cisco have done much to bring wealth to the
coast. They have done more than the rail-
roads in that way. The latter have brought

course, but have forgotten to divide after it

Times are said to be dull in California at

the suffering is greatly exaggerated by en-

is beautiful and swift little craft which
Mr.. Hearst and his staff use while recover
ing from brain flag. When weary OF the
hurry and turmoil of opinion molding,
and the thought ganglia begins to sag and
the Intellectual joints to wabble, and
thought itself becomes burden to the
teeming brain, they hitch up the yacht, and
allowing the trade wind to meander through
their late whiskers, they smell the salt sea
air and the seal rocks and the wood violets,
and in an hour the world again looks invit-
ing; the .odor of printers ink and hot
machiGe oil and political records can again
be endured cheerfully and even hilariousIy,
and all is well. wish that the steam yacht
could become more general among news
paper men, and hope to see it adopted soon
throughout the country in place of the buck
saw and other outdoor Sports.
MARCH HAS HER TUsHEs DRAWN.
The bay is too we'll known to my readers
to need description. At this season of the
year it is a CLASSY stretch Of quiet water at
the feet of green and velvety hills. Later
on the grass gets brown, and so the effect is
not SO good. AS it is now, there are few
flies upon the bay. For the first time I
have found desirable place to live in DUR
ing March. March everywhere else points
to itself with pardonabie pride as the cham
pion in the bette noire business. 1t is the
meanest month on the calendar. 1t is a
month that is replete with suicide and the
smell OF hot soap. The screaming winds
carry everywhere the odor of burning
arctics in the front yard and 60 searching
with sinister eve and stealthy tread for the
man who has in an ungarded moment shed
his winter yagers In California March has
her tushes drawn by the soft air from gen.
tie oceanic current, the weather bureau
drops her tender little Isothermal line or
two, and the robins nest again, the clouds
roll by and the spring time has come, gentle
Annie.
Before forget it must allude here to
little sensation which has not vet been
printed, and as the public will occasionally
read sensation, if truthful, beg leave to
give it here. 1 will not use names, because
they are not necessary. A sad-faced man,
with a little vox humapa and the tremolo
pulled out on his voice, came to the desk of
the hotel as was registering and said in a

TROUBLE FOR THE LADY
The landlord asked him what was the
trouble. He said that he had heard the
voice OF lady In the room of drummer
several times. The landlord investigated
it, pounded on the door, and made a good
deal of trouble, but found that it was the
lady's own room. Then he tackled the sad
man, and he said it might be the lady's
room, but that if they would search it they
would also find the drummer. Much e1-
citement was excited and money rapidly
changed hands. Curious faces of both sexes
were seen protruding from various doors all
along down the hall. Finally a stern man
from St. Louis said this thing had gone far
enough and that he knew the lady in ques-
ton, and that while the charge was sub
stantially correct it ought to be explained a
little. The lady herself was the drummer.
The man with the tremolo in his voice
then paid his bill out of the landlords
money, took several deep draughts at the
bar at the landlords expense, and hurried
down to the depot to pay his excess baggage
bill, also with the landlords money. be-
lleve that there are three women acting

The coast is beginning to feel an interest
in the Worlds Fair and will do its share
handsomely in the way of a display. A
general hope is expressed that America will
not sacrifice 1eauty and worth to blow and
advertising. Art becomes no longer art
