THE DONALD SERIES
FOR TINY BOYS
NO. vi.

NO. VI.
The other day Donald ran into the house
CRYING "Mamm a." Mamma" will all his
might.
Mamma met him at the door and led
him into the room.
Seating herself aud drawing him geotly
to her side she saw that something was
troubling him very much.
His eyes were filled with tears, his little
cheeks were flushed, and he was trembling
in every part of bis body.
"Why, what is the matter with my little
MANI" asked mamma.
well just look at that" answer ed
Donald, pushing a paper before her eyes.
On the paper was picture of Santa
Claus laden with toys; toys enough to
make 100 boys and girls dance with de-
light. A picture of the same dear old
Santa-the jolly cid elf. But why, do you
ask, did picture of Santa Claus make
Donald feel so badly?
Well, I shall try to tell you if l can-be-
cause a great big lump comes up in my
throat whenever l think of it.
Santa Claus in the picture was not riding
in his sleigh He was not driving his
eight tiny reindeer, but was riding on
bicycle.
Think of it! Santa Claus on a wheel!
Santa Claus in boomers and sweater! Who
ever heard of such thing?
Not much wonder Donald felt indignant
when he saw that picture
Then mamma told him that it was only
an advertisement-(Ma mmas, please ex-
plain to your tiny boys just what adver-
tisement means)-and that she felt sure
that the night before Christmas Santa
Claus would visit the homes of all good
children. seated in his fur-robed sleigh full
of toys, drawn by the same little reindeer
that are so precious to childish hearts the
wide world over.
l know all the little boys in this beauti-
full City of ours join with Donald in say
ing: "Please, Santa, don't ride e wheelW

HIGH PRICES FOR GAME,
No Profit to the Market-Hunter
and a Luxury to the
Consumer.
The Reason Is Simply That the Local
Middlemen Exact Tax
From Both.

There has been considerable inquiry of
in price. Since the opening of the season
for shooting quail and water fowl thou
sands of both kinds of game have been
shipped to this City from the Suisun
marshes, Sacramento River and the upper
San Joaquin district. Market-hunters are
out in all directions and every train brings
in dozens of bags of game, yet the hunters
make but little above their cost of ammu-
milton and living expenses and the house
gife has to pay gilt-edged prices if she
fancy roast mallard, goose or broiled quail.
A lady who has a large family to pro-
vice food for remarked that she was un-
able to purchase mallard ducks less than
70 cents pair, and canvasback cost about
the same price. Small ducks cost 40 and
so cents pair i'll the markets. Those who
are obliged to dine in the restaurants have
to pay IS cents for half of poor little
teal or widgeon, and much higher price
for mallard or cans.
The market-hunter also makes loud COM
plant. One of these men from the upper
San Joaquin in discussing the situation
yesterday said that there was but little
profit in the business after ammunition
and provisions were paid for, to say moth
ing OF the loss of time and labor. He
stated that every day from fifteen to
twenty sacks, each sack containing five or
six dozen ducks, were sent from his neigh
borhood.
And what returns do we get 2" said he.
THE papers quote mallard at 81 and 81 SO
dozen. We get So aad So so if we are
lucky and pay the freight charges our
selves. The freight amounts to cent a
pound or 30 to Is cents sack The com
mission merchants pay US just what thew
please. and it is their pleasure to cut down
the prices without any conscience"
The retail dealers protest that they are
not at fault for this condition OF affairs.
They claim that they only charge for their
game such prices as will allow fair profit
to their business. Naturally enough thew
decline to tell what prices they paw. claim
ing that 10 do so would be to injure them in
their standing with the middlemen who
control the market and the prices.

Buttercup, Poppy. Forg et-Me-Not.

Buttercup, Poppy, Forget-me-not-
These three doomed in a garden spot;
And once, all merry with song and play,
A little one heard three voices say:
''Shine, and shadow. summer and spring,
o thou child with the tangled hair
And laughing eyes three shall bring
Each Offering passing fair
The little one did not understand,
But they bent and kissed the dimpled hand.
Buttercup gamboled all day long,
Sharing the little ones mirth and song;
Then stealing along on misty CLEANS,
Poppy came bearing the sweetest dreams.
Playing and dreaming-and that was ALL
Till once sleeper would not awake;
kissing the little face under the pail,
We thought OF the words the third hover
spake:
And we found betimes IN hallowed spot
The solace and peace Of Forget-me-not.
Buttercups shareth the Joy OF day,
Glinting with gold the hours of play;
Bringeth the Poppy sweet repose,
When the hands would fold ana the eyes would
close,
And after it all-the play and the sleep
OF little life-what cometh then?
To the hearts that ache and the eyes that weep
a new flower bringeth Gods peace again.
Each one serveth its tender lot
Buttercup, Poppy, Forget-me-not.

