seek sentimental contact with tho solotnn
long frocked friaru. Tho cople thorn
solve llxe in a Rooming condition of
poetry, ntTect the plcturenqtio nud ro
mantic, and open wldo their cyea when
tho outside barbarian comes In and talks
of tiade and practical things. Thero is
nn air of gentle optimism over tho wholo
town and a tteuso of pity for the com
mon herd who happen not to know of
Santa Barbara. One fcola euro, after
a stay in that community, that nothing
wrong could happen there, nnd that llfo
is only a matter of roBo leaves nud lilies,
after nil. I henrd onco of a pretty youth
who had tho heart of n ileud and tho face
of a god. Ho murdered IiIh father
nud mother in cold blood, and when
brought to the bar of justieo for his aw
ful crimo was naked if ho could give any
good reason why ho should not bo exe
cuted. Ho looked over tho jury, mado
up of sentimental men, nnd putting"n
tear in Ids voice ho Implored them to
have mercy upon him "Becnuso ho was
nn orphan." Tho plea had its effect, Tho
jury foil upon ono another's necks, and
weeping in symimthy for tho pretty
prisoner, promptly acquitted him. Now
this must havo been n Santa Barbara
Jury. I can think up no other spot on
earth where this doubtless authentic
circumstance could hare happened.
But, jesting asldo, Santa Barbara is
really nn earthly paradise. Its repose
and sedato contentment nro restful for
tho tired traveler, and ono ceases to won
der why II. II. nud tho magazine coterio
have worn themselves out in its glorifi
cation. It justifies nil, or nearly nil,
that hits been said about it, nnd I shall
not let nny gall gather in tho honey of
my pen. Of course it believes it has n
great future. Not n vulgar commercial
or manufacturing future, for that is re
pugnant to its refined tasto, but a ftituro
uuiquo in the history of tho United
States. I strolled on tho sen beach nnd
listened to ono of Santa Barbara's colob
rlties whisper to mo tho confident story
of the city's future. "Wo havo n ell
mato," ho began (thnt, by tho way, is tho
first thing you hear all over southern
California climate) "wo havo n cli
mate more perfect than any in tho wldo
world. Existence hero is n luxury. Wo
havo beautiful groves, abundant fruits,
scenery unexcelled, a never frothed sea
and a valley so beautiful and sereuo that
ono dozes away ouo's llfo. Wo know
neither frost nor cold, summer is eternal
and sunshiuo continuous. Hero then
lies tho secret of Santa Barbara's ftituro.
Hero is this restful valley, by the sldo of
this peaceful ocean, tho world worn
American will como with his household
gods to end his days iu serenity and
quiet. After ho has won his way in tho
bustling outsido world hero ho will come
to settle and bring up his children and
enjoy tho semi-tropical beauty of Santa
Barbara. This placo will bo In tlmo tho
homo of tho refined rich, and it will bo
oomo greater and moro famous than tho
Mediterranean Riviera."
Tho picture of Santa Barbara was not
overdrawn. It was all that my friend
pointed, and tho pleasant prospect for
tho future did not seom unreasonable.
But will it como to pass? Scarcely. Wo

nurry there is no considerable number
of people who, though thoy wero rich as
Croesuses, would bo content to sit down
l&nd doze nway oven tho autumn of their
days. Money getting nnd inonoy grab
bing is our common heritage. The
Goulds and tho Vaudorbilts, tho Stan
lords and tho As tors, aro richer than can
Jbo comfortable, but thoy do not stop in
tho pursuit of money. As long as thero
is u dollar ahead thoy nro going for it,
land going for it with a zest nud eager
pics as though their lives depended on
Jt. In that they find tho pleasure, not
In sitting down and resting. And while
there Is a class of Americans who aro

