! painter In each of the gardens four
corners stood large stone figure, and
these figures represented spring. au-
tumn summer and winter. Every year
man came to paint the house, and
he always painted new clothes on
these figures too.
y That looked to be considerable fun
to little Jules. 81 will be n painter"
he declared the first time he saw the
man do this
Next best TO the garden Jules liked
the dusty. cobwehby loft in the house,
where a big, worm-eaten box was
filed with books containing wonder
full pictures. Jules loved to slip away
UP there and look at the books. and
they taught him to love pictures so
much that ne was never satisfied till
he too, could paint them. His first
drawing teacher was a man who had
drawn a crayon portrait on the side
of barn in the village. This portrait
was of a man smoking a pipe, but the
pipe was upside down. Jules copied
the picture and made the ripe right
side up. which everybody thought very
smart for such a little boy And he
drew charcoal pictures all over the
walls of a large. unfinished parlor in
the house.
At school Jules copied pictures by
scrape by drawing a picture of big
wolfhound and writing the name of
one of the masters beneath It, And
he was soundly thrashed fer it, too.
But that was not his first scrape.
Jules uncle lived with the Bretons.
and in his room was a bookcase with
several drawers, In which the little
boy used to rummage when his uncle
was away, Among other things which

TASKS of varnish Jules tried all the
paints on the back of his hand and
pricked the bladders with his pen
knife, one bursting open and cover
ing his fingers and the carpet as
well. with Prussian blue. The young
culprit secured his hands with sand
and scrubbed the carpet with soap
and water and. after lots OF hard
work. succeeded In getting both clean.
When he was little older, Jules had
room off the garden which ne called
his studio. and where he amused him
self during his vacations carving
figures of peasants in soft stone and
painting on wood with the juices Of
flowers and berries. His nrst picture
was a sign he painted for a village
woman.
Later on. When ne Went TO C0iIeRe-
Jules drew from plaster casts. then
portraits ana landscapes in pencil. He
studied art in Client and Antwerp and
Paris. working very, very hard, and
finally, he painted a picture so beau
tifui and SO fine that he was given
the Cross of the Legion of Honor
which is the Highest honor France
has to bestew upon her sors.

How are you gosng to come out
about those honor marks?" asked a
gentleman of a high school boy.
"Oh, all right. I guess. I'm an
optimist. You know, and always look
for the best
BE careful not to let yourself spell
optimism lazy" was the friends
warning.
Though "optimist" is word of the
superlative degree, IL has certain
limitations. 1t doesn't set the world
on ball-bearings, by any means; II
doesn't make even strenuous effort
unnecessary; ii offers no encourage
ment to laziness. One is nationally
optimistic who looks for good rather
than i'll, who remembers that good
is stronger than evil, who knows that
good results can be secured by
earnest, dauntless, perseyering effort

ALIEN LAND LAW
Attorney General Gives His
tory of Legislation Before
Commonwealth Club

The History of the Alien Land Leg

interesting subject of a talk made yes
terday at luncheon of the Common
wealth club in the Palace by U. S.
Webb. attorney general of California
About zoo members of the club were
present and DR.. George H. Evans was
chairman.
Mr.. Webb said that alien land laws
were passed IS years ago by the fed
eral government and that the laws re-
Gently passed by the California legis-
lature were not any different from. the
laws passed by many other states IN
the union long before the allen land
bill was passed here. The speaker
and said that the California law har-
said:
Last winter people all over the
country in a sort of hysterical manner
protested against the alien land laws
here as IL California was trying some
thing new. whereas the truth is that
California was simply following the
federal govel nment as well as other
states in the union The alien land
law was passed TO prevent the holding
of lands by undesirable aliens. 1t was
not a question of races at ALL Ari-
zona. Kansas, Kentucky. Minnesota,

EXPOSITION COMPANY IS
WINNER IN LAWSUIT
Lower Court Holds Stock
Subscribed by H. ]. Stet-
son Must Be Paid For

The Panama Pacific Exposition COM
day in connection with an attempt to
force a delinquent subscriber to pay for
exposition stock, when Justice OF the
Peace Flood gave judgment against
H. j. Stetson and held that Stetson
must pay 5000 to cover two overdue
payments. Stetson, on May 7. 1910, sub
scribed for five shares of stock at 500
z share, the payments to be made an
nually in 800 amounts.
Stetson's defense was that he was in
duced to subscribe by fraudulent rep
resentation on the part of the exposi-
tion solicitor who sold him the stock
that the fair was to be placed in Cold
en- Gate park. He says he was doing
q real estate business In the Vicinity
OF the park and that the failure to
place the exposition there hurt his
business. He also alleged that the
statute of limitations barred the Ex-
position company from suing him.
Judge Flood upheld the contract
after testimony showed that the Gold
en- Gate park feature was merely a
verbal understanding between Stetson
the contract really was a five year con-
tract and that the statute of 1imita-
tion does not operate against It.
A number of similar suits are pend
ing in the courts and the decision prob
ably will be binding on all small
amounts sued for in the justices courts.
The decision will not affect superior
court cases, particularly the suit of
the Exposition company against Ru-
dolph Spreckels to enforce the pay
ment OF $17,5O0 in overdue subscrip-
