ADAY IN SWEET SEPTEMBER.

Do you think of day that is gone,
Love
An autumn day, golden and sweet;
When we walked thro' the pine wood
green fragrance
with a carpet of thatch meath our
feet?
The golden rod gilded the meadows,
The cardinals famed in their pride,
The sumae glowing scarlet, or russell,
And the asters were amethyst-dyed'
with a whirr-r. from its nest in the
broom-sed9e
The startled brown partridge would
fly:
And the little grey rogue of squirrel
Peeped down with its restless black
eye.
The musical tinkle of cow bells
Floated soft on the luminous air;
AS reluctant, the slow browsing cattle
Turned homewards from pasture
lands fair.
And we walked through the gold OF
the sunlight, -,
With the neafb VI INV NNNN
ablaze,
From the hope and the promise OF
morning.
Into grey twilight's shadowy maze.
/ know not just why | remember
That walk, which together we took'
So wildly: yet while Tn writing
In fancy | still hear the brook
That rippled and wimpled and muir
INJURED.
As it hid meath the culvert's rough
arch:
Then flashed out like ribbon OF silver
Through a thiclet of alders ana
beach
All the brook still flows on TO the
river,
And the river winds on to the sea;
But that day with its sweetness ana
promise
Now comes back to you and to me.

when compared with his solemn majesty,

when compared with his solemn majesty,
the baby.
His majesty was old enough to " take
notice, and his admiring relatives wished
him to take as much notice as he possibly
could, and a great deal that he couldn't
possibly.
They had brought him out to the park
to take notice, and they made heroic efforts
to impress those sixty, or six hundred, or
SIX thousand, or something, acres upon
that infantile understanding.
But when they supplied that hapless
baby with a rubber nipple to enjoy, these
fond parents must have forgotten some
thing. They must have been Obvious Of
the well-known fact that even a great big
girl cannot think about things when she
has gum to chew.
And so his majesty, the baby, chewed
his rubber nipple stolidly, and blinked his
solemn eyes, and took no heed of time nor
place.
Just one little girl that saw at the park
had good time. And the way that she
managed to do it was by being forehanded
enough to select the proper sort OF mother
for herself.
At first there didn't seem to be any
mother anywhere in the game. Little

could serve as an excuse Tor going TO the
circus.
Oftentimes these jolly old ladies forget
all about the baby they have borrowed as
soon as they are crowded up together in a
bunch. They watch the passers-by, they
gossip amiably, they even go to sleep
ometimes.
What awful fate do you suppose befell a
baby that got lost out at the park?
Why, he was taken up to the dairy and
fed milk that tasted like cream and bread
that tasted like cake till one of his six or
eight grandmammas came climbing up
the steps and rescued him!
Wasn't that narrow escape2
There is one thing at the parade that is
funnier than the grandmammas and that
is the little handful of fond papas.
They smile so benignantly-these good
papas-upon their new and improved kind
Of childhood.
They even grow sentimental about it all,
and have seen their eyes fill with glad
tears IS they beh old these strictly up-to-
date little lads and lassies. Or are they,
after all, tears of pain because they know
so well how many nickels all their pretty
little exhibition costs? Best of all, they
may be tears of shame and of sympathy
that the children know no better life than
this.
Perhaps through those tears or back of
them shine visions of happy boys in few
and tattered garments-boys who climbed
to the tops of trees to shout and whistle
and sing their Joy of life; boys who would
have found a nickel burdensome wealth in
a world where all things grow in trees or
meadows or running brooks, and need
only the touch of mothers hands to make
them good.
"Give yer evening paper fer yer trans
ferl"
A little chap with baby face yelled that
at me when I stepped off the car down
town.
He was genuine wideawake boy, and it
was positive relief to see one without a
ruffied sailor-collar where his shoulders
ought to be.

Then | thought some more about the
little 12-year-old girl who was born on
Telegraph Hill, and has lived there all her
life, who told a friend of mine that she had
never heard there was such a place as
Golden Gate Park.
Wouldn't it take very great deal OF
careful instruction in, the great public
schools to really crystalline the idea Of citi-
zenship and patriotism and social equality
in the brains of even the children of this
free and democratic Western City?
That same park is unquestionably one OF
the most beautiful spots on this broad
earth, take it the season round. 1t is a
blessing unspeakable to the children, who
need beauty as the flowers needs the sun.

If only they would ride the donkeys for
fun and pat them sometimes, or examine

only they would stop riding because Bob
or Jenny was tired or wanted to eat grass,
or because they wanted to do something
else themselves.
But no. These little old-young babies
ride the donkeys because they have nickels
to spend and they want to get good bar
gains for them. They stop riding when
they have spent the allotted sum, and the
donkeys spend the nickes in their turn, /
suppose, for hay and grass to keep them
strong enough to keep going round and
round the ring forever and forever.
There are some people who enjoy the
children's parade after all.
They are the comfortable great-aunts
and grandmammas who till up some OF the
benches till they look like removable Sec
tons of some old ladies' home.
Six or eight of them will travel out to the
park under pretext of taking care of some
one poor little mite of a baby whom they
have managed to borrow for the occasion

hundred years ago used to go about in
hordes seeking for presentable child who

RICKETTS, ON LAMOREUX,
The Land Departm ent Is Not
Spared by the Miners
Attorney.
What the Committee Has Accom-
plished Against the Southern
Pacific.

