other according to the artistic taste or sentiment of the owners. Within. the homes are supplied with more of the com forts of real home life than may be found in most communities, while the necessities of living within doors are fewer than most places. Throughout the year most of ones time may be and Is largely spent out of doors
 The most conspicuous example of the possibilities of landscape gardening is found in Canyon Crest Park. the home grounds of Messrs. Albert K. and Alfred H. Smiley, twin brothers, who have made this city their home for the greater part of the year. This beautiful park of nearly two hundred acres was begun in 1890 and shows how rapidly grounds in Redlands may be beautified. The Eastern homes of the Messrs. Smiley are at Lakes Mohawk and Minnewaska, two famous resorts noted for their attractive locations and the care with which they are kept. Can- yon Crest Park became famous under the cognomen of Smiley Heights, because of the name of the owners and the peculiar topography of the land selected for this park But these gentlemen are modest and the name of Smiley Heights Is dis tasteful to them. They wish the place to be known by it's name, Canyon Crest Park

most happened. The brakeman came in and said that I had to change my horse into another car. had been afraid of this all along, and had sort of prepared for it. That morning l had taken off all the bandages and boots and rubbed the old plugs legs we'll with liniment. l bandaged him up again and every little while would waltz him around the car to Timber him up, but he made some awful stumbles. I hunted up the agent and made an awful kick, but 1t was no use, change cars I must Here it was broad day
 light, and if any one ever got good look at the old skate it was all off with me. I then began to register big kick about the way the engineer had pulled the train that morning. l told the agent that 1t was nothing but one jerk after another, and the horse was lame from the tumbles he had got by the engineer jerking the train. I threat ened to have him arrested for cruelty to animals.
 "rhe agent tried to smooth the matter over but the more he smoothed the madder I got. Such valuable horse as mine was not to be knocked about that way. I was afraid that my horse had been ruined. The agent agreed to run the new car alongside of mine and lay a gangway between the two cars. That helped me out, for the stumbles that the old horse made I laid to his caution in walking the plank. I kept the agent at safe distance by telling him the horse was treacherously vic ious, and as evidence showed him the barb wire tear in my trousers. I said that in an unguarded moment the horse had grabbed me and l only got away by tearing loose.
 "I had just got all my traps moved into the new car and was congratulat ing myself on my good luck when along came the conductor and asked me if had a ticket. That was stun ner. It happened the Santa Fe had just two days before put in force an order that all persons accompanying livestock should have a second d-class ticket I told the conductor that knew nothing about their new rules, and as to the horse all that 1 knew was that he was thoroughbred that was to get so much if landed him unhurt in Los Angeles; that didn't want to

go to California. and that the buyer of the horse was to pay my fare pack to Louisville when l delivered the horse. Rather than pay for ticket from Kansas City I would leave the racer on the train and go back to Chi cago. That was poser for the s,na con ductor, for all livestock shipped through had to be accompanied by caretaker. I carried out my blun by moving all my traps out on the depot platform. The conductor and the agent held a consultation and con- cluded to give me second-class tlcket and charge 1t up on the wayDill so that the owner couldn't get the horse until he had paid freight on the horse and my fare as we'll.
 "It was easy travelling after that e1- cept for food. I was out of money and couldn't beg anything in that wretched country. It's the nearest ever came to starving to death. used to fight that cayuse for his hay And what do you think saved my life! Tramps! Plain, played-out tramps- fellows working their ways along the line I hit on the scheme watching them trying to steal rides. I found some of them had loose quarters and half-dollars You bet it was not long before I had smuggled dozen of them into my box car and under the hay at % cents for every station we passed. Talk about railroad monopoly, it was nothing to the cinch I had. And with the money raised 1 just gorged. I lived like lord of provinces on this traffic of tramps, and had just $S 50 to spare when the engine whistle footed and we pulled into Los Angeles.
 After we had pulled into the freight yard the trainmen asked me If I want ed to unload the horse that night. staved them off by telling them that guessed I would wait until morning and look up the owner first. I spent a good part of that night figuring out what to do. I didn't know just how stood as to the law. Perhaps they could pull me in for defrauding the railroad. I didn't know. I tried to convince myself that as the railroad company had taken the horse at 5000 valuation without examination it was not my fault if he was not worth it. but that ticket business bothered me. l

whisky for myself. The old plug danced around like a 2-year-old.
 We got him into the car and the boys kept me company until the train start ed. I was glad when we pulled out of the depot, but my troubles were just beginning. I wasn't a bit sleepy, and spent the next hour or two mentally calculating where l was at and where I would get off. After paying few bills and buying some horse medicine and little traps for myself l had just $7 in cash. 1 had about three days feed for the horse ana about two aays grub for myself, and twelve or four teen days journey ahead of me. Could pull through on 50 cents day? That's all that bothered me then.
 Tt was frightfully cold that night, and the old horse threatened to fall down at every jolt of the car. This worried me. for didn't believe that the old fellow could ever get up again. The agent assured me that the car would go right through, but you can never tell what a railroad will do. I consoled myself with the thought that we would get part way to California anyhow, and rolling myself in my blankets finally went to sleep
 T got out of grub long before we got to Chicago, but I could always get enough for myself What bothered me was to get cheap food for my racer.
 
