simultaneously with the announce
ment of the auction of paintings and
sketches of the late Thomas Hill, Cali
fornia landscape artist, at the st.
Francis. December Z, s, 9 and 10. has
come to light the true story of Hills
famous painting, The Driving of the
Last Spike That picture is now in
the art museum at Golden Gate park.
but it still belongs to the estate of
Thomas Hill, of which his son, Robert
r. Hill, is executor. 1t has the dis
tincton of having been the cause of
greater controversy than any picture
ever painted in California contro-
versy which touched closely on the
egoism and prejudices of Leland Stan
ford, governor of the state. United
States senator. one of the builders OF
the Central Pacific and Southern Pa
cific railroads and founder of Stan
ford university.
Stanford Dictated Picture
The picture was dictated by Stan
ford, and it was he who named the
persons who should appear, according
to Hills story.
1t was Stanford who ordered the
painting and insisted that he be the
central figure. Later he rejected the
picture, after Hill had spent four
years and much money on his work
Why he rejected it has ever since been
a subject of speculation in California
Hiu'5s posthmuous statement of the
case has come to light in the form of
a pamphlet written by Tohmas Hill in
1884, privately printed by his son. and
limited i'm circulation ONLY 80 comics
OF the pamphlet were printed. OF this
number one copy was sent to Mrs. stan
ford, and another to stephen T. Gage.
the veteran railroad lawyer and poll
tician. Then Hill withdrew the pam
phIet from circulation. and yesterday.

by Robert R. Hill. the son.
What Crocker Said
The story of the picture as told IN the
Hill statement deals with the men who
were prominent in the railroad history
of California and their relations with
Stanford. 1t gives an Illuminating side
light on the view that Charles Crocker.
founder Of the Crocker fortune. held OF
the work which depicted Stanford as
the center Of the celebration. What
nonsense. is this Hill quotes Crocker
as having said when he first saw the
picture. 1t recalls Stanfords feuds
with David Cotton and MeCrsllish, the
editor of Alta California.
At one time Stanford repudiated his
contract with Hill on the ground that
his friends and the public might think
him too egotisticaL Later he let Hill
understand that he would take the pic
ture himself. and gave Hill directions.

CHEERFUL SPIRIT A DUTY.

Comparatively few persons possess uni
fbrmly cheerful dispositions Most of us
have our sad hours and moods. But
whatever the disposition we are bound
by the laws OF our our own being, and By
those OF our social relations, TO cultivate
the virtues OF cheerfulnes, assiduOusly
and constantly.
No one has right to iniupe his neigh
boris happiness any more than to inter
iere with bis pecuniary property, and-ons
cannot indulge in venting ill-humor and
spleen with gloomy forebodings and com
plants, or even carrying sour, frown-
ing visage without sensibly diminishing
the enjoyment or comfort of others, and
thus infringing on their rights, says an
exchange.
ANY individual who tries to do SO can
win himself from dependency and surli-
ness. The power of enjoyment is in it
self faculty capable of improvement,
and as practice always enhances power,
it is good thing to form the habit of en-
ioyment. 1t is not true that the sources
OF pleasure are few and rare, but it is
sadly true that we pass them unnoticed.
We crave the excitement of business, OF
politics, or fashionable life, and forget
the world Of innocent enjoyment We
srample under foot. Nature and art Of
fer their treasures in vain; the livelines'
Of childhood, the attractions OF home, tn.
neal satisfaction of honest labor, the sim
pie pleasure OF little things, all plead fo
atterance and we repulse them.
How can we possess a cheerful spiri
and glad heart when we scornfully de
spise our simple pleasures? Every limo
cent means Of happiness should be wei
coined, and gloomy thoughts persistent.

Market conditions are quite sure to
do more than the efforts Of the vege-
tarians to cut down the use of meat for
food in this country in the, next few
years The time is far distant when
the great majority OF American fam
lilies will come to any such degree of
abstinence from animal food, as a reg
ular habit, as European nations have
already reached. There is too great
earning power here, and the pressure
of the population upon the land is too
light, as yet But the tendency in
that direction is constant. Year after
year the difference between the cost of
vegetable food staples and meat grows
greater, ignoring temporarily and local
reactions against the general move
ment of prices Gradually, the pre-
MUM put upon getarianism, as a
means of economy, is rising, and it is
already high enough to have no little
effect upon thrift as well as necessity.
The whole matter goes back to the use
of the earth for feeding man. 1t
takes more acres to supply a given
number of human beings with food
when the land is used to raise ami
mails than it does when the soil is de
voted to vegetable food staples. This
difference will increase rather than
lessen. 1t is based upon fundamental
conditions which go to the root of
the problem of sustaining human life.
