MY bounty is as boundless as the sea
I'M MY low, love as deep; the more ! give to Thee
In art and literature the little child is
made the representative of innocence for
obvious reasons. The Danish queen who
wrote, "Oh keep me innocent, make others
great" voiced what is today the wish Of
many thoughtful parents with respect to
the future Of their children as 1t we'll
might be the wish OF thoughtful men with
respect to the future Of their race. Men
I)f the past who were controlled by vanity
Where they were not moved by greed, strug
Sled under the embarra ssments and handi-
caps Of those who would be great" let
The men OF the future be touched with the
iatisfyng qualities OF innocence and find
that contentment awaiting those who are
willing to seek It along the simple lines
where love will lead the way.
For my own children / breathe this
christmas prayer:
Give them knowledge; but hold them true.
Ripen their intellect; but keep their hearts
young.
! Lead them TO the heights where by
learning much from their teachers men
may give much 10 their fellows, but let
them retain TO the end a practical trust IN
the tenderness Of men and a simple faith
in the goodness and the allness Of God.
Let them BE- kind TO every creauure-tC
every man grown weary, TO every woman
grown faint, TO every child made home,
less, TO every bird In the air and 10 every
beast in the held-hnding in all thing,
something 20 command their concern, ant
in all beings something 10 stir their afec
tons
Keep Christmas within their hearts worl
day and play day alike, making each one
feel, during all the Journey through life
that:
Whatever mine ears can hear,
Whatever mine eyes can see,
In nature so bright with beauty and light
Has a message Of love for me.

Barty Hilliard, who forty odd years ago
lived in small town in northern Vermont,
was noted for his careless vagabond habits,
ready wit and remarkable facility for eX-
tempore rhyming. While he was sitting
one day in the village store Of what is
now a part Of Montpelier, among a group
OF idlers, the genial merchant asked him
why he wore such a shocking bad hat.
Barty replied that he could not afford q
better one.
Come now" said the merchant. make
me a rhyme on a bad hat and 1 will give
you the best / have in my store" In
stantly Barty threw the old one on the
floor and began:
Here lies my old hat,
And pray what, Of that?
It's as good as the rest Of my raimenti
If l buy me a better
You'll make me your debtor
And send me to jail for the payment
The new hat was voted to be fairly won,
and Barty bore it of I'm triumph, saying;
IT'S a poor head that can't take care OF
itself. Boston Herald.

A Tramp's Trick.

A tramp went into a bakers shop a short
time ago. The weather was warm, yet he
shivered and trembled. "A loaf Of bread

sxpence on the counter and keeping his
hand dangerously near il. The girl lifted
the loaf from the shelf. wrapped 1t in pa

"Why, are you ill?" queried the girl, COM
passionately. Il believe l am. They have

and 1 must be getting It," Get out OF
this place!" shrieked the frightened girl.
How dare you come in here? Here take
your dirty money!" "All right, mum"

Alonzon the Brave was the name of the
knight
The maiden's the Fair Imogene.
The manly lad with the first touch of
down on his lip knows what love is when,
turning to the sweetheart of his youth,
he says:
IL you become a nun, dear,
The bishop Love will be;
The cupids every one, dear
VIII chant I'VE trust In thee"
One poet tells us love is madness, love
is Sadness" another that it is "the sweet
est JOY the widest woe" One grown
crusty in bachelorhood calls it "a delusion
and snare" and a hopeless one declares
love Is the tyrant of the heart it darkens
reason, confounds discretion; deaf to coun-
sci. It runs a headlang course to desperate
madness"
But the biliousness Of the poets and the
oynicism of the Respondent cannot affect
the views Of the man who has walked by
loves side; walked by loves side when he
gathered the myrtle with Mary; walked
by loves side when he led TO the altar
the girl Of his choice; walked by loves
side at the cradle Of the first born to that
holy union walked by loves side-and held
within his own trembling grasp loves firm
hand-by the little grave in which was
centered that common interest which binds
two hearts closer than any marriage vow
yet spoken by a priest
We know that when the maid and the lad
the mother and the father, and the friend
have spoken they have told us Of love-and
that that is love indeed! But all these
are but representative Of the real thing
the out-cTopping in particular individuals
Of that which was to ahect all individuals

which was to dominate in all quarters tn,

wounds and hips also wrenched; James
David hunter of San Rafael. wounds
about the head and hands, severely
cut.
The collision took place at Alexander
station, on the electric road about six
miles below this city, and was caused
by one of the motormen taking a car
which was on the switch at this point
for one he was instructed to pass there.
Car No. 6 left Vallejo at 11:10 a. M,
under the direction of Conductor W. J.
Mayfield and with c. S. Haskins as
motorman, while car No. s left at 1870
a. m. from Napa. with Conductor T. T.
Clough and Motorman Jack Berry.
The crews of both of the cars had
been given instructions to wait at
Alexander station and when nearing

Instantly killed by revolver in the

Gambling Palaces Flourish in
Midst Of Responsibility.
Police Plead That They Are Unable to Secure
Evidence Against Notorious Operators.

While the police will not dispute that
vice is running rampant in the Western
Addition and In Richmond, there is less
frankness displayed in discussing the
gambling evil. The exodus of painted
women from the old tenderloin was
followed by the pale faced, shifty- eyed
creatures who prey upon the commun-
ity with equal persistence.
When the night life Of the metropolis
was resumed no time was lost in find
ing comfortable quarters in which the
old sure thing game could be played
without the danger of police inter
ference. By the time the order of
the Board of Supervisors was passed,
permitting the saloons to reopen, a
dozen or more crap games, black jack
games and other devices of the same
character were in operation. Some of
these the police have succeeded in clos
ing, but there are many more still reap
ing a harvest.
No part of the unburned section OF
the city is free from the encroachment
of this class. They have established
themselves among the homes of the
Mission, in the Potrero, in the Western
Addition, on North Beach, in Richmond
and the Ocean Beach. At first the
police were too much occupied with
more serious affairs to give them at
tention, but now that the advance of
the vicious has become serious mem
ace to the future of the city, less free
dom is allowed them

CENTER AT FILLMORE.

Nevertheless these resorts are run
ming openly enough to give alarm.
Citizens having at interest the welfare
of their sons are perturbed at the
f1agrant way in which temptation is
held before them. Fillmore street has
become center for these disreputable
places. At the corner of Fillmore and
Sutter streets, in a building which is
rented to professional men, one of the
largest of these gambling hells is in
nightly operation.
Twice before The Call has directed
the attention of the police to this place
in the hope that it would be closed.
An effort has been made to capture
men at play, but SO far without sue
cess. Three nights ago The Call sent
a man to watch the progress of the
games. He had no difficulty in passing
the lookout" at the door.
Inside the scene left no, doubt as to

Three games were in progress In the
larger room crap table with two
croupiers in attendance was reaping a
harvest of gold and silver. In another
room a blackjack game, a sort of an
Americanized version of the French
game, 'vingt-et-un," was holding a.
crowd of devotees, while in still an
other room a few were engaged in
playing seven-up. All these games
are percentage games and are pro-
hibited by section $50 of the Penal
Code.
