A little incident happened down at the mole the other evening after the arrival of the overland train, which, though of a simple nature will long be remembered by a certain C. P. engineer. The.great iron monster attached to the train was throbbing and puffing after the long and ainuoustrip over mountain sides and rocky defiles, trembling trestles and marshy stretches. The din in the depot was deafening, but out of the chaos of sounds a sweet, girlish voice was heard welcoming home her parents, who ha arrived on the train. She was a lilt! golden-haired beauty, scarcely six years of age, with a quick, inteligent eye and a loving nature, to which she gave full Tent in the radiant and impulsive way the welcomed her fond parents back. At last they took her lv the hand and proceeded toward (he waiting ferry boat. As they passed by the engine belonging to the train the little one broke away, ran up to the big black machine and pat ted the driving wheels affectionately with her little white hands. Looking up at the smokestack, she said: "You good, big old iron horse, you have brought back my papa and mamma safe over the fear ful mountains to their little girl, and 1 want to thank you, even if you don't cire for me because I am so little, and you, too," she continued, turning her face wistfully toward the grimy engineer, who was leaning out of the cab window, "I love you both-" Then she kissed lit r hand to him and was gone like a ray cf sunshine. Just then a fleeting sunbeam from the great orb sinking down in the Golden Gate came stealing through a chink in the depot and stole by the engineer into his cab. There was a strange look on his face for an instant, and all at once the depot was dark and lonesome. When he turned his head into his cab there were two light spots on the cheeks of his dustbegrimed face. Oakland (Cal.) Enquirer. LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES. J. W. YOUNC. Co Syca. k Bank Sts.

If you feel chilly get the beloved dis ciple to put his arms around you. If your faith is below par read Paul. ' If you are getting lazy watch James.
