We left Chicago in a binding snow

down from the mountains Friday

To u great pleasure, the first

dered away, muttering something
about going home to Maine if he
could only find out which way to
start.
Another experience we had was
the earthquake. 1t did a little dam
age in Los Angeles, shook off some
stone cornice from some of the bust
ness blocks and broke some plate
glass. 1t stopped all the clocks. in
the city, and caused some people to
pray who were not in the habit of
getting up at 4 o'clock in the morn
Ing to offer up their applications.
We were quartered in a strong
brick building and got but a little

The amount of travel in California
this year is unprecedented. 1t is es-
timated that 30, 900 tourists have Wis
tied Los Angeles and left there

It was pleasing to us to see so
many shade trees in the New Los
Angeles, the best and greater
part Of the city having been built in
the last fifteen years. There are
niles upon miles OF the beautiful
Pepper tree, which, next to Live Oak,
is the most beautiful shade tree in
California. 1t is also like theLive Oak
IN that it never sheds its leaves. Los
Angeles is decidedly a city for women,
there being no manufacturing. Few
men can obtain employment. The
men folks go to the mines and other
places to obtain work, and the women
put up signs, Rooms to rent, : and
from $25 to $40 per month for a sin

In fact, with the exception of the
ire and police board, the women run
the town, and u it successfully.
Los Angeles has one of the best
street car systems of any city in the
United States, and one of the sys-

A Great Screamer.

More than fifty years ago Lachlan
Mcdonald left his home in Strathspey,
Scotland, and went to the shores Of
Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect
to carry with him his beloved bagpipe,
and many an evening it spoke to him
of the old home beyond the seas.
Even in the daytime, when he was
busy in the woods telling trees, he
would have it by his side, and on one
occasion he had reason to be glad that
it was so near.
He was merrily swinging his axe,
when he was suddenly surrounded by
a party of Indians, who looked very
formidable as they drew nearer, ges-
ticulating in Il particularly threatening
manner. Things began to seem omin-
Gus, when a happy thought came to
the Scotchman.
Selling his bagpipe, he blew a blast
so loud and long and shrill that the
startled red men looked upon him for
a moment in CONSERVATION, and then
took to their heels, never stopping till
the thick shadows of the forest hid
them from the man who could give
vent to such an unearthly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged
cry; from that time the ScOtchman was
known among them as the great
screamer Of the pale faces
