PUBLIC UTILITY NOTES.

1t is reported from San Francisco that
the Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany will retire the $500 900 two-year 8
per cent notes due on January 5 from the
proceeds of the sale OF preferred stock
to the American Telegraph and Telephone
Company. The American company owns
s2l, n. 200 Of the 100000 per cent cumu-
Iative preferred stock authorized and Is
sued by the Pacific company. Before the
California public utilities law went into
effect SIS, 900. 600 of the parent company's
holdings of preferred stock was pur-
chased. and portion Of the proceeds OF
this sale will be used to retire the notes.
The $4,000 Sunset Telegraph and Tee-
phone first 6s, due July l. 1913, will be
taken care Of by the sinking fund, while
the 900 consolidated % of the same
company will doubtless be called at lO5

the sale of s., 600 900 unissued Pacific Tele-

That the three-cent fare apparently Is
profitable In the aggregate as compared
with the fve-cent fare Is shown by the

lower rate was charged. the company
carried on an average OF fo,b5s passen-
gers daily. and for the first eleven months
of 1912, when the fare was lowered II
carried an average OF 5N,oA passengers a
day. The company claims that II the
population increases In proportion TO the
increase in street railway travel. the city
of Cleveland should have population or
100000 by 1918. AS the population now,

WERE NOT ON HIS LIST.

The late Rev. Horatio Stebbins OF
San Francisco was a man of large
mind and noble powers, but more
familiar with the world of intellect
ual and scholastic interests than with
trivial and timely things, says the
Cleveland Leader.
His household was blessed with q
charming daughter, who grew up
tall and beautiful, commanding the
admiration of all who saw her. One
day visitor said to the good doctor
doctor, your daughter grows
more charming day by day. Why,
she's a regular Gibson girl"
"Ah, thank you; thank you," re-
piled the doctor in his best manner.
When the visitor had gone, turning
to his wife, the doctor asked: "My
dear, who are the Gibsons?"

Suppose the trust problem does
press heavily upon our overbur-
dened and so-called minds, shall
we not yet care as much for the
seasons changing huesl To the
lover and the poet, spring is the
most popular period of the year;
but to the philosopher very dear
is the time of mellow fruitfulness
and of highly colored sadness.
George Eliot was first of all a phi
losopher, and she said: IF l
we're bird / would fly about the
earth seeking the successive au-
tumns." She loved THE still
melancholy >. that makes
life and nature harmonize," the
birds consulting about their mi
grations, the trees beginning to
put on their hectic or pallid hues,
aud to strew the ground, THAT
ones very footsteps may not dis
turb the repose of earth and air"
Emerson was altogether a philoso-
pher, even when he was most a
poet, and it was he who asked US
to remember what befalls city
boy who goes for the first time
into the October woods: He is
suddenly initiated into a pomp
and glory that bring to pass for
him the dreams of romance 4.
he walks through tents of gold,
through bowers of crimson, por-
phyry, and topaz, pavilion on pa
vilion, garlanded with vines, flow
ers and sunbeams." This pomp
and glory that excite the still re-
fiecting boy too often depress him
who has begun to think of ap-
preaching winter; but true phi
losopher, sucking calm even from
the most formidable of facts, well
comes the goldenrod and the oaks
crimson change with all the sense
of value he could give to the
crocus or the daffodil. Golfers.
