The Gen. Mile3 is off for Shoal

Few things arc of more import
ance in early liTo than the formation
of coirect principles, and in educa
tional institutions the element of mor
ality, and the attribute of moral sur
roundings are the most important fact
ors in the achievement of this necessary
result, fn this case reference is made
directly to St. Helen's HaU, a state
institution and one deserving of the
patronage of our. citizens. Jts intln
ence is for good and its educational
advantages are second to none.
Such days as these woo siway the
souls of those who feel entitled to a
restaud off they go who can, some to
fish in adjacent bays and livers, some
to hunt tho deer in the mountains and
on the headwaters of mountain
streams, and others to adopt kindred
styles of vaiying work and calling into
action a different set of nerves and
musclei than are employed in the
routine of daUy life. Those who have
nothing to do arc in one extreme,
those who have too much are in the
ether: tho golden mean in such golden
days as the present is to let the pro
cession go by without tiying to keep
step, to "break ranks" and hunt a
shady and secluded spot and fi'l up on
clams and ozone, and oysters and sea
breeze and venison and spring water,
etc.

Clivouicle reporter chanced to meet
during his rounds along tho wharves.
"Yes, sir, I've been making my living
just this way for a long time pickiug
up old. nails, broken bits of iron and
old junk of all kinds. It's very hard
for one to get along sometimes, you
know, when I can't be around. But
I've been pretty well, lately," added j
the little old man cheerfully, fand .
have been able to earn a pretty food j
living."
"How
much can you in-ike a iImyT'
i. . , , .

j 'Sometimes f make as much as tw o .

"How much do you cot for what
you work jo hard for?
Been get-
j
"Half a cent a pound,
ting that all along,"
"Do yon have a god
place to
sleep?"'
To this l.i3t interrogatory the old i
man answered with a nod. Tho tears
had just started, one from each eye,
and running down each check, left be
hind two tracks, on the edge of which
was the dirt that had accumulated for
woeks. When this slight disturbance
of his finer sensibilities had been
smothered, he continued with his
story and said that years ago ho was
the sole owner of a 200-acro ranch
in San Mateo county, and that de
signing friends robbed him, thus throw
ing him upon the charity of the
world.
"Old man," said the reporter,
"what do you get to eat?"
"Oh, sometimes I get coffee, and
with it 1 cat bread or stale doughnuts;
other times, when 1 have made a good
deal of money, I get myself some
meat, but not often-rnot often."
"It'll bo pretty hard on you when
tho rains come, won't it?
"Yes, I guess it will," he said sim
ply, "but 111 weather it out, and
some day some day, I'll die, I
guess; die, and most likely find a
grave down there."
The reporter's eye followed in the
direction the bent and bony linger in
dicated. It pointed down under
neath the dock.
"les sir; some day 111 find rest
down there. My body will go out
with the tide. God knows -where my
spirit will go, but I guess he'll take
care of it, and no "matter whero I go,
1 can't find anything rougher than
this. There's an old bolt over" there,
I see; I'll go and get it," and he hob
bled off. S. F. Chronicle.
