SANTA CRUZ EVENING SENTINEL-THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1902 THE HOUSE AND THE VINE. THE OLD WINDMILL. IB I The house is old its windows racked; Its doors are falling down; Where once the dainty tintlngs were Is now a faded brown. The steps are rotting; in the porch Great gaping holes are seen; The roof-tree's broken; with thick mold The boards are fairly green. Once on a time many windmills stood in this city and along the coast road.

Now they have about all disappeared, the last large one being moved last year from the Barson grounds to Laveaga Park. Of "the old windmill" Kate Rogers writes: Adown the lane, like some pale shade it stands A lonely sentinel! Nor fears to raise aloft its grimy hand3 O'er brake and woodland fell. HEATERS!

2 Pacific Av Cor. Mission St SONG OF LIFE. Maiden of the laughing eyes, Primrose-kirtled, winged, free, Virgin daughter of the skies-Joy! whom gods and mortals prize, Share thy smilel with me! i Yet lest unheeding, borrow Pleasure that today endears And benumbs the heart tomorrow, Turn not wholly from me, Sorrow! Let me share thy tears! Give me of thy fullness. Life! Pulse and passion, power, breath, Vision pure, heroic strife Give me of thy fullness, Life! Nor deny me death! Florence Earl Coates In Harper's. THE MILITARY CAMP.

Ed. Tribune: Permit me to comment on a few impressions which have been formulated since the site at Edna has been proposed. 1. That it will dispossess a large number of farmers, and diminish trade with storekeepers. 2.

That it is only an annual gath ering of troops, without permanency. 3. That it will be demoralizing so near the city. All of which are untrue and circulated by some one who is apparently working more in the Interests of Paso Robles than, this city, and in contradiction am permitted to say that the government proposes to rent the land wherever feasible subject to certain conditions. Buildings will be erected for penna' nent post and storage for munitions of war, supplies and equipments for wife doing a bit of fancy work or men.

And yet about the crazy door And round the tottering stoop Clambers and clings a tendril vine In many a verdant loop; And on that vine bright blossoms glow And smile through all the day; From every dainty flotf'r the bees Sweet burdens bear away. The broken house a ruined man With blighted life and fame; Soul-windows dimmed, a tarn'shed coat A more than tarnished name. The clinging vine, a woman's love Perchance a mem'ry dear Whose fragrant blossoms bless the world Through all the changing years. Los Angeles Herald. THE AMERICAN HUSDAND AND WIFE.

America is the land of homes, and taking into account the number of inhabitants, no larger proportion of its inhabitants live in boarding houses and hotela than do those of England. It is also to a much greater extent than any other country of the world tho land of equality and community of Interests between men and women. If one takes tho typical American husband and wife one will certainly find that their common interests are many; that the wife is a companion to her husband, and that, knowing she is his intellectual equal, the American man discusses freely and confidentially with his wife his professional and business relations to a far greater extent than does the typical Englishman. Club life among married men is not nearly so common in America as in England. Throughout the length and breadth of the United States thousands upon thousands of husbands and.

wives spend their evenings reading to gether the books and magazines, or the rie(i man and woman of my country. Surely they do not lead very separate ivta and their interests in common are many. Who takes the American gir to the museums of art, to the theatre, to the concert? Who sends ner presents of bonbons, books and flowers, all for the pleasure of her society and companionship? It Is the American young man. He can do it, without feeling that his intentions will D0 misunderstood, for America is tne land of good comradeship between men an(i women. There friendship, (jeep ani lasting without any thought 0f iove making, or marriage, may ex- jst between the unmarried of the two sexes, and it seems to be the only country In the world where it cam exist.

Certainly such a state of things between the young men and the young women of a country points not to a but to a community of interests. Elizabeth L. Banks in London Mall.

How unfortunate It is that the poor, the people who should pay the least for things, pay the highest prices for nearly everything prices which even people in better circumstances can not afford. They buy shoes which come to pieces almost the first time they put them on, and purchase clothing which rips, and has to be constantly sewed and resewed, and which never looks neat. They buy their coal by the bucketful, even when they could better afford to buy it by the ton, thus paying two or three timc3 what is la worth. They buy cheap groceries, which is the worst kind of economy; adulterated spices, because they are cheaper, poor soaps, poor everything and this is the worst kind of economy. The poor would be shocked if they were told that they are more extravagant than the people who are well to do.

It is not always Decause tney on nffnrd to buy in Quantities, but dQ nQt think. These people rare- ngure uuu T' would icaru now u- i and learn to figure more how to buy, with even their small means, to the best possible advantage, and how to use the best economy not for the day, merely, but in the long run they would greatly improve their condition. Orison Swett Marden. KING EDWARD AND THE RATS AND CATS. Very quietly and slowly, but none the less surely, during the past thirty years a hobby has grown up In our midst a hobby indulged in almost exclusively by gentlewomen a hobby in which a great deal of skill, patience and sympathy is essential, a hobby to which much of their time and interest has to be devoted.

