DAGUERROTYPE RECALLS SON
Wanderer Finds Forgotten Picture of
Mother and Returns Home
(First Prize)
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
n HERE was great noise in the curio
box, for an old friend had come
II back. 1t was an old daguerreo-
type who had been gone for five years.
"Where have you been all this timer"
asked an old ring.
"WeH," began the picture, "I am
about twenty-five years of age and am
priced very highly. About five years
ago, when the young man who owns
me ran away, he took me with him.
One day when he was far from home
and was very hungry, having no
money, he sold me to a man in
pawnshop for dollar.
"And did you have a nice homer"
asked an old rusty penny.
First was placed in a showcase. I
stayed there for four years, then was
put in window, but was among
strangers and very dissatisfied.
"How long did you stay in the
shop?" asked the ring.
I stayed for four years and half
One day when / was feeling very blue
I became interested in a man who
was looking at me. I soon recognized
him as the same person who had sold
me. He stood for moment thinking
of those far away and wondered II
they wished to see him. He went in
the shop and bought me. When he
got outside he raised me to his lips
and kissed me, for I am a picture of
his mother.
"What happened next?" asked the
penny. "He came home. Now there is
great rejoicing, for they thought he
was dead.
"He returned to me to his treasure
box, for he says 1 am the cause of his
home coming" Your niece.

come and children are such awful lit
tie wrigglers. Don't you think so?"
she asked of the chair next her.
"Well, l don't know" was the re-
ply. You see I'm awfully fond of
children. They're so cute, especially
the ones who sit here in the boxes.
There was a dear little thing who sat
on me this afternoon and l felt quite
honored to have such a sweet child
near me. But, really, what / hate,
are these ladies who come in the even

1t actually sickens me-"
"Humph! I admire your taste" the
first speaker remarked sarcastically,

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IT DELIGHT to write for the Herald
Junior. / do not get discouraged
Il when I fail to win prize. I only
try again. think that is the best way.
Mary sent a Herald Junior to friend
of hers in the east when her mother
sent a letter to a friend. So the con-
versation is between the Herald Junior
and the letter.
The Herald Junior said: 1--WE have
half an hour before the mail carrier
comes, for little talk"
Said the letter to the paper: IT am
an invitation to a nice party"
"I am going to travel a long way to
be read by a nice little girl, who Is a
friend of one of Aunt Lauries little
nieces,'' said the Herald Junior to the
letter.

where the gardener chopped me up
for kindling wood.

The Opera Chairs Speak
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
It was just after the matinee one Sat-
urday afternoon and the audience was
filing out. The chairs in the opera box
nearest the stage were crowded togeth-

"Oh, dear" said one chair to her
nearest neighbor, 'I do hate these hor-

GERMAN-AMERICAN
LEAGUE CONVENES
275 DELEGATES MEET AT SAN
FRANCISCO
Session Adjourns with Ball and Con-
cert-san Jose Is Selected for
Next Meeting PIace-Urge
Political Interest

OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 26.-Two hun
dred and seventy-five delegates, repre-
senting all districts of the state, were
present today at the sixth annual con-
vention of the German American league
of California here.
The convention closed tonight with
ball and concert, after having chosen
San Jose for the next meeting place.
After a discussion of the needs of a
German house in San Francisco, for
which $4,000 already has been sub
scribed, the convention voted to re-
quest all German societies in the state
TO subscribe to the fund.
The building will cost 100000.
The appeal of the National German
American teachers seminary of Mil
waukee for 100000, to be used in the
furtherance of its work, was indorsed.
A resolution was adopted favoring
the expression of more interest in poll
tics among German Americans.
The following officers were elected:
President, John Herman of San Fran
cisco, first vice president. Albin Putz-
ker, Berkeley; district vice presidents,
C. j. Rohde, Los Angeles; Carl A. Lei
pelt, Stockton; E. Kuemmer, Peta-
luna; Max Elwert, Lodi; S. e. Hagen,
San Jose; D. Gruettner, Vallejo; Chas.
Schmitt, Sacramento; Carl Mueller,

tary; Julius r. Hans, San Francisco,
treasurer

domestic affairs of half a dozen persons
are tangled up, and Strengthened out,
in a way presumably satisfactory to
the French author. The rest is situa-
tions rather crudely hacked out and
coarse double entendres.
To a certain order of mind it is
doubtless diverting. But to healthy
men and women the pre-eminently
shocking thing about it all is the
shocking waste of time. If this is the
sort of play after New York's own
heart New York should certainly be
allowed to monopolize it.
The Belasco company will give to-
night the first stock performance on
any stage of David Belasco's 'Du Bar
ry." "Du Barry" has been played To-
cally on two occasions by Mrs. Leslie
Carter. In addition to the regular Be-
lasco force trere will be a small l-sized
army of $50 auxiliary players. Notable
effects are promised in the fete scene
that opens the fourth act and in the
last act, depicting street scene in
Paris just after the Revolution while
the former favorite of King Louis XIV
is dragged through a mob of bowling
citizens of the republic on the way to
the guillotine.
The costuming and scenic investure
are said to be in faithful reproduction
of those originally used at the Belasco
theater in New York.
That's Magrane will have the distinc-
tion of being the only actress in this
country with the exception of Mrs
Leslie Carter and Florence Roberts to
play Du Barry. Lewis S. Stone will be
seen in the role of Cosse Brissac,
originally played in this country by
Hamilton Revelle, the we'll known
l. IL ,,-sJI
have the trying part of Louis XIV, in
which Charles S. Stevenson was seen
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-27

in this city in the Carter production
while Richard Vivian will be Denys
and Charles Giblyn Jean nu Barry.
The Belasco management calls the
attention of patrons to the fact that
on account of the massive character
of the production and the unusual
length of the play the curtain will rise
at s o'clock sharp every night, and at
2 O'Clock at the Thursday, Saturday
and Sunday matinees.
Charles Mack and his company, pre-
senting the Irish story in song entitled
Come Back to Erin" will head the
new bill opening the Los Angeles thea
ter this afternoon. Mr.. Mack carries
special scenery representing Kate
Kearney's cottage on the banks of Kill
larney. ]. K. Emmett, son of the fa-
nous Fritz Emmett, will also appear
in his new spetch entitled "Arties S
Dream" and Wood brothers of the
Irish American club of athletes will
present their double ring act Others
on the bill will be ]. Warren Keane.

under way for similar organizations in
every ward in the city, and that they
come from the precincts and not out OF
Parish headquarters.
Frank Dominguez. who heads the
Smith forces in the mayoralty fight,
says the report that he has abandoned
DIR. Silas A. Austin and has accepted
the machine slate with William e. Nc
Kee for the council is correct. His
great hope at the convention was the
Endorsement of DIR. Austin, and it was
settled up to the last moment. when
the machine issued different orders to
placate the anti-union sentiment.
"I am a soldier and could not do 9TH
erwise," says Mr.. Dominguez, which is
not by any means to be construed that
he takes orders. Since Nj. p. Light
has gone north for two months, double
brain work for "Uncle George" Smith
is being carried around by Mr..
Dominguez.

The former will furnish one of the
most unique features of the concluding
pageant-an enormous red and yellow
dragon, borne on the shoulders of sew
dred Chinese, who will represent the
feet of the monster.
An effort is being made by the com
