- y The Sea Lions and Love e =

IN the rocks at the Cliff House
" in San Francisco there are
sea lions
When Balboa tumbled head first
over a cliff and discovered the
Pacific, there were sea lions here.
They tumble and roll and quar-
rel and play and scold and bark.
Sometimes there are more, and
sometimes less, but always the
fraternity is represented.
The sea lion is great traveller
he may go 10000 miles in a year,
but he has places he calls home,
and to these he annually returns.
Many OF these sea lions at San
Francisco are known by name
they have distinguishing scars
and marks of individuality that
can not be mistaken. Simple folks
think that sea lions are all alike.
but this is great mistake, Some
are good natured and generous,
others mean, small, quibbling and
irritable.
l regret TO say that the sea lion
is like New York society-"im-
perfectly homogeneous"
On the rocks at the Cliff House
one sea lion named taft" is king.
Taft is successor TO Ben Butler,
who became monarch here in 1S49.
In fact, Ben Butler was a forty
miner. Everybody who came here
got acquainted with him-from a
distance You can hire field
glasses from walters at the Cliff
House, and these bring the lions
up so close that you can hear the
cubs cry, and listen TO the Ian
Suage of the others, which is often
unfit for publication.
Ben had the rocks. He held
the fort until 1880. when large
busting attorney Of sea
lion came over from the Faral-
lone Islands, and there was a ter
rife fight, This fight lasted two
days and two nights. Half Of San
Francisco fiocked to the shore to
see the sea fight It was a mat

had the law, but Taft the profits.

TUCH of the happiness Of
lVl life depends on making a
wise choice Of friends.
Very true friendships may be
formed early in life and may
grow out of comradeship in
school or college, or in social or in
business relationships, but even in
the very early years tastes must
be trained to be discriminating.
Girls must strive to understand
how to choose, how to discern and
judge character, for it is on the
worth of character that true
friendship is based. Without in
sight or discernment one NAV

bring disappointment and may
mar life.

Investigation to Reach

The nature of such offenses in
evitab1y precludes such frank
ness Of relation between Judge
and criminal as is essential to
correct and just action.
Women can understand girls
better than men can, and with
out such understanding, just and
wise. Judgment can not be rem
dered.
Especially does this principle
hold in the matter of criminals
that are young in years and i'm
mature in crime. 1t may be less
applicable in the case Of those
that are hardened in ways of
iniquity.
But in instances of youthful
waywardness, the best part of the
work of a Judge does not consist
in determining whether crime has
been committed and in affixing
commensurate penalty, but in
carrying the investigation far
enough inward to reach the
springs of action and to apply
at that point such correctives
of wise and sympathetic counsel
as shall check the first impulses
toward crime, and convert them
into impulses toward what is up
right and pure.
The place into which such girls
are brought should be a school Of
morals fully as much as peni-

A SONG FOR THE MAY

tn OLMORROW will flower the April May; 4
To-day stormclouds lower and Winters to-day
always Springimes bright way,
So bear with Winter and wait for the May
my heart weary waiting,
Waiting for the May
Waiting for the bright returning
OF the Springtde and its yearning.
Hopes blooms dead sleeping
All the Winter day.
my eyes grow dim with weeping
Waiting for the May
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the Springtme and May;
To-day may sorrow, hope dies to-day,
While Winter winds lash and the storm gods at prey
Still we through the gloom Sprngtime May
So my heart is filed with longing,
Longing for the May
Longing for the pillows,
And the tender green willows
Where in glee the thronging
Through the Springtide day
Shall assuage the Winters longing
Longing for the May.

which they were themselves
transplanted. 1t may be too late
to go back, but it is not too late

BOY SCOUTS ASSIST

Capture Spies in Belgium. Guard
British Bridges and Help
With Harvests.

NEW YORK. August 1-Dispatches
from abroad mentioning activity on the
part of Boy Scouts in connection with
military operations in the European CON
f1ict have led to the belief here that the
scouts will play an important role in
the general war. although their activities
will be incidental rather than a part of
the campaign. Already dispatches have
told of the capture by Boy Scouts of
spies in Belgium. their guarding of Brit
ish bridges and the plans of scouts to
assist in harvesting crops.
There are approximately 3Inn0e Boy
Scouts in Europe. divided as follows:
Great Britain, 2eo,cAo: Germany, .n.ojI;

England was the pioneer in the move
ment. Shortly after Sir Baden Powell
established it there Holland and Scandi-
navia took it up. Belgium, Italy and
Poland followed. then Germany and
France. More recently. Russia, Turkey
and the Balkan states have encouraged
the movement.
Essentially an organization working for
peace. there is nothing in its teaching
that would discourage the taking up of
arms in self-defense. Ludwig S. Dale,
an authority on the movement and a
friend of Sir Baden Powell, said today,
in this connection:
1T should be remembered that though
we are against war we are not there

that every patriotic scout. should neces-
sity arise. would respond to his country s
