THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE.

wise old literary owl said there were three kinds
of people in the world: ) People who think and talk
about things 2 people who think and talk about people;
~ people who think and merely make noises with
their mouths
Men and who talk about things have been recog
nzed the highest order of people in all ages To know
about things requires thoughtful study Great
plishmens from thinking and talking about things.
TO know about people requires very little effort the vii
lage the king of the tribe of people thinkers And
monkeys do no thinking at ALL but they make more
noise with their mouths than unthnking
When hear talking exclusively
about people, can without much danger of contrade
ton set them down shallow thinkers and by the
token we will recognize the man or woman of parts by his
or her conversation, which will concern things.
The lesson the wise old literary owl teaches is to be
of people (al weak and errng like ourselves and
turn thoughts to the great problems of the world that
are still unsoIyed.

H. NUTTING, general es

II. NUTTING, general eastern
agent of the Southern Pacific in
@s New York is a man of austere
manner and presence but nevertheless
he is Sxindhearted and especially fond
of children.
He was attending one of the Irwin
lectures at Harriman's boys club on
the east side when his attention was
attracted to a small child struggling
to enter the room.
Nutting took up the little chap and
placed him on seat between himself
and Mrs. Nutting. The little fellow
regarded the stern face of Nutting with
awe.
Finally determining to be friendly
with his benefactor he sidled closer to
him and gently whispered:
Say, did you come in for nuttin' ??
"Yes," said Nutting with smile.
Use glad of that" whispered the
boy, sliding a little more closely to
his new found friend.
Say do you knows my fadder? Dey

Railroadmen who have been keeping
tab on the Hartman policy are insist
ent in their statements that the West
ern Pacific will one day be part of
his transcontinenta1 system, and say
vile will be one of the great railroad
centers of the state They insist that
with the Western Pacific Hartman
would have an absolutely perfect road
into California, and one that could
never be surpassed. They say that a
combination of the Union Pacific and
the Western Pacific would eliminate
the heavy grades of the Central Pacific
on this end, and the bad alignment
of the Denver and Rio Grande on the
other end, and that the Western Pa
eific- Union Pacific combination is far
more fitted to the Hartman scheme
than the Denver and Rio Grande and
Western Pacific is to the Gould scheme
If this combination is effected they
declare it would see the rise to i'm
portance of Marysville. The distance
from here to Marysville by way of
knights Landing is 123 miles, or So
miles shorter than the Western Pacific
route, and Marysville no doubt would
then become an important division
