LOVE, THE LRvELER.

1t is extraordinary how all classes
of the community are interested in
wedding. The "happy pair" may
be celebrities or persons of whom one
has never heard, they may be rela-
tives or the merest acquaintance, but
whoever they may be they may be
perfectly sure of striking a sympa-
thetic note to which all aud sundry
will respond.
Naturally, what is called "big"
wedding awakens widespread interest.
But in an ordinary wedding it might
be supposed that little interest would
be aroused did we not know that all
the world dearly loves lover, and
that bride is always sure of an audi
ence, so to say. The fact, presuma-
bly, that two persons are setting out
together along a road full OF pitfalls,
that they are taking each other for
better or worse, can not but excite
certain amount of curiosity, and strike
a chord of human sympathy. Those
who are married realize what dangers
lie ahead, what responsibilities are
being incurred, while those as yet un-
married marvel at the temerity of the
pair, or wonder if they will ever find
themselves in the same position. A
wedding, in short, is generally re-
garded in the light of an interesting
experiment tinged with considerable
amount of romance.
Most of us are sentimentalists at
heart, and in every wedding there
must be something that stirs within
US the spirit of romance. If 1t were
not so, if weddings failed to interest,
the world would come to an end.

BEAUTY IN OLD AGE.

We occasionally meet woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth. We wonder how it
has come about-what her secret is.
Here are few of the reasons
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasing things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age has
come to her, and there is halo OF
white hair about her head, she is loved
and considered. This is the secret OF
a long life and happy one.

LARRIE 0'DEE.
Now the Widow McGee
And T.arrio 0fnon

Now the Widow McGee
And Larrie O'Dee
Had two little cottages out on the green,
With just enough room for two pig pens between.
The widow was young, and the widow was fair,
With the brightest of eyes and the brownest OF
hair,
And it frequently chanced when she came in the
morn
With the swill for the pig, Larrie came with the
corn,
And some of the ears that he tossed from his hand
In the pen of the widow was sure to land.

EACH Sunday the parson rode three
miles to church. On this particular
Sunday it was raining very hard.
He rode the distance on horseback
and, when he reached the church,
was soaking wet.
Several of the good old sisters who
were there early placed chair before
the fire for him and hung his wet
coat up to dry.
"I am so afraid that won't be dry
enough to PREACH" he said.
"Oh," said one of the sisters /;
"when you get in the pulpit and start

HAS BOTH
ROADS AT
HIS MERCY

Chico. Cal. Sept 13.-Mountain
Meadows near Coppervale, Lassen
county. which includes the Freedo-
mia Pass, has been purchased by T. B.
Walker, a millionaire lumberman
from Wisconsin, who now controls
the only feasible entryway into the
Sacramento valley from railroads
coming from Oregon, through his
possession of the pass.
The pass is the key to the entire
valley from the north and is now
tue only open pass leading into the
valley. Both the Southern Pacific
and Hill interests have had surveying
parties running nnes through the
pass. There was party of railroad
engineers surveying when Walker
suddenly grabbed up the 10000 acres
known as Mountain Meadows and
now apparently has both the Hill and
Hartman interests at his mercy as
far as the pass is concerned.
Walker has been called a Hill man
and many are inclined to believe that
ne has purchased the land for Hill,
VINO, 1t is reported, is contemplating
entering into California in competi-
ton with the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN.
That Walker bought the land for
other than lumberng purposes is in
dicated by the property Itself. Most
of Il is barren, or at most but few
scrubby trees cover the soil. Only
a quarter of the 10000 acres has
trees that are even worth the cutting
on Il.
Walker and his agents acted quick
~ in the purchase, and efforts were
made TO keep the news of the big
property sale as quiet as possible. No
information has been given out as to
the price paid for the land and those
directly connected with its transfer
as principals show a decided disin-
clination to talk regarding the land,
the pass or the purpose to which II
will be put.

LAWYER
TALKED
FOR LIFE

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
San Francisco, Sept. 13.-His life
supposed to be endangered, a squad
of detectives today have been con-
stantly guarding Superior Judge
Trout, following a reported attempt
on the life of Attorney William Tom
sky by Otto Coehs, one of Tomsky's
clients, who has been trying to have
an order issued giving him posses
sion of some property taken from
him by the court 12 years ago. when
Coehs' wife sued him for divroce.
At the time OF the divorce Tomsky
was Coehs attorney. Saturday. ac-
cording to Tomsky's story, told IN
court today, Coehs came to his office,
drew a gun and said:
Say your prayes. Your time has
come. would rather die on the
scaffold than in the almshouse.
Tomsky attempted to escape, but
Coehs had him cornered. The en-
ragged man then pressed the
loaded revolver to the lawyers
breast, and was preparing to shoot.
when Tomsky managed to delay him
by saying:
"If you are going to kill both
yourself and myself, why don't you
kill Judge Trout first"
This seemed to tickle Coehs, who,
after making the attorney sign a
statement to the effect that he would
be In court today, and saying that no.
body would be killed, withdrew from
the room.
A close watch has been kept for
the man who Tomsky believes is half
crazed, but so far the man has not
appeared to carry out his alleged
threat
