OYER EXPULSION OF RUSSIAN
FLEET FROM FRENCH PORT.
Although 1t is Believed If Admiral
RoIestvensky Entered Kamranh
Bay to Prepare for a Dash North
ward His Purpose Was Accom-
plshed.

The announcement that in response
to Japan's representations France has
promised the expulsion of the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron from
Kamranh bay and affirmed her deter
mination to maintain neutrality is re-
ceived at Toxic with pleasure, al
though 1t is believed that II Rojest-

The foreign Office in recent state
ment says:
"The French government upon re-
ceipt of the report that the Baltic
squadron had arrived at Kamranh bay
instructed the governor general of
Indo-China to strictly enforce the
rules of French neutrality. The gov
ernor general telegraphed, replying
that he had taken the necessary meas
ure according to instructions by the
French government"
French Newspapers Criticize.
Some of the newspapers of Paris.
commenting upon the expulsion of the
Russian second Pacific squadron from
French territorial waters in Indo-
China, hold that France, in seeking
to render exact justice to Japan, has
been unjust to Russia. The Echo de
Paris, which is strongly pro-Russlan,
says that Frances inslstence upon Ro-
jestvensky's leaving Kamranh bay will
have the effect of making him an
easy pray to Togo, as the Russian
ships being driven from all points
without being able to take on coal,
must put to sea WIN half filled bunk
ers, being thus crippled at the moment
of meeting the enemy.
The Temps criticize the Saigon re-
port that Russian merchant vessels
have been forbidden to take on the
necessary coal to enable them to
reach the nearest Russian port. The
paper maintains that the ships have
the right to take on sufficient coal to
last them until they reach Vladivo-
stok, which is the nearest Russian
port.

1t wasn't parade, it wasn't the cir
Gus or the minstrels. 1t was only a
patent medicine man advertising his
wares. But to Lickety Split a band
was band. Besides, the horse felt
particularly good. She felt that she
had covered herself with glory in
bringing all this gorgeous automobile
cavalcade to the station, and she was
glad that the laborious part of the trip
was over. Her young master and his
friend were behind her in the sulky,
and behind them there was a wonder
full red car with three very fine people
in it. Lickety Splits ears trembled
joyously to the music of the blatant
medicine band. She reared up on her
hind legs gayly Her eyes rolled from
side to side, and then daintily har-
moniously, joyously, Lickety Split
danced. Never in her brightest circus
days had she danced like that before.
She danced until the platform idlers
applauded vigorously, antil Mr.. and
Mrs. Elliott broke into peal after peal
OF laughter, until the chauffeur him

feat and consented to smile.
Mr.. Elliott said that she was cele-
brating the triumph of the horse and
when Mrs. Elliott came home that
night she sent over a bag of lump
sugar and basket of apples for Lick

brought the things
"All right" said Charlie. He felt
that after all he ought to forgive the
Elliotts for having an automobile
Somehow the experience of the morn

he thought "a horse is good enough"

THE WHEELBARRoW cHURN
BY Clara A. Burgdorff-Age II Years.
Class c

One hot summer day in July as
Frank and Helen were sitting on the
beach under the big oak tree, their
mother called: Frank, wish you and
Helen would go to Farmer Brooks
for some cream
AS their mother had promised them
some Ice cream for the afternoon, both
Frank and little Helen clapped their
hands with joy.
1t was a mile to the farm. Frank
was to take his new wheelbarrow. to
wheel the jar. walk carefully" said
Mrs. Filbert' "for the jar will be full.
Come back as soon as you can."
The children set out in high glee
Frank frolicked along the road, while
Helen picked flowers by the roadside.
The earthen jar was filled with
cream. Mrs. Brooks tied the cover on.
and packed the jar in the little wheel
barrow. The children set out upon
their return. And the sun was very
warm.
Let us go through the woods" said
Frank.
DO you know the way?" asked
Helen.
II think L do. 1t isn't far!"
Though the path was rough Frank
forgot what his mother had told him.
He began to gallop, while the wheel
barrow bounced over the stones.
The path was longer than they
thought. Mrs Filbert had been look
ing for them fifteen minutes when they
reached home.
Why how warm you are!'' she
cried, as she took out the Jar. AS she
opened it she laughed and shook her
head.
''You will have to go without ice
cream today" she said.
The children began to wonder. Their
mother took a spoon, and, after a few
stirs with it, showed them fine jar
of butter.
Your wheelbarrow is good churn,
Frank" said Mrs. Filbert. "But when
you go after cream, you must mind
your mother, and walk carefully
So Franks disobedience cost the
children their ice cream that day.

