ADDY had never forgotten a dream he had had when he was a little
boy. He asked Jack and Evelyn If they would like to hear il, and, Of
R% course, they were delighted at the prospect of hearing one Of daddy'a

"As a little boy" began daddy, II greatly admired lions. Whenever L

One day 1 had been to tho zoo, and, Of course, had spent all my time
watching the lions. When / got home late in the afternoon I ws very
sleepy.
I'm u house there vas a table which was held up by four wooden lions
with shields They sat very straight upon their launches, and their shields
they held straight out In front Of them.
Perhaps these lions had heard m talk about the live lions in the ESQ and
had meant to talk to m e for ONT time. They Jaw that / fell asleep in the
big chair beside them before going up to my own room and going to bed.
II couldn't have been long going to sleep, for almost Immediately the four
wooden lions began to talk to me. They stood just 70 straight 10 ever, but
they talked with a great deal Of energy.
"You think one Of them began, that those lions up in the zoe Are 10
wonderful Why, they don't compare with us wooden lions! Now, we do
something worth while, while they only sleep and eat and rort just to make
people think they are impressive and fine.

"But quietly, I am sure We are appreciated by your family even if you

suppose they would hold up this table all the time? No; they would probably
pull everything of the table and make a great connection
Now, Of course, they were trying to make me feel very bad. I felt SO

ORGANIZED PLAY.

A business the expansion Of which
sven tariff pessimists would Join with
modern Scroogea in toasting, is that Of
helping children to play. To what pro-
portions 1t has grown is shown by the
report Of the Recreation Association
at America. that 5000 persons are now
paid to supervise 2,40O play centres in
this country. and that 1888 more are
In training for the work.
There could be no better index Of

awarded the plaintiff. In the light of
these admissions defendant Will not be
heard to urge in the supreme court any
grounds for reversal, not relating 10
the question of damages.
4. Certain assignments OF error are
predicted upon the refusal of the trial
court to give certain requested tnstruc-
tions, but such rulings are held non
prejudicial for reasons stated IN the
opinion.
S. Error cannot be successfully pre-
dicted upon rulings refusing to give
requested instructions where the
charge, as given, substantially and &C
curately covers the matter embraced in
the instructions thus requested.
s. The damages awarded to the
plaintiff by the jury were small consid-
ering the magnitude of the wrong con-
cedely perpetrated by defendant upon
plaintiffs martial rights. There is no
contention that such damages were ex-
cessive or that the jury, in assessing
the same, was actuated by passion or
prejudice, and a consideration OF the
entire record satisfies US that defendant
had an eminently fair and impartial
trial, free from errors Of a prejudicial
character. In the light of the facts it
is held that defendant has no cause for
complaint upon n of the grounds
urged in his assignments.

when the outlook on life was cleaner
and finer. and today this nation is a
better nation because Yesterday it's

the recruiting Offices become veritable
hives Of activity. The prospects of
real danger, the chance Of active serv-
ice, shooting and being shot at, have
al irresistible appeal. The readiness
to serve. the spirit of patriotism-dor-
mant In peace-are evidenced when
the president calls for volunteers.
This is why Uncle Sam needs only a
small standing army in quiet times,
when the dove of peace is rerched on
the stars and stripes. 1t Is an easy
matter to raise a million, or more,
fighting men when they are needed,
and they are the finest. most intelli-
gent and most versatile fighting men
the world can produce.

Loss OF APPETITE
IN The SPRING

Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, vigor or tone, which
is a more serious loss. 1t is common
in the spring because at this time
the blood is impure and impover-
ished and fails to give the digestive
organs what they need for the proper
performance Of their functions.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilIa. It makes the rich red
blood your whole system demands. It
is not simply a spring medicine-but
it is the best spring medicine.

Goldfish.

Deputy Consul General G. ]. Barrett,
Yokohama: Large quantities of gold
fish are being grown for the export
trade by Japanese dealers in the Yoke
hama district. The majority of these
fish are forwarded to San Francisco
and Seattle for the local and eastern
markets, Approximately 100, 900 gold
fish are shipped annually from Yoke
hama to the United States.
There are four principal varieties of
this fish available for export, the ran
chu, demekin, riukin and wakin. OF
these, the ranchu Is most in demand.
1t is not considered advisable to ex-
the age Of 2 years. The average life
Of the Japanese goldfish is Z years, al
though With exceptionally good care
and attention they frequent live for
ten years.
The fish are sold in lots Of 100. Local
dealers quotations per 100 for the diff
ferent varieties of 2~-year-old fish are:
wakin. $1.25. The supply is unlimited,
and exporters state they can meet any
reasonable demand at the prices
quoted.
Safety in transportation is the pres
ent problem confronting the dealer. OF
extremely fragile and delicate con
structlon, the fish often become bruis-
GU w tuO AVlilHB HUlIOH OF tile SnlE
and die in transit; usually 40 per cent
become slcRly n die before delivery
is finally made to the American pur-
chaser. However, this contingency is
anticipated by the dealers. and prior
to shipment mutually satisfactory ar
r~angements are effected covering this
unavoidable depreciation Of the orig
inal quantity.
1t would be advisable for prospective
purchasers to communicate with the
San Francisco dealers rather than rc
undertake direct dealing with the Jap
anese shipper. The San Francisco
dealers usually negotiate their pur.
chases through some Japanese attend

during the voyage.
These goldfish are used mostly fol
exhibition purposes, but they also fine
purchases among amateur collectors.
