ADVICE To CHILL.

Chill, beware!
Our venerable Uncle Sam
Is slow to wrath, but when he starts
Out on the warpath
1t takes continent to hold him.
Be careful how you get
His dander up.
IT'S quite little trip around the Horn
To get in good position for kick
At you, but if he understands the trip
He'll get there
And mark you, Chill,
There is bird-a large, tough, healthy
bird
That has been known to fly
From Washington to Africa
And come back home with both his
talOns full
OF wool.
1t wouldn't take him very long to make
A flying visit anywhere
In South America.
He's harmless if he's let alone, but don t
Throw stones at him
Or poke him with your cane, for then
He's dangerous. This tough old fowl
still roosts
Upon the flag poles topmost end.
Below him waves the Stars and Stripes.
We call him, Chill,
The American
Eagle. And
You'd better
Not stir
Him
Up,

The old house shone Just as it did 40
Christmases ago. There was the same
snow outside, the negro lounging about
the barn, the abundance of food, the
scarcity of everything else. There was
no change here. Surely he and Nick
were twin boys still, and would present.
ly go out to chase rabbits in the woods.
Susy, his brothers wife, spoke with
precisely the same sweet falsetto voice
which his mother had used; how famil-
lar her gentle, thoroughbred ways were,
her hOusewifely lore, her busy fingers,
the calm, good humor with which she
bore lazy servants and screaming babies.
Surely, there's no gentlewoman on earth
like the Virginia woman!
The old feeling that he belonged to
this home-had always belonged to it
brought strange co mfort and security
to John Sutton. 1t was as if a solid
stone foundation had suddenly showed
itself under that Stacking tenement, his
life.
There was not woman in New York
who knew his first name, yet here was
Susy calling on "brother'' to decide
whether the ice on the pond was safe
for the children or not.
1t pleased him to be consulted, and he
went down to the pond. The boys ran
before shouting, but the little girls kept
by his side, thrusting their mittened
hands into his. He was afraid of them
all at first, but when he was alone with
them began to talk, and presently told of
the time when he was nearly drowned in
the pond

he said. little mortified chat he never

Lucy, the baby, soon was tired and be-
gan to cry. He took her up and Rugged
her in his arms.

next oldest baby. you're maxim I'm
Gle John tired on Christmas Day!''
IT like it," said Uncle John. The fat
little red face in its wooden hood pressed
softly against his own. 1t was the first
baby that he had ever held in his arms.
He actually tried to hum tune. When
he met Nicholas, however, he handed
her over quickly and grew silent and
stiff again.
Susy, soft and low of speech as she
was, she had keen intuitions. 1.-THE first

thing to be done to make him happy"
she said to Nicholas, sis to convince
him at once that he is necessary to us;
that his place was vacant until he came"
Hence, before the day was over John
found himself advising Nicholas how to
invest the thousand dollars which he had
in the savings bank, and promising Susy
to observe the boys keenly to decide
what business they were fit for.
While they were talking, the children
came swarming out to take him in to
dinner. 1t was the most important hour
in the day to them, and he saw that he
was the top and crown of it.
The great table was loaded as in the
olden time. The kindly black faces
beamed in on him at the doors. The
children Glung to his legs, leading him to
the chair of honor. When Nicholas, too,
was saying the usual long and tedious
grace, he suddenly stopped and, with
choke and sob, said: 81 thank God that
He has given us back our brother!" and
sat down, forgetting the rest.
John Sutton had partaken of count
less dinners in his life; but this seemed
to be the first meal that he had eaten
since he left this house, boy of six
teen. When it was nearly over, he said:
II am going to ask for my Christmas
gift, Nicholas" laying his hand on Bob's
shoulder. at is that you will let me
have this boy, to provide for his future
when we go back to New York"
Back to New York! Why, John, you

brother, aghast.

smile tlickered over Mr.. Sutton's face.

fortnight ago." He looked around the
table for rejoicing, but there was none.
Susy looked at him in dismay Nicholas
stood up, his rough face slowly losing its
color.
Pm glad you have your millions still,
john" he said; "but-I have lost my
brother"
NO." John Sutton said-''no." He
was not man of words. He looked at
the room, at the fire burning on the
hearth, at the faces which in one short
day had grown so familiar and dear; his
calm eyes grew dim. But yesterday his
life was empty; he had found here ON
this Christmas Day that which had made
it full and sweet forever
You never shall take back the love
which you have given me-" he said.
This is my home. "-Rebecd Harding

MONEY MOTION.

