FOR SALE
BROADWAY,
$1,000 PER
FRONT FOOT:
SNAP FOR SOMEBODY.
When it was announced few days ago
that 6S feet on Broadway between third
and Fourth, occupied by the First NJ +.
church building, was for sale at $6s,0oo'
everybody said 1t will be snapped up
before night. That it was not Is only
another illustration Of the fact that,
however great the bargain may be- few
people, at least in Los Angeles, arc pre-
pared to invest on short notice any con-
siderable sum of money. Most OF them
need time to make other turns and so
get themselves ready for any large deal.
1t is so in this case. Several people are
figuring" yet up to this writing no trade
has actually been closed and the property
is still in the market.
That it is very cheap at the price
$1,000 per front foot-everybody comedies.
That it will bring, before the year is out
at least $500 foot and very likely more,
is denied by none. But the order to sell
at once is peremptory and will be carried
out. The property Is as choice as any on
the street, barring only the corners on
each side of it, and the street-everybody
knows what that is. For two years II
has been perfectly evident that it was to
lead them all, and today it does lead
Business is moving to 1t just as rapidly
as 1t can possibly be accommodated, ano
the improvements are the finest in the
city. 1t is the one street of which every
body is proud and the future of which
no one questions. This 6S feet is in the
very heart of the best part of it. The
man who buys 1t will double his money
if he only holds it long enough. 1t is for
sale by

This Queer Old World.

1t is queer how things go by contraries here,
IT'S always too cold or too hot,
And the prizes we miss, you know, always
appear.
To he better than those that we've got
1t is always too wet, or too dusty and dry,
And the land Is too rough or too fiat,
There's nothing that's perfect beneath the blue
sky,
It's pretty good world for all that.
Some people are born but To dig III the soil
And sweat for the brea,. nat they eat
toll,
And live on the things that are sweet;
A few are too rich and lot are too poor,
And some are too lean or too fat
All. the hardships are many that men must
endure
It's pretty good world for all that.
The man who must think enyies them that must
be
Ever pounding and digging for men,
And the man with the pick would be happy
If he
Might play with the brush the pen
All things go by contraries here upon earth,
Life is empty and sterile and flat;
Man begins to complain on the day of his birth,
But
It's pretty good world for all that

IN THE SiERRAS.

So far away the city lies.
Deep in the fog hung vale below.
cannot hear it's murmurs rise
To fret these mountains crowned with
snow.
My soul Is tired of storm and stress.
The tumut of the peopled ways:
The crowded streets are emptiness
That mock the passing of the days.
But here there is no sound TO mar
The silence. and one s,r.ost hears.
Threading the solitudcs afar
The faint, soft footballs of the years.
seek the wood paths and the streams.
Following the devious ways thereof.
To dream the half forgotten dreams.
To live the memories of love.
Twas here we heard the lnnet tril
At summer morns beneath the caves:
Against the blue above yon hill
The fir tree traced its fernlike leaves.
Twas there on radiant afternoons
A golden haze lay on the slope.
When all the world was loves and
June's
And heart throbs beat the hours of
hope.
Between me and that long ago
The years gray levels intervene.
Like the dim valley stretched below
From attitudes of love unseen.
And soft as summer mists that fall
On distant slopes and woods and
streams
Lies on the days beyond recall
The golden glamour or our dreams
