about 1t now. 1t may be because he
has at last found the place which
seems to him the best of all places for
a residence, or 1t may be because he
has now another helpmeet to share his
domestic joys and sorrows. Whatever
the reason is. he has decided to quit
the wandering game and locate for life.

rama of flowers, fruits and eucalyptus
trees that greets the eye Of the trav-
eler over this route. All Of the cities
we passed showed signs of prosperity
and progress. Finally we saw the
great and glorious ocean. 1t is truly
grand. Later the train stopped at
Surf, Cal. Here we left the train and
went to the brow Of the bluff, and saw
the waves beating against the shore
not twenty feet below us. We then fol-
lowed the ocean until darkness shut
it off from our view.- Los Angeles was
reached about II O'clock at night.
"It has been. almost impossible for
either Of us,sto remain indoors long
enough to write letter, for the eli
mateis SO glorious here. Flowers are
everywhere, orange trees full Of fruit,
geTaniums ten feet high, rose trees
fifteen feet high full of roses in bloom
| and also hanging roses.
Palm trees thirty to forty feet high
| and all kinds Of flowers are planted
along the sidewalks. The cacti are Of
enormous size, and wherever you look
all kinds of flowers are In full bloom.
Yesterday we got onto the cars and
rode for miles and miles out into the
country and everywhere the scenery

skies are glorious. The city is won

hanging over it like most cities of its
size. The atmosphere is warm and in
vigorating. To the east you may see
snow capped mountains, while at your

Will Stay in California.
1--WE have both decided that we will
never return to st. Louis. We are
happy here. In fact, everyone is happy
here. The parks are crowded all day
with people sitting on the benches
summing themselves, or In the shade
among the beautiful flowers. If you
were here. you would say with us, this
is the place to stay
"The street car system here is the
/ best we have ever seen. We took 6
i ride over the car line for seven miles
and the speed was as good as any
railroad train. Everyone here is push
ing, everybody moving. At night
see more people on the principa
streets than I ever saw in st. Louis
Do you wonder we are wild about the
place?
! II find that l can do as well here al
i could in ST. Louis, while living ex
penses are even lower than they were
there. No fuel is needed, the days are
pleasant and cheerful; in fact, it !:
sunshine, nothing but sunshine, will
clear skies and happy, jolly people
No wonder people come here by The
thousands to spend the winter. 1t il
worth coming to-
