Did you ever know a boy or girl who
had the habit of putting off until to.
morrow that which could and should
be done today? This same boy or CIR
would be apt to say, when In a mar
I'll show you what work isy' or, when
I grow to be a woman I'll do this OF
that, and I'll do 1t WE'LL"
Suppose this boy should say to his
hands, "Im not going to use you now
you are too small, but in some years
from now, when you are grown up and
strong enough, I'll put you to good
use" When he grew to be a man he
would find his hands quite weak from
lack Of proper use In his youth and
useless for work.
You need not wait until you are

Contrary to the general belief, the
wild alligator is still to be found in
large numbers in the Everglades of
Florida. Indeed. the surveying par
ties of the Florida East Coast railroad
extension were more than once at
tackled by these ferocious beasts. 1t
is seldom, however, that one discovers
the nest Of an alligator, but recently
a naturalist photographer met with
such luck, as is shown by the accom-
panying illustration. There were TWEEN
ty-three eggs in the nest, which Is not
a particularly large number, consider
ing that these creatures often lay from
thirty to sixty eggs in a single nest.
They are similar In shape to an ordi-
nary duck egg and about three inches
In length.

Dolls In Siam.

Have you ever seen a Siamese girl
kiss her doll? Well, you wouldn't
know she was kissing it II you were
not told, for she kisses 1t in the same
fashion that grownup Siamese kiss
and that is by touching their noses
and drawing in a long breath. 1t is
really funny. particularly as the dolls,
except the father and mother dolls,
wear no more clothes than the chill
dren themselves. The fathers and
mothers wear strips Of cloth wound
round the middle of their bodies, as
the real people do. The dolls Of the
poor people are made Of baked mud,
but children Of rich people have wood
en- dolls, which look much more like
real dolls than the little mud figures.

Ieapfroo Not Popular Any More.

1t is not strange that the old fash
ioned game of leapfrog has lost much
Of its popularity with city boys. The
sport has been substituted by more
active games, particularly baseball,
and it is seldom that boys are seen
giving a back" as they used to do in
days gone by. Occasionally they will
be seen leaping over their comrades
by straddling their legs wide apart,
but whenever there is a chance to get
to a baseball ground or to play zone
O. cat" leapfrog is relegated.

Enjoyment Of Keeping a Diary.

No doubt many boys and girls now
keep a diary. Others who do not will
find 4 keen ource Of pleasure In re-

In this manner A diary is really a

Kaufman was as slow as the
proverbial truck horse, and never

through and through, but that was
all. Although in excellent condi-

TO HAVE
NEW BALL
PARK

SEATTLE, May president
Dugdale decided yesterday after
noon that he would make every
possible effort to build his new
baseball park in Rainier valley, a
short distance north of York sta
ton, this coming summer. Three
consecutive days of rain made 1t
impossible to play on the Yesler
way grounds, but the new dia-
mond in Rainier valley did not
carry sufficient water to take the
shine off shoes.
The system of tile drains put in
under the new park has already
proved to be a good economic VEN
ture although it cost $4,000.
There Is no question:" said
Manager Tighe last evening, ''but
what the new diamond will be one
of the finest in the country. The
water goes through as if it were
striking sieve"
81 am convinced" said Presi-
dent Dugdale, "that 1 have got to
go ahead with the new park. l
have held back owing to the trou-
BILE over regrades, but 1t seems as
though such matters should be
settled in the near future, and in
the meantime plans can be per-
fected and work commenced"
If Dug could know positively
that Rainier boulevard Is to be
widaned his trOuihlea would ba
although 1t is no small
job to finance a new park. The
seating capacity of the grand
stand will be at least 5000 and
the bleachers will carry the total
UP to between 10000 and $4,000.
