"InckYn RaIdMin,s Great Ranch

Millionaire Bald vim now divides his
time between that city and Santa ANITA
ranch. He looks little Rraver than he
did five years ago, bGs he seems as vigOr-
Gus as ever. He still owns about 60 900
acres of the finest land in the San Gabriel
Valley, and boasts of the most beautiful
orange grove in Southern California, az
well as Of the largest and choicest sjable
of thoroug hbr-ds. During the great
boom In land in Southern California
Baldwin sold about 600 acres at prices
ranging from $500 10 s 800 an acre for
uuim proved LAND. He sold forty acres to
Studebaker, the great wagon u 4ker, for
81 900 n acre. Upon his ranch at Santa
Anita grew up several large towns with
fine hotels and costly brick bu.iuess
blocks. Baldwin, however, refused tn sell
any of the Orange groves or vineyards
about his pretty chateau on the artificial
lake at Santa Anita, and every year adds
to the beauty of this great domain.
Here are the padd9cks and stalls of his
costly trottiug horses, with the circular
tracks for exercise. The place has never
been SO com pletely fitted up az SiaLford's
PalO Alto stud farm, bat much good
work has been done. Bald Win told q
friend of mine, when he first began to
cauter his horses in racer, that his sole
reason for going on the turf was 10 es-
cape from the habit of stock speculation
H felt the need of strong excitement,
which the reckless gambling III mining
sharts in San Francisco graGIfed, and the
only substitute that be could think Of was
horse racing. He was a good judge of
horses, aud he believed the suu.nern
California climate, near the Sierra Madre
Mountsins, was better adapted to breed
ing than sny other in the State. He
spent money Literally on his stable, ard
all his best trotters were born and bred
at Santa Anita. His recent announce
ment of MS retirement from the turf lie
regarded By mis- friends as q sign that he
has grown weary of the cares of mansg-
ing string of valuable trotters, and that
even the excitement of stalking large
SUNS on races has palled on him. II be
deyotes himself to breeding, as he an
nocncss that he will, his stable ought to
rank well up the Palo Alto for his young
sters.

Little maid in homespun gown
Simple as the daisies.
Loving lips and eyes of brown
Let me sing your praises
Shall call my love flower
Gathered TO my bCsJm:
No, they fade from hour TO hour,
And want my blossom.
Shall cali her precious pearl?
Set not jewels nigh her.
Only just a country girl,
Yet not king could buy her
Shall call her angel bleSt,
Whitest soul of woman:
Stay | think | ike her best
Laughing, weeping human.
Is she, then a sparkling star
Sent to guide and cheer me?
All. the skies are cold ami far,
Ard | Ike her near me.
Not a name is there on earth
OF a poets giving
Fit 10 tell one-half her worth,
Real, true, and living.
Rhymes and words of mystery
Only would amaze her;
For her own sweet self il she,
Aud all my deeds shall praise her.

On Thanksgiving Day Mr.. Thomas
Brady, who has for number of years
been most efficient clerk or copyist in
the office OF the Clerk of Court, left An.
derson to visit relatives several miles
south of the city. The next two days
passed away and Mr.. Brady did not re.
turn. This was something unusual, for
it was not often that he was absent from
the Office more than day at time.
Col. Tribble, the Clerk Of Court, became
uneasy about the young mans continued
absence, and, upon inquiry, learned that
be had boarded the cars at Starr and gone
to Augusta, Ga. Several days more
elapsed, and still nothing was heard from
Mr.. Brady. Col. Tribble then sent a
young man to Augusta to sec If he could
find him. The young man spent day or
two in Augusta, and upon his return to
Anderson, stated that he could hear OF
Mr.. Braddy being in Augusta, but he was
unable to find him. About this time it
was quietly whispered around that MIR.
Brady had carried Col. Tribble's safe key
off with him, and it was feared that there
was something wrong. His friends, how
ever, did not want to believe that such
was the Gaze.
Col. Tribble waited until last Monday,
and still not hearing anything from Mr..
Brady, he determined to bore into the
safe, as he was compelled to get some
papers from it. The safe was opened, and,
upon examination, about three hundred
dollars were missing. The money was
Col. Tribble's own private funds and the
locy fo1 11o 1,1
The news, of the embezzlement spread
rapidly throughout the city, and was q
great shock to our whole people, for
every body knew Tom. Brady, and es-
teemed him highly as an upright, honora-
BILE young man. He had the utmost con-
fdence of Col. Tribble, and made most
efficient, accommodating and courteous
clerk in the Office. He is about twenty
years old, and entered the office as copy
ist under Capt.J. w. Daniels. For some
time past he has been slyly indulging in
strong drink, which no doubt is the sequel
of his downfall. It is the general opinion
that, had be conducted himself right and
held his position, he would, at some
future Gay, have been the Clerk of Court
for Anderson County.
No effort has yet been made TO arrest