Funds have not yet begun to come in to
the California Miners Association to en-
able it to successfully carry on its fight in
the Department of the Interior against the
land-grabbing Southern Pacific, but in
has been expressed by the individual min
ers themselves and the press of few of
the interior cities as to the nature OF the
work being done by the com mittee of the
association on the protection of mineral
lands.
This grumbling and "kicking'' about
the committee, it is broadly charged by
the officers of the State Association, has
been inspired by the Southern Pacific it.
self. Chairman Ricketts, made a statement
yesterday of the work done.
He uses some burning words in his allu-
sions to Commissioner Lamoreux of the
United States General Land Office. Mr..
Ricketts, said:
The California Miners Association was not
formed, as has been erroneously stated, for the
sole purpose of rehabilitating the hydraulic
mining industry, but to ''protect, develop and
foster the mining industry of the State Of Cali
fornia in all its branches"
The first question which engaged its atten-
ton was to secure relief for the hydraulic
miner, enjoined from working his mines by
the United States Circuit Court. The efforts OF
the association to this end have resulted in the
resumption of work in many of the hydraulic
mines of this State, and the success of its un-
dertaking is largely attributable to the labors
of Senators Cross and Ford. The work con.
sumed something more than $4,000 and
about three years of time, and is not yet com.
pleted, nor in wholly satisfactory condition.
The next matter engaging the attention OF
the association was the amending of the exist
ing Federal mining law, which matter was in
trusted to Frank G. Newlands, Congressman
from Nevada. who introduced into the House
the bill prepared by the miners, but it has yet
failed OF passage. It Is intended to reintroduce
The committee on the protection of the
mineral lands was appointed last November.
This committee knew that not only were the
acts of Congress abrogated and the decisions
of the Supreme Court ignored by the Land
Department of the United States, but 1t knew
that the most persistent efforts of the people OF
the States of Idaho and Montana to obtain
relief from this branch of the Government in
the matter of mineral lands had proved futile

were not one bit the worse OF 1t when their
small owner rolled over and over down the
long grassy slopes.
She was a little "only child" You
guessed it without telling because she
loved so in the presence of the others.
She stopped an instant to bestow sunny
smile on me, and / asked her if she was all
alone
"Why, no." she said, laughing with her
eyes that should be SO stupid; I'm wiz
all these girlsl"
She waved her hand comprehensively
and danced away, fitting from group to
group like some new-fangled butterfly, and
slipping new stores Of comfort and good
cheer from everywhere.
When she felt shade lonely for an
instant she would dance up to some strange
girl near by and say, ever SO prettily
''Say, do you like me?" And every single
time the older girl would be sure to say:
"Why, yes; just love you, you dear, little,
cunning thing, YOU"
And began to wonder if, after all, that
wasn't very good way to behave.
There was a mother after all. She
emerged from somewhere, with a book in
her hand, just as the fog began to roll in.
And little Scarlet-coat went laughing and
dancing away with her, without having
been once told to "don't," or to ''stop,''
or to "be careful" the whole happy after
noon. Wasn't that mother worth having,
thought
Once l heard some dreadful boys having
q dreadful conversation about mothers.
One of them was older than the rest, and
he was spick and span, as if he had Just
stepped out of a bandbox. "For my part,
he said, ''I' m glad [ never had mother"
''Why?" We'll, if I'd had one she'd have
taken me to picnics, and she'd have spit
on her handkerchief and washed my face
with it. I'd rather get along without any,
thank YOU"
I wonder if the occasions when the Pope
is carried on litter about the halls of the
Vatican are half as solemn and cere-
monious as the occasions when the chill
dren ride the donkeys at the park.
A pageant for the Sultan couldn't pos
sibly be more funereal, even if everybody
knew that the people who spoke or smiled
were going to have their foolish heads re-
moved when it was over. Donkeys, goats
and children, each kind and each indi-
vidual trying to look older, sadder, more
conventional than any other kind or in
dividual ever did or could.
Sometimes the grandmothers or the
proud papas who cluster about the "gang-
way got just the least bit frisky-the chill
dren never do. They don't get frightened
either, nor eager, nor noisy. They simply
ride sedately around the track-twice round

if it is time to "hurry home, because

legal services.
The estate, which consists principally Of
stocks and bonds, and real estate in va
rious parts of California. is reported to be
in fourishing condition. The settlement
of defaulted interest on last years account
made the income for 1894 '95 much larger
than ever before. Most of the overplu:
