Chief among the items of interest was
the latest gossip in regard to the tariff

You find things very different here
for the workingman from what they are
in England, then?' / asked.
You can judge for yourself" he re-
piled. II went to work when / was 8
years old for 90 cents day. That's
what children have to do under free

the snake which tempted Eve, and, of
course was genuine. This album, as
soon learned to my sorrow, contained
the only authentic photograph Of Noah
in existence. The Judge eyed Noah
and then he eyed me again. The sus.
pense was painful. He pocketed the
ALBUMIN, took another hitch in his chair
toward me, and thought he was going
to spit in my face, but he didn't. He
reached out, felt carefully over my head
for three minutes, drew a long breath,
and then solemnly declaIed that 1 was
humbug, that bore not the slightest
resemblance to my venerable ancestor
Noah, and, worst of all, he settled down
on it, that none but born fool, or
hopelessly insane man would venture,

lacked two days of month, was most

the hideous experience of that time will
remain burned in my brain forever.
Located as the asylum is, in one of
the Eden spots of the Pacific slope, it
forcibly reminded me of the close pro.

pictures of paradise and perdition,
which, when was small boy, used to
make me shiver, vince and shut my
eyes for fear I would see the saints
smiling over the battlements of heaven

One more thought. 1t was there, in

seemed to taunt me.
