A Brief Sketch of Herman w. HeIIm
One of Los Angeles' Ablest Bankers

Brief Sketch of Herman w. HeIIman,
One of Los Angeies' Ablest Bankers. 4
Mr.. Herman w. Hellman, vicespresi-
dent of the Farmers and Merchants
bank of Los Angeles, was born in Ba-
varia in 1S43. Alter having received his
primary education in one of the German
schools, Mr.. Hellman at the age of is
left his native land and home and came
to the Pacific coast. His first business
venture consisted of clerkship ia the
commission business o. Gen. Rhineas
Banning at Wilmington. In the year Of
1859 Mr.. Hellman came to Los Angeles.
where he engaged in the book and sta
tionery business until the event of his
revisiting Europe in 1870. Returning
in 1871, he founded the large Wholesale Z
grocery firm OF Hellman, Haas 4 Co.,
from which. after a prosperous career,
he Withdrew in 1890. Mr.. Hellman's
inclination leading toward finance, and
possessing some great ability in that
branch, be engaged in the banking busi-
nesR, associating himself with the above
named firm, OF which he ia now vice-
president, acting manager and director,
having through his ability placed
this institution upon q mist proc.
peIous footing. 1t has q capital OF
$500. 900 and surpius and profit OF over

recent financial strain the Farmers and
Merchants bank Was the financial Glib
raltar of Los Angeles. so great wAs the
public confidence in the ability Of Mr..
Hellman as a finaneier that the amounts
OF deposits he'd actually increased in
Juy, 1898, in the sum OF 5000 sinoe
January lst OF the came year, proving
effecfualiy the unlimited trust and con-
hdencs the pablo place ia the honor

AFRICAN FOLK LORE.

Stories Encouraged by Stanley on His
Travels in AfricS.
H. M. Stanley has followed up his
many contributions to geography by
adding to the knowledge OF African folk
lore. 1t was his custom, when ON his
travels, says the London Graphic, to
gather his followers round the campfire
at night and to reward those who told
good stories and legends with pieces of
cloth. In this way he learned many
curious tales of Central Africa and found
that Ole Brer Rabbit ia not az inven-
ton Of the negro of the eouthern states
Of North America, but lie a product of
the Central African forest, and has
drifted by the west coast across to
America.
In Wiilimosi, Uganda, the story is
told how rabbit and an elephsnt went
into partnership, and how the rabbit
not only outwitted his partner, but aleo
ell the other great animals, and de-
ceived them in the most puerile way.
Besides stories of animals, there ara
African conundrums which delighted
King Mtesa. There WAS very old man
with white hair who was & great man at
the simplest Sort with which Sampson
long ago puzzled his companions:
What ia it that always goeE straight
ahead and never locks back ?" "What
is it that ia bone on the outside and
meat within" and What is it that
looks both ways when you pass it?''
None Of the natives could guess any OF
these riddles, though the answers were
not foreign to their everyday life, being
q river, an egg, and grass.
AS a specimen of the old mans wis
dom Mr.. Stanley quotes: when peo-
pie have provisions in their huts they
do not say, Let US 20 into another mans
house and rob him." The theory that
man is descended from African apes does
not find favor among the Basoko OF the
Aruwimi. They affirm that the progen-
itor of man was monstrous toad, which
was the fret living thing on earth, and
which made man and woman, who
wore afterward meulded into shape BY
tho moon. The moon appears to have
played an important part in the creation
of the world, and to have been the pro-
tsctor Of the FIRST men.

quarrelin times"
"Y ou should have done your talking
before marriage and held your hands
afterwards," bluntly spoke the OLD
woman opposite.
'But what ken be done now? It's
a-gettin' go komplerkated, you know.

worry an quarrelin', an Reubin does
nothin' at all but gabble, gable, CAB

do-seeiDg we're married ?"
"Do? Why, quit quarreling at once.
Coin your energy into work. Save up.
When ready, buy such place you can
tend we'll and pay up on"
Having given this piece of oracular
advice the old woman opposite picked
up her bundle. nodded, and quickly
passed out OF the car.

worlds fair question the meeting ad-
journed. Following the meeting the
board were addressed by Mr.. H. G. T.
Veracity, who when young man came
TO Los Angeles in 1898. He gave an in
teresting account of the city as it APP
peared at that time; the buildings, in
stitutions, etc., of those days, which
althought then considered excellent,
would be insignificant in the Los Ange-
les of today. He spoke of the people
who were here then and how, although
they were enterprising and progressive,
did not realize the greatness which was
to come. Mr.. Veracity also spoke OF the
transportation facilities of the old days I;
how it took five days for the journey
from New York and how nearly all rail-
roads, boats and engines were operated
by steam instead OF electricity and
vibratory forces as at present. The vast
Importance of the Nicaragua canskwas
evidently not appreciated as work On it
was actually stopped for year. The
progress OF the city until the time that
1t reached its present position of the
Pacific coast metropolis Of the two
Americas was reviewed.

