was from "gang" of children who were
gathered about huckster's wagon.
"Say, missus," they called out cheer
fully, "fer two bits you en- buy enough
melons to treat the whole crowd of us.''
1t would not do to encourage such be-
havior, so 1 went on up the hill without
responding. A mighty whoop went up
| from the gang" and somebody shouted,
''Let's go ahead up to the parkI'
1.-THE park is the summit of the hill
with its crumbling walls of adobe, its
abandoned wooden castle and it's superb
views.
All the children began to talk at once,
| and it seemed to me that each ones voice
| was higher and shriller than anybody
| else's.
l want to tell THE CALLS children right
now that the tones of your voices tell
| people who listen to them a great many
| things.
| different, for, alas folks-even very little
| folks-are able to make words say things
which are not true. But if you are not
earnest and truthful, if you are not kind
and loving, your voice will be sure to tell
it. Have you not heard people saying, II
am very glad" in such sorry tones that
| you were sorry too, or in such growing
you not heard people saying polite things
| to each other in little voices that didn't
seem to come from farther down than their
| Threats, and sounded only anxious to
| please. and not honest and hearty the
! least bit2
If we will only stop to think little
while about how much our voices tell, and
| our faces tell, and the way we hold our
heads, and the way we walk tells, think
we shall all make up our minds that it's
| no use pretending to be anything that we
are not, and that the only way is to be the
sort of person we want to appear.
hope the Mount of Olives was better
place to preach sermons than Telegraph
| Hill is. The wind up there seems to have
a special grudge against hats and against
| people who haven't sense enough to keep
quiet. If you must talk you turn your
back to the wind-there now! Until this
minute I've been supposing that those
blessed children up there talked in those
high, shrill voices on account of too much
ompetition--because they were eager and
excited and, perhaps greedy.
All of sudden / realize that it is only
the wind. They have had to try all their
lives to pitch their small voices so that
they can be heard above the windsl
"Yus kids kin jest keep quiet-Pm goin'
to talk to de layde about dis hill myself
said coming politician, aged 10, when he
had arranged himself with reference to the
wind.
He told me all about it. And if was
not afraid the young rascal would buy
paper and grow conceited at what it says
about him, would tell you that don't
believe there is another boy OF 10 in this
City-and, OF course, that means nor any

quiet as mice, and watched the fire while
they waited for the story to begin.
Grandpa was not in the least hurry. In
this the evening of his life the evening g
quiet pleased him always.
No new-fangled arrangements of gas or
electricity invaded the peaceful room, and
as the wood fire now blazed up till the far
corners of the chamber were revealed and
now died down to bed of glowing Goals,
the old man watched it with the chill
dren-waiting, perhaps, that some one OF
memory's pictures that came and went
among the embers should crystalline into a
story.
By and by the little girl poked out her
slippered foot and touched her brother to
show him that grandpa was going to take
pinch OF snuff from the silver snuffbox
that had offered its tempting contents to
know not how many soldiers and states
men of colonial days.
After two or three good old-fashioned
sneezes, and after the candles, too, had
been snuffed-these with pair of scissors
with sort of little box on one blade, and
that looked as if they must have come over
in the Mayfower-grardpa cleared his
throat with a deliberate s'Ahem!"

and peeping out through a little hole tina
she had thawed by breathing on the glass
and rubbing it with her fingers. At last
she saw something that looked as if it fell
from the fence beyond the field down into
the snowdrifts. She was not sure at first,
and so she waited, hoping still that
Charles stout boots would come gathering
over the doorsill.
AT last mother told her fears, and father
and Tray hurried out to see what could be
the matter.
"They found boy lying in the drifted
snow with his eyes fast shut--a frozen boy,
who would have been as dead as he seemed
if help had not come just in time.
"Hot blankets and plenty of rubbing
brought the boy out all right, of course, or
else how could we all be sitting here to-
gether, SO warm and so happy Pr
A sympathetic tear for the little bow
whose hands and feet had ached so with
the cold while he built the fire for Others
TO enjoy was dropped on grandpa's cheek
when the little girl and the little boy came
to kiss him tender goodnight. And
which one of the two children do you sup

there's Alcatraz, and that's deep-sea sail
ing snip Just coming from China or Aus
tralia or somewhere; that beautiful white
thing over there is regulur man-of-war.
A man-of-war has lot of brass guns and
lots of fighting soldiers, and she sails all
over the world to fight-colored people!

