construction. to say nothing of the additional amount invested in SC. curing the interests of the original company and the costs of organize ton
