teachers, together with many country
teachers and other friends, numbering
in all about $50, started from the Arcade
depot in Los Angeles on a special train
bound for Santa Monica. No merrier
party ever enjoyed the ride through the
beautiful country between this city and

soldiers home for 20 minutes, and a host
OF old soldiers greeted the echoolma'ams.

met by members OF the chamber OF
commerce and representative citizens.

OF Port Los Angeles. After inspecting
the wharf. the party gathered at the
large platform to listen to the address
OF welcome, delivered by Judge Owens.

were as they were, where they were and
when they were. They rejoiced, not

any escape from threatened disease, but
for real present pleasures. During the
morning he had been working as a
committee of one on very philanthrop-
ic scheme. In place of the present home
for old teachers, he wanted to establish
Joint home for old school ma ANS and
old soldiers. He had proposed the plan

prolonged and heartfelt cheere. He

to present her an elegant bouquet.
