I After a week of hard 'study one of
the most enjoyable; sports to me is ,to
go swimming wlthisome of my. school
mates. It is very, fascinating, as "well
as useful to learn to :be a good swim
mer. / ' When we reach : the ' baths every
'ono':tries .to get. s into the 'water first
and then we have great fun swimming,
diving, playing tagand running races.
1 It is very -easy to.s pend from two
to four hours wlthout.noticlng it. The
time passes so very quickly.' There are
many ' other enjoyments, such -the
slide, tho rings; and -shower,': and there
is hardly a-mlnute during-the; bathing
hours that, the slide Is notoccupled.
.Oh,. what fun whcn v at last'eomes our
turn. We, go down nny old way, some
going head . first, others sitting' and
still, others lying on their backs. I
think going down head first is the best
way because the water "splashes out
from, you and you .don't -get all of It
In your /face.' The, ring- and- showers
also are: lots of fun.
• A Saturday . enjoyed like this I am
sure would be plcaßlng to anybody.

*ing toward Leona heights. We each
brine a little lunch and a bag. These
heights are very pretty, being little
hills with valleys between that one

After reaching' the tops of these hills
What Part of an Airship?
we walk along the ridge, stopping now;
and then to pick acorns, which we put ;
in our, bags. As we go on we see rab
bits, squirrels arid a great many birds.
The rabbits- lay out regular cities.
Going along "one. notices what, at first \
look like wagon tracke; which end in
holes ;under rocks.' But these are the
streets of the rabbits and the holes
their houses. In one place the tracks
formed what looked like, a baseball
diamond, and, at each corner there was M
a*- big spot. This peculiar freak was
caused in the' following way: Raba
bits are very fond of sun batfis. The
tracks or lines along. which one. would
imagine the base runner ran were made i
by the rabbit changing his position, the
spots or bases were the ; places where -
he la.y down to bathe in tho sun, There
was also a spot in the center of this
diamond with no tracks leading to it,
and one could fancy that was where
the pitcher stood.
About 4 o'clock, we start for home,
and by the time we have reached there
we have walked some seven miles.
I like to do this because It gives
me exercise and allows me to breathe
tho freoair, which makes me healthy,
and because I can see the wonders of
nntnr«." ' * -

OLIVER REDMAN,

Saturday Is the '..best-day of the week
for me, as I. hunt. I 'get up at 4 a. m.
in order to . get the' earliest shooting,
but I have to wait a long time before It
is time to ( begin. I hunt ducks, and
never com© home without from four to
six in my bag. •„
It took me several days to dig my
blind, but it is large enough to hold
two boys.
' My friend Harry and. l' went out last
Saturday and took some lunch along.
Boylike, I put^a can of sardines into
my bag without an opener, and we
were forced to shoot a hole in the can.
We had quite a time picking, up what
remained of the sardines. I have a nice
gun now, double, and number 16, of
which lam .very proud. •
§''.',^For the last two', years I have been
using a single barreled gun; and it was
good, too.. Many, a fine hunt did I have
with it. I used to ««rawl. 100 yards to
get near to the ducks and then shoot,
as'. l -had not, then learned to shoot on
tho fly. ' ,
My shoulder gets pretty black. some
times, but it is \ fun, and lif "the gun
klcks v me over, I look around to see if
* any one\is looking,"
Yes, duck hunting Is great sport, and
I wish all ' city boys had. a, chance at
the ducks.

When the week's routine- of studies
and problems has been completed /and

very, very >few exception's, always to
my pen that.l Joyfully turn: The hap
piness and comfort "which a day spent
in writing often g-ives, me words, be
they ever so graceful and eloquent,
have no power to express.
My pen acts unto me both as teacher
and adviser and leads the way to a
far off realm, '.to aj distant Utopia,
where all Is sunshine and happiness,
where falsehood and # unkindness are
driven out and wheife the plants of
generosity and unselfishness grow in
every garden. In this, wondrous land
are dreamt my most beautiful dreams,
and learned my most helpful and im
pressive lessons.are made my best and
strongest resolutions. Here, too, I look
back upon my doing's of the week, here
do I remember the many wounds and
the sorrow I through my thoughtless
ness have caused when a kind word or
cheerful smile might have- prevented It
all, and here do J. resolve that hence
forth I shall be more considerate. 1
Suddenly" some noise from without
awakens me and I am sternly reminded
'that after all Utopia is not my home,
that I belong to a far- greater world,
wherein I can do much good If I only
will. With this in mind I determine
to bury the seeds and watch tho growth
of those plants whioh abound so pro
fusely in Utopia, but which we, the