Geography Again,

Even if there have been letters printed
from your locality. children, it will not do
the least harm for you to write others. l
you will think little bit about the mat
ter, and take care to mention some really
interesting things that you have observed,
you may be pretty sure that The CALL will
print your letters, even if the spelling does
have to be polished up little bit here and
there.
Bad spelling is ever so much more inter-
esting than good anyway if only some of
our teachers could be induced to think so.
But remember that the English language
is freakish and uncertain tongue at best,
and that some very clever people have con-
tended that you have perfect right to
spell words as they sound ii only you are
careful enough to do that exactly. Here
are just a few of the letters, and l hope
some small boys and girls will be greatly
pulled up with pride at seeing their words
In the paper:
Dear CdH OF course everybody wants to
know about Pasadena, because, perhaps, it Is
the place where the Garden of Eden used to be.
1t is ever so much nicer than that now any
In them, besides all the fruit and flowers you
want. Pasadena is twelve miles from Los An
geies, and the climate Is neither hot nor cold,
but always just ABOUT right. My cousins have
part to their house and they have slept in there
summer and winter for ten years. Roses climb
all over the tent and the roof, too, so you
would think 1T was half built of roses.
yons and there is one place we go to drive that
you have to ford the creek thirteen times in
about an hour. The road keeps along in the
canyon and sometimes there is room for it on

| They made fine eating and they brought

They made fine eating and they brought
good prices IN the market. We used to go
out at night to capture them, and found 1t
very good sport.
~ used to put those I captured in the
smokehouse, and there was beo OF ashes
two or three inches deep all over the floor.
One morning when l went out to look at
my captives some imp must have sug-
gested a mischievous thought to me. L
caught hold of one turtles tail and pulled
it out. Then pushed another turtle over
that way, and he caught hold of the others
tail.
II pulled the second turtles tail out,
too. and brought third one up to join the
procession. which by this time had begun
to move off in good shape.
Il caught another and another, and
when l had a string of turtles holding
each the others tail they were spreading
out those great ugly stupid claws OF theirs
and Just padding round and round that
smokehouse in the most comical way you
can imagine.

Oranges and lemons and figs and aprtcots,
bananas grapes, guavas and Strawberries grow
In our yard. Besides that we raise our own
vanilla beans and artichokes and have walnut
cows and lots of chickens, donkey and some
doves. suppose, though, you could have those
most anywhere. There is hotel here where

Ing little stores and "a postoffice. You can stay
up there on the hill and have everything you
want without once going downtown

FRUITvALE, Dec 2.
Geography Editor: Fruitvale is pretty little
country, and has lots of fruit in 1T. Last sum-
mer we camped out in the bed OF the creek and
the bills, and one Sunday we took walk up to
the place where joaquin Miller lives and raises
roses. The hill is made into terraces, and If
you should pick enough La France roses to
make haystack there would be just as many
left as there were at first, should think.

TULARE, Dec. 1.
Dear Editor of the Gail: Tulare is quiet lit
tie business CITY, where the farmers come to
trade. There is a fine system of irrigation here
now, and our fruit is the biggest and best in
the whole world. 1 feel very sorry for people
who can never have any Oh IL. i IN y! say ~
lare is the most musical town IN the whole
State. That is Just because two or three OF our
music-teachers are SO much IN earnest that they
just won't have it any other way; iney get up
concerts and clubs and they don't seem to
think anything is too much trouble.
In summer we children go out IN the fields
to pick wild flowers, but now everybody goes
mushroom hunting. Anybody can learn to
tell the good ones, and my brother and get two
bucketfuls about every day. we nave them
cooked for supper, but II we get more than we
can use at home we sell few, to the neighbors:
Mushrooms must be pink on the under side,a
they must be easy to feel. Then when YOU
cook them you use silver spoon, If the spoon
does not turn black you needn't be afraid OF
the mushrooms.
1 am going to write some more another day.