During the discussion of the United
States Banking bill in Congress some time
in 1885 or 1896 John Randolph of Roanoke
who was opposed to the passage of the
bill which was intended to establish a
United States bank, said that he had dis
covered perpetual motion, and it was
very simple, being the fact that
paper makes money,
Money makes banks,
Banks make poverty,
Poverty makes rags,
Rags make paper,
Paper makes money,
Money makes banks,''
and so on forever and 'fOrever.-From

Certainly. The train starts at mid
night. Now"-he hesitated redden
ing-"your clothes, JohnP If you would

creditors, you knowP I've got plenty for
us both. Don't bring rag"
John laughed. "Oh, it is not so bad
as that!" he said. "Peter will you put
some clothes in valise."
The same old stupid, generous Nick!
But, as his brother planned the journey,
Mr.. Sutton scanned him bewildered. The
staid planter had evidently quite forgot
ten the scrapegrace of 80 years ago. He
took inteed, the admonitory tone of an
elder brother to the reckless city man.
II hope you'll be able to content your
self on the plantation, John" he said
mo balls, no operas, you know. No
French dishes such as I saw at Bob's
grand cafe! Just the same old, quiet
house, and Debby for cook"

Nicholas looked at him astonished.
"Why, surelyl- Do you mean that you

the old place two years ago. I've been
working and saving for it ever since

God"
Bought it back! Did not father
give it to you?"
Both men rose in their excitement.
There has been great mistake here,
| see," said Nicholas, in strained voice.
Major Holt had a mortgage on the
plantation-surely you remember? He
foreclosed the year you went to London.
Turned my father and the girls out
penniless! Where did they go?"
II had work in Staunton, clerking,
carpentering-anything - to make an
honest penny. They lived with me.

thought" He walked hastily across
the room, forgetting to finish the SEN
tence.
The scapegrace Nick had worked all
these years in poverty for his father and
sisters. 1t was he who was the prodigal
son-he who had wasted his substance.
Mr.. Sutton did not speak word of
repentance or remorse to his brother, but
there was something in his face when he
turned which no man had ever seen there
before.
ut is nearly time for us to CO." he
said, looking at his watch. "Are-are
you sure that your wife and children
will care to see me, Nick? They have
no reason to welcome me.'

you as well as do! You have been the
hero of all my old stories. reckon I've
bored them with you many time!
Here is Bob, he'll tell you what a rous-
ing welcome you'll haver'
'Oh! This is Bob?" Mr.. Sutton
took the lad by both hands, looking into
his flushed, smiling face. A queer
til ught came to him. "If l had a son
like this boy" and then, "Can l ever
make Bob love me like a son?''

lie must keep his own skirts clean.
When his father came in search of the
boy he found him in Jail, where he lad
been sent as drunken vagrant. The old
man was bitter in his reproaches to John.
He took the boy to his heart, assuring
him that ''many Virginian gentlemen in
their youth had been too fond of wine
and cards"
"A weak old man." Mr.. Sultan told
himself now, as he sat thinking bitterly
over each misererable detail; 'but the
prodigal son is always the hero, while
the dcccntlelder brother is snubbed and
neglected"
For himself, he had not waited for the
neglect. He had found situation in
London, and turned his back forever on
the old home in Virginia and the
wretchcd sot who had disgraced it. He
returned no answer to the letters which
followed him. They ceased at last. He
remained in England five years, in which
time his father died.
He did not know now whether Nicho-
las was living or dead, and he had told
himself thousand times that he did not
care. But of late years he found himself
going back every day to the old house
and the nut trees and the coon hunts and
the river. What fellow Nick was
Hunting or riding or driving, always
ahead! as much life in him as in dozen
other boys. Mr.. Sutton, as Nick's
schemes and jokes and scrapes came
back to him, would shake with laughter,
though he saw no finn in anything nova
days. He always had relished his
pranks; but then he never had felt to any
human being just as he did to that boy
Nickl
He did not know why these old boyish
days should haunt him as they did lately;
perhaps his life was lonelier than that of
other men. He was satisfied that it had
been most correct, admirable life but,
without doubt, it was empty-something
was lacking in it which other men had.
As lac sat, pretending to sip his coffee,
several men whom he knew passed him.
He fancied that there was something pc
culiar III their manner tonight; they
paused, after the usual bow and smile, to
exchange word or two with him with
an uneasy expression of curiosity-or
was tt-pity?-on their faces. A couple of
Western men, strangers, beckoned to the

A GLADSTONE "REMINISCENCES.
A Decision in the Case of Elliott VS..
Boyce Yesterday.

