Concerning Los Angeles, Robert A.
l.. in a Chicago paper few days ago
said:
I want to say that / returned a
short time ago from a four months
stay in LosAngeles. My observation
has been that rents in the city are
exceedingly high. Foods, with the ex-
ception of meats, are fairly reason
able. There is a great deal OF un-
employed there and unless one has
has been resident of LosAngeles for
at least two years his application
for work will receive no attention.
This rule is generally observed. I'm
der these conditions can only advise
Eastern Westerners' to let well
enough alone.
An insect is crawling round the
outside OF an orange, which has just
been pitched in westerly direction,
out of the window of railway train
going south at the rate Of ten miles
an hour. The earth is spinning in
an easterly direction at the rate Of
one thousand miles an hour and at
the same time circling the sun at a
sun is revolving at the rate Of four
thousand miles an hour and moving
twelve miles second toward Her

ity of the bug on the orange in time

The great Cahokia Mound ('Monks
Mound",) Madison county ILL.,, is in
great danger of being destroyed.
City jewellers are crowding closer and
closer and fear is expressed that in
time the earthwork will be removed
unless some action is taken. The
Peabody Museum of Harvard uni
versity saved the great serpent of
Adams county, Ohio, and friends in
Wisconsin preserved b Man
mound at BarabOo. originally there
were four groups of mounds on both
sides of the river at ST. Louis but the
crowding population has obliterated
the landmarks which gave the name
Mound City" to the Missouri metro
polls. Perhaps in time steps may be
taken to save the remaining mound
still in fine state of preservation.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Erswell, form
er residents of Baraboo, write from
Ontario, California, of a tragedy
near there which has wrought up
the community q d state. T
beautiful home of bankeF Steele, a
few miles from Ontario, at the mouth
of Live Oak Canyon, was burned, re-
sulting in the mysterious death of
Mr.. and Mrs. Steele found in the base
ment after the fire had. demolished
the superstructure. 1t is a question
as to whether it was murde" with the
fire as a blind for purposes of re-
venge or robbery, or whether the
blaze was accidental and the loss of
life consequence of the conflagra-
ton. There are the usual surmises
and whispers" but no one knows
whether or not the mystery will ever
be cleared up.

Mark Twain once sat in the smok-
ing-room of steamer and listened
to some remarkable stories. Then he
drawled: Boys, these feats of yours
that you've been telling about recall
an adventure of my own in Hannibal.
Old Man Hankinson got caught in the
fourth story of the burning house. It
looked as il he was a goner. None
of the ladders was long enought to
reach him. The crowd stared at
one another with awed eyes. Then all
of sudden, boys, an idea occurred
to me. Fetch a ropei" l yelled.
Somebody fetched rope and with
great presence of mind flung the
end of it to the old man. "Tie her
around your waist!" yelled. Old Man
Hankinson did so, and 1 pulled him
