Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, March 2. The policy of the Southern RAILWAY to reduce expenses continues. Nearly every day some new order IS lssueo whereby the expenses of the system is most materially reduced. It is said that the engines ana roll. ing stock of the road on the Mobile division were never in worse condi- tion than ct present, yet the men at the shop are working on short time when there is enough work to keep q large force of men busy working both day and night.
 The latest order issued reducing the expenses of the system was learned here today. The order becomes enee- tive on April 1 and by 1t eleven tele- of the road are let out. This practi- caIiy closes eleven stations on the di- vision and it ia believed that 1t will cause a great deal of inconvenience.

The PinnacIes as National Monument.

President Roosevelt recently signed
a proclamation making national
monument of the jagged peaks known
as the Pinnacies, situated in the west,
ern part Of San Benito county. Cal,
says a Washington dispatch. The area
of the monument is about 2,0SO acres.
This natural wonder Is about nine
miles due east from the Southern Pa
cific station at Soedad and is reached
by two roads The jagged formation
of the rocks is of much scientific inter
est. The Pinnacles, which have an
actual area of slightly more than 1000
acres, are located within the PinnacleS
National forest, which has an area of
14,lOS acres. The movement to give
the peaks permanent protection and
preserve them for their scientific in-
terest was started by Hon. j. c. Need
ham and other influential Californians
in 1904 The creation of the Pinnacles
national monument is the final outcome
of this movement. In this way the
peaks will be protected in every way
from unsightly exploitation.

THOUGH ALL WERE FABLES.

THOUGH ALL WERE FABLES.
Though all great deeds were proved but
fables fine:
Though earth's old story could be told
anew:
Though the sweet fashions loved OF them
that sue
Were empty as the ruined Delphisn
shrine;
Though God did never man In words be,
nign
With sense Of his great fatherhood en-
due;
Though life immortal were a dream un-
true.
And he that promised It were not divine;
Though soul. though spirit. We're not and
all hope
Reaching beyond the bourn melted away:
Though virtue had no goal and good no
scope,
But both were doomed TO end with this
our clay;
Though all these were not. to the un-
grsced heir
Would this remain-to live as though they
were.

Saturday Holidays In 1908.

An observing eight-year-old son Of
New York who has yet to master the
leap year problem remarked to his fa-
ther Il few days ago. I've been study
ing this calendar. and think it's a
darn shame that whoever fixed the
dates should arrange that so many hol-
i,lays are on Saturday, doing us boys
out of what ought to be coming to us
on school days" The lad had dscov-
cred that Washington's birthday, Me-
mortal day and Fourth of July all fall
on Saturday in the current year, says
the New York Press. Whereas Chris
mas came on Wednesday in 1907, that
festival will occur on Friday this
year. New Years day in 1908 was on
Wednesday, but next year will fall on
Friday. Easter this year will be on
