Behind the grim walls of the state
penitentiary, among the scores for
whom those walls mark the beginning
and the end OF all things, there was one
happy man last night. That man was
Harry Hayes, the man who. for years,
has been known as the Pelican Point
murderer. For just at dusk last night
the message came singing over the
wires that the board of pardons had
listened kindly to his petition for par
don and that it had acted favorablv
upon his case.
That message meant to him that he
was free; free to go forth from the tiny
cell which has been his abiding place
for more than two years, free to return
TO his home, to his friends, TO the low
ing wife Who all through these wears
has never for a moment waVered in her
faith in his innocence of the terrible
crime with which he was charged.
More than that, that message meant to
him that now at last he might once
more stand before the world without
shame, an innocent man, from whom
every shadow of q stigma OF of a stain
was wiped away. II meant that he was
purged of the stain of murder, the cold
blooded murder of three innocent boys,

1t is known that bad blood existed

and came to Lander. While here he
seemed to be demented and heard on
several occasions to say that he in
tended to clean out the Sweetwater
country and then leaye the country.
On last Thursday morning he left
town, going in the direction of the
Sweetwater, having a Winchester
strapped to his saddle. Salmon was
notified that he was coming that way
and to be on the lookout for him. Haas

Salmon was able to loosen his gun from
the saddle. By the time Salmon got his

The best plan for the male portion OF

If your wife asks you to take up a

but, if she persists, raise one tack care
fully with the tack drawer, grasp the
carpet firmly in both hands and then
start around the room with it.
The above plan has been tried by sew

but they all eventually strike the floor.
You will be able to find tacks in that

AVENUE OF PEPPER TREES IN LOS ANGELES.
ilization and customs of this whole sec
tion were such as characterize the peo-
pie who dwell under the shadow of the
cross of Mexico. They were happy,
easy going, light hearted people, who
had no sympathy with the push and
vigor and progress of nineteenth CEN
tury civilization. Even to this day a
large portion of the native population
regard the new order of things as ca
lamity and look back with longing to
the simplicity and Incidence of the old
days.
The remnant of the old civilization
in the midst of the modern life which
has enveloped it has made Los Angeles
a picturesque composite of the Spanish
and American that is delight to the
eye of the artist. Close to the busiest
part of the town stands an old church,
built when the city was sheep pas
ture. Within its walls the present seems
to fade from the thoughts of the visitor,
and he sees in the old priest who gives
his benedictions with as much unction
as did his long line of predecessors, the
image of the brave old soldiers Of the
cross who nearly three centuries ago
left home and friends to plant their
standard in the new world.
The old Spaniards, when they plan
ned town, first fixed the site of the
church and then plotted a plaza. The
latter was made the center, around
which the houses were built The
streets were then laid out, radiating
from this center, often following the
primitive paths made by the cattle and
sheep. Los Angeles was begun this
way, and it is hard to find two streets
which run parallel.
The old adobe houses of the natives
are gradually giving way to brick and
stone They are. however. more suited
to the climate than many of the mod
ern structures, their thick walls and
projecting porches protecting the occu-
pants from the hot rays of the MONDAY
sun and shielding them from the damp
ness of the night.
There are many beautiful residences
here, but the thing which most attracts
the admiration of the visitor is the
fora of the parks, gardens and fields.
There is great variety of trees, among
them the palm, orange, lemon, banana
and others indigenous TO the south, to-
gether with the pepper tree, the eucalyp-
tus, live oak, maple, sycamore and
others of northern nativity. The parks
and private grounds contain an endless
variety of roses and other flowers,
which here grow in reckless luxuriance.
Perhaps in no other city can there be
seen such a wealth of floral gems as are
found in Los Angeles. At this season
of the year southern California wears
her most charming garb and smiling
nature will vie with the people in well
coming the teachers.
