With the approach Of the grape-har-
vesting and raisin making season the
Indians from the reservations in the
mountains back OF San Diego begin re

yards lie, says the Los Angeles Times.
Among these the beautiful FL Canyon
valley with its broad acres of vines at
tracts many of the dusky people.
Down the grades they come, humping
over rough places and raising clouds
Of dust in their rickety old wagons
and carriages. Horseback, burro back
and on foot, they pass by In large and
small parties. The conveyances are
usually rather dilapidated affairs, pur-
chased from the rubbish heap of sorne
rancher or secondhand dealer and
patched together with baling wire, as is
harness. But sometimes prosperous
tribesman, the owner of q little place
Of his own, passes by, his wagon new
and the squaws and children comfort
ably, though very gaudily, dressed.
Old carriages which have evidently
seen better days are met with, the head
of the family occupying the box and
the women and children piled together
with household effects, feed for the
team and a few dogs. Frequently one
sees a family of two, the squaw, mount

Other reservations will be renewed, and
an old feud or two settled perhaps.
On the road from the reservation to
the valley are many Indian hotels"
with excellent accommodations for man
and beast. To the white man these es-
Establishments would seem mean, but to
the Indian they are the most ideal of
hostelries. They consist of spring

A White Closet.

1t was a sensible woman who had the
large closet under the hall stairs pa
pered in white and the floor covered
with white oilcloth. On the wall were
hung black iron dress hooks, which
could easily be found, and the most con-
venient article in it was an electric
light bulb on long cord, which could
be taken in hand when looking for
boxes packed under the lower stair
steps. These boxes were all white, the
nature of the contents being shown by
a printed label across one end in black
letters. Over the door was hung an old
portiere, which was hidden by the
closet door, but it kept out considerable
dust. The shelves were painted white
and the books that were stored away
we're ali wrapped neatly in white paper
and packed in boxes.

A man who walks across the Brook
Ign bridge will notice that change
has come over the people met on the
promenade, says the New York Sun.
That is to say, nowadays there are
many more italians who use the bridge
for a promenade and outing place.
Mothers Of families walk part OF the
way across and then sit down on the
benches to take the air there. Also,
especially on Sundays, there are many
Italian men who enjoy outings there.
Once upon a time the Jewish folk used
the bridge a great deal.
The Hebrews have taken to the Will
liamsburg bridge. which Is connect
ing link between two of the important
Jewish settlements, the east side and
Brownsville. They have given up their
hold on the Brooklyn bridge and nave
taken to the other.
What will be the racial character

East river bridge is still to be seen.
