penetrate this coat of skins, which was
not, if you please, a coat of fur. 1t was a
light coat, fine like silk, and shedding the
rain as it turned away the wind.
1 meant to tell you all about wonder
full Christmas dinner that my missionary
friend was able to set forth for those
natives some time after that-a dinner
where they had everything that comes in
tin cans and were going to have the finest
oyster stew in the world till they remem-
bered tnat you can't stew oysters in con-
densed milk-but it is time that my story
came down from Alaska.
Some of the young Americans who live
right out here in Arizona are just about as
barbaric as any people in the world.
1t is not any time at all since the Apache
Indians used to kill people in such incon-
ceivably horrible ways that even the books
about cannibals and pirates do not tell
anything like it. 1t used to be said that
these dreadful people would tie their pris-
oners to stake and build little fire
about their feet. Then the big "braves"-
only you will not think, surely, that they
were really brave at all-the big braves
would sit around laughing and enjoying
themselves, while their children were
taking the prisoners to pieces, just one
little joint at time.

And then the girls father, fire, proud
Californian, who didn't think titles were
worth the trouble Of wearing, sent those
people over some information regarding
his family" which made them feel that
their English titles were very new and very
tawdry indeed when they had to be COM
pared with the fine old Spanish ones our
Californian wouldn't bother with-except
to please his pretty daughter.
Of course we, the children OF the Grin
goes, are the most important young folks
in California-everybody knows that. But,
after all, Uncle Sam does as much for
other kinds of infants, trying, of course, to
make them grow like US.
There is public school with flag over
it up in Chinatown where white school
ma ans spend their time trying to teach
little Chinese in gorgeous pink and impos-
sible green silk trousers to read and figure
in true public school fashion. Very good
pupils too do these picturesque little Ori-
entails make; and-would you believe it?-
when their school closes in the afternoon
they go right along to a Chinese school

The race that has right to be remem-
bered first is surely the Indian. There are
not many Indian children - fewer and
fewer each year. Mrs. Hudson, who surely
has right to paint Indian babies, since
she herself was born right up there among
them-one of the first pair of white twins
born in Mendocino County-Mrs. Grace
Hudson has given everybody who looks at
The CALL a chance to see exactly what
Indian babies are like. There are just a
few thousand of them scattered about the
State, and except when they grow up and
find whisky to drink our California In
dians make very little trouble for Uncle
Sam or anybody else.
Our Indians live in houses that are
more like big baskets than anything else,
and most of them are very poor. They
have been driven from pleasant woods and
springs they loved to dreary, desert places,
and the game and crops of acorns that
used to be their food grow less and less
plentiful as the years. go by. The race is
dying, but let US hope it is to make place
for better and happier one.
The Spaniards and Mexicanos were the
trst white people to overrun California.
Many of them are here still, and some are
rich and proud. 1t is said that when an
Englishman, who had title, wished to
marry Spanish girl of our State, his peo-

Eaten by an Alligator.

A young Jamaican met horrible death
in Port Limon, Costa Rica, on Sunday,
October 6, in the river Banana, having
been caught and eaten by an alligator.
Sinclair, with several other companions,
had gone to bathe in the river, and while
in the water the alligator appeared, when
they all made for land.
After getting out it was discovered that
Sinclair was missing. His friends, how
ever, hopeful of recovering the whole or
part OF his body. went away, but returned
to the river an hour later with dynamite
and rifles just in time to see the alligator
on the surface of the water with Sinclair
in his mouth, whom he held by his left
side, but as soon as the alligator spied
them he went below with his victim and
never came to the surface again, despite
all the dynamite and shots which were
discharged in the river all that day until
night.
On the 10th inst. J. Kaempffer shot an
alligator, and, on opening it, found in the
stomach of the rapacious reptile different
parts of human befng-a hand minus
the arm and another hand with the arm
the flesh being still on it: A lot of bones
were also found. It is believed that these
were parts of the unfortunate Sinclair

When asked by his papa what part o.

Alter he had eaten-I was going to say

1t was as much las he possibly could,

She smilingly promised and then they
all went to the drawing room, where Don

before a blazing fire, eating raisins and
nuts and listening to beautiful story
which mamma read aloud, while the
gentle raindrops pattered against the
window panes. Then bedtime came and
the tired, sleepy boy was soon safely
tucked in his little W hi re- crib
Just as mamma was about to leave him
on the verge of slumber land the little
fellow surprised her by sitting UP in bed
and begging for Mr.. Turkeys drumstic
So she went down to the pantry, found the
treasure and took it to him. Oh. how
pleased he was, and mamma left him
gnawing it just the way little doggle
does.
After while, when she went back to the
nursery to wipe his tiny hands and to say
one more goodnight, what do you think
she saw?
Well, it was such funny sight that

If we should get those little Hawaiians
for real own cousins!
They don't wear a stitch of clothes
when they are little-that is, they don't
if they are lucky enough to live in the
native villages where the foreigners don't
set quite all the fashions yet.
And the fathers and mothers of those
little islanders just love them almost to
death.
They love each others children, too
those happy people OF Hawaii. And a
funny thing about those loving mothers
is that they don't think it is anything
strange at ali to trade babies!
Well, of course they all live pretty close
together, anyway, SO nobody need cry
about it. And it must be very convenient
if your family has too many boys in it to
trade some of them off for girls, or vice
versa.
To come back from those nephews and
nieces that old Uncle Sam really hasn't
adopted yet, there are enough children in
our own California to write book about.

something to discipline such nephews and
nieces as that?
Well, be has done all sorts of things.
Some of them were wise and some were
foolish, and altogether those naughty
Apaches have cost US d great many lives
and great many dollars.
Besides the dear little yankees" who
live way down in Maine and the rest of
New England, the honey-tongued children
who live ''way down in Dixie" just think
how many hundred thousands of coming
Presidents and Presldentesses who are just
now showed under in the Middle and
Western Statesl
There are the Wolverines who live in
Wisconsin, the Buckeyes who are born in
Ohio just on purpose to run things in Wash
ington when they get big, and the dear
little Hoosiers who begin to talk the best
kind of common-sense right through their
noses long before they are able to walk
step.
There are plenty of native-born Ameri-
cans IN almost every State in the Union
who can't speak word of English, but
after all l believe California has the most
astonishing gconglomeration of races of any

Among the foreigners who have got to
be taught to be good Californians there
are the children who belong among the
10000 people of Switzerland who are living
in our State The Swiss Minister PIeni-
potentiary and Envoy Extraordinary (that
is his really truly title, and he has it en-
graved on his visiting card), has just been
out here to visit these people.
l hope that when he gets back to Wash
ington he will tell Uncle Sam to please
make those Swiss children go to our
schools and learn English, so that you
journey in some parts of the State without
finding a single English-speaking family.

GRANDPAPA's GLASSES.

NV grandpapa has to wear glasses,
Cause his eyesght Is not very strong,
And he calls them his "specs," and he's worn then
For ever and ever so long.
And when he gets through with his reading
He carefully puts them away,
And that's why I have 10 help find them
Bout twenty-five times in day.
But at night when we sit round the table,
And papa and mamma are there,
He reads Just as long as he's able,
And then fails asleep in his chair.
And he sits there and sleeps in his glasses,
And you don't know how funny II seems;
But he says he just has 10 wear them
To see things well iu his dreams.
