whole thing becomes fixed in my minds eve,
and as the work nears completion l am totally
unconscious of the fact that 1t is not 10 be my
own property. If / succeed in doing some
thing good become devoted to it and am in
cllned TO work on regardless of the hour.
Nine times out of ten under such circum-
stances come to the belief that it belongs to
me, and that am to have it for myself. | ab-
solutely forget that it is TO pass out of my
hands, and every touch put upon it increases
my delight at its expression. Very frequently
hope it will be unsatisfactory to the person
who orders it and that my work may be re-
jected.
"By George" exclaimed the sculptor, raising
his finger confdingly, "once l broke bust all
to pieces for fear it would pass out of my
hands. can not get over the feeling OF affec-
ton for anything that turns out well, and if l
needed money worse than any body else in the
country would not want q sale to take place.
II once knew sculptor in Leipsic who
bought all his works back from his customers
because he thought they were too good o be
buffeting around the country in the keeping
of other people. l do not think that way,
mind you, but l have become very much
attached to some things that have made, and
no one can understand the depth of my feeling
who has not created something of like kind.
Oh, it is too bad that it takes money to live and
that one has to sell his own children, for a
mans work is just as much part of himself as
his arm. There is little figure over there on
the mantel that l am afraid somebody will
want. L hope no one admiles it, as want it
for myself. Pshaw there is no art in selling
ones work, no pleasure in piling up gold, no
comfort in spending money made that way"
Mr. Dobbertin walked over to the figure he
had pointed out and looked at it as father
would look at his child. Then he turned
away and said nothing more about it.

INTERNATIONAL SPORTS.

If international sports between this
country and Great Britain have been
und ertaken with any intention of estab-
fishing friendly relations between the
people of the two countries the aim of the
promoters has not been realized. In
no single instance has the result of a
contest Of any popular interest been well
received and in many the outcome has
been a series OF controversies, ordinations
and recriminations, irritating even to men
who took but little interest in the contest
itself. Such irritations continually
repeated amount to public aggravations
and go far to cause feeling of positive
hostility in the minds of the people of both
countries.
The existence OF the feeling of irritation
must not lead us, however to overlook the
fact that frequently the controversies have
been more personal than National. In the
present dispute over the contest for the
America cup, for example, it would be
mistake to suppose that DInraven really
represents British sentiment or opinion on
the question. His charge that the Defend
er syndicate was guilty of the trick of
sailing their yacht on water line different
ment can hardly be laid to the door of a
whole nation. In fact the dispatches
report that several English papers of high
standing have condemned his conduct and
have disavowed any belief in the truth of
his statements. Dun1aven stands alone in
the issue he has been silly enough to make
1t is not likely he will find support any
where and his career as a yachtsman may
be considered closed.
However great may be the popular irri-
tations growing out Of international con-
tests, and however deep the aggravations
resulting from the bad manners and
foolish passions of men like Dunraven, it
would be a cause of no little loss and re-
gret if there were to be no more interna-
tional sports. They arouse the public
mind to an interest in athletic affairs as
nothing else does. The very intensity of
them is wholesome and stimulating, and
on the principle that sit more stirs the
blood to rouse the lion than to hunt the
hare, there is more gained for athletics
in one international contest than in a
dozen local matches in which people ieel
only languid interest.
1t is quite possible, moreover that the
'Ali1dtiolS bAemSeiftS are DeHeHClal. II
they do not conduce toward friendly
feelings toward England they at any rate
intensity American patriotism. Take
them for all in all, our contests with the
British on land and sea have been good
for US. 1t would be foolish tc drop them
simply because Dunraven is an ass. Fortu-
nately there is no fear that they will be
dropped. We shall have athletes from
Great Britain, Australia and Canada to
compete with US in every form of sport for
all years to come; and we, without regard
to Dunraven's s petulance, will continue to
welcome and give them fair field.

VALLEY TRANSPORTATION.

