Our State.

o proud California, queen of the West!
Rightly thou rulest, for thou art the best:
With thy fruits and thy flowers, so good to
behold;
With thy low fertile valleys protected from
cold;
With thy long stretch of beach and thy fair
open coast,
Which, of all this great Union, such tayors
can boast?
Oh, wonderful treasure-house, filed with
bright gold,
What tales could thy snowy capped mountains
unfold
Of time before white men came over thy
crest
To conquer thee, glorious queen of the West!
What tales OF thy ons, who now are laid low,
In the heart OF the valleys, where soft breezes
blowl
oh noblest OF States love thee most true.
An honor thou art TO the red, white and blue;
And this is my hope, As we glide amain
To the evergreen shores, where we'll all meet
again,
That thou noble State, from mountain to sea,
May ever be crowned with sweet liberty.

meaning was not quite clear to me, and l
wondered and thought about it q great

when; as to whether it would be the right
one or not, and how should know. Sud-
denly gust of wind from the window
blew the door aiar and l could plainly see
into room which seemed to be dining

recovering a little from my surprise at
what l saw, when another door opened

no! l shouldn't think they'd wait so
long. 1t must be nearly O'Clock. Don t
see what mother is thinking OF, nor why
she spoke so cross when we came in. She
needn't get so mad over nothing. Well,
l don't care; I'll make the tea and we'll
eat our supper any way. Everything is
on the ia ble''
So they went to work and were enjoy

she said to Harold, Now little boy.

be sure not to go outside the house.
Harold really intended to be good, but
when Donald Lane came over and asked
him TO go fishing, he could not resist the
temptation; so he took his fishing polo
and went with Donald.
He caught some fine fish, but just as he
was pulling up great big fish at the last
his rod slipped. Harold tried to catch it,
but missed his footing and fell into the
water.
Donald saw him fall, and quick as a

hunt and fish. and to examine the traps had
set 10 catch squirrels.
found something in one OF them. 1t was a
very pretty skunk. l pulled the trap out of
the hole by the chain and killed him as fast
could.
couple of days after this experience, as
was fishing in the creek, an old mink started
from the other side to swim across the water.
l threw rock at her, and she dropped the
young one, which she held with her teeth,
into the stream and dove out of sight. The
little fellow came ashore 1 succeeded in
catching him and kept him for long time
When he was nearly grown l found him lying
cold and stiff in death one morning; SO tn at
was the end OF that pet.
During my visit also caught turtle. She
laid six eggs, which tried to hatch out in the
hot sand, but did not succeed.
My sister lives in Fruitvale, ana nv brother
and went down to visit her for two weeks
during this happy vacation. While there we
went over to San Francisco many times. We
