the rich are deeper and more numerous.

The policeman stationed at the camp is
a great favorite among the children. They
all get to know him and he often takes
the favored ones for rides on his horse.
Then too, there is Maud, an old donkey
that is usually roaming about the hills,
but can sometimes be persuaded to carry
load of children around on her broad
back. When they get time from these
diversions there are always games of

Then they go to the big recreation tent
and. with all the lights out except the
lanterns. they sing and have vaudeville
shows until 1t is time to go to bed. Back
of them the mothers sit rocking and nurs-
ing their babies and now and then join

to choose a song and they usually choose
one of the popular songs that they have
heard around the streets. The only ones
they know are songs of the street. and to
hear their childish voices singing I'm
