There is a good story told of a German who came from the Faderland to New York with his son Hans. He went into the northern part of the State to find a place to settle. They were somewhere in the neighborhood of Saratoga when he detected a strong smell of sulphur, which he considered rather ominous, so he said to his on, Hans, hell is not far from here." Another pioneer was driving over the same road, presumably upon the same errand, when his olfactories were regaled with the sulphurous fumes. He said, "Ah, there must be sulphur springs near here, and there may be a fortune in them. When he found them, he located there, and, sure enough, found his fortune.

He told his friends of the wonderful springs, and they told others. One drank the water and said it did him good. Another and another tried it and told of it. A chemist analyzed it and pronounced it. good for all the ills flesh is heir to.

And its wonderful qualities were heralded abroad, and strangers came and went and told their friends. Finally a hotel was built and then another and another, until in time Saratoga became known over the United States as the most popular watering place and summer resort in the country. The waters were exported extensively. Saratoga held her position as a famous health resort for three-quarters of a century. Great hotels were built and extensively patronized by the wealthy at home and abroad.

Within the last decade the patronage of the great hotels has dropped off amazingly. Newport was for a long time the rival of Saratoga, but it never compared with it for palatial hotels. Indeed, Newport never had an elegant hotel. The Atlantic was burned more than half a century ago and that left only the Ocean House, a great barn of a place, and the Aguidnic, patronized simply because strangers can do no better. But Newport abounds in private palaces.

Indeed, It is the million aires' paradise. There may be a more fashionable summer resort, but we do not know it if there is. Just across the bay from Newport is a place called Narragansett Pier, where there are a score of fine hotels and hundreds of cottages so-called, but some of them are really palaces costing hard on to a million. G. Dunn Dunn Muir is one of the best.

Fifty years ago there was not a thing where is now a beautiful white city, and tens of thous ands visit there every season Naturally Narragansett Pier was a most uninviting spot. Or all places on the coast to build up such a city it was the most unlikely. No scenery, no trees, no river to speak of and no natural beauties, but the everlasting sea and fine bathing beach. Art has done the rest; and all within about fifty years. Now how was it done? The same as Saratoga became a popular resort, so became Newport and Narragansett Pier and Watch, Hill and hundreds of other beautiful places on the Atlantic seaboard.

People made them what they are by talking about them. Those that located them told their friends and they came, were pleased and told their friends and so on. Now there is not on the whole Atlantic coast from Maine to' Georgia a single spot that can compare with our own Santa Cruz for natural scenery and beauty of location, to say nothing of our climate, with which they can not be compared. And the time is not far distant when we shall have a broad, beautiful macadamized road with easy grades from Santa Cruz to the Big Trees, Felton, Ben Lomond and Boulder Creek, when short-sighted, greedy owners will have let go of those giants of the forest and the State or Government will control and protect them, and they will become known to the wor(li and thousands of pilgrims uh plea8Ure seeker8 will come from far and near to see and ym, I twenty-nve cents admission is uone away with and the shadow of gloom that now hangs over them has been I removed. People will gradually begin to settle in Santa Cruz, the "Nice of I the Pacific," and one will bring another as a Saratoga, Newport and Narragan- sett Pier, etc.

We are not so sure that very costly and elegant homes would not discour-age some people of moderate means from coming to Santa Cruz at the present time. But the time will come when other millionaires will feel like building a little better than theirneighboron the other corner, and so on until the wealth represented in residences of the rich will be enormous. And beautiful homes of the well-to-do will front upon every street and avenue, and the back country will be cultivated to the mountain tops. When thousands of acres of vineyards and orchards will bloom and have their luscious fruits where today Is the unsightly grease wood and chapparal, and the valleys will grow hay and grain and vegetables, which will find a market in the City by the Sea. There the same owners and pro prietors of the Grand Hotel in Santa Cruz will own a great summer hotel at Ben Lomond, and the electric road Clean up your yards.

AT CAMP. Camp Wallace-Reynolds was quiet Friday. In the evening the W. R. C.

had charge of the program, which in cluded music and recitations. During the afternoon the members of the W. R. C. held a meeting at the Masonic Temple, at which the ritual was exemplified in the presence of Department President Cora Merritt, Past National President Mrs.

Elizabeth D'Arcy Kinne, and Past Department esidonts Mrs. Geraldine Frisbie anu Mrs. Alta M. Comstock and many visiting members. The visiting officers delivered addresses.

Dr. Tripp of San Jose is in camp He formerly resided1 in watsonville. He. is 82 years old, hale, hearty and happy. Today will be devoted by the veter ans to picnicing.

The assembly tent was crowded Fri day evening. There was considerable amusement when the program was interrupted by the entrance of fifteen of the veterans disguised as members of the Woman's Relief Corps. They occupied' the stage and held a meeting and began quarreling, when members of the W. R. C.

forcibly ejected them. They tried to tear off the masks worn by the veterans, but the latter made their escape before their Identity could be discovered. The veterans planned their intrusion so as to get even with members of the W. R. C.

who had interrupted the exercises the previous evening. Tne ladies went on a foraging expedition and returned1 to the tent with potatoes, corn and chickens, interrupting Department Commander Mott, while he was making an address. The following was the program: Piano solo, Miss Gladys Fitch; song, Miss Banter; remarks, Comrade Gage; music, Stansbury family; song. Miss Zingg; recitation, Miss Grant; re mark Mrs. Kinne, Mrs.

