HAVING FUN WITH OUR
FRIEND FROM WORCESTER
Suggestions to Mr.. orcutt Which Nay
Put Him in Happier Frame
of Mind n


LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 2s.-tEi-
tor Herald]-I read in yesterdays B.
sue of the Herald letter from the rJn
of Mr.. Orcutt, who has recently arrivd
from the famous Sauce town of te
frozen east, and who seems to be affect
with very severe case of bile, whic
he is incapable of keeping under COM
troll.
If, as he alleges, the dealers in real
estate here indulge in ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain. they
must have absorbed them on their way
out and are putting them into practice.
though no more of that kind can be,
found here than in any other city.
AS far as living in tents is concerned,
that is a luxury that can only be en-
joyed in this part of Gods earth the
entire year without having to wear
arctics, ear muffs, ulsters and seal
skin caps. A tent is coniidered an
ideal home, not only by thosein moder-
ate circumstances, but by tie wealthy
as well, and If our eastern faend from
the Sauce VIII tdhClnC lIOu-
BILE to go to the large sanitarilm in the
hills near Monrovia and see the doz-
ems of tent houses, some of which are
occupied by the wealthiest patents in
preference to the solid comfort CD Of
the main building, and where lir and
sky is unsurpassed, and whee he,
even he, might rid himself of theenor-
NOUS superfuity of bile with which he
is burdened.
Now, If our Sauce Town visito will
only hang on here long enough 7 see
Broadway lit up he can write Il his
"Saucy" friends in the arctic reaons
that the City of the Angels has aided
few more glimmers to the much
needed lights of this awful "graft-tk-
ing'' community.
Mr.. Orcutt evidently failed to rech
our beautiful city in time to enpy
the midwinter floral parade in be
Grown of the Valley" or has MOTHS
yet thawed out to an extent sufficiet
for his proboscis to absorb the scent e
the roses and thousands of other vari<
ty of flowers that cling to us still, AM
that were shown in such profusion tina
even our eastern cousins who had thI
pleasure of being here at that time
were compelled to admit that we can
raise few flowers, and "favored" at
that.
Perhaps water and Mr.. Orcutt are
strangers that it affected him so, or he
INDUCED in it too freely before start
ing for Mt. Lowe, or perhaps the vast
ness of our surroundings, or the graii-
deur of our mountains and the deep
blue of our sky were so confusing as
to cause him to see double when he
panked down his fare for the "Crowr
of the Valley
Mr.. Orcutt made serious and mos
grievous mistake when he admitted
that we had a few, a very few fine
buildings here, as it ruined he SYM
metry of his letter and may modify
the influence his communicable is in
tended to convey to his frozal cline
where your tongue cleaves to tie door
knob, the key hole is frozen slut, Mr..
Mercury dare not show his nos above
the zero mark without being hooked
overheard and where the wintryiakes
pile high as the roof.
If Mr.. Orcutt will absorb more Il our
water and make friends with ourtieas
the combined forces of those two
powerful absorbents may at leas re-
lieve him partially of his bile ofcutt
it out altogether. and when he re$hes
that condition he may give us at sast
square DEAL"
