HOW TO ACQUIRE A HOME IN CALI¬ 
FORNIA 
A Ifli have always held to the idea that 
\ \ any person with ncdeinte means, anil 
in many instances without, any means, can 
'by only ordinary skill and management, 
acquire a home in a few years hi anv part 
of California. In Southern California to¬ 
day. there an - hundreds id tliuusands of 
opportunities, where a man with a fniuilv 
and little or no menus, by [u r.-istent at 
tention to his own business, by cure and 
eronfimy in executing his plfttm, which if 
laid nut with ordinary coimnon sense, can 
acquire a comforlubl. hoine in a few y< ars. 
The following is one instanno, and will 
serve ns an example, and in similar trials 
we will guarantee that ninety per cunt, 
will be as successful iis Mr. KUlnrn has 
been. When a mini lias a little money to 
begin with, and husbands bis resources 
ami time, the average result will be still 
bitter: 
Mr. N. P. Kilium, near Downey City, 
came to Los Angelos in 1ST I, without a 
dollar. Since then ho has bought and 
paid for twenty-two and a half acres of 
land, from the proceeds of which he has 
paid the following amounta:

A wa,mi in the Detroit fWe Pf- — ro- 
lati-s the following incident of prison life. 
In the paint shop there now is > man whom 
wo fthati call Jim, and w ho is a prisoner on 
a life sentence, Up t/> last spring be was 
regarded as a desperate, daugermi* man, 
ready for rebellion ut any hour. He plan- 
| ned a gejierul outlireuk. and “given 
I away ’ by one of the con«pimt-rn. He 
plotted ft gmicral mutiny or i-nlioll ir.n, and 
was again betrayed. Ho then knpt Ids own 
counsel, and, while never u fnsing to .I- v 
urdns, lie obeyed them like a man who 
only needed bucking to make loin refuse 
to, Olm day in June a party of 'irui-g-rs 
1 eiime to the institution. One was an old 
’ gentleman, the others ladies, and two of 
j the ladies bad small children. The guide 
| took -ne of the children on In- arm, and 
the other walked until the party U’-an 
! climbing stairs. Jim was working ntear by. 
sulky and morose as over, when tlm guide 
j said to him: 
“Jim, won’t you help this little girl np- 
1 slaiisY" 
The convict hesitated, a scowl on Ins 
face, nnd the little girl held out her bauds 
to 1 1 im, nnd Paid: 
" If you will, I guess 1 11 kis-s yon " 
His scowl banished in mi install*, and be 
lifted the child ns tenderly an a father. 
Half-way up the stain* slio ki— 1 him. At 
the head of the stairs slo- said: 
“ Now, you’ve got to kiss me, too." 
He blushed like a wonnn, lo-ted into 
her innocent face, an.1 thm kixved her 
check, ami before he rmctml tin* font of 
I the atnirs again bo had lean ia Ins eves. 
Ever since that day lie ha* b* on a chan *1
