quires Addition to Outlet

OAKLAND, Oct. 20.-Two hundred
feet must be added to the outlet
sewer at the foot of Twenty second
avenue, owing to the change made
by the war department last May in
the bulkhead line in the East Oak

well under a contract with the city
whereby he was paid a certain rate
for each foot of the sewer. He laid
the concrete pipe to the bulkhead
line as it then was.
The required addition to the sewer
became known this morning at the
board of public works meeting and
Elwell was authorized to lay the ad-
ditional 200 feet of pipe at the con-
tract<rate.
The permanent sewering into the
basin is being completed by the city
now so that the future harbor i'm
provements may not be delayed for
the construction of outlets.

Finds Very Queer Doll

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day as | did not have anything
to do / went up with grandma into the
garret. AS she was looking over her
things she found an old purse that my
great-grandfather had bought in
France for my ygreat-grandmother. The
purse was made of beads. The beads
were smaller than a pin head The in
side of the purse was as soft as silk.
The purse was over a hundred years
old 1t was blue and white. The clasp
was gold, 1t was about four inches
long and two inches wide. There was
another thing that interested me. 1t
was an old doll, with real hair, and
the doll itself was made by hand and
was made of rags. The rags were
twisted on an old spinning wheel. The
fingers were so carefully made that they
looked like real fingers. The dress was
made by hand. This doll was over 100
years old. My great-great-gr -grandmoth-
er gave it to my great grandmother.

How Traddles Grew

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In the old times of 1871 all the houses
that were made in California were made
with garrets. To my estimation a gar
ret is place where all the old bat
tered and worn out things are put.
During the time of the war my grand
mother put ALI the old war souvenirs in
large cabinet. One day when my sis
ter and l were playing up there we
noticed cabinet. 1t had an old-fash-
1oned lock on it, and we were curious
to know what was in it. We pulled and
tugged away at it until we were tired.
1t was the seventh time we had put the
key in the keyhole. and that time we
were successful. We found in it all the
old war relics of 1861. We found the
pants and coat but could not find the
hat. We hunted until we found it, We
took the trousers and coat and made
dummy and dressed it up as a man.
We took the dummy down stairs. We
named him ~Traddles, and from that
time on we played with him every aft
ternoon. MAMIE PATTON.

chests. She will open the one chest
and we will see nothing but tissue
paper. She unfolds the tissue paper
and we find out that it contains her
wedding dress.
Next we look in a corner where
stands large clock. We go up to it
and begin to ask questions. This is
grandpapa's mothers clock, says
grandma to the children.
Come, now and see what is in this
bureau. This is a bureau that grand
mammals mother had when she was
little girl" AS grandma pulls out
the drawer we all look to see what is
in it. We spy a cane of grandpa's and
some other valuable things of his.
After examining all the trinkets we
ask what is nailed up in the box. We
soon find out that it is a box with
some story books and business papers.
Now, as we have heard all the
stories of each and everything, grand
ma says, "Come, now, and go down
stairs and some other day we will
come again." LENA BELL.

Queer Old Chest

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day when l was down at my
grandmother's house / asked her if l
could go up into the garret She hesi-
tated for a while, because she knew
that there were some things up there
that she thought were very valuable.
But at last she said, yes, you may go
up to the garret for about three hours"
SO L went up and the first thing that
l thought was very interesting was a
chest that was made of some kind of
roots. 1t was carved all around the
corners and painted a dark reddish
brown color. 1t was locked, so / went
down stairs and asked her if she would
give me the key to open it. She gave
it to me, but said l should not get it
upset.
The chest contained a lot of old
books that were about 100 years old.
Some were of the war and some of the
old authors.
There was one that / thought was
the best. 1t was about an old lady
who was very sick. A very kind gem
tleman came to see her and sent doc
tor to see what was the matter, The
doctor came and gave her some medi-
cine and she got better Then l stayed
a little while longer, but soon 1 heard
grandma calling me, so | locked the
chest and started down the stairs She
said that it was getting dark and was
going to rain. So had to go home.

II years old. 1t had little tucks about
an eighth of an inch wide, from the
belt to the ruffle She made it all by
hand and the stitches were small On
the bottom was a ruffle of hand made
crocheted lace about four inches wide
and of a very pretty design Some
thing else which interested me was
grandma's doll 1t was about twenty
four inches tall Her hair and clothes
were much mussed from so many years
OF use. Her dress was made. of very
pretty piece of pink material with lace
all over which grandma made herself.

for l thought he had found treasure.
Imagine my surprise when l burst
into the attic. There he stood in an old
suit of armor which belonged to one
of my ancestors who lived in the
days when knights were bold. I was
scared at first when l saw it move, but
my fears were soon dispelled when
Ralph lifted the helmet and showed his
face.
We at once started to hunt for
things. / found an old dress of my
great great great grandmother when
she was a little girl. l called my sis
ter She slipped the dress on and
wanted to play house, of course.
We consented. We hunted up all the
old trinkets, cooking utensils and suits
we could find. We boys played that we
were knights and Alice was a lady.
Ralph found a spear. He put on the
helmet to his armor. l found a cross
bow and a. Scotch Highlander's suit
We set out to go hunting.
We Went downstairs into the parlor
where there was some company. AS
soon as mamma had found out who
we were in came Alice in her old
fashioned dress and she said, I'm
hunting for that knight of mine" We
all laughed and went upstairs to get
ready for dinner. Grandma said that
we could have everything that we
wanted out of the garret.

Valuable German Trophies

Dear Aunt Lurie.-
When I go to grandmother house
I always like to go into the garret and
look at all the pretty and curious arti-
cles.
1 went to grandmother's last week
and played in the garret all day long.
/ noticed something 1 had not noticed
before. 1t was a very beautiful hand
painted picture. My grandmother is
German and this was picture from
Germany. 1t had no glass on it and
a plain wood frame, but the picture
was handsomely painted.
1t was a view of a snow-capped
mountain and little town at the foot
In the distance was a large church
which was very pretty. Near the foot
of the mountain were little shrubs and
trees.
There was a chest in the garret
which contained all kinds of garments
such as dresses, handmade crocheted
tides and many other curious articles
One dress which l liked most was a
hooped skirt dress which L always
played lady IN.
One article which l noticed most of
all was an underskirt which my grand
