I will tell you something about the
terrible things that happened in the
war between the French and English
in North America. The French were
very cruel, and one day a Frenchman
named Lapon came to the property of
Steve Mainwaring and put up a sign
saying that the country now belonged
to King Louis XIV Of France. But
Steve tore it off and threw it into the
water. Just then Hunting Jim came
out Of the brush and made them drop
their weapons and go.
The trappers killed a good many In
di1ns, but it would take a long time
to relate 1t, so I will tell some Of my
life
One day as I was standing peace
fully in the forest, when all the terri
BILE things happened to me that I told
you of at first.
I felt very sad when I came to the
school room, but in a few days found
a desk that had lived in the same for
est that 1 lived in. I was then very
happy, but one day, to my despair, it
was broken and the teacher threw it
into the woodshed, as she said it was
built very poorly and would be of no
use. After that I was very sad until
you came.
Just then larry heard a loud voice
calling, MARY! Maryi Wake up; it's
time to go home" Mary, very bewil-
dered, walked out of the school

DOL, B8 grade.
A buffalo bull and his herd were
grazing in my shade for many days,
when a stranger came along one day.
The stranger wanted to be the leader,
and so they had a violent fight to see
who would be the master. The stranger
conquered at first, but after few days
when he was off his guard and was
resting the old one slipped UP on him
and gored him in the side before he
had time to get UP and defend himself.
The herd was glad. The old bull had

taken to a church, but there was no
room for them there, so they were
taken to- the chapel.
ooh, said Mary, tell me something
that is not SO scary."
well, then, I will tell you about the
wild animals that used to be there.
There were deers and bears; they fur
nished meat for the early settlers. But
1 will have to stop here, as next week
is examination week, and you must get
to work and study
VERA MURPHY,
Long Beach, r. F. D. No. 2, box 25A.
One spring day two hunters came
along and, being tired, sat down under
my branches. AS soon as I looked at
them | mfstrusted the tall, dark one,
while the smaller one liked, and saw
he was a jolly, trusting fellow, who,
being good and kind-hearted himself
thought every one else was so.
He was telling the dark man about
netting he had read in the paper,
and opened his pocketbook to get the
clipping AS he did So / saw the dark
n look wicked, and I trembled for
the other. He had lot of money in
his pocketbook and the dark man had
seen it ana made up his mind to
lave it.
Without a moments warning he got
up and struck the small man on the
head with his gun. thought the poor
fellow was killed, but he was only
stunned, and when he got on his feet
he looked as fierce and full of fight
as the wicked man who struck him.
Their a fierce battle followed. Finally
the wicked man, being the biggest, got
the best of the little fellow and took
his pocketbook away from him. and
was about to rob him when 1 threw
down one of my branches on his head
so hard that it knocked him down and
made him unconscious.
He lay there for long time. and
the small man came to first and saw
what the wicked man had done. He

been their master for long time, and
they were very glad that he was
victor after all the violent fighting.
After he had beaten, he went with the
herd, and they stayed in my shade
about two weeks after the fight.
While in nv shade one in the herd
asked the conqueror what the other one
had said at the first of the battle He
replied HE said, I am bound to have
your place." 'EAnd what did Won
say?'' Il said: Wen see who will have
the herd.'''
and you had the place, didn't you,
master?" said the herd all together.
Yes" replied the conqueror, "and I
thought many times while fighting that
| would yet be conqueror, and that I
had not yet got too old to be master Of
a herd"
That is all I have time to tell you,
Mary, and hope you will study better
after this than you did today.

RUSSIANS IN ALASKA

The Russians have left more impress
upon Alaska than might have been ex-
pected, considering how few of them
ever actually settled in the country;
they had hard time with the Indians
and their first settlement on Baranoff

age neighbors; but they founded Sitka
nearly century and a half ago and
Wrangell and other little towns farther

Islands Chicagoff, Kupreanoff, Mitkoff

And 1 have dragged out every bed
And looked around behind it.

Or hunts right with me by my side,
Is there a place we haven't tried?