A Decision in the Case of Elliott VS..
Boyce Yesterday.
A decision was handed down by Judge
Shaw in department five of the superior
court yesterday in the case of Elliott vs.
Boyce ct al, which came before him
some ii ne ago on demurrer by the de-
fendant.
The suit was brought to recover from
individual stock holders of the Gladstone
Improvement company. In May, 1887,
H. Ii. Boyce and his associates in the
company entered into an agreement with
J.-R. Elliott, the plaintiff in the suit,
for the purchase of tract Of land.
They agreed to pay the sum of $40 500
for the land, and did pay $500 upon
the contract. The balance was to be
paid in installments of $4,000 each.
But one payment was made, and Eli
OFT secured judgment for the balance,
but there was not enough realized on
the sale of the property to satisfy the
claim held bv Elliott. He then brought
the present action against the indi-
vidual stockholders, who demurred to
the complaint.
Judge Shaw overruled the demurrer
and allowed the defendants ten days in
which to file their answer to the COM
plant.

LA CRESCENTA.

In mentioning the improvements 60
ing ahead at this place the very sub
stantial ones being made by Messrs.
Thompson and Polfrey (both residents
Of the Hawaiian islands), should not be
overlooked. They own some eighty or
more acres, ten OF which are now set to
navel oranges, doing finely, and they
will the coming season put in twenty
acres to lemons, ten more to oranges
and ten to prunes, and will follow with
twenty acres of olives.
DIR. Thompson, who was formerly OF
the health department of this city. is
we'll and favorably known to our best
citizens. He is now government sur
geon of one of the districts OF the Ha-
waiian islands, but expects to return
shortly and build fine residence in the
mountains overlooking his Crescenta
property. He owns some fine property
on Alvarado street and in other por-
tions of our city.
Mr.. Polfrey, the doctors partner, is a
young man who has made himself inde-
pendent by attention to business in Ha-
wali, and will also in the near future
make his home at Crescenta.
That part of the county is looking up
very rapidly and will doubtless soon be
known as one of the finest suburbs of
our city, possessing homes equal to any,

A Pest House Proposition.

EDrroRs HERALD; There is not man,
woman or child in the city OF Los An
geles but what is interested In removing
the smallpox hospital from its present
position, surrounded as it is by resi-
dences, with all the brick yards just
apove it in the cafion, SO that men can
not go to or from their work and no
brick can be hauled from the yards
without passing within few feet OF the
door OF the pest house. 1t is simply a
menace to the city, even when there is
but one patient in it; but as we do not
particularly need to move it Just now
there is but little thought or care about
it. We have had within few years
three epidemics of this loathsome dis
ease, and recollect wellwhat happened
at these times think in 1876 or III that
the citizens Of Los Angeles had public
meeting and prepared resolutions de-
claring that the city authorities had the
power to take men, women or children
from their homes and carry them away
from the city, so that they could not
com mmunicate the disease to others, and
that for the purpose of carrying out this
object they had right to uee powder,
uyuhIultc VI duy ObucI CApiOsltcb W
blow down houses, etc. Public senti-
ment is hard thing to control when it
is thoroughly aroused, but few cool
headed men succeeded in quieting the
population at that time. The next epi-
demic was in 1S87-88 at this time the
people became SO excited about remov-
ing the pest house that the city council
for the wans of any other place, con-
cluded to move it furGhor up the canon
onto the Elysian park, thus proposing
to ruin 450 acres OF park worth 500, 900,
for that purpose, and | think would
have done so if they had not found that
it was illegal, and that some of the
SaE Francisco authorities had been ar
rested for putting tent in one OF the
city parks for smallpox patients.
Prepare for war in time OF peace is a
wise maxim, and now when there is no
excitement on this subject offer to sell
to the city for smallpox hospitals the
most suitable place that there is within
ten miles Of the city, as it is easy Of
access, completely isolated from roads
or buildings, and would have the least
objection interposed to its occupancy as
pest house of any place within five
miles OF the city. In fact, do not
think there are ten men in the city that
would not be in favor OF securing it
Immediately at fair price ii they knew
where it is and how it is situated. Will
the city apthorities consider this matter
in its proper light, or will they cay, like
