If you don't believe it just watch one OF
th ese queer little poppy caps some time as
it slowly moves up to the top OF the
flower and then tumbles to the floor.
At night my poppies, wrapped them
selves up tight in their satiny blankets
and went to sleep, with the exception OF
one saucy fellow who blinked and winked
at the bright lights and stayed awake all
night.
The next morning when his com panions
awoke fresh and beautiful after their rest
he looked as faded and weary as person
does who as stayed out too late at night.
They were very pretty for Sc veral days
and were much admired, but when they
began to lose their golden petals and look
ragged, mamma said, Now we must
throw the poppies away: we don't want
them around any longer"

For Iin4 Folks.

Charley had little dog whom he called
Fido, and he mad taught him many
amusing tricks.
One day while the little boy and his
doggie were having frolic man with
hand-organ and a performing monkey
came along the street.
Charley was delighted with the music
and followed the man to the end of the
block, faithful Fido. close at his heels, en-
ioying the music as much as his little
master.
Finally they grew tired and turned
toward home. As Charley reached the
gate bright idea struck him, and he hur.
ried into the house and up the stairs into
the nursery. He Immediately began to
undress his sisters lovely big doll, and
soon had Fido arrayed in the garments.
Next he took his sisters little music-box
in his hand, and picking up Fido in his
arms ran quickly ont of the house and
down the street toward town. On reach
ing corner where great many people
passed to and fro during that hour of day
he stopped and wound up the box.
As soon as lido heard the familiar
notes, for Charley often had had him per-
form to music. he commenced to dance
jig.
He looked SO comical that every one
who was passing stopped and smiled.
When the box ran down Charley gave
Fido the doIly's hat and the cute little
doggie walked around on his hind legs,
holding the lat out before him just as he
had seen the monkey do.
Charley enjoyed the fun as much as the
passers-by, and when some of them who
knew the little boys parents actually
dropped few nickels into the hat the
little fellow was so tickled that he jumped
for Joy and almost let the music-box fall
as he went to clap his hands.
All at once he heard voice saying in a
sad tone. "Why, Charley"
He looked up quickly and there was his
own dear mamma, surprised and shocked

The first poppies / had this spring came
from the beautiful Piedmont hills, back of
Oakland.
They were of an unusually rich deep
orange color. AS they were picked in the
early morning some of them were still
wearing their little peaked nightcaps,
and thought it would be fun to closely
watch one and see just how it came off,
and now I've got secret to tell you.
There are fairies sleeping down deep
in those golden cups. They sleep all cud-
died up through the cold night. but when
the warm sun shines it awaKens them,
and .hey long to get out, so they push,
and they push. until the green caps pop

about California's flower I shall write little
about the mountain poppy. In the first place
it is of much lighter color than the valley
variety and appears later and lasts much
shorter time. L think it is very appropriate
State emblem for it is found in all parts OF
California. 1 think that nature painted the
poppr golden as hint to man that the most
precious of all metals lies beneath. close

of G. r. c. and with quotation ABOUT the
poppy by Helen Hunt Jackson:
Along Ana cond as hills the shimmering heat
Bathes all tie fields of wheat until they glow,
The popples, 1.-THE and fleet,
Sway like fiery torchm en-, to and fro.
The farmer does not know that they are there;
He walks with heavy feet
Counting the heads of autumn's gain.
While II smile to think that days remain
In which shall be glad, remembering how the

Beautiful poppy
With golden hue,
Roots deep in the ground
Where gold was found,
That lured the pioneer to roam
Far away from his childhood's home,
Which we his grandchildren enjoy
In happiness without alloy;
We roam the hills and valleys green
Gathering flowers that strew the scene
Fair emblems of our Golden State,
That is so dear and grand and great;
And with happy thankful heart
We praise our Maker for the part
He gives US in this garden grand,
To gather Ger this matchless land

1t is generally supposed that the poppy $
satiny flame-colored blossoms glitter and
glow under California's skies alone, but in
truth it has spread its ''cloth of gold" over
many parts OF Oregon. Washington, Ne
vada, Arizona and New Mexico, while on
the little island of Santa Catalina it
faunts its very gayest and most gorgeous
blooms.
The California poppy blooms from early
springtime till late in the fall, but varies
much in both size and color with the
seasons.
At first it blooms freely, its great deep
cups shining like molten gold; then, as
the year wanes, it climbs the mountain
sides, as if following the sun, and the
cups. held up by the slender stems for
warmth and light, are very small and OF a
pale, sickly yellow.

And as it lifts its golden head
From out its feathery leaves,
Behold! the very land o'erspread
With our California poppies.

In the cool and shady dell.

Remember these gold-hued poppies
Are emblematic of our State.