 T didn't get a chance to buy horse feed until the very last spear of hay was gone We were about two hundred miles out of Chicago. It was just after sunset when we pulled up about mile outside of some little depot. Right op- posite my car door was haystack. I had that door open quick and away I went over the barb wire fence. I made the hay fly out of the side of that stack, I tell you. I pulled out a good armful and started back to the car. I got that one in all right, and as I didn't know when the engine would again be ac- commodating started Tor second one. I was just gathering it up when I heard the train starting. In my haste to get over the fence fell. The barbs ripped slit in my trousers a foot long. I skinned my elbow on a rock-but the hay-I never lost a spear. I threw the hay into the car and scrambled in after it.
 "At Kansas City just what feared

didn't know but what they could hold me for that. I concluded my safest plan was to make myself scarce.
 T was up before daylight and had my blankets, boots, brides and all up town by sunrise. I sold the whole out fit for s10 and took the first train back East as far as a dollar would carry me. I figured that they would be more like ly to look for me in every direction but the one I had come from.
 q sprung myself dollar for ticket to some point back on the line.
 1T didn't know where I was going to, for l didn't know one town from an- other those days. I got off at my depot and I tell you it looked a heaven of a. place with the pretty flowers all in bloom. l wandered into some beautiful grounds where the best-looking oranges were growing I ever saw. l naturally began to pick and eat them. All of sudden tall, m-built-looking old fel- low came slowly down the drive.
 'Hulloai said he, you seem to be pretty much at home
 ''I told him I couldn't be in better place for home, and then on the spur of the moment I told him my story. Well, couldn't have told it to bet ter man. It was Lucky Baldwin. He was so tickled over the yarn that he took me up to his house, ordered them lO SlNc IIle SOOQ lSSu, tHu tutl Ic gave me $25 to help me on my way.
 '.'I thought it best to go to Phoenix. While there I got hold of a San Fran cisco paper that contained the whole story of m-- trip, and how the railroad company was out just $87 50 cash by it. They had been caught with the horse on their hands. He was only fit for the boneyard, but they couldn't tote him off there because the law com pelled them to properly advertise all property left uncalled for with them. They had to put him in livery stable and feed him till the time called for by law expired and what with the stable bill, advertisements and charges they were out $S8 50. They sold him at auction all properly enough accord ing to law, and that pop-eyed old cayuse brought exactly one dollar, ac- cording to the official report.
 "He was great animal in one re- spect, and I've got a great regard for him; he got to California alive and didn't dump me. and he stood on his pegs and looked the racer he never was just long enough to fool the railroad company and so help me to reach the Golden West"

Santa Ana wash on the northwest, at the head of San Bernardino Valley. The sharp ridge, falling abruptly into the canyon, furnished the material for the name. The natural contour of the land left little to be desired by the landscape artist for a foundation upon which to erect his park, and in doing so every detail has been care fully considered. The northern slopes are scanned and broken so as to give portions of it with inclination facing nearly every point of the compass, some of which are abrupt and precipitous, while others slope gently and fall away in undulations easy to traverse. The park is now covered with vegetation even to large trees, so rapid has been the growth of some of the spe- cies of eucalypti, and one would think 1t eight decades instead of but eight years since work was inaugurated upon the park

Charities and several minor charitable or ganizations. There are also secret fra ternal orders to the number of nineteen, several of which are very strong and flourishing. Among emostimportant are the Knights of Pythias, Masons, Odd Eel lows, Foresters and Junior Mechanics. There is also G. A. R. post, a w. R. C.. a parlor of Native Sons and several simi- lar organizations
 Redlands is well supplied with literary and musical societies. Among the former are the Fortnightly and Contemporary Clubs and several reading and magazine clubs. Among musical societies the Spinet stands at the head, with several less pretentious. There is an excellent uniformed brass band, a large orchestra, a mandolin and guitar club and several smaller clubs. The National Guard is rep resented by Company G, one of the lead ing companies of the Seventh Regiment. In the high school there is a company of cadets. The fire department consists of hose and hook and ladder companies, the city being we'll supplied with water with a gravity pressure which may be put to ninety pounds.
 The principal business streets are paved with brick, and the sidewalks are hard cement. A sewer system inaugurated a few years ago is being rapidly extended. The streets, business houses ana most of the residences are lighted by elec- tricity, furnished by the Redlands Electric Light and Power Company. There is no gas used. There Is also a large company, the Southern California Power Company now developing large power plant in the canyon near the city, for the pur- pose of furnishing electric power for manufacturing and traction purposes, in Los Angeles, seventy miles from the source of the power. For places of amusement there is an Academy of Mu-

Tn this rig and clean shave I went to the railroad office and told the agent I wanted to ship a s5000 race horse through to California, c. o. D. And give me 5000 insurance on him, too 1 asked, because he's a world beater.' It was pressing 'em hard, but the agent looked at my stunning fur-lined overcoat, sized me up for a winner and said all right.
 You see at that time the rules of the company directed that any race horse sent over the road should be in charge of keeper. l was figuring on going as the horses keeper. See the point?
 My next trick was the capture of a horse. When I returned the overcoat and told my friend of my play and luck he was so tickled over the whole thing that he loaned me s1O. I sold some horse trapplngs and raised the stake to $15. With that sum I had to outfit for the trip, get some sort of a record breaking horse and rig him out to make a s5000 showing of himself all the way to California. You bet it was a job!
 "I hunted all the cheap joints for one to suit me, and found him. He had a head and neck on him like racer. but don't go any further, for. he was the diZZiest old cayuse you ever looked at Honestly, the crows would be ashamed to light on him. I paid $3 50 for him. and that was dear; but I must have him.
 T went at him with a pair of clip perS anr soon had a thoroughbred-a skeleton of one anyhow
 1.-The boys got wind of what was go- ing on and all came around. They got so interested in the scheme that they all clipped in to buy feed. The whole gang escorted me to the depot that night. I needed them to boost the old boneyard along. Just before we got to the depot we took him down an alley and doctored' him to make him good and frisky. Well that we did, for the freight agent was there himself to look after me. He never recognized me in my old clothes, dirty face and hands and tumbled hair. I talked my best brogue and the disguise was com plete. The boys had sent down a bale of hay and a bag of oats. They handed up a package of grub and bottle of
