at Riverside, and some to blame per-
haps, assd if TO bring out the beauties of
the picture in better light, a dark shade
or two is now and then thrown on the
canvas, it must not be deemed hypocrit-
ical, but for the purpose of holding tf1a
mirror up to nature anl of speaking of
every thing as it is-"nothing eXtenuate
or set aught down iv. malice" Let
those afflicted with Riverside mania re-
member that there are spots even on the
sun and take comfort If there is any
thing said that conflicts with their
idea of the fitness of things.
RIvERSIDE'S REFORMATION
In speaking of the Riverside of to-
day there is no need to go into anciec,t
history and recount how ii was.buit up
from cheerless waste, where there
was not even the hum of an. insect to
welcome the first pioneers, nor how it
was intended as a mulberry patch with
crawling worms weaving silk orr every
tree, uaatil the tn of the only man who
could carry on the business, and the
mulberry trees gave place to the
orange and the crawling worms to the
less active scale that are the bane of
the fruit grower and, whose presence

The Riverside of today is lively,
bustliug, busy mart that spends the
summer in a quiet doze, Knowing that
little, rest is necessary, and that the
winter will make amends in calling into
active use all the powers of mind and
body to keep up with the procession in
BUSINESS circles. Yet the summers are

is true the tempera ture rises occasions
ally above the century mark, but the air
is SO pure, the breeze that sweeps up
from the ocean during the greater por-
tion of the day is so cool and invigorat-
ing that as a summer resort Riverside
is far ahead of Chicago, the city by the
lake, or of airy eastern city in the land,
Although the days may seem too warm,
the cool nights make ample amends for
them and the sleeper rises refreshed
with his rest ard sounGa sleep.
PRICELESS CLIMATE
But 1t is in the wMaer that Riverside
shines in respondent glory. Then days
and nights are alike cool but comfort
able, invigorating and health-giving.
During the cnitidle of the day it Is some
times well to keep on the shady side
of the street, but to the invalid the
warmest winter sur that shir,es in Riv-
erside is just the medicine that does him
the most good and for which he prob
ably came thousands of miles to enjoy
It>is this feature that makes Riverside
sought alike by the tourist for pleasure
and the invalid for health. 1t is just
what each enjoys most ard for the pos
session of which each is willing to pay.
1t is an old worn out saying that River
side sells it's climate, but ii is also a
true saying, for it is the climate thai
brings the people here arni for which
they are willing to pay the highest mar
ket price. 1t is worth more than all else.
in the world to the invalid an0, he Is
willing to pay for the treasure as for no
other article in the world, for to him it
is life and happiness.
1t is also said that other places are
willing to throw in the climate and make
no charge for it, but that is always the
way With merchant, he is compelled,
to throw in what t,to one warts so as to
gs', ,rid of it, and some of the climate on
tbs globe is of so dsagreeable a kind
Chat no sane person woul6a even take it
/Ias a gift unless compelled to by neces-
sity
ITS HOSPITALITY
To the invalid and pleasure seeker who
comes to Riverside there is always
llatch7string out, and if the hotels arr
sfEil, IS they fill UP rapidly with the early
afall morths, there are hundred doors
K open to receive the visitor, where he can
receive all the comforts anG, accommo-
4 cations he needs after his long journey
! in search of them For The season thsl
best of private residences are at the
pleasure Of the visitor ere he will be sen
empty away for lack of accommoda-
tions at the well-appointed hotels, Of
which Riverside has many good ones,
both public and private.
There has been ore great need in the
line of hotels arii this Is bout to be re
allied. The Glenwood Cottage has ac-
quired fame for Ms excellent care of
the visitor, Won through sixteen years
of catering for the public under it's pres
eEt proprietor, Frank A. Miller. But it h as
outgrown itS usefulness, and although
