vet friese, bound by two gilt holdings.
The wall is in plain dark terra Gotta, with
base in lincrusta panels, finished in
variegated bronzes. The whole room is
relieved with broDzes of different hues,
the general effect being rich and etrik-
ing. All of this work was executed by the
well. known firm of Eckstrom & Stras-
burg, under the supervision OF Charles
B. Tidball. A private Office ia divided
off by handsome oak and glass pafti-
ton. This work WAS designed by the
Los Angeles Msntel Company, and 10
one of the most artistic specimens OF
hand carving ever produced in the city.
Back of the main Office is richly fur
nished parlor, where funeral services
may be held, in cases where it is desired
that barials shall take place from the
establishment. In the rear of the store
is a room where everything in the shape
OF the finest cloth-covered and metallic
caskets are exhibited, Messrs. Orr 4
Sutch carrying the largest stock OF any
house on the Coast. Embalming is also
special feature, and two vaults are also
provided in the store, where bodies may
be preserved until such time as friends
or relatives desire them shipped East or
inferred. Messrs. Orr & Sutch stand at
the head OF their profession, and have a
most enviable reputation, not only in
this city and in California, but all over
the country-a reputation which they
will doubtless fully maintain in the
future, as they have in the past.

CAME BACK.
Los Angeles County Better Than
He Thought.

He Thought.
A few months ago Mr.. r. r. Simpson
and family, residents of the San Gabriel
valley, came to the conclusion that they
were tired OF California. They said
more money could be made in the East,
and as for the GLORIOUS climate" here,
it had become monotonous and change
was desirable, So they packed up their
goods, sold their real estate, and re.
turned to town in Southern Illinois.
They had been in their new home only
two weeks when one of those destructive
cy clones, which are becoming 80 COM
mon in the Mississippi valley,
struck the town where they lived.
In few minutes thousands OF
dollars damage was done all around
them, and they barely escaped with their
lives. Up to the time of this disaster,
ever since they had left California, it had
rained constantly, and tine family had
already become homesick. The disaster
settled their minds, and they again
packed up and started with the first ex-
cursion for Southern California. They
are once more located in Los Angeles
county, and Mr.. Simpson requests that
his experience may be given to the pub
lie as q warning to any persons who
may be contemplating the foolish expert
ment he made.

Mrs. Mary f. hanchett. who died
recently at Chittenango. N. Y, was
the second woman graduate of an
American medical college. She re-

intelligence and force of character.
The Duchess of Edinburgh is a
sort OF crank on beds. When she was

again along the dry ledge of mount

reached, and after waiting an hour or
more my patience was rewarded by OBJ
tanning fat young buck, which quar-
tered and hung on tree, to await the
arrival of party of trappers who were
going to join me at the basin on the
following morning.
Before preparing for the night took
it into my head to have a partridge for
supper, and started out accordingly.
Luck seemed against me. and was
about to turn back for the basin, when
to my dismay, had not the least idea
which way to turn, and it had grown
very dark, the wind had come up. and
every appearance of cold night per-
vaded the air. While bordering what
to do, the wind brought to my ears
cry or moan so faint as to be hardly
heard above the whispering balsams.
but all doubt was removed by second
cry much nearer and more distinct than
the first. now realized what the cry
meant, and / knew that the smell OF
fresh vensiOn had attracted the nose of
one OF the ugliest animals of the forest,

L could make ready for an attack or

ahead of me parted, and with veil
sprang straight for my shoulders. and
would have struck me full in the chest
had not retained presence of mind to
drop on one knee and thus receive the
whole weight of the animal on my heels.
We both turned, but the cat was lust
little bit. quicker, and, catching
my arm in his open jaw, rolled me
over on my back, and at the same time
settled his jaws we'll into my hunting
jacket. With the arm that was free I
struggled desperately to reach my
hunting knife, that l might the sooner
end the struggle, which was beginning
to severely tell on my strength. At
last my arm was free from his jaws; he
had dropped it to use his teeth to bet
ter effect on my throat, and had nearly
accomplished this when from under the
bushes saw a black, shaggy mass fly
through the air and fasten itself on the
back of the cat who rolled over and
prepared tor another struggle, which
ended by plunging my knife to his
heart, and thus saving my dog-for it
was my watchful friena-from strug-
gle that must inevitably end in
victory for the bob-cat. l slept that
night with lynx for pillow and
log for foot-board, and was awakened
next morning by trappers who had
come in search of me, not finding me
at the basin. By the aid of poles we
carried the cat home, and when meas

suffocated, you know. There's that
case yesterday; the same story went
out about him."
"But he was asphyxiated by gas"
said the friend.
ITO be sure; but he did not blow it
out, simply and purely because he
couldn't. I've been or three coroner's
juries in my life where the subject
came to his death by gas poisoning. In
every case l found that the man
turned off the gas and acci.
dentally turned it on again. Usually
the jet is above ones head. He
intends to turn it short off and does so,
but in releasing his hold upon the key
his fingers unconsciously give it turn
to one side. I've been accustomed to
the use of gas all my life, but one night

chandelier was so high above my head
that | had to tiptoe to reach the key,
which my fourth finger knocked nearly
halfway round after my thumb and
fore finger had shut out the light.
Fortunately, was not downright
sleepy. and 1 smelled the escaping

'Why are not accidents of this kind

'That is due largely to the fact that
one is not likely to turn the key back
except where it is very loose. One that
turns hard would not be very likely to
move for the light tap given it by the
fourth and little fingers. And then
many people have the transoms and
windows open, while others discover
their blunder, as l did, before falling
asleep"
Couldn't very well find it out after
ward" said the friend, with an attempt
at smile.
Scarcely. In any event, / will not
believe that any man who has sense
enough to travel is such fool as not
to know that gas must be turned off.