The HORN oF PLENTY
BY Gladys Dick, Age 13 Years,
Class A

BY Gladys Dick, Age 10 Years,
once, many years ago, there lived in
village across the sea a widow and
her little daughter 10 years of age. The
girls name was Plenty.
When Plenty's father had been dead
about six months they had no food or
any money to buy 1t with. Plenty was
hungry and her mother was very i'll.
They owned a little cottage in the
outskirts of the town about two miles
from a deep, dark forest. They had no
fuel, but there were sticks and small
pieces of wood that could be got in the
woods to burn, but Plenty had heard
that there were wild animals and
snakes in the forest and she was very
much afraid to go.
But she said to herself that IL they
could not have food they must have a
fire If possible. So she started out and
soon got to the forest, where she began
to pick up the sticks. She took as many
as she could carry, so she thought she
would sit down in the shade of large
tree to rest.
She had been sitting quite a while,
wishing she had food and medicine for
her mother when she heard queer
noise She was so frightened that she
could hardly move The noise seemed
to come from under her feet when sud-
denly from out the ground appeared a
little dwarf about ten inches tall, drag
ging horn about a foot long behind
him.
Handing the horn to Plenty, the
dwarf said: 1.-The king of dwarfs sent
you this. When you want anything
wish for it and blow this horn and it
will appear. Before Plenty could thank
him he was gone.
Plenty took the horn home and with
good food and medicine her mother was
soon well and Plenty and her mother
lived many years, helping the poor with
the fruits of the Horn of Plenty.

''LiCkety Split"
and Automobile

~ lilly ELLIOTT'S father had an
d automobile. That was what was
making all the trouble. Mr.. FL
lott had a stable full of fine horses,
too; a beautiful little yacht and the
finest clothes along the thoroughfare,
and Billy himself had pony cart, n
wonderful dog and a. gymnasium all his
own.
But none of these things particularly
mattered. Charlie Doane, who was
Billy's best summer friend, had been
able to feel perfectly friendly toward
Billy for three summers in spite of
them.
It was an automobile that made all
the difference and threatened to break
up the friendship of three Rumson road
seasons.
For in the matter of all other kinds
of possessions the Doanes themselves
could present claims for consideration.
They had the very smallest house along
luC IlQAlioOiA AOoi, WlAASh WcAo 4iC@Al OCSI
to having the biggest one. They had a
whole string of dories and catboats,
which they let out to summer visitors.
They had an old horse called Lickety
Split, which could go accordingly when
it was going home to supper and which
had the additional advantage of having
once been in a circus. 1t danced beau
tifully now when parades were in town.
And if Mrs. Doane hadn't the best
clothes along the Rumson road she
made the best chocolate cake, anyway
which both Charlie and Billy appre-
ciated much more.
So that on the whole Charlie felt on
a perfectly independent footing with
their trunks and cases and servants and
horses appeared at their seashore home
at the beginning of the summer Charlie
ran gladly over to welcome Billy back
Its our automobile" explained
Billy IT'S the biggest one along the
Rumson road"
Charlie looked at 1t oddly. He felt
at once that this was an inequality he
could not surmount. Even the new
baby seemed entirely inadequate. He
admired the automobile very much
but he told Billy he couldn't stay long
Mrs. Elliott urged hlm to stay TO lunch
con, but Charlie said his mother
wouldn't like it. and he went away
leaving Billy both hurt and astonished
He was so much surprised at Charles
behavior that he went over to the
Doanes' early the next morning just
to see If he hadn't imagined that Char,
lie was not like his old self. Mrs
Doane and the little girls greeted hin
cheerfully, but Charlie was nowher,
to be found. He's gone grabbing
said Mrs. Doane. "He started out
early this morning. They were golnl

people. / guess" she added kindly
seeing Bllly's face fan, that he
thought you wouldn't be up. or he'd
have asked you TO go along"
During the next few days Billy found
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-20

