It will soon be time for the moving
in" of the new governor. Everyone
wonders who he will be. Everyone
wonders if he will be a good governor
and if he will be the one that they
vote for. Everyone hopes he will be.
All these are the things that happen
when the summer is over, after every
one has had three whole months of de-
lightful joy. But it is not really a
cold, snowy winter that they come
back to, but a mild, pleasant winter,
bringing only enough rain to help the
farmers crops along. Everyone should
delight to move back to such winter
as we have in California.

SUMMER BRINGS CHANGES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When June came everyone was max
ing plans for going away, either to the
seashore or to the mountains. Now
that the summer days are almost over
and school will soon be starting
families are moving back into the city.
Many are coming here that have never
been here before. Many of them will
return again in the summer time to
the homes that they left, and many
will remain here.
AS one passes the depots when the
trains come in they see throngs of
people coming from the station. Along
the street one meets camping wagons
coming in from long summer trips.
Then, too. the houses along the street
that have been vacant all the long dry
summer take on a homelike aspect.
The blinds are drawn up and one sees
faces of friends who have been absent
during vacation.
You notice that next door there is a
new family with several children. You
wonder if you will like them, what
their names are, if they will enter your
school and what grade they are in.

HELPED TIRED NEIeHRoRs

Dear Aunt Laurie:
All was confusion in the house next
door, as new neighbors were arriving.
Early in the morning a sreat load
of household goods stopped in front of
the house, whose door was opened by
a small, tired looking woman.
I'm here. please, Mr.. jones'" she
called, and then to a couple of young
sters who were tugging at her skirts.
"Please run along; mamma busy"
Then the two little tots, chili-Iike,
began to cry, cause mammals al
ways busy"
Above the hammering, exclamations
of delight. caused by some new dis
covery, cries of pain as the children's
mamma slapped meddling fingers,
stepped on toes which had suddenly
grown clumsy, or screams of distress
as fingers were hammered instead OF
nails, could be heard the cry of poor
lonesome little baby.
Mamma sent me over to see II
could help in any way. When Mrs.
LIE Roy, our new neighbor. heard my
errand her face lit up with pleasure,
for she said, I'm glad I've jome
neighbors"
saw at a glance that to relieve her
with the baby would be the best thing,
so 1 coaxed out the twins Qittle A
year-old boys) and got the baby over
home to play on our lawn.
1 spent all that day playing with
the children and keeping them fIom
the land of wonders, their new home.
At noon, when / stepped over at the
house to ask Mrs. LIE Roy to come over
to lunch, / saw that she was most
tired out, but that she had performed
almost a miracle in getting her house
in order.
We have been friends with the LIE
Roy family from then till now

ly. When she saw me looking at the
picture of her dead father she sobbed.
After calming herself she told me his
whole history too beautifully TO write
it down. At the close of her story
she found a beautiful box and l gazed
with admiration at it's beautiful de-
sign of the emperor's coat of arms set
in silver mounting. My mother then
continued. Emperor Joseph gave him
this for fulfilling mission of great
Importance correctly. When the box
was opened there lay in its splendid
golden beauty a watch and fob of
such workmanship I've never seen. Af-
ter a good long talk we finished our
work. L then sat and stared and Won
dered "Ought not be proud of my an

wATERMELoNs AT NEW HOME

Dear Aunt Laurie:
AS we were moving in our new ranch
home, August l, 1910, 1 selected a room
adjoining the dining room. 1t is a
nice cozy room; there are pictures on
the wall, a bed, clothes closet, pink
china silk curtains, box of pansies on
a shelf just outside the window, and I
fixed up a place in one corner of my
room for my dolls.
We had such fun playing in the barn
on the hay. We put up a swing in the
big pepper tree. and we took turns
about in swinging.
In the front yard there are two pep
per trees, a dozen rose bushes, honey