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY f NOVEMBER 13, 1910.— TIIK JUNIOR CALL
What Fish?
A WINTER SATURDAY IN
DOROTHY FRIEDENTJIAI,,
Ape 12 Years
Juniors, I know many of you do not
know the Joys of winter In the east,
and I am sure any of the Junior boys
among you would be glad to become
girls If they could enjoy half the
things lam going to tell you about. I
will describe a few pleasures in the ',
most attractive way I know..>;,<'
Scene 1, act 1. A cold, frosty morn
ing, snow two feet deep and little,
soft, white, fleecy flakes tumbling
through the air In a baruin scarum
sort of way, as if they were hurrying
to reach the earth. to give the children
pleasure. You tumble out of -bed .as
quickly as possible and clothe yourself
In your warmest "garments to keep out
the biting cold. Toil drag youV sled
out of the cellar and come in contact
with Mr. Jack Frost, who tries his ,best
to keep you In the house. But he can't
do it," and already the hill Is a mass of
flying sleds, . on which are girls and
boys with, the happiest faces and the
reddest of cheeks and noses, to say
nothing of. caps and mittens. You join
the crowd at the top of the hill, give
your sled a start, Jump across it, -He
flat on y/mr stomach and go whizzing
down the hill with several other boys.
I am writing -about a boy, Juniors, but,
mind, girls do It, too.
Scene 1, act 2. A crowd of boys, you
among them, hauling their sleds by
ropes to a clean space in' an empty lot.
They are conversing intently as if the
greatest question of the country had to
be'solved. After a while they begin to
make layers of. snow and build high
walls* When the fort is finished they
throw over it buckets of cold water,
which will freeze and make the struc
ture strong and firm. After this, is
done the boys commence making man j
little balls of the snow, depositing them
on one of the sleds. They make a great
many snowballs, as . hard, firm and
round as possible, bo that whoever they
hit will be "hard hit." By this time
the water; on the walls has become Ice
and no amount of snowballs can i break
it down. .'
Scene 2. Another crowd of boys, ad
vance toward the fort from the street,
a shout rings on the frosty air and the
grand fight begins. Snowballs fly to
and fro, now bursting into pieces on
the walls of the fort, now landing in

side some one's collar and sliding down
his back. You peer cautiously over tho
top of the wall, aim carefully, and land
your ball on a boy's head, chest or
back. Swift as a bird comes one In
turn for you, but/you take shelter be
hind the wall and the white sphere
bursts on the ground a few feet away.
So back and forth continuously fly the
missiles, until a white handkerchief is
seen waving above the heads of tho
enemy. You wavo a handkerchief also
and the fight ends. ''^ You with your, fol
lowers emerge from the shelter of the
fort and advance toward iyour. van
quished foes. They are compelled' to
give up their snowballs to you and are
on parole not to attack your array
without notice. s. \u0084 :.
Scene I, : act 3. A. huge pile of snow
rising above the fort next to it, and
your crowd digging away ,with all their
might. At last -the : drift begins to
take on a shape, which gradually be
comes a hollow. The top and sides
are smoothed off and the Eskimo house
is ready to be showered - with cold
water. When this operation Is finished
a snow man is erected arid he receives
a shower bath also. You and v your
friends each bring a chair from home
and spend a comfortable morning in
the shelter until lunchtimel After
lunch some more coasting, fights and a
while In, the snow hot. Then a hot
dinner, \ an hour or two by the fire
roasting chestnuts and popping corn,
and then bedtime, after a day of frolic
and enjoyment which is the pleasure of
a healthy boy or girl.
LIKES HER DOLLS BEST
2415 Folmoiu Street, -San Francisco, St.
Peter's Girls' School. Age 11 Years
On Saturday I always like to play
with my (Soils and sew .for them, I
often have my little friends come with
their dolls and wo always have a nice
time. My, doll's name is Cecelia. She
has blue eyes, light hair and black
eyelashes.
Sometimes on Saturday I like to go
downtown or to the park or, some
other place of amusement, but not
often. During the week I have my
school studies and on Monday and
Thursday I take my music lesson, so
Saturday la really the only day I have
to play with my dolls. Sunday I al
ways go to the park, cross the bay or
go to the beach.

