Disappointed.

The true artist has an instinct for perfec-
ton, and a necessary consequence is never
fully satisfied with his own work. Some
times, however, he comes nearer to satisfying
himself than to meeting the taste Of bis
patrons, especially if ne is a painter of por-
traits
A New York artist, who was in Charleston
on pleasure trip, painted the portrait of a
little darby. She was encouraged to sit pa
tiently by having seen beautiful picture
which the same artist had made Of the fair
haired daughter of one of the proudest houses
in Charleston, in whose service the young
darky's mother was laundress.
Patiently she posed, and when the portrait
was completed the artist brought it round to
show it to its original Here you are, Janey,"

Mountain Forests Prevent Floods.

A mountain forest has more functions than
most people have considered. 1t covers the
hills with a vast mat or network of living
root fibers, and holds in place the ever &C
cumulating mass Of mold and decomposing
vegeta bic matter, which absosbs and retains
the water of the rainfall ard the melting
SHOWS. Such forest is great sponge which
receives all the water that falls on the noun
tains, and allows it to escape gradually, so as
to maintain the steady Cow Of the rivers
which it feeds A forest is thus a natural
reservoir for the storage and distribution of
the water which falls upon it; and it is far
more efficient as well as far more economical,
than any system OF artificial storage reser-
vors that can be- substituted for it. II tie

SENATOR STANFORD.
Proposition to Erect a Monument to His
Memory.
!San Jose Mercury.


ga monument should be erected by fhe
people in honor of Senator Stanford" said
Mitchell Phillips, as he stood in front of
the Mercury office yesterday.
The Native Sons procession was passing
the office and the remark was called out
by the manifest popularity of Senator
Stanford, who was saluted and cheered
from all sides, and who pleasantly &C.
knowledged the same as his carriage moved
along.
Yes, sir said Mr.. Phillips, she ought
to have monument and good one, and
it should be erected now by the people of
Santa Clara county, for whom he has done
so much. If Senator Stanford lived in
Europe dozen monuments would have
been erected in his honor long ago. | no.
ticed when travelling in Europe recently
that men who do anything that benefits the
people are always hOnOred. The people
here hardly realize what he has done in the
endowment of thegreat Leland Stanford Jr.
University with $4,000 900 and valuable
lands. When l mentioned this act of Sen
ator Stanford in Europe the people were
almost incredulous."
This university is one of the greatest
things that Santa Clara county can boast of
and 1t will do more to advertise the county
than anything else. 1t is great institu-
tiOn, anu luz udu VINO conceived the plan
and has so successfully carried it out is q
public benefactor, who is deserving of the
greatest honor that the people could pay
him.
Mr.. Phillips suggested that the big rock
on the hill at the entrance to Alum Rock
canyon would be good place for a monu-
ment in Senator Stanford's honor, and he
thought that an appropriate thing would be
the figures of Senator Stanford and his
deceased son, IN honor of whose memory
the Senator made his liberal endowment.
In speaking of this, Mr.. Phillips mentioned
the colossal lion at Lucerne, as an instance
of what the Swiss people do for the citizens
deemed worthy of honor. The lion of
LuCerne was erected at that place, sitter the
design OF the famous Thorwaldsen, in hon
or of the Swiss Guard who fell in the de-
Tense of the Tuilieries in Paris, in 1892.
The suggestion that this tribute of honor
be paid to Senator Stanford is good one.
1t should be carried into execution at once
by Santa Clara county, as it would be
very graceful way of showing the noble
minded man who has bestowed upon our
people such great wealth and the best edu-
advantages in the world, that his
generous deed is appreciated.

folly, is ip no sense indicative of inability
to survive the disaster. On the contrary,
Southern California under unexcited pro-
erosion, slow and natural growth, and
the steady development of its resources,
has before it future of the fairest, and
promise of the brightest.
While We deplore the ills that
have befallen our neighbors and have faith
in their ability TO weather disaster, we are
not insensible to the fact that thes have
not suffered alone. Their folly has to a
considerable extent been felt in sections
innocent of the unwisdom. Tbs collapse
of the southern boom has not stopped, but
it has retarded development with US ana
slowed" the wheels of progress through
.out the entire State. 1t has not pre-
vented the central and northern sections
from prospering and advancing in wealth,
population, production and industry; it
has not divided California and entailed the
burdens of an independent State upon the
south at time when Il is incapable of as
Stunning the responsibility; but it has in
jured US. 1t has checked immigration
it has alarmed the East; it has made the
stranger unduly cautious of investment; it
has cultivated abroad feeling of distust con
corning California, and has made the name
Of the State all but synonymous with terms
of dishonesty and rascally speculation.
We have suffered full share of the re-
suit of southern recklessness, but never.
theless sincerely condole with our friends
who have suffered infinitely so much
more, though conscious of the fact that
this is one of the cases where the OBJ,
jects of commiseration are very likely to
exclaim: Course your sympathy, that is
the very least of our needs"