IF you're poor and you haven't got
any automobile of your own, why, the
only square thing is to keep away from
fellows that have" reasoned Charlie.
And he conscientiously kept away.
He pulled the reins savagely over old
Lickety Split as he made this observa-
tion to himself, for he was driving the
old circus horse over to Red Bank on
an errand for his father.
1t was a pleasant morning. a very
pleasant morning. The road was quiet
and fragrant with the breath of gar
den flowers that nodded across the trim
bordered lawns. 1t was a good road;
Charlie had only a sulky, and alto
gether, even with old Lickety Split, it
wasn't as dull as it might have been.
Just for the moment there wasn't a
sound or a smell of an automobile.
Charlie looked up and down the road
carelessly. Then suddenly he sat up
straighter and craned his neck to make
quite sure whose big machine it was
that sprawled so still and lifeless
across the road just where the bend
1t seemed a very big machine. indeed.
Charlie chirped eXcitedly to his horse.
Something in the look of a pair of
sturdy legs that were coming down the
road seemed to be strangely familiar.
Yes, surely that was Billy Elliott, and
the gentleman and lady standing so
disconsolately by the side of the ma
chine were Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott, and
also without a doubt that motionless
and foolish looking vehicle, powerless
and stupid in spite of it's size and its
glitter, with it's noise silenced, it's very
smell weakened, was the biggest auto
mobile on the Rumson road.
Charley made Lickety Split kick up
the dust a little as he drew near the
party. Then he pulled on the reins and
slackened speed.
"oh Charlie!" called out Mrs. Elliott
in relieved tone.
Hello, Billy" said Charlie, shame
facedly.
1t would have been most embarrass-
ing, but just then the chauffeur, who
had been PROSTATE underneath the
vehicle. crawled out and presented a
discouraged face to his employers.
"she won't work." he gasped. "I've
got to go back and get some tools"
well, I've got to get to the sta
tion," said Mr.. Elliott.
"And I must really get that train,
too" said Mrs. Elliott "I must keep
an appointment. Can't Charlie take
us?"
"In the sulky?" asked Mr.. Elliott.
But Charlie would not hear of the
automobile being left behind. "Lickety
Split can pull it," he said.
1t was a pretty big load for the old
horse, but Charles ambition was
aroused and the horse seemed to un-
derstand. They made such good time
that even Mr.. Elliott forgot to look at
his watch after a while, and Mrs. FL
liott forgot to talk about their ap-
pointment in town. Charlie held his
head high. So did the horse. SO did
Billy. He was awfully glad that his
father and mother should see what a
fine boy Charlie was.
And then. just as they entered the
station street. and only a minute be-
fore the train drew In. there came
from around the corner a blare Of
trumpets. tattoo OF drums.

STORY OF A WAIF
BY Pearl Carter, Age IL Years
Class c

once upon time a lonely little waif
was wondering through the woods try
ing to find some berries to eat for he
had had no supper. He became lost
and as 1t was dark he lay down to
sleep and thought he would wait till
morning before trying to get out of the
woods.
The boy must have slept about an
hour when a slight stir in the under
brush awoke him. Then he heard a
groan and standing up and peering
through the trees he saw what at first
frightened him and then excited his
pity, for it was a bear which had been
hurt. He walked up to the animal and
spoke kindly, and just as If 1t knew
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-20

out that the seashore was a very diff
ferent place without Charlie Doane to
go around with. There were girls in
the next house and little boy in the
house on the other side and a very big
boy across the road. And there were a
whole lot of boys about his own age at
the hotels. But they couldn't do the
things that Charlie Doane did.
The fact of the matter was that
Charlie Doane loved automobiles. He
loved any kind of machinery and any
kind of noise, and he meant to be a
locomotive engineer when he grew up.
But he knew that it wasn't customary
for many private persons to own loco
motives. so he was content to wait
until manhood to have one of his own.
A very great many persons, however,
did own automobiles. A whole string
of them passed the Doane house every
day, and on Saturday and Sunday there
were so many that they had to drive
Lickety Split around the back way.
The automobiles were the nearest
imagine private persons possessing. He
gloried in their noise He knew the
speed record of every car on the road,
and he spent all the time that he could
spare at the motor barn examining the
different machines and gathering in
formation from their drivers. He had
felt the same interest in them the year
before, and had even gone so far as
to present to his father a calculation
showing that if they could sell the
dories and sailboats and their own
home and Charles grandmother's
house, they could probably raise enough
money to buy small motor car.
Hum" said his father; chow about
want the horse any more if you have
an auto"
But Charlie had hesitated. "She
wouldn't bring much" he said, whereat
his father had laughed heartily, for
everybody knew that Charlie loved
automobiles.
But when Billy had come down and
the Elliotts, with all their wealth, had
been without an automobile Charlie
had felt that after all there were other
things in life. So he had forgotten all
about his pet craze for the time and
had spent a glorious summer with
Billy in the woods and on the beach,
fishing, camping and driving old
Lickety Split over the pleasant coun-
try roads.
In the following spring, however,
when the first warm days brought the
motor cars in long procession past the
Doane door. Charles old interest in
them revived. After school and on
Saturday afternoons he loitered around
the motor barn again. The machines
were bigger and lovelier than ever
and more noisy. Charlie enjoyed the
very smell of the gasoline, such was
his infatuation.
And now here 1t was summer again
and here was Billy Elliott down from
the city. riding in his fathers automo-
bile every day and at liberty to inves-
tigate the workings Of the biggest auto
mobile along the Rumson road just as
often as he wished
II was too much for Charlie TO stand
gracefully. He wanted to be In ana Of
that automobile so much that he felt
the only independent thing to do was
to go away and not see Billy or the
Elliotts or the automobile ever again.
