MAKES CITY GARDEN ,
MINIATURE YOSEMITE.
California Man Has Scenery OF
Famous Valley ReProduced
Around His Home.

B--Currier, member of the San
Francisco Fire Department, was so
greatly fascinated with the beauties
of the Yosemite Valley that he has
had the exterior of his house, at No.
1909 Lyon street. decorated with
paintings depicting famous scenes in
the valley.
Currier was unable TO visit the
Yosemite as often as he desired, and
therefore adopted the simple ex-
pedient OF having the Yosemite
brought to him. He engaged an artist
friend to paint on the front of his
dwelling the scenes he so much adj
mired. Now he can take a seat in
his front garden, throw a pebble at
the cat and instantly envelop him
self in the atmosphere of mountain
pine and roaring torrent. Others
have to pay hotel bills, guide fees
and railroad fare. but not Currier.
The Yosemite is at his door. He can
imagine himself either at home or
abroad, according to his fancy.
Outside the little garden hedge the
worlds Earring cry may disturb the
hours, the hockey pokey man may tell

small boy may give shrill whistle
to n companion six blocks distant, but
Currier needs not. From his front
garden he can see the faint suggestion
of breeze signing through the
tall pines, the black oaks and
silver frs standing out in vivid mag
nificence against the background of
the outside wall. He can see the
summer sun transform into dia-
monds, like natures gems in natures
crown, the splashes of snow on noun
tain summit, above his kitchen win
dow. He can view the cascade send
ing up a glorious shower of whitened
water as it dashes down between the
entertainments of solid rock over the
front door steps. The feecy clouds
he can enjoy as they sail over the
water butt. Violet haze and purple
shadow he can get by hitching his
chair around to the side of the house.
Currier visited the Yosemite two
years ago, and since then has felt the
call repeatedly. So strongly finally
became the fascination that he had
the scenes painted.

THE FL1NTs TONIGHT.

One of the many amusing feats the
Flints perform in their hypnotic en-
tertainments. which will be presented
at the Towle opera house tonight. is
the suggestion to a couple of subjects
that they are Drs. Bull, the twins,
the great corn doctors, and that their
mission in life is to sell corn salve.
The fun is further heightened by sug-
gestion to several other subjects that
they have at some former time been
treated by the doctors and ruined so
far as walking is concerned. The man
ner in which the others demand re-
dress is very comical and it never falls
to convulse the house. The enter
tainments of the Flints are pure but
uproariously funny, far exceeding in
the capacity to provoke laughter, the
efforts of the ordinary comic perform

WHY VAssAR GIRLS
DO NOT CARE TO VOTE.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y. March 2s.-
vassar has unjustly been accused
Of lodging the issue on such vital
questions as socialism and woman
suffrage.
A committee has canvassed all the
students in the college and collect
ed the following list of reasons from
the girls who think that women
sh not vote:
women are uninteligent- about
political matters and unfit to vote.
women have a higher sphere.
1t takes away dignity. It would
make women neglect the home.
THE publicity would be detri-
mental to women.
Women are incapable of organ
ization.
THE country is not ready for it.
Women can get all they need
by influencing the men of their
families and acquaintances."

RATTATL TRIMMING
TO BE ALL THE RAGE.

New York, March %. Miss
Elizabeth White, head of the Ma
tional Dressmakers' association.
and its chief exponent, told the 1913
delegates assembled Friday that the
''rattail" trimming Is the thing.
Yes. rattails," she repeated.
Haven't you heard of then7 There
isn't a choicer thing on the Champs
Elysee than the rattail trimming.
It's made just of twisted silk. but
it's awfully realistic, and 1t doesn't
matter If 1t does give you a sort of
wriggly feeling at first. You'll soon
get over that, and they do say that
wearing the rattai trimming has
cured several women of that silly
fear of mice. Don't forget to make
note OF it in your books. for it's
going to be the rage in Newport
this summer"
