A PRETTY ROMANCE.
A Gifted ton I’mwUM T,un, Woman
Artist Had aa Interesting Start.
People who noticed in The Examiner
window a splendid cast of the head of
Sitting Ball will he interested to hear
the pretty romance of the yonng artdet
whoae work it was. . 1
It was modeled bx Mia Alice Ride-
oot, a young lady of leas than 18 years
o# age, who has jRhady shown such tal-
’ \ ent that ehe bids' fair to take front rank
v, among the host of artiata that the Pacific
■dope can claim aa Us own.
Her first start in her chosen profession
can be 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, ehe passed the
open door of a sculptor's studio. Tbs
animal nuhed in and, with apparent de
liberation, knocked orer the 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 the floor. The at
tendant was’ wild.
The girl endeavored to make excuses
for the dog, but nothing would answer.
Offers were made to pay for the damage,
hot to no avail. The man, dreading that
upon the artist's return he would loee
his position, was inconsolable. The girl
begged to be allowed to repair the piece,
and after repeated entreaties the man
consented, with the remark that while
he did not believe it could be fixed, he
was very certain she could not injure it.
.He mixed the clay for her, and watched
with interest the unpracticed fingers
doing the work that the accomplished
artist had so lately finished and taken so
much pride in. An hour passed with
moat gratifying results; the arm waa re
stored and was perfect; the attendant
was happy.
Another hour the leg approached com
pletion, when lo, the artist appeared on
the scene. He took in the situation at a
glance, and unnoticed by the occupants
of the room watched the work. Fin
ished, explanations are in order and
given. The artist is charmed, declares
tho work of restoration has added new
charms to the piece, and having beard

Drainage.
How few pcoplp realise the results of
extensive drainage, inch as a highly civl
iliaed country presents. No Inconsider
able changes arc 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, it carried away underground
through drain pipes. Consequently the
air is not so moist as formerly, ami the
■ail, instead of being constantly chilled
by evaporation, ia rendered warm and
■■rial. This result has been particu
larly noticed in England and Scotland,