Every now and then desperate effort is
made by the farmers OF Fresno and by
some merchants in San Francisco, who
sell largely In that region. to establish
wagon transportation for the traffic. at
this end of the line Wellman, Peck & Co.,
a conspicuously fearless wholesala grocery
firm, started such a plan several months
ago and have again put it in operation !;
and now comes the news that some raisin-
growers of Fresno are hauling their prod =
uct in wagons to Stockton, to be shipped
thence to San Francisco by water At
other times wagon freighting has been
done over the mountain range to Monterey
Bay, where deep water is found.
The necessity for such desperate efforts
to get from under the choking domination
of the Southern Pacific seems Incredible
Considering the exceedingly bad condi-
ton of the wagon roads from Fresno to
Stockton the cost OF team-hauling must be
very great, although it would be much
less if the county authorities had sufficient
understanding of the economy Of good
roads to make them. And yet for all this
enormous expense it must be admitted
that wagon-hauling is cheaper than rail-
hauling. This is the amazing part of the
situation. The Southern Pacific road
Though the valley is level and the cost of
moving trains must be small. 1t is reason
able to say that if the wagon roads were
good team-hauling could be conducted at
an expense two-thirds that represented by
the charges of the Southern Pacific.
1t is TOO late now for the valley to make
team-hauling as profitable as this by the
construction of good roads, for the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad is pushing down
through the valley and will doubtless
move freight at rates very much less than
those at present exacted by the Southern
Pacific. At the same time very useful
object lesson on the subject of good
wagon roads has been taught.
The main point now is the construction
of excellent country roads leading to the
Valley road. The new railroad will un-
doubtedly do its full share toward Recurring
prosperity to the farmers OF the valley, but
the farmers on their own motion can do a
great deal more by making good roads to
serve an economical purpose in connection
with the Valley road. Such movement
would increase the business and efficiency
of the Valley road and make it still
more important element in the welfare
OF the valley

COLLEGE JOURNALISM.

The spirit of independence which ami
mates Young America has always been ex-
ceedingly aggressive in colleges, because
there the boys are assembled in a body,
are bound together by strong social ties,
and their large sense of indiv duality is en-
couraged by numbers and a common sup
port. This explains why the authorities
OF American colleges have always had so
much difficulty in enforcing discipline and
Keeping the boys under the force of wise
regulations. The continual annoyances
and scandals which have grown out of this
unfortunate condition are practically un-
heard OF in Europe, where students are
kept at peace under the firm hand of au-
thority.
The college "funny" paper is distinc-

lively an American institution, and its
general spirit is a refinement of the cruel
hazing practices so disgracefully prevalent
in this country. However, hazing is be-
ing gradually crushed out and its violence
is becoming softened into the form of the
lampoon. This Is the condition of things
at the California State University. A
bright little paper called Josh Ca slang
word meaning fun-poking) has been sup
pressed and two of its young editors sus-
pended because it was cruelty personal
to the students and inclined to ridicule
the faculty. Another cause assigned was
that the two students suspended had taken
the responsibility of publishing certain
articles that had not been approved by the
full staff of editors, the same being
in violation of their promise to the
faculty. This has caused great deal OF
feeling against the faculty, and now the
students are said to be preparing to "de-
mand' in a body that the suspended
students be reinstated.
The State of California has something to
say in this matter. BY generous taxation
1t maintains one of the best educational
institutions in the world. 1t is proud of
its creation and deSirous Of maintaining its
ethclency and dignity. 1t wants the young
men and women of the State to receive all
the best benefits that the proper conduct
of the institution can secure, and it will
not willingly permit those who should be
grateful for its benefits to work for its
harm.
Discipline is absolutely necessary to the
conduct of such institutions, and the State
depends upon the faculty at Berkeley to
enforce it. These students, by the mere
threat of rebellious attitude, are aiming
a serious blow at an institution which they
| should be the first to protect. Evidently
they do not realize the seriousness of their
position or the menace which 1t offers to
the State. If they lack the delicacy to re-
frain from hurting the feelings of others
without worthy motive, they should at
| least acquire the wisdom not to strike at
!! the educational efficiency of the school 1t
is time that they do some serious thinking
| and show that they have the brains and
character to appreciate their responsibility.
