Now in Possession.

A meeting of the Bank Commissioners
was held yesterday and the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court was sub
mitted. This was in the case of Charles
F. Braslan against the Superior Court of
Santa Clara County, in which the petit
toner sought to establish his right to
Bank of San Jose, now in liquidation.
The Supreme Court decided that the di-
rectors appointed by order of Judge Lor-
igan which ousted Braslan, were legally
appointed. Upon this showing the Bank
Commissioners yesterday decided to
turn over the assets of the bank to the
new directors.

OUR PETS
AND OTHER HOBBIES.

Flora, Charles and little Fred had been shut in for weeks. It was measles, whoop- ing cough and humps! Oh, such a time as they had! Mamma had tried every de- vice to entertain them, and both she and nurse were tired and at a loss what to do next. t'
 Some one called to say that Mrs. Blank would be glad to send her kid to play with mammals kids, as she was going to church, and had no one with whom to leave him. Mamma and the children were puzzled. be- cause they knew that no children-or what people so often disrespectfully called Kids. lived at Mir. and Mrs. Blanks house. They were curious till Mrs. Blank came with a sure enough kid-a baby goat. The funniest. little, tiny. baby goat you ever saw Oh the fun they had all day with the little fellow! Mamma was completely rested by this day of sunshine made by him.
 On Twentieth street, as everybody knows there is group of little folks named John, Clara, Anne and Ruth Murray. They have the finest arrangement for fun you ever saw. It is splendid new tent-house, so high and roomy that the four can play in 1t, no matter how hot the sun shines outsi side. This is fine substitute for play house, and far better during the summer.
 Charles and Willis WoOdrum nave an ideal yard for boys to play in. It Is full of those things in which boys delight. For instance, there is perfectly splendid act ing bar. upon which the boys perform many wonderful gymnastic feats. Then there is swing-and such swing! It is as high as the electric light poles. Just think how. high up they can gei Don't you wonder that none of them have killed themselves? They say it's great fun
 The tiny street car, though, is the chief attraction The car is large enough for three or four children to ride in,> and the iron wheels, which came from the foundry, are strong enough to hold a much heavier load. The boys built the car themselves, and also the wooden rail track, and enjoy taking the other young folks of their neigh borhood to ride immensely. By the way 1t Is unlike other street railway companies you can ride on this one for nothing!
 However, you must hear about the fish, ing pond that these young expert work men have made. It is modelled after the one that was illustrated in the Ladies' Home Journal last month, and is we'll exe- cuted. It promises to afford much sport to these young men and their friends

 It was nearing the noon hour and Aunt Nan was directing Rafe in the preparation of the monday meal, which she knew from experience would need to be plentiful one. for the voracious appetites of fourteen campers, nine of whom were boys, could not be gauged easily. So, notwithstanding the boys had promised to return with fish enough for dinner. she had prepared plenty of bacon and cornbread in addition to her delicious light-bread and cakes and other delicacies from home.
 She looked up from the table she was ar- ranging, which was an ingenious one man.

STORY FOR CHILDREN.
Dominique, Who Was Faithful Little
 Stepmother

Who was she? Only little hen; I knew her personally. and I'll tell the children all about her.
 She belonged to brood that was matched in September. in Uncle Joab's barn loft. She grew nicely, and when her mother thought her quite old enough to go to roost by herself she, in what manner I never knew, broke one of her wings and was nev- CT able to fly up in the tree branches or on the roasting poles with her brothers and sisters.
 Through the long, cold winter she had to sit in some corner in the hen-house by herself, and she was no doubt very lonely. When the bright spring came she joined her companions in the search for bugs and

you must hear about, which Is a veritable paradise for small people.
 Garfield Park, Chicago, has in aft one of these Elysiums. The park IS beautiful and delightful re- sort on the shore of Lake Michigan, and has many attractive features. The .'Zoo," where the animals are kept, is gen orally the first place children visit. Some never get any further, for you know little people never tire of the monkeys, elephants, lions, prairie dogs, birds, white bears and hundreds of other animals: but they miss great deal if they do not see the flowers, the carousel, the swings, the museum, and especially the place which we are to visit today. &-} 7.
 A society of Chicago has a large summer house built out into the clear blue, billowy waters of the lake. There are only few rooms; the porches and wide halls. consti- ute the house, and all about these breezy yerandas and broad, open railways there are tiny chairs, dainty white cots and in- numerabie hammocks and cradles for little babies. which nurses in white caps and aprons have made neat and clean.
 The poor mothers who live in the slums down in the heart of the city, and who work all day may bring their dear, dirty, half-fed little babies and leave them here to be cared for. If 1t were not for this charming resort many of the little creat- ures would be forced to stay in the close, hot city in some dingy room all summer with almost no attention, and some would grow thin. sicken and die. The, sick ba- bies are carried to this sanitarfum, and often in a few days are we'll again.
 Now just imagine the pretty scene. There are in the houses dozens of babies toddling about or swinging. or asleep in crib sweet, clean and so happy; and outside wading in the lake. or with spades and buckets digging in the sand. are the older babies who are we'll and strong. It is the prettiest sight in the great big, busy city.

HENRY's CARE OF MOTHER

 Twas his fathers goodbye had brought tears to his eyes, But he knew 'twould not do for boy of his size; For the baby and girls and dear mother there, too, He must be a big man and as father he'd do. Father said, as he bade him farewell last of all: You must be a good boy. though you are pretty small Take my place, and look after the house and the yard; See that things all go right, and my warn- ing regard, ''That of mother. my son, the best care you must take Do you be very watchful of all for her sake. You must keep the two sisters so busy at play, They'll be good, and will not wear her out while stay. For you know that the doctor has said 1t won't do; She needs more of the rest which Is surely her due" The dear fellow most gravely assented to ali Not thing he could stop or prevent should befall.

 Little Dominique had suffered so much herself that she was sorry for anyone. who was distressed So she called the crying orphans to her, spoke soothing words to them, such as chickens understand, and promised to be a friend and mother to them, and truly she was, for she never ceased night nor day to care for them At
