The Disappointed Boy.

I wish l had, been born a girl,
"A pretty girl, like sister is.
With hair that could keep in curl,
With hair that I could daily frizz
Coz then, when fellers came to call,
/ I'd simply have to sigh jes' SO;
And wish to 60 to some swell ball
Then sure enough I'd go.
If was born attractive, like
My sister is, an had her ways;
I would not have my pa to strike
For money to go to plays.
Coz when Teller called on me
I'd simply talk about the show,
An mention one I'd like to see
Then sure enough I'd go.
If could wear trailing dress,
Like sister does, an peek-a-boos
For candy I'd not beg, l guess
I'd always get the kind I choose
I'd make date with some nice man
Like sister does, with lots of rocks
Then meet him at the front door, an
Sure enough I'd get a box.
If I'd been born girl like SIS,
To circuses and things I'd go;
An not party would | miss,
So long as could get beau;
Then afterward I'd heave a sigh
An mention some cafe l know,
Where they keep dandy apple pie
An sure enough I'd go.
/ wish / wasn't born boy, A
Coz boys for everything must pay;
There's nobody that counts it joy
To take kid to some cafe. 81
1t makes no difference how l sigh,
An wish that I could see show;
Though twenty men were standing by
Nobody says: Let's 60"
There's no one wants to pay my fare,
An no one comes to call on me
Or asks to take me anywhere,
An there's so much I'd like to see
wish wasn't born boy,
For boys don't ever stand show;
there is so much | could enjoy,
If only was asked to go.

With me a year or two;
IT'S only fair that should play
A little while with you.
I've been a very patient bear,
And now I'm going to see
Just how you stand the treatment
that
You have been giving me.
Then Selling Teddy by the hair,
Bear through the window jumped
Dear mel how fast against his rib
The heart of Teddy thumped!
He tried his best to call aloud,
That help he might bespeak;
But not sound could utter, save
A dismal little squeak.
With skip, and hop, and leap, ant
stride,
Each longer than the last, I.
They sped along until they reached
A forest dim and vast.
And there, beneath giant tree,
Was heard the sound of joy;
And there stood twenty Teddy bears
With each a Teddy Boy.
Our Teddy's special bear stepped
forth,
And seemed to take the lead.
Begin, begin!" he growled. "You
know
How fast the night will speed.
Well have game of tenpins first,
With lots of fun and noise"
And quickly in row they stood,
That group of luckless boys.
Biff! BIN! the cocoanut balls spun by,
BY skillful Bruins cast.
Heels over heads, along the line,
These boys they toppled fast.
A merry game of football
Next added to their woe,
AS twenty whirling, dizzy lads
Bounced light from toe to toe. g.
And so the topsyturvey night
Went on until the dawn;
Till Bruin cried, Zone contest more,
And then we must be gone.
Up, up, with every Teddy Boy,
See who can toss most high!"
And hurting through the air, those
boys
Shot upward through the sky.
Our Teddy higher went than all,
And came down with whack!
And presto! as he hit the ground,
The voice he'd lost came back.
And such mighty howl he gave
Was never heard before.
Mama and nurse and Papa, too,
Came hurrying to his door.
Then Teddy opened wide his eyes
And lifted up his head,
To find himself upon the floor,
Beside his little bed.
While to the bedposts safely tied
With beady eyes astare,
And paws stretched out in helpless
wise,
There hung his Teddy Bear.
And Ted may be mistaken, but
He thought he saw him wink,
AS slowly he climbed into bed,
To rest awhile-and think!

The WOrrier.

I've had to worry about me,
Harassed by fears
And thoughts of conflagrations dire,
For many years.
For many years I've had to fret
And nothing's happened to me yet.
I've had to worry about banks
And like wise stocks
Since first admitted to the ranks
OF those with rocks.
I'm thin through worry and regret.
And nothing's happened to me vet.

