Improvement of Sacramento must be an

one TO do it. | have been invited to read
up the history of our city, and I most
respectfully accept the favor so cordially
extended to me- and here it is:
Our city in its infancy had no street
railways; citizens, in the heat of summer
and in the winter rains, walked to their
places of business and at night returned
home by the same well-known method
with which nature has endowed us all
But as the city progressed it was soon
found that this method would not meet
at all times the needs of the public, and
horse street railway was constructed,
and for long time was the only system
we had, until j. II. Henry appeared in
this city and noticed the necessity for
that road which now connects the S. P.
r. r. depot with South Sacramento, and
which is not only great success, but
marks an era from which our city has SO
rapidly improved
To-day, realizing the confidence that
he inspired in the people by his many
kept promises, he again appears before
us for permission to make still greater
improvement, but the "enterprising
spirit" answers, ''No; go, Mr.. Henry, to
some other city and invest your thou
sands, for you know that our city is in
such an able condition financially that
she can build her own roads,
Again, my unknown friend complains
of the bobtail car. 1t is too short to
please the eye. and too slow in its move-
ments to meet the business requirements
of its patrons. Upon this proposition I
most earnestly agree with him and reply,
then let us have a change: do not keep
back the progressive spirit of this man
who has done so much for the city of
Sacramento. People living six and eight
blocks from this proposed new line have
given Mr.. Henry their solemn promise
that he should have this franchise, if the
vote of the people amounts to anything.

When a convict is discharged from the
Folsom Prison hereafter his portrait and
record will be in the possession of Chief
of Police Drew, az Warden Aull has con-
sented to furnish them. 4 better plan
would be for the Warden to notify the
police here when discharged convicts are
put upon the cars, so that the officers
may be able to identity the men. Unless
the photographs are taken at the time the
men are released, il will in many cases
be difficult, If not impossible to identity
the men, as prison life works great
changes in them.
There can be no doubt that most of the
crimes committed here are the work of
ex-convicts, and it certainly would be a
great aid TO the police to be able to
identify each discharged prisoner that
stops over here.

SOME PLEASANT
SHORT STORIES.
An Incident in The Life Of a Now
Famous Artist.
One From Gettysburg Filling a Canteen for
His Comrades-A Very Pretty Room.
Reminded Him of His Father.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL

One of the best known of our artists had.
when he was little boy, blowgun or tube,
in the use of which he was fatally proficient.
He lived at the time in little country town,
and the house of the next-door neghbor was
pretty close to his home. One autumn day,
being armed with his tube, he happened to
spy big pan of pumpkin filling" all ready
to be put into pies standing in the neigh
boris pantry window. The window was
open, and the boy knew where to look for
big box of cathartic pills. These he OBJ
tanned and blew through the tube one after
another with unerripg ann into the pan.
where they quickly dissolved. The pies
were made and baked, and almost imme
diately thereafter the entire family partak-
ing of them was thrown into the widest sort
Of panic. The doctor came at a gallon,
emetics were administered and there was
talk of having pumpkin sample analyzed
TO detect the mysterious poison when the
thoroughly frightened boy made confess
sion. The alarm subsidized, the analysis
project was given up and the boy was made
to experience sudden distaste for bl0wplpe
practice.
OF course it wouldn't be fair to say who
the artist is whose youth was thus distln-
guished, but have heard Hamilton Glib
son, the hor-illustratOr, tell the story

With the exception of the great waste OIL
Dartmoor and the extreme northern part
of the county which includes portion OF

able for its fertility. The country around
Bideford and Barnstaple includes large
amount of productive land. as also does the
extensive tract known as the Vale OF EX-

Dressmakers of the Future.

Dressmaking is a noble art, says Mrs
Anne Jenness Miller in the Ladies' Home
Journal. In the purity OF its ideas it is
type Of the highest culture. Ladies should
go into it, for it requires the esthetic in
stinct and the educated taste, and these
belong only to the higher and more
refined temperament. The most beau
tiful dress we have ever had has
been the Greek dress, and, in some periods,
the Roman; that is, according TO real art
But such dress is mol available for our eli
mate. with its abrupt transitions from heat
to cold, nor for our business vocatiOuS and
conventional usages. The artist or dress
maker of the future must study the laws
governing 6ress as it was in those days, and
at the same time take into consideration
adaptations to climate and social conditions.
Woman, particularly when she is beauti-
full, is the most attractive being in the
world, and more pains should be taken to
drape and dress her, than with almost any
other branch of art. l do not think that
dressmaking has ever revealed the esthetic
beauty that is possible. We have had style
and fashion, but we have never had what
regard as the highest forms of art in dress,
and we never can have until such time as
it is regarded as a fine art, instead of now
as a trade, and until the time shall come
when women or men who are dressmakers
shall DO treated with the same consideration
socially or otherwise, as we to-day treat o
painter or a sculptor,

THE HONEST Firms.
A Country Where Property Is Absolutely
Safe-NO Thieves Around.

1t might be rash, perhaps, to assert that
among the criteria of q nations civilizaa-
ton security of life and property deserves q
prominent place, but 1t is certainly quite
safe to affirm that in no other European
State, not even in Sweden and Norway. is
life and property so secure as In
Finland. The confident matter-of.fact
way in which trunks, parcels and port
manteaus are left for hours in the pub
lie streets of cities without any one to
look after them could not fail to edify an
Englishman or Belgian, who's portable
property often seems to disappear by magic
On arriving at Helsingfors or Abo by sea
have myself occasionally left my trunk on
the quay for a couple of hours till the de-
parture of the next train. meanwhile taking
a drive in the cauntry around; and although
on one occasion my portmanteau was not
even locked, 1 never lost anything. In the
country districts the houses are for the
most part unbolted, unbarred and I'M
locked. More than once in my excursions l
have come up to house, the occupants of
which we're miles away at the time, and
vet not door of it was Dolted or barred.
Then, again, it Is no uncommon thing for

woman to drive alone in her cart q distance
OF fifty or sixty miles, through dense forests
and by the shores of gloomy lakes, convey

Finnish honesty is proverbial. In trade
the Firms, as a rule, are not only scrupu-
lousy honest, they are heroically, quixoti-
cally so. A tradesman will tell you the
whole truth about his wares, even when he
knows perfectly well that by doing so he
