tion he had with a Judge Mackenzie,

Mr.. Garfield was not In the cabinet ?"
asked Representative Olmstead amid
laughter.

Senator Root here entered vigorously
into the examination.
Whom did Mackenzie make this
statement tor" he asked.
ITO Special Agent Jones and myself.

tion"
But you took them as an official Of
tho land Office"
Yes, sir"
Claws added that it had always been
the practise to furnish copies of pa
pers to the forestry In all cases where
that department was cooperating.
Now again. why WAS II you made
that anldavit?" inquired Senator Root.
Il thought 1t might be OF interest
to President Taft II I had another op-
portunity to see him"

He is interested in tho Dalton group
OF claims in Alaska and ia not known
among the agents as u lobbyist here In

This answer brought out laugh at
the expense of Chairman Nelson
"Who arc the principal owners OF
Nclson2" was asked.
Mackenzie and ex-Gov. McGraw"
Claws was questioned closely as to
why the statement to MT. Garfield
made such an impression upon him.

we came to Sycamore grove.
Several of us girls walked along the
railroad little way, then crossed a
tiny stream on the stones. Soon We
came to a little pool, where some of
the girls waded.
Then a few of my counsins and I
went back to the park, and pretty soon
we had lunch.
After lunch we played games and
some ran races. After a while my
mother and I and a few others took

CREASED POLE CAUSES FUN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
consider the Fourth OF July the
happiest day have spent this Vaca-
ton.
went to a picnic and barbecue
down to the river. When 1 got there l
found a number of my friends there.
We all talked until about IL O'Clock:
Then there was some speaking ana
singing until about noon.
We ate our dinner, and after we were
all through eating some men put up a
creased pole. The boys tried 70 chnp

Then they had some running and sack
After that they had the boys try

our lunch under some eucalyptus trees.
1t tasted very good. We stayed there
about an hour and then went on
We saw the Santa Ana river and
waded in 1t a little while.
While we were going from Corona to
Elsinore the water tank in the auto
acted pretty bad because it leaked.
When we reached Elsinore 1 thought
the lake was very pretty.
We then went on to Murrieta. 1t is a
very little village. My brother Richard
was born there.
We had to go up hill to get to the
place where we were going to stay.
There are olive trees around the place.

OF course, to so many hungry children
the subject of greatest importance was
lunch, which was suggested first by
long tables and then by an immense
freezer of cream, and also by numer-
Gus boxes filed with delicious lady
fingers" and inacaroons, all of which
had been generously supplied by Aunt
Laurie. The children had brought
good supply of substantials in the way
of sandwiches and so forth. Well,
what came next any one could guess,
but no one should attempt to de-
scribe so I will pass on.
After dinner some went to the little
ripping stream that ran in back or
the park, while others rambled away
to the limits of the park to look in
on the other crowds of picnickers.
Then gNmes were taken up, followed
by the intellectual feature of the day,
consisting of recitations and songs.
1t was then remembered that there
was a lot of ice cream and cookies
left, which certainly would not keep
for the next annual picnic, so they
were dispatched in short order.
So the day passed, and parting time
came-parting with many new and
pleasant acquaintances among my
many cousins. Your loving niece,

BUILDS CASTLES IN THE SAND

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The happiest day / have spent this
vacation was Fourth of July. 1 went
to the Socialist picnic at Playa del
Rey. My friend, Phoebe Bowman, was
with me, and we waded in the ocean
and played in the sand all morning,
each having sand shovel for digging
wells There were speeches in the pa
vilion in the morning, but 1 did not
hear them. We had fish dinner at a
restaurant.
That afternoon J. Stitt Wilson, the
Socialist candidate . for governor
started his campaign tour over the
state. He came to Playa del Rey in
an auto, which broke down near the
edge of the town, and he had to walk
in. He was greeted with great ap-
plause.
Then there were more speeches.
Phoebe and 1 went down to the la
goon and caught crabs We put them
all back except one, which Phoebe
couldn't stand civilized life and died.
We built forts and a big wave washed
into them. After 1t was gone Thought
the sand looked firm and put one foot
into it, but looks are often deceptive,
and I went into it above my ankle
Luckily, mamma brought an extra pair
of stockings for emergencies.
There was man who took pictures
and developed them in minute. We
had ours taken.
That evening there was dancing, the
Socialists in charge. There were rail-
ings at the end and along one side OF
the hall, and gates with chains. "A
man at the gate took the tickets, Dut
Phoebe and l and some other girls
went in under the chain and danced
We cannot dance very well, but we
tried. We had to go home before we
wanted to, and stand up most of the
way. We were very tired and glad 10

TOO LATE FOR LAST WEEK

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When 1 read the topic for this week
I could not remember ever being lelt
without a cook, so I decided to let
mamma do as she wished and reneVe
her of the responsibility of planning
and cooking.
The first day it was not so bad, for
there were things already cooked one
morning we decided to make mush for
breakfast. Many times we had seen
mamma sift the cornmeal, but never
watched her stir it in: nevertheless we
thought we knew how. When the
water boiled, without thinking we
poured the meal all in at once instead
of stirring it in little by little. My,
but it was lumpy. When we fried it
it was so thin and lumpy that we
called it mush waters.
At noon we sliced our potatoes and
baked them between pans, as the folks
were fond of them cooked that way.
l thought they would be delicious, but
when they came out of the oven they
were very mushy I found had baked
them too long We were going to have
lemon pie for dessert When the filling
was ready we took the crusts out of
the oven but they were burnt so black
we could not use them.
Once I put the tomatoes on the table
without peeling them. never
thought until a frown fitted across
fathers face but he soon smiled.

FoReETs TO TAKE HIS LUNCH

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The happiest day L have spent this
year was at the Herald Junior picnic
Wednesday. August 10.
When 1 reached Sycamore grove Aunt
Laurie wasn't there yet, and the cook
les and ice cream had not yet arrived.
1 had gone down to sell papers in
the morning and when 1 got home
mamma was gone. I found note and
some lunch. The note said that l could
go to the picnic.
1 was so happy that could not eat
any lunch. Then 1 forgot to take it
along with me.
At noon a lady gave me two buns
and a sandwich, and I had all the
ice cream and ladyfngers I could eat.
We played games, ran races, spoke
pieces and told stories.

VISITS MuRRIETA SPRINGS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One of the happiest days I have had
this vacation was when we were going
to Murrieta in grandpa's auto. Muir
rieta is about ninety miles south of

Elsinore.
We started about 8 o'clock in the
morning of July 2. We went to Mon
