STOCKTON SCHOOL
DECLARED IDEAL
Monroe Primary Praised by
Jacob Riis as One of Finest
in United States
Especial Dispatch to The CALI

STOCKTON, Feb. 5.--Stockton is
credited with having one of the best
public schools in America. Jacob Riis,
friend of President Roosevelt and noted
throughout the United States as the
enemy of the slums, in a recent visit
to Stockton as the guest of the Prin-
cipals Round Table, visited the Monroe
primary school, situated in the heart
of the poorest district of the city, and
pronounced the institution of learning
one of the best in America.
The school is located on West La
fayette street, on a half block, the
grounds of which are planted with plats
of various varieties of vegetation and
floral creations. Each of the pupils of
the school is assigned to plat and is
held responsible for its yield and pro-
ductiveness. Every vegetable and
flower susceptible to production by rea-
son of china tic conditions is grown by
the students. Each of the seasons is
taken advantage of, and as result a
rotation of crops is carried on through
out the year.
The equipment of the school is mod
ern in every particular. Single desks
are furnished, group tables for study
are provided, special attention has been
given to light ventilation and acous-
tics. and the classrooms generally are
attractive and contain all the facilities
necessary for school work. The struc-
ture is of the old mission style of archi-
lecture. The classrooms are grouped
around a Spanish courtyard, and the
entrance to the building is adorned with
stained glass circular rotunda of i'm
pressive beauty and attractiveness.

Talk about energyl

A half cake of Fels-Naptha soap can
display more energy in getting nd of dirt
in half an hour than an able-bodicd
woman can In half day.
But there's this difference: Much of
the woman's energy is wasted.
When she rubs clothes hard on a
washboard she wears out the clothes in
trying to rub out the dirt.
Fels-Naptha concentrates its energy
on the -dissolves it into tiny particles
that are easily rinsed away without
harming the most delicate fabric.
And it does this in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot water or boiling, sum-
mer or winter.
Do you prefer to supply the dirt
removing energy yourself or TO use that
stored up in cake of Fels-Naptha1
If you choose the easier and better
way, follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.

MuIai Hafid, Sultan and Shereef,
Il gifted with a grim humor that
keeps his courtiers trembling on the
razor-edge Of expectancy.
His latest victim Is the Kaid OF
Laraehe. who has recently been on
visit to his Majesty. Certain Of ms
position on the coast and uncertain
Of his sovereign, the Kaid Of Larache
mad heretofore refused all invitations
to pay his respects to the new Sui
tan in Fee. What caused him 70 re-
lent is not known, but he came, and
with him came peace-ohering OF
$4,000 and a bale al silk.
Mulai Hafid gave orders that his
visitor should be lodged sumptuously
and fed at his own table. Each night
the Kaid OF Larache was convinced
that he had won the confidence and
affection Of his sovereign, and boast
ed to his companions that he had
never been asked to give an account
Of the revenues Of his office.
At last the day came when the
Kaid Of Larache decided to return
to his home. The caravan was ac-
cordingly prepared, aud the Kald
went to the palace to take leave
OF the Sultan.
His Majesty condoled with the
Kaid for having to return to an
office so Improbable that 1t had eeas-
ed to yield any revenue" and warp
ly congratulated him on his dew,
ton in on ring his own head in place
Of the missing revenue"
There would be, added the Sultan,
a collection of dollars or Of heads at
dawn next day.

This is a true story with all the
necessary vouchers, says the Glove
land Plain Dealer,
An East End family has a cat. a
Zig grey Tom who answers the uane
OF Ben. Ben's natural enemies are
the sparrows. When he can creep
up on one of them and make its
feathers fly he Is delighted.
Some time ago a lot of the little
ehatterers settled on the limb Of a
tree in Bens back yard. Ben saw
them and crept foot by foot to the
tree. Up the trunk he cautiously
climbed and finally reached the limb.
At this point the s3arrows saw him
and flew to the ground where they
chartered vigorously, Ben in the
meantime watching them from the
limb with hatred in his yellow eyes
Then without warning the sparrows
few up and started a con-
eerted onslaught on Monsieur Ben.
The pecked him without mercy. IN
til he dropped his head and beat
retreat crying mean
while with pain and rage.
Even as he descended the trunk of
the tree three of the birds followed
him with vicious bills
When he reached the ground he
ran to his mistress on the porch and
sprang into her arms-the triumph
ant birds Withdrawing their fighting
line in good order.
