DANCE OF 4 DEER.
Unusual ana beautiful Slight Wit
messed by a Hunter who Was
Charmed by 1t.

The first time l saw him was in the
company Of his mother and a sister,
whom he much resembled, says Hugh
M. Warrand, in "Blackwood's Maya
zine" He was playing and nibbling
along the soft edge Of a little tarn.
What a dainty, nimble, u-ncOncerned
looking little person he was! 1 sat
hidden on a hilIock about 200 yards dis
tant watching the trio. His mother
was a very large old doe, whom I had
known by sight for several seasons;
but this was the only n in which she
had been successful in rearing both
her infants to such an age of semi
independence.
1t might have been a week later ere
I saw the old mother doe out again
with her family, when again 1 found
her feeding by the little tarn in the
hollow. She appeared totally unaware
of my presence, and what she was
about I could not imagine, for she
strolled backward and forward, as a
man might who was making up his
mind about something,
Suddenly she sprang forward a yard
or two into a round open space in the
heather, hitherto unnoticed by me, and
began running round and round. AS
if from out Of the very earth, and al
most at the same moment, into the
circle jumped Master Buck and his
sister, and before had time to guess
at what was going to happen Hound

tainly the most novel and graceful
circus I had ever seen, or may ever
hope to see again.
Round went the old doe, faster and
faster, her children after her; then
she faced about, chasing the latter this
time; again, she turned and was fol-
lowed; and so the game went on.
Presently all three were out of the
ring, led by the doe, and bounding
away through the heather, over the
ridge and out of sight. Thought that

quires time to do it properly. The
scenery is delightful, and Redlands,
in winter, POSSESSES a strong element
of the mysterious. One drives through
almost tropical luxuriance of tree and
flower and wonders what is
transporting off in the strange, shine
ing, snow-covered distance. White
San Jacinto has been giving out
many hints of a s~ubterranean
disturbance which its placid surface
seems to contradict
One is always glad to get back to
cosmopolitan Los Angeles, which is
Gust like any other town." except
that there is neve any real winter.
And this is just what is misleading.
Many people think they can come and
transgress all the rules in regard to
contracting colds that they have care
fully observed elsewhere. The fact is,
a California cold is a serious matter.
1t is easy to acquire and hard to break.
This accounts for the many fatal cases
of pneumonia among eastern visitors.
Another practical consideration. Too
many people are stranded here. No
person should come to California With
out calculating the cost, and, as some
say, ''be sure and bring a return ticket.'
There + always a few more places
one wishes to visit. Those who come
to stay may find plenty of work for
the muscles. Carpenters and painters
receive $3.50 per day. Manual labor is
at a premium. But to the man who de-
sires a clerkship or "some easy way
of making a living" the country offers
few inducements. Los Angeles is
crowded with men who want to make
money while keeping their hands white.
Many find mere existing here a pleas
ure. The parks are beautiful. Winter
is the season for flowers. Since the
winter rains began, everything has
started afresh and the whole country
seems to be dressed in the advanced
styles of spring. The poinsettias with
their flaming red christmas flowers
hold chief sway at present and share
with the old missions chief honors as
subjects for painting and decoration as
shown among the souvenir wares in the
stores. While people who visit this
city are wildly conscious of its beau-
ties, few realize that it is fast becom-
ing a great manufacturing center,
petroleum furnishing the fuel which
in earlier years was lacking. So there
is a great deal besides climate in Los
Angeles.
But a person should never come here
to live without first making a trial,
counting what he must reEnquish and
returning east for awhile to learn il
the charm Of the land of sunshine lie
sufficiently strong to hold him.

how they are to fare before trusting
themselves so far from home in the
winter. OF course, people of wealth
have little trouble on that score.
But this letter is designed to inter-
est people who do not find it necessary
to depIete their pocket books by in
dulging in gilt-edged food. Living at
restaurants is very cheap, while raw
material for cooking is expensive

The better class of buildings have been

family hotels, the prices for perma-
nent dodgers has not greatly increased,
while a room that costs a regular oc-
cupant but $16 or SIS per month, if
by chance vacated now, may be readily
rented for a dollar, or more per day.
OF course, there are rooms that may
be had for less, but they are, as a rule,
undesirable, while a person may find
plenty as much better as he chooses
to pay for.
So many conflicting stories are told
regarding the country that it is hard
for one who has never visited the
Pacific coast to reconcile them, but
facts remain, however, to prove that
they are, as a rule, true. Yet the
tendency is to overdraw things and to
make them appear fuzzy as good as
they are. To-day, one walks north on
