went out TO pay a visit 10 the leper
colony OF this section, located at the coun-
~ hospital high fence separates these
unfortunates from not only the inmates
of the hospital, but all the world. There
are three-one German, another a
Spaniard and the third Chnaman. They
were all inmates of a small hut, divided
into three rooms and only one person Is
allowed 10 come inside the stockade. They
looked INST pitiful and the memory of
my visit haunts me even yet. The China
man came from Kansas City, where he
formerly ran a laundry. 1t was patron
lied by many of the best families of that
place. After a time it was noticed by
physicians that the children of these pat
rons were breaking out with a rash or
eruption and this was traced as coming
through the laundry sent TO the China
man. He was given twenty-four hours to
leave and. after being "railroaded." as
they technically term 1t. by one after
another OF the county poorhouse boards
from point TO point, he finished in Los An
geles and was added TO the leper colony.
We have had two refreshing show
ers and the foliage and flowers
are bursting into luxuriant beau
" and greenness. The season
promises TO afford tourists more
three years. due to the advancement OF
the foliage and trees. 1t may interest
the Post-Intelligencer readers TO know
that TO date there are more tourists I'm
the state than at any corresponding time
In seven years. met Mr.. George
Schoenwald. the man who made beautiful
Del Monte. at Monterey. famous. and
who is now the general manager of the
Castle Craggs and Del Monte hotels. and
he was more than 'enthused" over pros
poets for big season. The early cold
weather East has had a wonderful effect
on plans OF fasteners.
Ever watched a crowd at a railway
eating station? Great sport: only be
careful. There's always more than one
shirt in laundry. and you may be done
up also. No matter how many times the
papers instruct by their pretty little
stories Of the way the man with the tim
othv seed in his tresses acts there's a
new one born every minute The Old old

This takes me astray somewhat. but
I'll get back 20 my subject % the man
at the eating station" Some real nice
fellow got out handsome booklet for
Mr.. Goodman. OF the Southern Pacific
railway. and IL gave the traveller plenty
% advice about travelling. One paragraph
said something about setting down the
name OF the car 50 that IL you get on

several sleeping cars. and he has his
name on them when this traveller got
or he set down on a card the name OF

he came out he rushed over 20 where
mis- car was and readily identified & bv
It's name When he came out % his
trance an hour later he was en- route
back 10 san Francisco instead OF Los
Angeles.