Ever since the day when Harrison Weir, now an old man, organized the first cat show ever held in the world, at the Crystal Palace, in 1872, the keeping, breeding and exhibiting of hiRh class cats has formed a pleasant pastime for a large number of women. The buying and selling of cats and kittens has supplemented many a scanty income. But it is only during the past few years that the cat has made any bold bid for general popularity or achieved distinction by securing august patronage and recognition. King -Edward, on being asked to patronize a society for the protectin of cats, replied that he would willingly consent, but that if he did so he might the next week be asked to support a society for the protection of rats, and so find himself In an awkward predicament.

HAS NOT KEPT THE PROMISE MADE TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. Agreed to Raise a Sam Equal to the Appropriation, Bat Failed to Do So The Board of Trade held a meeting Wednesday evening. H. F. Anderson reported on the Sycamore Flat macadamizing.

The sum subscribed was collected, balance, $49. The expenditures included $1,976 61 for Sycamore Flat and $S00 for Powder Mill Flat, besides $193 paid for graveling. There is a balance of $62 65 on hand. The committee was given a vote of thanks. Attention was called to an article In a book which misrepresented Santa Cruz in the bond matter.

President Clark suggested that some action be uken tQ rectlfy the misrepresentation, fln(1 fv th tplIll the matter. He said that the City Council had already taken action. H. S. Deming remarked that the matter was not worth while paying attention to.

It was further stated that any action taken would tend to advertise the book. No action was taken in the matter. Secretary Coope said that he had re-relved a communication from the Wat- sonville Board of Trade, requesting that the Santa Cruz Board of Trade approve the claim of $300, which is to be presented to the Supervisors. Mr. Coope stated that when the request was made for the monev it was with the distinct understanding that the people of Wat- sonville raise a like amount.

They had! not raised one cent. The article for which the mone was to be raised wa9 published In the Fruit World. Santa Cruz can not get any appropriation unless it raises an amount equal to the sum asked for. Santa Cruz has raised hundreds of dollars for advertising, while Watsonvllle has not raised a dollar. Watsonville agreed to do certain things, but has not fulfilled her agreement.

D. C. Clark. J. F.

Coope, M. C. Hopkins, H. S. Deming and J.

J. C. Leonard were appointed a committee to attend the Supervisors' meeting next Monday in regard to an appropriation for advertising purposes, as it is necessary to distribute Santa Cruz literature. The meeting then adjourned. AGAINST FRONT FENCES.

Redlands, Jan. 27, 1302. Ed. I am trying to get your Board of Trade to see if something can not be done in the way of removing the front fences which so disfigure your beautiful city. Why not make an agreement one with another to do this, and let different property owners sign the agreement? And you help It on with your paper.

I understand Cyrus W. Field gave the town of Wllliams-town, $10,000 to remove their Iencegnot for amusement, but to improve and beautify the town. How well he succeeded ak any one who Williamstown. I send you a list of inv provements made in Redlands within the past year, where we have no front fences. Our population In 1900 was 4,797.

All but about $23,000 of the improvements are inside the city limits. Your city has a beautiful situation. To my mind it is not only one of the finest, but the best summer resort In the State, and it seems to me a pity that it Is disfigured by the residents clinging to the old relics of a bygone age. isaa luck to them (the relics, not the residents), say I. Tou can not make another Improvement of such value to the town at such little cost as by relegating them to the wood pile.

I may not know much about towns, but I helped lay out and Improve Redlands, and am proud of the work, although I do not often say much. Yours truly, G. JUDSON. We endorse every word Mr. Judson utters.

On Church one of the handsomest streets in Santa Cruz, there are four lots, ours among the rest, without front fences. Down with front fences in a no-fence State! 4 ANOTHER CEMENT WORKS.

Oakland luiquner. i morality of Pismo and Arroyo Grande, The authors of these silly rumors must have greater reasons than these for their assertions, or there would be no object in making them. In any case they are inimical to the best interests of the city and retention of county seat. When I proposed Edna as a suitable location for military purposes, I con- ceived that I was acting in the best Interests of the community, railroads and government, and felt as any broad- minded citizen ought to feel, that in slighting some of our best landscape locations, which possessed all the ad- vantagea sought we had no chance In competing with others.

With this in view 1 worked unremittingly to obtain a return of the committee, with most gratifying results, and If it be the desire of our citizens to promote the growth and importance of the city between it and the beach, such an opportunity is within the scope of possibility. I am working for business, not for glory; my success is but the success of all shared in common with each other. This is my home and I work for it to the best of my ability, not in giving proper consideration to the advantages we possess, for certain purposes, which some places less favored by nature can not produce. If Edna has advantages of a superior character, we do no wrong in submit ting them for consideration. Tho mintnrv rnmmission will decide that Question, and if the most lntelll gent portion of our citizens wish to second my efforts I believe we iave every fair hope of success.

Beyond this I have nothing to add and am willing to abide by the issue of events. Respectfully, REGINALD W. NUTTALL. The above is found in the San Luis Cbispo Tribune, and is published to show that the kicker is ubiquitous. We have our troubles; so do other cities and counties.
