Patriotic School Children.

A crowded house with a most enthu- siastic audience of the children of the James Lick Grammar School assembled in Duvenick's Hall on Twenty-fourth and Church streets last night for the purpose of aiding the Red Cross funds. The little patriots of the ninth grade conceived the idea of doing something to assist their big brothers who have left their homes to fight for the honor of Old Glory and their native soil.
 The young folks made out programme and asked their principal. Philip Prior. to preside at the entertainment. The hall children of the school and their friends

From sunrise to sunset the men are drilling, and notwithstandlng the fact that many of them are raw re- cTuitS, they are now well up III military tactics.
 In some of the regiments the men are poorly clad but they expect with the enu of each day that the morrow will bring them their outfits. While not a few or the recruits are in need of clothing to keep them warm when the wind from the ocean sweeps over the camp ground, there is no grumbling or complaining. The fire of patriotism and love Of country Keeps them warm.
 The soldier boys, instead of complain ing, are singing the praises of the hospi- tality of the people of San Francisco. The several camps are visited daily by thou sands of people, and each visitor brings
 some little comfort to the men who are many miles away from their homes and loved ones. The visitor may be httIe

WAR INCIDENTS.

The manager of the Del Monte Mills, on the corner of Grammar and Second streets, was the recipient of a drubbing at the hands of one of his men on Monday after noon because he refused to allow the boys in the mill to look out of the windows and wave their good-bys to the soldiers of the First Regiment. When the men made request that they be allowed a few mirl- utes to see the troops pass 1t was denied. Feeling that this action from the manage menu of a mill which had received a large Government order was unpatriotic in the extreme, the men decided to take things into their own hands and bid the soldier boys adieu in spite of the manager. They went to the windows, and when the man. ager became abusive one of the men promptly knocked him down and taught him a little patriotism.