TWINS FIND INTERESTING FOLK

Dear Aunt Laurie:
We had been at the seashore couple
of days before our goods arrived. or
course, we were all very anxious to
see our new home. Father had Sc
lected a little cottage in the outskirts
of the CITY and couple of blocks
from the beach. 1t was a nice little
place with a large back yard and trees
and flowers.
After we had been in our new home
about a week my twin sister and my
self received a note which read as fol-
lows:
"Dear Twins: am so lonesome.
Won't YOU come over to my house? I
live next door, 1t is needless to say
we were very anxious to go.
When we entered the house we were
surprised to see a dear old lady watch
ing for us. She told us she had seen
us go by and wished to get acquainted
with us She was an invalid and
though she suffered a great deal she
always wore a smile of happiness.
Aunt Eugene, as we soon learned to
call her, had her house fixed very nice.
She had a brother Jack, who was
sailor. He used to send her all sorts
of pretty ornaments and beautlfuI
dresses from foreign lands. Aunt Eu-
gene used to tell us strange stories
about them.
She was a very romantic person:
She once had a lover who was lost
on the ocean. She was always help
ing some one. One time when my sis
ter was sick she sent many nice little
things to Ter. Every Christmas she
would send a large sum of money 10
the Orphans home.
After the first invitation we went 10
see her many times, for we w were ere al
wavs welcome VERA MURPHY.

BUILT DOLLS FURNITURE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When we moved to Long Beach 1t
was quite an eventful day, although
it was hard work setting the things IN
order again. We had moved into
new bungalow and there was large
woodpile in the back yard consisting
of ali kind of pretty wood which was
used in finishing the house. l was
small. so could not help much in
Strengthening the house. at once sat
down near the woodpile with a ham,
mer and nails and started to make
doll furniture. Soon some little girls
living across the street saw me and
thought that wood pile looked tempt
ing, so they came to the fence and
asked me what my name was and II
they could come in and help me.
said I would be glad to have them,
for l was lonesome because my sister
and brother were helping mother.
They told me they had playhouse in

auainted with them.

ball at school. One day after school
Cecilia Toolan brought her ball across
the street at a vacant lot where good
many of us played. After While
Editha, one of the girls of the new
family, came by. I never even spoke
to her before, and so l made up my
mind to do so. l yelled across the
street to her and asked, will you
come over and play ball?" She an
swered and said, ~ will after get

We played for half an hour or more
when the girl and her sister came up
to play awhile.
She and the rest of the children of
the family always go to Sunday school
and to everyday school.
This is the way we got acquainted.

VISITED BY STRANGE CAT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The first time 1 remember having
ridden on train was at night. Every
time mamma closed her eyes 1 would
wake her for fear we would go past
our station while she slept
1t was a. long drive to the new farm
eleven miles from town., and we did
not arrive until evening. 1t was so
late and we were so tired that we
went to bed early. Our bed was next
to a glass door which had broken
pane.
I hated to sleep with my head near
the hole, but would not be at the foot,
for l knew the rest would say was
afraid. In the middle of the night l
was awakened by something crawling
over me. 1 soon realized 1 had
new but very disagreeable bedfellow
"a large black cat. 1 was so fright
ened l hardly knew what to do, but
finally screamed and woke my father,
who put the cat out.
The next morning, as I was too small
to help put things in order, 1 ex-
plored my new home. I first visited
the garrett AS I had never been up
stairs in a house before 1 held my
breath for fear the floor might fall in.
Next l went to the orchard and
climbed trees until I got tired. Then
1 visited the pasture. When I went
to the barn I found that horrid black
cat, which had disturbed us in the
night, with a whole lot of kittens.
These are only a few of the interest
ing things which 1 discovered during
my ramblings.
This was one of the happiest days
of my life, and one of my many day
dreams is to visit this farm again some
day and live again the adventures OF
my early childhood.

WALL STREET.

New York, oct, There was a. rela pse
into listlessness in the speculation in stocks
and operations were hesitating and with
out marked initiative. The sharp reaction
of the day resulted In considerable discour-
agement to movement for a rise. 1t was
the current supposition that an organlza-
ton recently formed TO conduct a market
movement on an enlarged scale had encoun-
tered opposition in the form Of free offer
ings from bankers and from insiders in the
properties which acted as an admonitIon
that those interests were out Of sympathy
with the attempt to conduct an extensive
speculation at this time.
The interior demand for cash begins to
reassort its influence. The sub-treasury
absorption Of funds also goes ON, although
moderated from the demands Of last week.
There was renewed attention paid to
stocks known as specialties which are often
subjected to individual influences outside
the current Of general tendencies in the
market The substantial advances here and
there in such stocks was believed to be
caused by market pools formed for the pur-
pose. The recurrence Of this movement
overcamo TO some extent the heaviness
shown at one time during the day. Lower
prices for copper In London did not hurt
the copper industrials in the local market.
