The Junior Call, Third and Market
streets, San Francisco, Saturday,
Nov. IL, 1911.
Dear Juniors:
The day of the farmer is at hand.
I am proud of the way in which the
boys and girls are taking to the agri-
cultural movement. AT any rate,
you're not afraid to work, are your
The other day went down Market
street, and met six boys.
"Hooray," cried one; If it isn't

They all crowded around and shook
my paw until it ached. / wagged my
tail as fast as / could and told them
that / was mighty glad to be home
again.
by the way, Alonzo," said another
one, i understand you're going to be
a real. live farmer"
Indeed, I am ! answered; aren't
you?"
Well, it looks that way. You see,
we're on our way to the hardware
store to get some tools now. We
have gardens at home"
/ congratulated them on their in
dustry and assured them that they
were IN the Pups class. Then /
wished them luck with their plats and
told them goodby.
Puppy and Ju-Ju spend most of
their time encamped beside the corn
rows. waiting for the sprouts that
haven't sprouted. Said Pup the other
day: I'll tell you what. Ju-J -Ju: ]
think something must have happened
to those seeds. Maybe the bugs have
eaten them up /"
At such dire prediction JULIUS
eyes very nearly popped out of his
head, and he halted right where he
was, with one foot in the air, which
he clean forgot to put down. Wrapped
in startled speculation, he stared at
the Pup for three minutes.
Finally Puppy lost patience. well,
why don't you say something? That's
no way for you to act" he declared,
in disgust; put your foot down; you
look like stork."
Recalled to the present, Ju-Ju let
his foot down to earth with a thump
in fact, he twisted his left toe badly
Naturally, he blamed Puppy The
next few moments were devoted to
angry mutterings, for Ju-Ju when up

which would put South sea islander
to shame, SO impossible is it to under
stand. Then he assured the Pup that
the only way to find out whether the
seeds were still there or not was to
dig them up. While Puppy was digest
ing this bit of birdly advice, arrived
on the scene in time to rescue the
garden. | told them it might be a
whole week before the seeds sprouted,
! and they'd simply have to be patient
and wait. Puppy said if they were
sociable seeds they'd come right out
and say Howdy do?" but / told him
you never could tell how a seed was
going to act, so he'd have to wait and
see. Since then they've instituted a
watch, and, if mother would let him.
I'm sure my young brother would
sleep in the garden.
Let's see how many can join the
garden movement this week. Every
day counts and you want to swell
the membership roll Don't waste
any time. Get in line today.
Yours, with best wishes,
ALONZO.

Deputy United States Marshal Bid
well of Des Moines has taken UP the
chase for Tom Hatch and Peter Juhl
escaped convicts from Saltwater
Mimi. who are believed TO have en-
gineered the plan to dynamite and

100000 ten days ago. Federal of
ficers believe that Hatch and Juhl
robbed the bank at Dayton, Tuesday,
the general store at Angus Tuesday

berry that has aroused the interest OF
the government.
Hatch is the man who made the
spectacular escape from the Fort
Madison penitentiary two years ago
Polk county officials were in Fort
Madison last week attempting to
learn of Hatch's whereabouts but

value there.

! OF the thousands of Americans who
will be in London while the festivi-
ties are In progress, it is certain that
not more than two or three at most,
besides Ambassador Reid and John
Hays Hammond, will see the king ac-
tually crowned. After room has been
found in Westminster Abbey for those
actually taking part in the ceremony,
there will be room left for just 10
spectators. The average individual
will find, on arrival, that his claim to
preferential treatment will not even
be considered. His best plan--lf he in.
sists upon coming-will be to apply
early for a seat in one of the especial
ly built balconies or tiers along the
line of march. 1t will be hard, I'M

in it and it will cost s25 to $50 but
it will be the only chance.
Nearly 100 socially ambitious Amer
leans have taken furnished flats and
houses in the West End. their tenan-
cies beginning Just before the coron-
alton and continuing from 1t to six
months. One firm of real estate |
agents reports having leased GER
tain English nobleman's seven-room
flat for three months for $4,000. /
Sojourners will be In London at the I
height of what is expected to be the I
gayest season since King Edward /
was crowned. The theatres, cafes and t
shops will be open to them and they /
will be encouraged TO spend money, /
but that is about all the fun they /
will have. /
1t is chiefly the fault of the rich /
that coronation prices
rule SO high. The wealthiest of them
have made such enormous bids, in re- /
serving accommodations that the Loil-
ion hotel proprietor and retailer are
confirmed in their belief that every
American is millionaire, proud of
wasting his money and especially de-
signed by providence to be bled to
shmwder people.

The Quail Tran Burned

The Quail Trap, the residence of C.. l.. Rawson in the English Neighbor- hood, North Woodstock, with all its valuable contents, was totally destroy ed by fire Saturday afternoon. Many of the neighbors were at the Sturbridge fair, and the few who came to aid could do nothing on account of the in- tense heat. None Of the personal be- longings were saved, not even a scrap of wearing apparel. The place was of local note and the Mecca for school children and strangers in the Neigh borhood.
 Originally built in 1906 for a sum- mer home, later additions included a large bird room, billiard room, music room, guest chambers, and small pie ture gallery. Among the thousand stuffed birds were many notable groups and the best collection of mounted skins of quadrapeds in New England.
 There was a collection of birds eggs from all over the world and a library of a thousand volumes and in the bird room a unique collection of works on oology.
 The poultry in the burned coops es- capped, but seven Russian eats and the big talking macaw perished.
 Besides the family portraits and tap. estries, there were many eanvasses and fine engravings, including q complete set of Landseer. In the music room were Victrola and a thousand rec ords. There were mahogany chamber sets, mahogany cabinets, inlaid tables, Persian rugs, hundred pieces of cut glass, and a complete silver service.
 The cause of fire is unknown, but may have been from mice gnawing matches. The lloss is about Sl2,000, with an insurance of 5000 on collec- tions, 5000 on dwelling and s1, ,500 on furniture, by Norwich offices.
