Mckinley on the Value Of Labor,

No worthy American wants to-
reduce the price of labor in the
United States. 1t ought not to-be
reduced for the sake of the labor
er aud his family and the good Of
society it ought to be maintained
To increase it would be III better
harmony with the public sense.
Our labor must not be debased,-
nor our laborers degraded 10 the
level of slaves, nor an pauper or
servile system in any form, nor
under any guise whatsoever, at
home or abroad. Our civilization
will not permit it. Our humanity
forbids it. Our traditions are OPP
posed to it. The stability Of our
institutions rests upon the con-
tentment and intelligence Of ali
our people, and these can only be
possessed by maintaining the Dig
nifty of labor aud securing to it it's
just rewards. That Protection
opens new avenues for employ
mont, broadens aud diversifies the
field of labor, and presents variety
Of vocation, is manifest from our
own experimentation. VIM. Nc

A Cats Own Story.

was born on the 18th day of February,
1885, at the Dollhouse on Angel Island,
and until week ago had never heard any
thing but the tolling of the bell and the
sound of the waves as they dashed on the
rocks, but within the past week l have
seen more than most cats of my age.
l shall try to relate the story of my ad-
ventures so that it will give pleasure to
my childish readers.
On last Thursday afternoon 1 was awak-
ened from my afternoon nap by young
man dressed in blue, who took me up care
fully and placed me in basket and car
RED me ever SO far away from the big bell,
that l had grown so used to, to large
house, where there were lots of other
young men dressed the same as he was.
Here I was given saucer of warm milk
and put to bed for the night.
The next morning the same young man
took me from the basket and gave ne
more milk. After 1 had DRINK the milk I
was put into box with a lot of holes in it
and taken down to little boat and put
aboard, and thus my journey began.
A few moments later the boat began to
move and commenced to cry, but l soon

NIishap on a Corncrib.

There is an old story about boy who
was hoeing corn one hot day in his fathers
field. He didn't feel like hoeing, and so
he burrowed his bare brown toes in the
warm soil and watched for stray toads. He
had already killed four or five, and it was
much more fun than hoeing corn. Sud-
denly he saw an unusually large one wrig-
Cling almost at his feet. He struck it a
hard blow with the hoe, and the next in
stant he was curled up on the ground,
bowling with pain. He had mistaken his
big toe for load and cut it almost off.
The story was called to mind by the
accident that happened not long ago to
little girl who lives in Southern Illinois.
She was playing around her fathers corn.
crib one afternoon, when she conceived
the idea of climbing to the top and seeing
what the crib roof was like. So up she
went, using the logs in the crib roof as
ladder rounds. When she was almost up
she found difficulty in getting over the
caves, SO she thrust her arm between two
of the logs, clasping it as far around as
possible. Then she raised heri head.
Within two inches of her nose she saw
several snakelike objects crawling toward
her from between the logs. With shrek
she let go. and down she fell to the ground,
humping her head and spraining her wrist.
And the snakelike creatures she had seen
she was very much afraid of snakes-were
only her own little black fingers reaching
around the crib log.-Chicago Record.

April Fools Day.

Another day for fun a day on which chill
dren love to play pranks and on which even
the old folks indulge in foolish jokes and
absurd tricks. It's all right so long as it is
innocent fun and nothing annoying is
done or said.
The observance of this day is very old
custom and its origin is still wrapped to a
certain extent In mystery.
In searching for something interesting
to tell you about it found that not alone
is it observed in England and America
but that hundreds of years ago in far-awav
Hindostan on certain day people were
sent on fruitless errands and deceived by
false promises, as the following extract will
show:
"Some one would say, NY son come to
my house this night and l will show thee
huge round cheese where thou shalt eat
as much as thou canst cut And then
when the simple one appeared, he, on be-
ing handed large knife, was told to help
himself to slice of the MOON"
On certain day in spring the Japanese
were wont to present useless and foolish
gifts, and to send others on fruitless er-
rands, just as is done in England and

Hundreds of years ago there roamed
In the Golden State of California the bold
Nayarits, whose chief was such q brave
warrior that none of the other
tribes could conquer him. So mighty was
he that all bowed down and reverenced
him. Many tribes from afar sought his
council and smoked with him the pipe Of
peace.
His heart was tender and gentle as a
little child's, and although brave and per-
haps cruel in battle. he was never known
to wound the joyous birds of the noun
tain. His home life was an ideal one. sur
rounded as he was by seven young braves
and one beautiful daughter, who was wor-
SHIPPED alike by father, brothers and the
whole tribe of Nayarits. She moved
among them like a glorious spirit
kind and sweet to all. The old and the
feeble received her smile as well as the
brave and strong. Her patient shoulders
bore the load of many weary
soul. By an unknown charm she
softened the toilsome ways OF the world

called stamens. On top of each stamen is a
little case, which holds powder called pollen.
The little case that holds the pollen is called
the anthem.
There are twenty-five stamens; in the middle
OF the stamens are the pistils. If you pull off
the petals and stamens, and leave nothing but
the stem something funny will happen.
Break the stem at the top and open it and
you will find little cradle called the ovary
Break the ovary and you will find some
poppy seeds in it. So the plants that will be
here next year are in their cradle fast asleep.
And nice long sleep they will have l am
sure. When they wake up they will not be
seeds but little poppy plants.

Dear Editor: AS you expressed a wish in
Sundays CALL for the boys and girls to write
as much as they could about our own dear
flower, the California poppy, thought would
write you as much as 1 know about it.
The poppys favorite place of growth is Cali
fornia. 1t fourishes best in the sun. There
are single and double poppies. A poppy is
about the size of an ordinary-sized rose. The
double poppy is shaped like pink, and varies
very cry little In color from the single one
The poppy has four petals, which are shaped
like the petals OF rose, but are much larger
and thinner. There are different colors of
goppies, namely, white, pink; crimson, etc.
grows from the seeds of the single one.
When 1T is going to seed the petals drop of,
leaving bulb containing the seeds. The bulb
is round, similar to q nt-bag that is tied
with ribbon. Opium is obtained from the
insplssa ted juice of the poppy. Your little
friend, JEANETTE C. TAILOR, 10 years old.

death like sweet dream or the delicate
fragrance of the lotus flower. One day she
wandered farther from her fathers people
OF waving mustard. Suddenly her heart
leapt with Joy for growing at her feet was
flower like a golden cup. Hastily draw
ing her jeweled dagger she knelt and care
fully dug the pretty flower from the
ground, when 10 at each fiber of the root
was tiny pebble of gold. In an ecstacy
OF delight she clasped it to her bosom,
and with her own rosy lips kissed its dewy
petals breathing her pure lovely spirit

baimy odor the consolation of sleep Thus
