A PRETTY ROMANCE.
A Gifted Sun Francisco Young Woman
Artist Hud un Interesting Sturt.
People who noticed in The Examiner
window a splendid cast of the head of
Sitting Ball will lio interested to hear
the pretty romance of the young artist
whose work it was.
It was modeled by Miss Alice Ride-
ont, a young lady of leas than 18 years
of age, who has already shown such tal
ent that she bids fair to take front rank
among the host of artists that the Pacific
slope can claim os its own.
Her first start in her chosen profession
can he directly traced to a large English
mastiff owned by her family, although
her artistic aspirations date back to her
early childhood. One day, while accom.
panied by the mastiff, she passed the
open door of a sculptor's studio. The
animal rushed in and, with npparent de
liberation, knocked over tho pedestal
upon which was placed for exhibition
the artist's latest work. An arm and
leg were shattered, and the piece lay a
seeming wreck on tho floor. Tho at
tendant was wild.
Tho girl endeavored to make excuses
for the dog, but nothing would answer.
Offers were made to pay for the damage,
but to no avail. The man, dreading that
upon tho artist’s return he wonld lose
his position, was inconsolable. The girl
begged to bo allowed to repair the piece,
and after repeated entreaties the man
consented, with the remark that while
he did not believe it conld be fixed, he
was very certain she conld not injure it.
He mixed the clay for her, and watched
with interest the unpracticed fingers
doing the work that the accomplished
artist hail so lately finished anil taken so
orach pride in. An hour passed with
most gratifying results; the arm was re
stored and was perfect; the attendant
was happy.
Another hoar tho leg approached com
pletion, when lo, the artist apjieared on
the scene, lie took in the situation at a
glance, and unnoticed by the occupants
of the room watched the work. Fin
ished, explanations aro in order and
given. The artist is charmed, declares
the work of restoration has added new
charms to the piece, and having heard
from the girl the great ambition of her
life, went with her to her homo and in
sisted that her parents should allow her
an opportunity to learn the art for which
she evidently had so mnch inherent tal
ent.—San Francisco Examiner.

How few people realize the results oi
extensive drainage, such as a highly civ
ilized country presents. No inconsider
able changes are wrought by artificial
drainage. Much of surface water, in
stead of being left to form marshes, sat
urate the soil or be taken up by evapora
tion, is carried away underground
through drain pipes. Consequently the
air is not so moist as formerly, and ths
■oil, instead of being constantly chilled
by evaporation, is rendered worm and
genial. This result has been portico-
larly noticed in England and Scotland,
where very extensive areas bars ham

Antiquity of Playing Cards.
The gamo of cards was first played in
the east, and seems to have hod a mili
tary origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Enrojw at the time of the
Crnsades, and were first used by necro
mancers to foretell fortunes. They soon
became a i»opular amusement in the
south of Europe, where the Saracens
and Moors taught the people how to use
them, and card playing spread to all
parts of the continent. Tho state records
of Germany mention the fact that Ru
dolph I, in 127ft, was fond of the game
and played with his courtiers.
After the invention of paper the manu
facture of cards became extensive, but
declined somewhat when card playing
was forbidden by several of the German
states and by tho English government
on ucconut of the supposed immoral
tendency. Before the era of paper, cards
in the Orient were made of ivory, papy
rus and canvas, less frequently of the
precious metals, and quite commonly of
wood.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Speaker Crisp.
“The pecplo of all Georgia, and
almost all the south ire for Crisp for
speaker,’’ said Hon. Carter Tate, of
Ficklns, at the Kimball last evening;
“and if It bo true, has as boon stated,
that there aro two or three Georgia
congressmen attempting to knife him,
they will find themselves cut into mince
meat, politicially, when tho next elec
tion comes. Tho young men of Georgia
should see to lt that none of this
knifing business, claimed by outside
papers, goes on. 1 would gladly be ono
of 100 young men to go on to Washing
ton noxt fall to whoop up for Crisp,
Of course,that would not be expected to
influence tho votes of congressmen, but
it would show that Ills own state is
solidly, unanimously for him, outside
organs of other candidates to the con
trary notwithstanding.”
Judge Crisp doesn't talk much about
the outlook, but lie says he thinks his
chances good.—Atlanta cor. Columbus
