She was looking them all over for a long handle. At last she sighted me and picked me out. She brought me into the streets. I saw many um- brellas, but none I knew was brought through a large crowd and LID pair of long stairs. Then I was closed up and put in a, pail to drip.
 When the water had all dripped from me, she opened me, and put me in stoop to dry.
 I tell you I was very sick after that. but I soon recovered. I was put away and week after I was taken out in 8, rain storm and the wind blew 50 hard that it blew me inside out. This was the end of my city life. 2 NORA MURPHY, Age B.

A Rooster Problem

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought you would like to know about our rooster.
 Well, my Father has twenty hens and three roosters. but there is one rooster that is always fighting the oth- CT two roosters.
 My Father traded that rooster for another rooster, thinking they would get along: but it is just the same even worse.
 I don't know what he will do. I think he will have to faa1t that fighting roos- ter in a coop by itself. Don't you?

The Child Welfare Exhibition.

Saturday afternoon visited In- fantry hall to see The Child Welfare Exhibition The first exhibit was sev- eral deaf children being taught the diff ferent sounds.
 Next was the cooking class, where little tots in apron and cap were cook ing, while others set a table and one served with the skill of a talented hostess.
 Next was a class in oratory. and further on one in sewing.
 In the large hall an immense crowd had gathered and I soon learned that there was to be folk dancing. There were the Scotch dances. and very pretty Swedish dance in which only one Swede participated, and also the graceful American nninuet.
 A dentist had an office where chil- dren were given a free examination and told the defects in their teeth. There also W ere the housekeeping rooms, where were shown the best sanitary households.
 All told. I spent a pleasant after noon.

of the English title. Gibson has Of
fered Ritchie flattering terms for the

Failing to capture Ritchie and Welsh,
Gibson will try to sign Jack Britton

Britton, held conference yesterday

Ritchie had a guarantee of $4,000 for
his bout with Tommy Murphy in San

Here's a Treat for
The Globe Trotting
Heroes of Diamond

The globe trotting Giants and White
Sox are going to get a touch of the
real old high life stuff at the Galety
theater this evening. They are going
TO see a show which will make the
most dignified of the party smile a
smile of fond remembrance for dear
old San Francisco when they are chas-
ing the sphere for the entertainments
of some south sea island king or some
of the attaches of the royal courts of
Europe.
The stunt is a regular rag dance
and cabaret show right on the stage
of the handsome new theater. 1t never
has been attempted in this city, or
any other city, before, and unless we
go amiss it's going to be winner,
with singles. doubles, triples and
homers all guaranteed.
Just as soon as the curtain is run g
down in the final act of the Candy
Shop" the star tossers from New York
and Chicago and other cities will be
past behind the footlights. And then
the fun will start, and it will con-
tinue just as long as the ball players
are game enough TO step around and
drag their fair partners with them.
This wonderful show originated in
the fertile brain of John f. Beaufort,
the prominent fashion plate and man
about town None of them have any
thing on him when it comes to franz
ing up little party of this kind, and
he has given out the quiet tip that
this one will be talked of in at least
seven languages before many months
roll by.
Besides the fair members of the
Candy Shop" company talent from
all the principal theaters in the city
will be there TO help make the event a
big. booming. rip snorting success All
those who are not versed in the mys-
teries of the genuine old San Fran
cisco rag will receive special atten-
tion, and surely they can't miss after
getting the once over from such COM
petent tutors.
The whole bunch of celebrities will
be there-McGraw, Mathewson, Gala
han. Doyle, Meyers, Chase and the
rest of them. Beaufort will throw
both hands up in the air and invite
the diamond stars to go the whole
route. The house is to be theirs. and
they won't stand for bashfulness,
either