Residents in the vicinity of, La guna
and Sutter streets are voicing' earnest
protest against the action of the
United Railroads in allowing its SUIT

grade from Octavia street to Webster

accidents have been narrowly averted
and not long ago little girl was run
down and killed by one of the cars
that was going so fast it could not
stop inside of $50 feet.
When they drop over the incline at
Octavfa street. with a straight DOWN
hill track to Fillmore, many of the
Sutter street motormen habitually turn
on the power and shoot forward at a
terrific speed. according to people of
that district. The cars cross Laguna
street so fast that passengers wish
ing to alight there, from most of the
cars, are obliged to give the conductor
warning two blocks away. If any
vehicle should ever try to cross the
track in front of one of these cars

tervening cross streets a smashup
would be almost certain to occur This

An attempt to throw out George
Dudley, an inebriated carpenter. from

SOLDIER OF SOUTH
CALLED BY DEATH
General Stephen D. Lee Suc-
cumbs to Illness Contracted
at G. A. R. Reception

VICkSBURG,e Miss, May 2S.-General
Stephen D.. Lee, commander in chief of
the United Confederate Veterans and
one of the last three surviving lieuten-
ant generals of the confederacy, died
here today at the official residence of
the Vicksburg national park commis-
sion, of. which he was a member by APP
pointment of the federal government
Overexertion last Thursday in the
ceremonies attending upon the reunion
here of Iowa and Wisconsin veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic
brought about General Lees illness.
Yesterday afternoon he collapsed and
grew gradually weaker until death
relieved his sufferings shortly after 8
o'clock this morning.
General Lees sister. Mrs James Har-
rison of Columbus, was at the bedside
at the time of his death. Blewitt Lee,
a son, who is general attorney of the
Illinois Central at Chicago, is en- route
for Vicksburg.
President Roosevelt. who was a great
admirer of General Lee, was among
the first to send condolences
An incident in connection with Gen
eral Lees military career not generally
known is the fact that he directed the
firing of the first shot of the civil war.
He was one of the two officers of the
South Carolina troops sent by General
Beauregard to demand the surrender of
Fort Sumter, and upon refusal of this
demand he ordered the nearest battery
to fire on the fort.
General Lee was born in South Caro-
lima in 1888 and graduated at West
Point, receiving his commission in the
artillery. At the outbreak of the civil
war General Lee resigned his COM
mission and served the confederate
army in Virginia until after the battle
of Antietam. He was then made a
brigadier general and sent to Vicks-
burg, and after the fall of that city
was taken prisoner. He was later ex-
changed and promoted to the rank of
major general and ordered to the
southwest. He was subsequently as
signed to the army of the Tennessee,
with the rank of lieutenant general,
and served until the close of hostilities
At the close Of the war General Lee
devoted himself to the education of
southern youths as president of the
Mississippi agricultural and mechanical
college.

JAPAN[SF REVERSE
OPEN DOOR POLICY
British Traveller Declares Clash
With Powers Over Discrimi-
nation Is Inevitable

SEATTLE, May 2S.-According to a
special to the Times from Vancouver,
B. c., apan has completely reversed
the open door" policy in Manchuria
except to her own people
"a clash with the powers over a
continuance of the discriminatory pol
icy now being carried out in favor of
the mikados subjects is inevitable. If
Japan is compelled to back down her
surrender will bring its advantages. The
Japanese are more curiously amused
than alarmed over the proposed visit of
the American fleet to the orient"
These are the conclusions reached by
G.. c. Druce during a recent extensive
tour through China, Japan and Korea.
Druce is former mayor of Oxford, Eng,
and secretary of the bontanical society
of Great Britain. He is also the cura-
tor of the herbarium of the University
of Oxford.
while the official classes are re-
served the Japanese people are not the
least perturbed over the dispatch of
the American battleships to the orient,
Druce continued.
"Of course. everybody in the far east
except the diplomats, associates the
demonstration of American naval
power with the Manchurian trade
question. The famous open door policy
advocated by all the white races is in
reality a nullity.
Since Japan took possession of Man.

competitors by a system of duties or
