You may sing of the beauty of springtime
That glows on the cheek of the young,
But | sing of a beauty that's rarer
Than any of which you have sung
The beauty that's seen in the faces
OF women whose summsr is DER,
The autum-like beauty that charms
Far more than the beauty of yore.
But this beauty is seen too rarely. TIL
faces of most women lose the beauty of
youth too soon. Female disorders are
like ffosts which come to nip the flowers
which betoken good ath, without
which there can be no real beauty. Il

selves against the approch of the terrible

Testing Horses Feet.

j. &. Henry, of San Diego, CAL, through

suggests novel means of testing the
condition of horses feet. Take bat

felt with moist hands. Attach one ter

the same in principle. From basement
to roof every modern improvement
known to the trade, every inventive ap-
plance Of value have been effectively
employed. This triumph of plumbing is
the work of Mr.. A. Duncan, whose place
of business is at 200 South Fort street,
and he is justified in saying that the
plumbing in the Bryson Il Bonebrake
block outranks that of any building in
Los Angeles. Mr.. Duncan, since his ad-
vent in business here some two years
ago. has fitted up several noted subur-
ban hotels, prominent among which are
the Magnolia at North Ontario, the
Rialto, the San Dimas and the Sini
hotel. He did the work in his depart
ment on Mayor Bryson's private resi-.
dence, and the residence of Mr.. John
Bryson Jr. The plumbing of Mr..
Johnson's beautiful residence on Hope
street is also a marked instance of Mr..
Duncan's skill.

fitting up stores and Offices. The fine
work in DR.. Heinzeman's drug store, on

Mantel Company. In the Bryson- Bone
brake building, besides furnishing the
magnificent array of mantels which are

there. While the Bryson- -Bonebrake
building is monumental record of Mr..
Rebman's skill and energy, he has done
other work in the building line in the
past two years which, without the later
triumph, would place him in the
front rank of builders. Mr.. Reb-
man was the contractor and builder
of the California bank building, that
handsome edifice whose beauty grows
upon the beholder dav by day. He
built the palatial residences of Mr.. j.
Loew and Doctor Graves, the fine hotel
at San Gabriel and the equally elegant
hotel at North Ontario. Mr.. Rebman's
energy is tireless. Besides superintend-
ing the construction of the Bryson-
BonebrakE block, which has occupied q
year, he finds time to look after the in.
terests of the Los Angeles Mantel Com
pany, of which he is half owner and
manager. He is here, there, everywhere,
as business calls him. Now at the great
building, directing some difficult under
taxing; at the warerooms, filling some
complicated order, or at the factory per-
fecting some new design for a mantel.
Mr.. Rebman is thorough in all that he
undertakes and he gave his personal su-
pervision to the thousand and one details
in the construction of the noble Bryson-
Bonebrake building.
Charles Tossell, Contractor,
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
connected with the erection of the Bry-
son. Bonebrake building was the rapidity
with which it was done. Few under.
takings of this character have been so
quickly achieved, for, be it remembered,
the great edifice was completed and oc-
cupied inside of twelve months from the
time the first stone of the super-struc-
ture was laid. This brilliant fruition of
the architects plan was due to the
energy and wise direction of Mr.. Charles
Tossell, the contractor for the stone
masonry and brick-laying. From the
indestructible deep foundations cf flinty
concrete and the massive body of solid

stated, the enterprise was . sue
cess from the start, and the fine work
produced has given it widespread and
high reputation. The stock carried in
the commodious warerooms of the COM
pany is very large one, and
comprises mantels from plain wood
to ornate marble and costly onyx.
In things every conceivable de-
sign is shown; and in CRATES and brass
work the latest and most attractive de-
signs. The Los Angeles Mantel Com
pany is home industry to which every
Angelefio can point to with pride, and it
will be honored as the nucleus around
which other industries shall cluster.

J. Rcbman, Contractor and Builder
The builder of the Bryson- -Bonebrake
building does not believe in letting the
grass grow under his feet. He is . rep
resentative go-ahead business man and
has been identified with building inter-
ests for more than twenty years. Mr..
Rebman came to this city from San
Francisco some two years ago, and dur
ing his career there superintended the
construction of some of the finest build
ings in the Western metropolis. Nota.
BILE among these was the Baptist College
at Highland Park, Oakland. Mr.. Reb-
man was also in the hardware business
in San Francisco, and for several years
carried on two extensive establishments

most approved kind and capable of doing
