considered that the steepest grade on
the Western Pacific is less than half OF
this the operating advantages OF such
a road can easily be understood The
Western Pacific crosses the Sierras at
an elevation of 5,112 feet which is
1895 feet or approximately half a

feature. which viii be appreciated by
travellers and railway men alike, is the
fact that because of the low altitude
and the consequent absence Of snow
there II no necessity for the use Of
snow sheds, and not one exists on the
entire line.
REMARKABLE ENGINEERING.
The new line is one of the most
notable exam pies OF engineering In the
world, and is especially distinctive in
its uniformly low grades and elimlna-
ton Of curvature. East or west bound
the maximum grade is one per cent
or 90 feet 10 the mile, ana I'm the west

maximum curve used a. 10 degrees.
and In only few cases do the curves
exceed 6 degrees.
There are 30 steel bridges on the
line, aggregating In length 9,26l feet.
There are As tunnels, with total
length Of fJ.4g4 feet. on the western
slope OF the Siorras. In order to main
tain a tight and uniform grade, the
line, rising Al feet, loops Itself within
one mile, which forms one Of the
wonderful engineering features Of the
new road. The line from start To
finish has been constructed regard
less OF cost. lts roadbed is perfectly
ballasted, and Its rails weigh SIS
pounds to the yard Its modern sta
tions are exceptionally attractive and
Commodious. Its passenger coaches
are all-stocl and archaeological
throughout The sleeping ears are the
latest and best OF Pullman make.
The Western Pacific is 92f miles
long and has been in course Of con-
struction since September, 1905. The
work was carried on actively from
both Salt Lake and san Francisco
ends and the rails were connected In
November, 1903, since which time
freight trains have been operated con-
tinuously over the new line I'm order
to prepare the roadbed for passenger
train service.
With the completion % the line and
the Inauguration Of passenger serv-
ice by the Western Pacific on Mon

and san Francisco become the ter
mini Of a new and most important
line. this being the

BROUGHT PARENTS HOME AGAIN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Caroline was very i'll. She had been
taken to the hospital. For two long
weeks she had been in her little white
bed in the hospital.
One afternoon when she was waiting
for the nurse to come and tell her
her afternoon story she heard some
one calling, Caroline, Caroline!"
The door opened. She expected to
see the nurse come in, but it was
little fairy dressed in pink and white
silk and lace. She held a gold wand
in her hand.
Before Caroline could speak the little
fairy said, II want you to make one
wish"
Caroline hesitated a minute and then
she said, Il wish my mother and father
were here"
your wish is granted said the
fairy. and she disappeared
Again the door opened, and this time
int was the nurse, and close behind
her were Caroline's mother and father
Before she had time to say anything
she heard a voice saying, wake up,
Caroline. and see who's here"
She rubbed her eyes and raised up
little in her bed.
There were man and woman sitting
by her bed Who was 1t but her own
father and mother!
"Oh, papa, she SAID, Il Thought you
ani mamma were drowned. Tell me all
about how you happened to get back
home. The paper said that everybody
on the boat was drowned"
mo, dear" he said; but when you
get we'll l will tell you all about il"
Caroline often wondered if the fairy
did bring her mamma and papa back
to her.
When Caroline was 6 years old her
mother and father had started to
Europe On the way the steamer was
wrecked, and all the people We're
drowned but Caroline's mother and
father They got into one Of the life
boats and floated around for about two
hours. When they were about to give
up all hope of ever getting any place
they hailed it and were taken aboard.
The ship was loaded with goods going
to Australia. They went on to Aus
tralia, but they had to wait long
time to get back to America. Caroline
had not seen her parents for over two
wears. EUNICE JACKSON.

MET FAIRY IN MOUNTAINS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once a boy and I started up in the
hills after some ferns. When we were
getting quite away up in the foothills
fairy appeared and said:
Il am the wish fairy"
She said if we would wish something
it would come true.
So the boy who was with me said he
wished we would find lots of ferns.
said / wished we could make our ferns
grow when we got them home.
So we started on, and we had
gone but a little ways when we came
upon a large bed of all kinds of ferns.
We took all we could carry home and
they grew just fine, and we sold them
for a dollar.

THREE SELFISH WISHES

Dear Aunt Laurie:

her daughter Nan.
"Oh!" she said, 81 wish l didn't have
to go to Sleep"
Wishing doesn't do any good" said
Mrs. Jones.
Are you sure?' came a voice which
sounded as clear as a bell.
what is that?" asked Nan.
"A spirit! A spirit!" shouted Mrs.
Jones.
mo, not a spirit, but Wish Fairy"
spoke the voice.
IA Wish Fairy?" asked Mrs. Jones.
"Who is it / see? Come in," said Mrs.
Jones'
poor, tired woman stepped in, and
Mrs. Jones made her eat something,
then the woman said:
"Your friend Mr.. Rich is not very
generous, for 1 asked for a nights
lodging. and he refused me-"
will you walk into the parlor?'
asked Mrs. Jones.
"Thank you very much, but must
be gone, as / have a long way to 60,
she replied.
Il am so sorry" said Mrs. Jones'"
But before 1 go I will let You
have three wishes, and they shall be
granted
oU! ION COulu SOu ~
cried Mrs Jones.
BE kind to others as you would
have others be kind to you," said the
Fairy.
Il wish that we may always be gen
erous and have a new home. and may
my cupboard never be empty" said
Mrs. Jones.
1T win all come true" said the fairy
In the morning when Mrs. Jones
awoke she had what she wished, and
in the afternoon Mr.. Rich called upon
her and asked where such changes
came from. OF course, Mrs. Jones told
him all about it.
Then he said, 81 will go in search of
her." and he arose and went. He got
his horse ready and started off.
He had not gone far when he said
Glow good my horse trots," but just
then the horse commenced to balk.
"Oh, I wish it would break its neck,
he said, in anger, and there lay his
horse dead with a broken neck.
He united the saddle and returned
home, carrying it.
He had hardly gone half mile when
he said, II wish my wife was on this
at home"
When he got home he saw his wife
stuck to the saddle, and she begged
him to free her.
At last he said, "I wish her off and
the saddle in the barn." and 10! she
was free, but he had wished his
wishes"
He grew poorer, while Mrs. Jones no
longer lived in poverty.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The wish fairy lived up in the hills
near Dobbin Town and could give you
anything you wished for
One day when she was out walking
she met young man who was in great
sorrow. She asked him why he-waS in
such sorrow. and he answered:
II have a stepmother who has driven
me from my fathers castle"
II win make you invisible" said the
fairy, 80 that you can go home and
drive them out in turn"
So he went back and drove them out,
and in one year he married beautiful
princess and lived happy ever after.

it to.
So I went under tree and saw a

II did, and fell to the ground. l
looked at it. then threw it into the air,
and changed it to a bird again.
Then I went on and saw big wagon
with three men in it.
I said: Change to a bird and fly

to visit her gOdmother she told her
that she wished she could be a wish
fairy too.
Her godmother only answered, Very
well, l shall see about that" And she
told little Mary to come again.
So the next day Mary came just as
her godmother had told her, and to
