For the Reflector.
The day before we left Los Angeles
for the north we were guests Of Mr.,
and Mrs. G. E. Patterson (nee Mary
Bell. daughter Of James Bell, and a
native Of Abilene,) We, in company
with another supervisor. A, J. Ora
ham and wife, journeyed to the coun-
ty farm. Mr.. Patterson wished as to
see how well his county cared for her
indigents. They do not call the in
mates Of this great home anything
but patients. The buildings are set
in . beautiful valley surrounded BY
orange groves, now full Of bloom.
All about the place are lemon
orchards, barley fields and gardens.
Long lines q cypress hedges iend the
curious world away, rows pi tall
eucalyptus, the tallest we had ever
seen. border the long drive ways, the
roots by the great irrigating bitches
and the tops higher than you would
believe unless you saw them. The
dairy, the irrigating plant, the pigs
and chickens were all inspected. The
wise control in the separate buildings
for both sexes, the contented looks Of
the inmates impressed us. We we're
shown gum arabic tree, many cam-
phor wood trees, geraniums which
reached the second story windows, a
tulip tree in bloom % species Of mag
nolia from Australia). the flower Is
lavender in color and lovely object.
Old age and poverty would have few
terrors could all unfortunates be sure
Of such peaceful home. The super
Intsndent and wife, Mrs. CLARK, told
as many interesting facts regarding
he inmates. One is an Oxford ,grad-
nate who tutored the superintendent's
ION in Latin and Greek, a poetess'
Mrs. Anna See, presented Us with
FOUND volume Of California poetry
written by herself. There are no
,hildren here, they are al kept in the
,arious orphan honies'in the county.
