of cigars and plenty of good" Somebody said
something about pints here but the Judge re-
marked, "Quarts. That is one of the times that
the gently rolling billow is all right to mix up
with, but as regular thing l think this yacht
ing business is a little overpraised. l thought
to-day that it could not always be as pleasant
and enjoyable as it was then and that the man
who is always singing, "a Life on the Ocean
Wave ought to have "a home in the rolling
deep What in the name of the dead is there
to commune with in waste of waves, and what
under the sun can man find about a cold
north wind to fall in love with?"
"But while l don't like the raging sea, I'll
tell you what do think a bout this Half-million
Club proposition. 1 think it is good thing.
We ought to have q dozen such clubs in
California"
Jack Mccall of Gray Eagle Bar was out at the
dog show last night and took great deal of
interest in the foxhounds, for up in the noun
tains of Placer Jack is known as a mighty
deer-hunter. Sanderson, whose dog Paddy
took the first prize in the challenge class, was
talking of his dogs merits. "Foxhounds." he
said, seldom know much more than to follow
a scent, but Paddy is an exception. / can drop
my knife while out hunting, and, after going
on mile or more, send him back for it and he
will bring it to me-"
"You ought to see my dog, Quartz" said
Mccall.
"Thoroughbred?" asked Sanderson.
"Oh yes, yes, he's thoroughbred. One of
the smartest dogs you ever saw. Fine deer
dog too. He's half hound and half Scotch
terrier"
al thought you said he was q thoroughbred"
said Judge w. P. Lawlor, who is the owner of q
prize-winner.
"Well if you once saw him after deer you
would say he was 9 thoroughbred,' replied
Jack, who has not attended many dog shows.
zone day was out prospecting and had no
gun with me and we, Quartz and /, came upon
black bear sitting up on his launches.
Quartz had never seen bear before, but had
often had fun with the wild hogs that you may
see sometimes in the mountains and he sup
posed he had hog to deal with and rushed up
to the bear and made grab for him.
1.-THE bear just reached out with one paw
and, taking Quartz on the side OF the head,
loosened one ear and sent Mr.. Quartz rolling
down hill. You should have seen the intelli-
gent look of inquiry on that dogs face when l
came up to him. 1t asked as plainly as could
be, What kind of & hog was that, anyway"
~ am glad to see that the CALL is setting the
other San Francisco papers good example, :"
said w. 4. Brust, president of the First National
Bank of Santa Rosa, at the Occidental yester-
day.
When questioned as to what respect he
thought the CALLS example was particularly
worthy OF emulation, he replied: because 1T is
turning its attention to the country-to the
small towns and the wider and more diversified
interests of the State. Heretofore the San
Francisco press has been too much for San
Francisco. The papers have been giving too
much space to San Francisco news to the ex-
elusion OF the more general news OF the State
am on my return home from q trip down the
east side OF the San Joaquin Valley and
heard nothing but words OF praise for the New
CALL, as they term it. The wisdom OF the
policy, think, is conclusively indicated by
the fact that the other papers are following in
the CALLS footsteps The small cities like the
attention which the metropolitan press is able
to give them 1t is stimulating to their inter-
ests ana makes them feel that they are taxing
more active part in the progressive march OF
the whole State. 1t also brings them in closer
touch with San Francisco and insures their
reader support of enterprises originated here
for State advancement. In my own town
know the CALL has greatly strengthened It's
prestige and hold on the people. Santa Rosa
is no different in respect to local pride and
vanity to other small cities OF the State, and
feel certain the CALLS attention to their In
terests has given that paper pull ahead OF
all others.'
