lean child-like that of the child of most
any other land. If the japanese child is
taught early to hide emotions, it is not
taught to check the love of fun and games
which is part Of healthy childhood every
where.
The funniest thing of all is the Japanese
child's birthday. No matter when you hap
pen to be born in japan, your birthday
falls on May 5 IL you are a boy, and on
March IL you are a girl The national
boys birthday is great holiday The
birthday of every future warrior and
statesman is celebrated at the same time.
Every proud father runs up on a tall pole
in front Of his house a huge fish kite for
each of his boys. Race suicide is not
prevalent in Japan March g. the birthday
OF all the girls. is of much less signih-
canoe The Jap daughter occasions far
less family pride than the Jap son. Each
girl gets some modest little dolls.
The brown boys and girls are fond OF
gathering under the cherry trees, for which
their land is famous, and playing a game
of blind mans bun so nearly like the
American kind that the youthful visitor
from the United States catches on in
stantly and wants to play, too. The boys
do not play with the girls at school. They
can be seen off in a corner of the yard,
where they are doing some very stiff cal
istheuics, which helps them to make good
soldiers.
In the fox and loop game, the girl with
the japanese guitar plays a short air and
when she reaches the end of It the two
girls holding the long silk sash pull hard
and close the loop. Maybe the other girl
has been able to reach through and get
the cup on the floor, but If she is not MIN
BILE she finds the loop suddenly tighten
about her wrist and she is a prisoner. The
card game is long one and 800 cards are
used in playing It, In the game of rise

rises first on one side and then on the
other side of the hands which touch above

Tourists and One-LunRerr.

Senator Clark's road is adding to Salt
Lake City's popularity as a tourist center
and the citizens here are advertising II for
all It is worth through their association,
whose motto is, "See America First" This
is now the short cut to southern California
and travellers to that region can save about
two days on the railroad by going this
way. As a result most Of them stop pr and
many stay. The altitude here is about
eight times that of the top of the Wash
ington monument, and the ozone from the
Rockies Is such that the people breathe
champagne. 1 know. Of a number Of eastern
business men who are now living here be-
cause they cannot stand our moist. cold
winters. This air is dry and braclng and
is excellent for one-lungers and other con-
sumptives. The most OF the citizens are
decidedly healthy looking. Their cheeks
are rosy, their movements brisk and no one
would believe that many Of them came
here to die and that not few have but
a single lung in their bodies. This is true
OF Colorado, and It is especially true OF
southern California. Indeed, the far west
has about the only out-of-door climate that
one can use the year around.
Los Angeles, for instance, thrives upon
climate. 1t has increased about 1000 per
cent In population since 1880, and it dou-
bled between the years 1900 and 1906. The
citizens are now claiming 100000, and
they expect TO have a half million by 1910.
The enormous fortunes which have been
produced within the past few years are
driving tho rich and well-to-do to the most
comfortable spots, and Salt Lake CITY,
Los Angeles, Portland and other such
cities are all getting their share.
Los Angeles has large number of mil
iionaires and its bank clearings range be-
tween $500. 200, 900 and $500, OOO. 900 year.
Its population is made up almost entirely
of eastern men, and q recent census
showed that only 10 per cent of the peo-
pie were natives. There are almost as
many people in Los Angeles from Ohio
and Illinois as from California The city
has 5000 voters who came from Pennsyl-
vania. 1000 who originated from Iowa and
more than 1000 made up of emigrants
from Missouri. A somewhat similar pro-
portion prevails as to the residents of Salt
Lake City.

prudence didn't say anything; but she
looked rather sorrowful when Bessie went
away, for she didn't like to stay alone.
She had a nap on the piazza, and then
she thought she would just take a walk
across the next lot and see that birds
nest in the grass-the one that Bessie had
not let her touch. Maybe there were little
birds there now!
She had gone only a few yards beyond
the gate when she heard yelp, and she
had just time to dash frantically up a tree
before there were three dogs almost upon
her.
How they did bark and caper! She
climbed higher and higher, frightened and
trembling.
After while they went away, but Pru-
dence did not dare to come down for fear
they would return. Oh, how she wished
she had minded Bessie. She crouched
among the branches until she saw the
family drive into the yard. Then she
called and called. For a while nobody
heard her. andit was growing dusky. And
oh. how hungry she was.
Finally she called in such trouble that
the cries reached Bessie's ears, and in a
few minutes she was cuddIing close in the
little girls arms
Poor Prudence" said Bessie. did the
dogs chase yau again? All, you should

receipts therefrom will, It is calculated,
bring in something like 4 per cent on the
total investment. The undertaking of a
scheme like this gives one some idea of
the Los Angeles spirit. The people Of that
city are among the best boomers of the
west. Everyone is interested in the growth
of his town and is willing TO spend time
and money to help IT. Los Angeles has a

SohAOVuy u u baDys .
I'm a little baby boy,
Only came one month ago
To this world OF doubtful joy.
fllled with strange things ] don't kno
But / think I'll stay a while
Nothing seems so very bad
Everyone gives me a smile,
And they say 1 look like dad.
Daddy's eyes are very blue,
Mine are just as blue tits said:
Daddys hairs are very few
= On the front part of his head
30 are mine, as scarce as can be
,, 6ut Tor that OF course, I'm glad.
II I'm going to look like dad?
Mother wanted me with curls.
But that wasn't in the plan,
Curls are only made for girls
And | want to be a man
Just Ike daddy-big and strong.
SO from him pattern took,
Since like daddy now l look.
Pink and white is daddy's skin,
Mine is pinker whittier, too,
And the dimple in his chin
Wen, I've got one right in view;
Then, like him, I'm always good,
Never cross and never bad
Sleep and smile, as babies should,
Just because I'm so like dad.
Ny dear daddy says each day,
"Prettiest boy on earth is he"
Funny thing for him to say,
Not polite, it seems to me;
Now, when mamma says IL DER,
l don't mind-it makes me glad,
For l think she loves me more,
Just because 1 look like dad.
Daddy loves her, so do I,
And she calls us each "her boy"
He and l will always try
Just to give her sweetest JOY;
Oh. what chums we three will be,
Always happy, never sad,
Then i guess Wen all agree
That it's nice to be like dad.