CLEANS as of electric lights. The water

In the tropics, at great depth, and the
gardens of the sea afford to the drifting
visitor never-ending delight. To the
lover OF good fishing Catalina is a para
disc.
The northern portion of the Island
is revelation. Instead of the sharp
points of mountain peaks, here is
broad plateau extending over to the
west shore, and wide valleys suggestive
of agricultural possibilities. From far
below comes the roar of the sea as it
breaks upon the rocks, the weird cry Of
the seR-lion, and occasionally out from
the flying iog dsshes white winged
gull that seems to separate itself from
the cloudmass and become an animate
being.
The entire west coast faces the sea,
with forbidding walls of rock rising
from 500 TO 1900 feet, breasting the sea
with bold front, hurling masses OF
foam high in air, and in the occasional
WinlCl bbOiM LIS loImiuk a SThuQ Bp6C-

sandy beaches against which the waves
beat. and approachable ouly on calm
DAYS.
The climatic possibilities of Catalina
have attracted much atteRtion among
medical men all over the cUdntry. Cat !
alma in summer, with its perfect eli
mate, is always cool. yet the winter, if
possible. ia even more delightful. Then
it is that the true beauties of this isle OF I
summer are seen. The rains, which
curiously enough are less than on the
mainland. change the brown hills to I |
vivid green, and we have an emerald in
an azure setting.
Myriad flowers spring up, and the facs
OF the island is changed as if BY magic.
They grow to the very ocean edge; their
delicate forms oyerhang the water and
are reflected in it. On the west coast,
where high seas rage during the winter
storms. the beds of wild-fowers are deli (
uged by the spray that, hurled high in
the air, is borne away over the fields to :
cover the delicate forms with cleaning
spangles of salt. Catalina is an isle OF I
summer. Who knows but what Cata-
lima may become the Block island of !

beauty, wealth and fashions.

SANTA CATALINA.

A Favorite Pleasure Resort In the Pa
cific Ocean.
Santa Catalina island lies 30 miles off
the shores of Los Angeles county. and
if asked to describe it one might say
that a lofty spur Of the Sierra Madre,
by some strange convulsion, had strayed
away from the mother range, and now
rests in the deep Pacific, it's lofty peaks
rising to form the island Of Santa Cata-
lima.
In days gone by, the natives reached
Catalina in long, narrow canoes; now
the 20 or more miles is crossed by fine
steamers that sail from the ports OF
Santa Monica, Redondo and San Pedro,
and the tourist and pleasure seeker
is provided with ell the material
comforts and luxuries that find place
in the famous sound steamers of the
east. Once out from the headlands that
guard San Pedro, we are in what is
known as the Santa Barbara channel.
Away to the northeast, unseen, but felt
by the calmness of the sea, are the
Santa Barbara islands to the south and
dead ahead, the grim heights of the
Santa Catalina; and beyond, low, lying
lying in the haze, San Clemente, the
barren. How blue the water is, seem
ingly q reflection OF the sky; and in its
depths DRIFT living gems. Jelly fish in
wondrous shape, moving by gentle pull
sation. Flying tish clear the air in
every direction, in seeming flight, and a
variety of sea fowl follow in the wake. 1t
would puzzle the mariner, were be not
familiar with the coast, to find the har-
Dor, but suddenly, as We near tins
island, deep cafion ia seen to reach
down to the Eea, ending in white
beach then another, and the little half
moonshaped bay comes in sight with its
scores of picturesque cottages and homes,
it's white tenta and hotels.
The town of Avalon is built in ths
mouth of the csfion, and life here dur
ing the summer months is one continual
round OF gayety and pleasure. 1t is the
land OF sweet ldleness, where one can
drift around, with all nature to enter

beautiful hue, fishes that fly, marvellous
living gems that float in the depths,
flashing like diamonds by day, and at
night changing the sea to q scene OF
weiid splendors.
The island is reached by line OF
ste ,mers running regularly each day
from San Pedro to Avalon.
The mountainous parts of the island
abound in wild goats, the hunting OF
which 10 fsvorite pastime.
During the warm nights of August
the water seemed to fairly change into
gold; the bay is filed with Gying hsh.