Frisbie, song, I rattle Stoddard. WHAT LOVE IS. "Love? Why, love is love is The widow hesitated a moment. "Well, if one is falling in love for the first time, a premonitory uneasiness, in most cases, is experienced such as one has never felt before; at the same time the mind begins to dwell constantly upon one person, andthehaunt-ing vision can not be banished. "Very soon the judgment becomes perverted, the brain of the victim loses all sense of perspective and proportion, and he views the belovedi being through defective intellectual lenses which not only magnify the merit of the loved one, but surround even her very faults with a roseate aureole that converts them from faults to virtues.

When one is in love, defects of character act like prisms on the rays of affection and resolve them into a rainhnm rif lion lit 1 fill tints. "At this stage jealousy makes its mytirn no If it Vina Tint fllrpndV HfltlP i so. Without the slightest cause the lover often becomes jealous of every man who receives a smile or pleasant look. In his heart he viciously terms a. 1.

1 tne most innocent anu wuiuiy peupie i fools and villains. He treasures worthless trifles, like soiled gloves and faded flower, as if they were of priceless value. Sometimes, if he is at all weak-minded, he writes verses on these small keepsakes. There is a last stage. When this is reathedi the victim wonders how he ever endured to exist before he met the object of his devotion.

As for the future, he feels sure that all the pleasures that fame and riches can bestow will have but the taste of Dead Sea fruit, of dust and ashes, unless he marries his heart's choice." As she ended the widow's voice became very low and soft, her eyes fell, and I wondered if she were thinking of niel, or of one of her three dead husbands. Lippincott. YESTERDAY'S HOTEL ARRIVALS.

The principal rea- son why I settled in Santa Cruz and bought property, was on account of the similarity of the surroundings to my home in Hawaii, and to the slightly cooler climate here. Probably Santa Cruz, as a place for residence, is un-equaled, with the single exception that your rate of taxation is altogether too high.

Four per cent, if I am correctly informed, as against 1 per cent in the Hawaiian Islands. Now you know, Mr. Editor, that a tax of 4 per cent will have a tendency to drive away capital. Property would have to be pretty- productive to pay taxes and interest. In my opinion, if the city fathers could find some way to reduce the rate of taxation, capital would flow in, new enterprises would be started, and the demand for homes would be Increased.

A. SUNTER. ABOUT DOGS. Oakland Inquirer. American Consuls in European and other countries are called upon by the State Department for all sorts of curious information, one of the latest requests being for the regulations respecting the muzzling of dogs.

Several Consuls In Germany and Great Britain have replied, and from their letters we perceive that America is truly a land of liberty, not only for men but for dogs as well. The happy canine? who run nt large in this country, sub-jer I only to the requirement that they shall wear a tag, could scarcely credit it, but it is a fact that in Germany no dog i3 allowed on the street or in any llllhlii" nlnpp linlpKa ho la mlnr7.1prl Vux mic in viicrti- Diuaiii on Lilt; street or public road must be muzzled when he is not accompanied by his owner or some other person under whose control he is. So strict are the German regulations that they practically exterminate stray dogs and restrict dogs actually kept to those of fine breeds and those useful in hunting or in protecting property. In Berlin every dog Is subject to a license tax amounting to nearly $5 $.1 more than it costs to keep a dog in this city. SUPERIOR COURT PROCEEDINGS.

THE DEMON OF DRINK DISPOSED OF. S. F. Post: A contemporary publishes the interesting fact that a Confederate cavalryman, shot through the head during the rebellion, from whose cranium a surgeon removed a portion of entirely lost a previously acquired taste for intoxicating liquors. It declares, indeed, that the cavalryman, up to the day of his injury, had enjoyed a thirst with which, he would not parted for a large amount of money.

It also records a similar case recently reported from South Africa. A Mauser bullet pierced the head of a British soldier and a portion of his brain was removed by Sir William MacCormac, a distinguished English surgeon. The soldier's mniory was slightly impaired by the operation, but this was the only inconvenience he sut-fered, except that a strong taste for beer which had previously existed entirely disappeared. As the yellow papers say, thes facts are important, if true. If the extraction of a portion of the brain will destroy a taste for intoxicants, there is a chance for the medical profession to inaugurate a far-reaching and beneficial reform throughout the world.

LONG LIVE THE BABE! Syracuse Post Standard. The Golden Penny has furnished a little table of figures which proves that the United States beyond all question is bound to continue to be the greatest Mt ZZ corTrrons3 made to our wheat and corn crops, our coal nor our and iron interests, nor our gold output, nor our silver, nor our. cattle, nor our cotton. The Golden Penny does not refer to the enormous increase in exports and manufacturing interests. The great additions of territory, even, are not given honorable mention.

All these things are insignificant; it is the product of the American nursery that is to do it all. The Golden Penny is not more than 99 cents out of the way, either, if its figures are correct. According to the reportB of last year It gives the following as the additions to population by births In several leading countries: France 51,520, England 153,681, Italy 343,256, Japan K66.096. Germany 773,990, and the United States the glorious total of 1,562,000. If that is not a record to be proud of, what under the sun Is?
