Gossip in Railroad Circles

The operating officials of the South
ern Pacific deny the allegation that
they intended to cast any reflections on
the residents of Burlingame, San Mateo.
Belmont, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and
San Jose, or to classify them as dead
ones by putting a funeral car on the
Saturday evening run and the early
Sunday morning run of the regular
trains to San Jose.
They declare that the sole reason for
it's use was to accommodate the traffic
on the days in question, owing to the
enormous number of people who went
to attend the birthday party of Fred
Swanton at Santa Cruz

company has received several indig-
nant communications from residents of
Burlingame and Belmont. and stout

Frank Fabens regrets that any pa
tron of the Southern Pacific, especially
a poet, should be subjected to so griev-
Gus an indignity. and in explanation he
said:
There was such a demand for
coaches on those two days. that we put
into commission anything that we
could lay our hands upon. Now there
is really nothing Objectionable in the
funeral car. 1t is painted a nice bright
and cheerful color on the outside. 1t is

should be remembered that on that day
we put on two extra trains to San Jose,

A SPRING SONG
Oh, to be. to be
A glad green tree.
With the wind through its branches
blowing,
And the fragrant wine
OF youth divine
From root to crown overfiowing
When the primal dawn
OF the earth drew on
There sprang from the worlds gray
neither
An elm and an oak
With one pulse they woke
And mingled their songs together
Do you hear the sigh
When the spring is nigh?

Does the fiery thrill
OF the old life still
Make the new sweet bond seem
stronger?
