I'm a rich little kitty

Sometimes on the sofa,
Sometimes on the bed,
Right on the soft pillows
If nothing is said.
My mistress she loves me.
She says I'm so sweet.
Such a dear little dumping,
I'm most fit to eat,
She hugs me and kisses
Me right on my nose,
She says that my mouth
Is as pink as a rose.
She says that I'm pretty
With bright shining eyes
That sparkle at night
Like the stars in the skies.
She says that my paws
Are as soft as fine silk
And my breast is as white
As the purest of milk
She says that l sing
Just as sweet as a bird.
That my songs are the sweetest
That ever were heard.

INSTEAD of writing & story
for the unfinished story con-
test this week the bows and
girls are all invited to write a
short article upon this topic, My
Practical Application of Electri-
city" In this all Junior writer's
are invited to tell whether they
have installed any telephones,
whether they have run wires, and
established a telegraph station
from one house to another,
whether they have wired electric
bells, lights or other installation.
Tell all about any experiments
with storage batteries and wheth-
er the magnetic in fathers or
uncle's automobile is easily un-
derstood.
The prize for the best paper on
this subject will be a splendid
book, How to Understand Elec-
tricity," by William H. Onken,
jr., associate editor of the Elec-
trical World, and Joseph B.
Baker, technical editor of L. S.
geological survey.
This book explains how and
why "the wheels go round" when
the force that drives them is cleo
tricity. We know that trolley
cars are impelled by an electric
wire, we recognize the third rail
of electric trains when we see it
splitting flame, and at home we
read and sometimes cook by
electricity. Every bright boy
and girl naturally asks How is
it done?' This book tells the
story of these and many other
electrical marvels and will offer
many interesting suggestions for
those boys who are already fairly
conversant with electrical work.
Write from $50 to 300 words, on one
side of the paper, leaving margins at
the top and side of each page. Address
the letter neatly to Aunt Laurie, Los
Angeles Herald, Los Angeles, Cal, and
be sure that it reaches this office not
later than Thursday, July Is, for pub
lication July 25

NLSIE and Dorothy Blake
III had lived all their lives in
an inland city. They had
gone to school and in their geog-
raphy had learned about the Pa
cifc and Atlantic and other big
oceans, but they had never seen
a large body of water. Their
father had promised to take
them to Chicago, where they
could see Lake Michigan, but
something had prevented the
trip every time, so finally one
day he came home and said:
We'll, girls, | have decided to
take you to Los Angeles for a
trip, and then you may go to all
the beach towns and see all the
ocean you wish"
The girls were too delighted
for words, and danced about the
house embracing their father and
mother in the happiness they
felt. Mr.. Blake was a member
of the Elks' lodge, and he had
heard OF the elaborate prepara-
tions the men and women of Los
Angeles were making to enter
tain the visiting Elks during the
convention, and the prospect had
been so attractive that he de-
cided to go with the members
of his local lodge and enjoy some
OF the good times which were to
be offered.
When the Blakes reached Los
Angeles, with its gay decorations,
beautifully lighted streets and
music, they realized that they
had done wisely in coming to
this hospitable city, but the girls
did not want to see anything but
the ocean.
Mrs. Blake accordingly de
cided to go to one of the
beaches and secure accommoda-
tions for the family, that the
girls might indulge their longing
for ocean bathing all they
wished.
Compete this story telling what ad-
ventures the girls had at the beach,
which they found the most delightful,
what their impressions were upon see
ing this great body of water for the
first time and whether or not any caas-
trophies attended their visit, Describe
their efforts at fishing from the pier,
whether they had any boat rides and,
in fact, everything you can tell about
this eventful visit in the lives of these
two little girls and their first visit
to the ocean,
Write from 150 to 800 words, on one
side of the paper, leaving margins at

A Memory Test.

A professor of mnemonics had gone to lecture at or near Canterbury. After the lecture was finished he had to wait for his London train. It was a most comfortless day, and he re- tired to an inn for shelter and re- freshment. To pass the time he be- gan to exhibit his feats of memory to the yokels in the inn parlor. and one and all were thunderstruck except the waiter. There is always one skeptic in every communion, whether of saints or sinners. Do what he would he could not mitigate the scrid smile of acrid incredulity of that glorified potman, In the midst of one of his most difficult feats the whistle sounded of the ''Only train to London tonight" and he rushed oil to catch it He caught it at the station, and his reputation caught it in the inn parlor, for the waiter-coming in with some ordered refreshments and find. ing him gone-pointed to the corner where he had been sitting and ex' claimed: Silly 'umbug, he's forgot his umbrelIa,"-The Young Man.