Of course / am telling you most of this in

Do you see that pole up on top of the
castle? Well, every day at quarter of IL
somebody touches a button or something
away over at Mare Island, almost fifty
miles away, and gold ball shoots up to
the top of that pole by electricity.
At II o'clock the ball falls, by electricity

Another game of the hill tribes is the
throwing of hats. 1t is very naughty and
destructive, of course, but if the hats ever
come down or up again it really doesn t
matter much, for they are such very bad
hats to begin with that little journey in

larger one. as he really ought, and they
throw them to the wind as if they were
tossing food to some invisible monster.
And the wind seizes the hats with rush,
sometimes with roar
1t Is really very good sport-for boys
to watch Mr.. Winds tricks with those hats.
Sometimes he will take them two at time
and roll them round and round each other
a few times, make one bump into the other

rooster, then sweep the two mile apart

On the slopes of the hill brown-eyed
boys and girls speak soft language that
belongs not to the city they were born in.
They have soft eyes, too, and they can't
help being picturesque in their gay clothes,
even if these are rags.
The little Italian Americans do not
shrek shrilly after the fashion of their
neighboring foes. In fact, they don't in
dulge in oratory at all, and conversation is
mostly carried on with their big bright
eyes. They are industrious little types,
though, and they build streets and exca-
vate the earth generally. while the coming
politicians are talking together and hold
ing caucuses to prove whose big brother
is the strongest and whose house is liable
to topple downhilI first.
Babies are many on Telegraph Hill, and
mothers are mothers all the world over.
One mother, climbing the hill as / came
down, carried a bouncing rosy boy in her
arms as she climbed slowly and YEARLY
homeward.
And, getting tow by holding mother
skirts with grimy hands, two or three more
little shavers toiled along behind.

The Minister'S Daughter.

In the minister's morning sermon
He had told of the primal fall,
iAndah0w thenceforth the wrath Of God
Rested on each and ALL
And how, of his viii and pleasure,
All souls, save chosen few,
Were doomed to the quenehless burning,
And held in the way thereto.
Yet never by faiths unreason
A saintlier soul was tried,
And never the harsh old lesson
A tenderer heart belied.
And after the painful service
OF that pleasant Sabbath day,
He walked with his little daughter
Through the appleblooms Of May.
Sweet in the fresh, green meadows
Sparrow and blackbird sung;
Above him their tinted petals
The blossor1ing orchards hung.
Around on the wonderful glory
The minister looked and smiled;
elbow good Is the Lord who gives us
These gifts from his hand, my childi
"Behold in the bloom of apples
And the violets in the sward
A hint of the old lost beauty
OF the Garden of the Lord"
Then up spake the little maiden,
Treading on snow and pink:
% Father! these pretty blossoms
Are very wicked, think.
"Had there been no Garden of Eden
There never had been fall:
And if never a tree had blossomed
God would have loved us ALL
"Hush, child" the father answered,
''By his decree man fell;
His ways are in clouds and darkness,
But he doeth all things wen.
"And whether by Gods ordaining
To us cometh good or i'll,
Joy or pain, or light or shadow,
We must fear and love him STILL
"Oh, I fear him 7" said the daughter,
'And try to love him, too:
But wish he was good and gentle,
Kind and loving as you"
The minister groaned in spirit
As the tremulous lips of pain
And wide, wet eyes uplifted
Questioned his own in vain.
And lol from the bloom and the greenness,
From the tender skies above
And the face of his little daughter
He learned lesson of love.
Thereafter his hearers noted
In his prayers tenderer strain,
And never the gospel of hatred
Burned on his lips again.