Is possible there is a nook

Well, here goes for another look,
I swear I'd like to it!
Say. have you read the piggy book?
II you've a babe and you have took
Her your knee and watched the look
With which she sat and eyed you.
When you'd the piggy book to read
To her, know then that 1 need
Not tell you why I hunt it, she'd
Have told you there beside you.
So here goes for another search
In every place where 1t could perch,
An upward climb, a downward lurch,
In every nook and Granny;

without that book. I wouldn't keep

And with his fate did quarrel,

school, grade B5.
One day long, long ago. I do not
know how long ago it was, 1 Spied a
big white bird coming toward me.
In about one hour l found out 1t was
a ship filed with men and women.
They came to shore, and after they
had prayed and eaten their dinner they
started to cut down my friends, but as
| was young they let me live in my old
home. Ny friends were made into
houses.
The Indians were good to the Pill
grims and told when and how to plant
the corn which they gave them.
But the Pilgrims were selfish and
made the Indians give up their land,
and if they didn't they were shot. So,
as any one would, the Indians grew to
hate the white men, and whenever they
got a chance they would kill the people.
This went on for about 100 years.
All this time the people were getting
mad at England because they taxed
them so hard.
So the people got a man named
George Washington to be general of
the army to fight England.
At last the war was over and Wash
ington was made president.
Just then the teacher shook her, and
Mary awoke with such a start she
spilled her ink.

SPECIFY CHARGES
AGAINST HARPER
Petitions Give Five Grounds for
Recall of the Mayor of
Los Angeles
MI GAe17zE..
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22.-Petitions
asking the city council to call an cleo
ton, that the voters may choose a
successor to Mayor Harper were issued
tonight by the Municipal league, which
has in charge the recall of the mayor.
These petitions will be put in circula-
ton Immediately, and when signed by
5000 voters they make it mandatory
on the council to call a special election.
The petitions make the following
charges against the mayor:
"First-That he has,. during two
years of administration, shown himself
to be incompetent and unfit for the
position he occupies.
Second-That he has frequently
abused his appointive power by select
ing, for personal and political reasons
men utterly unfit for the offices to
which they were appointed
Third-That the mayor and his po-
lice commissioners have been active
promoters and are large holders in en-
terprises whose stock has been sys-
tematically marketed among the people
and interests which that commission
is bound to regulate and control
Fourth-That the result of this has
been failure to enforce the laws
Fifth-That the continuance In office
of Mayor Harper is a menace to the
great business enterprises upon which
the city is engaged.
Walter Parker, the local Southern
Pacific political boss, has returned hur-
riedly from Sacramento. presumably to
aid the mayors fight against the recall.

port and to China and other foreign
countries and to publish proportionate
rates to the seaport town.
L am with you in any plan which
you may devise to help you out of your
difficulty in the matter of shipping,
the railroad company and the steam,
ship company to make a combined
rate. In the matter of foreign bot
toms we must find some way by which
American ships can run from American
ports. YOU people are not any worse
off than they are on the Atlantic
coast"
Captain William Matson and Captain
John Barneson spoke briefly on the
marine, and Lane sided with them In
their arguments, but said that he could
not commit himself to any idea for the
betterment of conditions.
The matter of the recent raise in
transcontinental freight rates, which
has been worrying the merchants OF
the Pacific coast and the United States
for two months, was taken up by Lane
with the statement that the interstate
commerce commission should have more
power than it now enjoys.
Power. by which an increased rate
can not go into effect until after its
reasonabIeness has been considered by
the members of the commission, is
needed" he said. I'VE feel that the rail-
roads are entitled to a reasonable rate.
but we believe that the shippers are also
entitled to some consideration. The
genius OF Hartman has extended his
power to many of the large eastern
railroads. The problem Of regulation.
so far as Mr.. Hartman is concerned, Is
different from what it was four or FIVE
years ago, so you see that with the
growth of the roads and their power
the problem grows"
At the conclusion of Lanes remarks
the members of the chamber crowded
around him to shake his hand. c. III.
Bentley made appropriate remarks in
which he voiced the sentiment of the
members, thanking Lane for his cour-
tesy in visiting the chamber and ad-
dressing the members.
James McNab, the newly elected
president of the chamber presided at
the reception and with the assistance
of Vice President Gerstle made the af-
fair one of the first successes of the

SAYS WOMAN SUFFRAGE
HAS HARMED FOUR STATES
Frederick Wood Asserts Femi-
ninity Is Easily Influenced

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-''Woman suf-
frage has done more harm than good
in the four states in which it has been
tried-Idaho, Colorado, Utah and Wyo-
ming" declared Frederick Wood In an
address before the national league. for
the civic education of women here to-
night.
He read letter from General w. ].
Palmer of Colorado in which the latter
declared that woman suffrage has been
a failure in that state.
Based upon my personal observation
of the workings of equal suffrage In
the four states where 1T exists" said
Wood, Its results indicate the ability
of the corrupt political machine to
influence the female vote rather than
any ability on the part of the women
to purify politics.