MEXICAN KILLS. HATED RIVAL After Working Together in Same Field Husband Shoots
 Wife's Affinity CORONER'S JURY FINDS VERDICT AGAINST SLAYER

MORALES. June News of the murder of Antonio yasquez was phoned in to Justice of the Peace J. J. Chatham yesterday. vasouez who owned a little ranch in the nelghbor- hood Of the Harrison ranch, about seven miles from town. was shot and killed instantly by inienio otono, near the ranch.
 It seems Otono's wife left him some two years ago and lived with the man Vasquez. about which trouble arose between the men, though they had been for some weeks working in the turning to his home yesterday morn ing about noon. when Otono, who was in hiding behind some bushes. shot him. No trouble had happened be- tween the two men immediately prior to this, but 1t is supposed that the fact of the preferment of Otono's wife for Nasquez was the direct cause of the murder. of the murder as soon as possible and btutitu tHc DouN oi Ndcqucl DIoueht into town. as no coroner's jury could be obtained in the vicinity. An in quest was held in town this morning and the verdict was murder by Injenio Otono.
 At the time of the killing vasquez was riding home and when he fell from his horse. Otono jumped on the animal and rode away. 10 attempt be- ing made to stop him. He is supposed to be in hiding across the line. Otono it is reported was the foreman of liar rison's ranch.
 I. G. King is in town from his prop critics in the Patagonia mountains. He is sinking shaft of fifty feet depth on one of the mines and reports in dications of large body of azurite and various high grade oxides. No assays have been made for gold and silver, but these metals are certain to exist, Mir. King thinks, as previous assays have determined. He reports work will be immediately recommend ed on properties in his vicinity. MT. King states that the people who held the option on his property as being well satisfied, but nothing definite has been consummated in regard to the deal, though it is suggested that an extension of the option has been granted.
 A car of machinery from Denver, Colo, passed through today for Ala mos, Sonora. where rich mines are being opened up. These properties are of acknowledged richness and the machinery will aid in their future exploitation. In addition to this ship ment three cars of mining machinery from eastern points are destined for Mazatlan, where mining properties are being opened up from Culiacan to Mazatlan.
 A party of eighteen capitalists whose names could not be learned, from San Antonio, Houston and Gal weston, Texas, passed south on Mum Der ? last night for Sinaloa. These substantial representatives of Texas are exploiting the country for the purpose Of investing in agricultural and mineral lands.

COULO DIVORCE CALLED IN COURT

NEW YORK. June S.-Was there an inherited curse in the millions left by Jay Gould, -lhe Wizard of Wall street?" It would certainly seem so from the amount of notoriety and domestic trouble in which the most of his children have shared since his death.
 A year ago this month the family skeleton was rattiing its grizzly bones in a French divorce court, where the Countess de Castellane, formerly Anna Gould. was suing for separation from her titled husband.
 About the time that the courts re leased the Countess de Castellane from her husband for good and all- leaving her free to marry the notor- ious Prince Helie de Sagan a few months later-the family infelicities of the Frank Goulds were being aired in the New York press. As in the case of the youngest daughter, Anna, the troubles of the youngest son, Frank, culminated in a divorce. The decree was granted his wife. who was Miss Helen Kelly, two weeks ago. And now, when the ink has scarce ly had time to dry on the papers in the Frank Gould case. comes the sep aration suit brought by Mrs. Rather inc Clemmons Gould against Hoard Gould. and the latter's countersuit for a divorce. The case was called for hearing today before Justice Ger ard in Part 3. special term, and it is expected the trial win take place without further delay. It will not be a jury trial. Most of the testimony will be offered in the form of deposi- tions taken by both sides.
 The matrimonial troubles of Mir. and Mrs. Howard Gould have furnish ed a staple of gossip for several years. The couple have not been liv ing together since they returned from Europe late in the summer of 1906 It was not until nearly year later however. that Mrs. Gould brought suit against her husband for limited divorce. Desertion. non-support and lcruelty were some of the charges brought by Mrs. Gould.
