aroused some eft!le neighbcrs, but when
they arrived they were too late to DC

and they at once concluded that it was
a narrow escape from highway robbery.
However, it was rot carpet bag nc

The loftiests house, and the most per-
feet in tho matter Of architecture have
ever seen, was that which a wood-chOp-
per occupied with his family one win
ter in the forest of Santa Cruz County.
1t was the cavity of redwood tree, two
hundred and forty feet in height. Fire
had eaten away the trunk at the base.
until . circular room had been formed,
sixteen feet in diameter. At twenty
feet or moro from the ground was q
knot hole, which afforded egress for
tho smoke. With hammocks hung from
pegs, and few cooking utensils upon
other pegs, that house lacked no essen.
tial thing. The woodman was in pos
session Of . house which had been a
thousand years in process OF building.
Perhaps on the very day it was finished
he came along and entered in. How did
all jack knife and hand saw architecture
sink into insignifcsnce in contrast with
this house in the solitudes of the great
forest! Moreover, the tenant Jared like
. prince. Within thirty yards of his
ceniferous house mountain stream went
rushing past to the sea. In the swirls
and eddies under the shelving rocks, il
one could not land half a-dczen trout
within an hour, he deserved to 60 hun.
cry - . penalty for his awkwardnsss.
Now and then deer came out into the
openings, and at no great distance, quail,
rabbits, and pigeons conld be found.
What did this man want moro than
Nature furnished him He had house
with "cupola" two numbered and forty
feet high, aud game at the cost oftsking
it. This Arcadian simplicity would have
made . lasting impression, but for a
volunteer remark, that nothing could
be added to give life more perfect zest.
"Well, yes" said he, 81 reckon if you
are going back to town, you might tell
Jim to send me up gallon of whiskey,
and some plug tobacco" 1t will not do
to invest . hollow tree with too much
sentiment and poetry. II that message
had not been suggested, We should have
been under the dciusion to this day that
the lives of those people dwelling in q
house fashioned q thousand years ago,