to retire from business, It is not to tho

No description of Santa Barbara will
glvo one a fair Idea of the place. Not
that It Is so very beautiful, or that one
get a suggestion of Arcadia In entering
from tho railway or tho sea. Far from
It. Tlio train stopiiuidwny, the steamer
at the fool, of tho long finely paved
lending Htitu't which Is full or hustle,
nnd tolls of the working world. Butnf
tor one has been theie a day or two and
Is nway fiom tho ptliicipal thoroughfare,
tho seductive atmospheio has its sooth'
ing Intlueiice nud you feel wlint n restful
region you are in. Llfo then lucks ani
mation, although tho delicious oxygen la
iilitiiitlnnt In lienlth giving proiortion.
For tho time being tho outsido world Is
forgotten, nnd you enn imaglno that Ila
mona lives; so do FcI!o and Allessen
dro nnd Senora Moreno. I'erlmps they
aro now going to their beautiful Cam
ulos beyond Ventura. Or you may meet
them this very evening at the mission,
when you go up nnd wntch tho friars in
tho coarse robes of their order, with
shaven faces, closely cropped hair, san
daled and girded, ring tho Aiigelusl
The neighborhood of tho mission Is
tinged with melancholy. Over one
hundred yeats ngo when they llrst
planted the cross among the Indians in
this suerb valley, thoy wero tho Intel
ligent ossessors of tho soil. Hut the
whirligig of tlmo brought many changes.
Tlio order then was rich nnd is uowoor.
Thoy then gavo of their means; thoy
now live on the bounty of tho peoplo;
their iuilucnco is gone; their power do
parted forever. Tlio dull routine of their
lives, their narrow colls nnd solitary
walks tell of resignation nud ovcrty,
but thoy cannot bo human if they do not
sigh for the old days, when to their re
ligious llfo wns udded tho worldly charm
of grent wealth nnd unlimited swny.
Behind tho mission tit Santa Barbara,
down tho long valley, nro tho great
ranches. I spent a day or two visiting
them. Tho most noted ono is that of
Ellwood Coojer, which can only bo
reached, directly, by a drivo of sixteen
miles along a hot nnd dusty road. We,
howovcr, choson longer journey, through
llttlo farms nnd picturesque canyons,
starting in the morning nnd arriving in
tho cool of tho afternoon.
Tho Cooper and Holllstor ranches aro

tlvation. They nro Inclosed by tall euca
lyptus trees, and within their giant bor
ders are tho nlmond, olive nnd English
wnlnut orchards, so large and symmet
rical In extent nnd perfection as to al
most pass comprehension. The trees are
numbered by thousands, and the almonds
being in bloom the eoft pink coloring
makes a marvelous picture. Down in
tho canyon is tho ranchman's residence,
a llttlo flo wer bedecked house, and around
it ho toils like an ordinary farmer, nl
though his trees bring him in a fortune
overy year. "Some years our crop is
better than others," was tho owner's ob
servation; "last year we only" only,
mark youl "gathered sixty-six tons of
English walnuts nnd thirty-seven tons of
almonds from our troos. This year they
will probably do better. Our olives are
tho most profltablo product, and wo send
out mnuy thousands of bottles of ollvn
oil," ho said simply. Thirty men work
this enormous farm, which makes more
money for its owner than any gold initio
in California,
When wo returned from tho visit to
tho big ranches wo stopped near tho
cathedral oaks, and up the mountain
pass camo nctoss n tidy littlo farm over
looking tho boundless bay of Santa Bar
bara. Tho ownor offered us hospitality,
and as I chatted with her a bright eyed
old woman, partly crippled with eastern
rheumatism I ascertained that sho camo
from Marblehead and had settled at
Santa Barbara for relief from her physi
cal ills.
"Do you like It?" I inquired.
"Yes, I like It," she said, as sho looked
fondly out upon tho ocean. "My rheu
matism is better. Tho only thing is, there
ain't 'yawtlng' enough hero to suit me."
Poor old soul! She was born and
brought up In old Maiblehead, whcio ov
ery man, woman and child is part mid
parcel of a boat. Probably sho could
novcr again enter tho 6inall cabin of a
vessel, but sho still longed for tho smacks
and yachting of her native town.
"Do you still consider yourself n Mar
blehead woman?" I asked.
"No, no," sho quickly answered. "1
am now a Santa Barbarian."