THE DOORS WERE STICKY,
How Mild Young Man Ended Pleas
ant Call.


ant Call.
There is a house up town in which
painters, plasterers and paper hangers have
been having it all their own way for weeks
past. They got through with their work
the other day and departed, leaving the
house so bright and shiny and the doors so
sticky that it was wonder how people
lived in it without forever wearing their
very best clothes. The great swinging
front doors, which are only closed at night.
were the last things to receive the beauti.
flying touch of the painters brush, and
when he got through with them they were
radiant in their new coats, but inclined to
stick to each other with a tenacity of pur-
pose discouraging to the belated member
Of that household who tried to part them
with his night key, aided by his vigor-
ously-pounding knees his hands, and later
on power of Kaleidoscope invectiye hith-
erto unsupported in him.
One night recently, before this close
friendship between the front doors had
been generally remarked in the house, a
mild and pleasing young man came to call
and mildly remained in the dim parlor
with the only girl in the world until after
the 1890 mark had been passed. When
he finally sought the front door the only
girl went there with him. She knew
nothing about the clinging attachment ex-
listing between the outer doors. Neither
did he. There was nothing II the wide
world to them but themselves, and paint
and doors and sickness were things to
them unknown.
After awhile there was sound some
thing like that heard on a muddy Jersey
road when horses struggle along it, and a
sudden cessation of the low murmurings
which had filled the hall The only girl
fed up stairs, and the mild young man
opened the inner front door, passed out
and carefully closed it behind him. Then
he tried the outer doors. The knob turned
all right, but gentle pull did not make
the door bulge. A harder one and an i'm
proyised tug of war were equally futile.
Then the young man hunted for possible
bolt that might have been shot. He found
one, but it was free and he tugged again.
The doors never moved. They had been
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-09-14

separated for whole day, and reunited
they chung to each other with all the
youthful enthusiasm 50 beautiful to con-
template IN young persons of tender
natures and opposite sexes.
1t was warm evening and there wasn't
much air in that little compartment between
the two sets of doors. The mild young
man perspired and tugged at the unyield-
ing knob, shed his coat and tugged again,
vainly tried to open the doors behind him,
hunted wildly for door bell, couldn't find
it, perspired considerably more, loosened
his collar and wondered in strange, weird
way, why he had ever been born.
1t got hotter and hotter in there and
more sticky and slightly sulphurous. The
young man who had entered that house as
mild and as peaceful and as law-abiding as
any other young mar with no knowledge
of sticky doors could be, gradually took
upon hinlself-had it thrust upon him
something Of the nature of a professional
| lunatic, and the manner in which he i'm.
periled the safety Of his immortal soul
would have made the good Colonel Shep,
arc shed tears of scalding woe.
This sort of thing couldn't last forever
After a period there came to this mild
young mans delighted ears the sound that
was like the trucking riyulet to the poor
wretch whose life is ebbing away for the
lack of just drop of water-the sound Of
| footsteps on the stoop outside There was
a rusty rasping of iron at the bell handle
a sullen bang of the bell down somewhere
IN the bowels of the earth, and after q
long, long time the sable handmaiden,
reused from her virgin slumbers and clad
In wrapper and a spreading frown,
climbed slowly up the basement stairs and
opened the inner DOORS
| She cast one Mortified glance at the coat
less, disheyeled figure standing there be-
fore her, and in second she seemed
! transformed into a pair of aeeting ebony
| legs. The mild young man ran after her,
Gained her fears, besought her to be quiet
and help him to open the outer door.
Together they pulled and shook the
door, aided somewhat by the person ON the
| outside, and at last, with smack like that
which had preceded the first opening OF
the other doors, they were separated from
each other and, with his coat still on his
arm, the ruftied young man rushed passed
the messenger boy who had rung the bell.
rushed down the steps, rushed madly
down the street, and drowned his sorrow
in the flowing bowl. Rosy wine claimed
him for its own.
There are things 'twere better not to
dwell on, but when this young man calls
again upon the only girl in the world, he
will carry in his inside pocket a crowbar
and monkey wrench to help him out Of
such enlargement with the outside doors
