Originally electric roads built up cit­
ies. They brought suburbs near to
centers. They solved the problem of
home owning for people of moderate
means. They made It possible for a
man to live where there was room to
breathe, have a lawn and a garden,
enjoy the comfort» of country life,
and »till reach hl» work for 5 cents.
Tbe benefit they conferred on human­
ity canuot be measured In money.
Then came the suburban lines, and
there cannot be too many of them.

"Certainly, I want to get married." said a society belle.
“I am 27. which I think Is old enough for a young matron;
and a married woman has so many more privileges than a

Memories of the eventful days when
Charles Aull was warden of Folsom
prison have been recalled by the re­

and perfected the unique guarding of
the Folsom prisoners, and It was bls

years be was warden not a man es­
caped.
A small graveyard standing outside
the gray sides of the prison gave Aull
his chance to boast like this. No pris­
oner ever escaped because Aull’»
guards shot any man who tried to tlee.
Aull was a splendid marksman, and

skill with firearms. Every week he