PLAY BASEBALL
MERVYN MILI f S,
Richmond. Tenth Street School. Sev-
enth Grade. Age 13 Years
After I have finished my work on
Saturday I like to get out and pray
baseball, for there Is no more inter
esting game to me tharj our, national
sport." Saturday is about the only time
a boy can play ball, considering that
the sun e"ets at 5 o'clock and that, one
does not get out of school until after 3.
Baseball is a good, clean, healthy
game arid the boy who does not engage
in it does not know what he is missing.
It is an athletic game; It exercises the
arms, i legs and brain,, and Is. very In
, vlgorating. This Is the principal rea
son why I like baseball. :--v^ \u25a0*..,.
• Besides this, Is it not the .leading
sport of America, and Is It not being
introduced into England? What bet
ter proof is needed than this that, base
ball ,1s the very thing for young
America? . • .

It was a beautiful, sunny morning
and the drops of dew on the roses
sparkled like silver. I arose with this
query, "What shall I do today?" I
made up my mind that i a hunting ex
pedition would Just suit.
t "But why not anything but a hunt
ing expedition?" I asked' myself.
"Well," I "this .is Just the
day for such a thing. The forest Is
close at hand and, besides, there Is
an abundance of game. The weather,
too, is fine and. the air buoyant." So
I shouldered my gun and started off
for the woods to enjoy this excellent
day. , ".

have some pastime and. fun on Satur
day, because the whole week they have
nothing but lessons. The thing that
used to Interest me most of all was the

comes on Sunday. However, it is Just

Saturday comes about 7 o'clock, when
the Junior arrives. Then hurrah for an
hour with Alonzo, the Junior, the
puzzles, and the stories, together with,
the rest of the Junior Call 1 I can
think of no other reason for preferring
this particular thing than that 1 1 think
the Junior Call is the best little paper
that was ever published. Today I

I enjoy Saturday best of all, as my;
music teacher comes down from Napa
to teach a large class of pupils. When
he has spare time, after ' my lesson, we
play, duets. Sometimes we play. at par
ties on Saturday \ evenings. Other
times he has pupils play at our,, house.
, I am 1 very fond of music anU. I play
•on four instruments— mandolin, banjo,
guitar and violin. But my favorite Is
the mandolin, ;as that was the first in
strument that I learned", to play. I
hope as I grow, older to take lessons
on the piano, and learn to sing.
SATURDAY'S PLEASURE
HENRIETTA nODGES,
1423 Versailles Avenue, Alameda. WU-
Hon School, A Seventh Grade.
Age 13 Years
On Saturday afternoons after my
music lesson Is over I like best to go
to IJncoln park in the east end of Ala
meda. T The city has given us a beauti
ful park and outdoor gymnasium here.
The rings are very healthful, because
they develop our muscles. The swings,
swinging bar, swinging ladders, giant
strides, merry go round, slides, tennis
courts, basket ball courts and baseball
grounds afford recreation and amuse
ment for crowds, of children. In the
other end of the playground are swing-
Ing cradles, and swings for little chil
dren, \u25a0 i \
The grounds are large and well kept,
and for people who like rowing and
sailing there is beautiful Ban L«eandro
bay to the east end of the park. With
a crowd of girl friends one can find
much pleasure In o.ur park, betfauae
there Is everything beautiful to make
us happy.
The superintendent la very popular
with all the children, and Instructs the
boys in many sports. The matron Is
very attentive to all the girls, and
teaches them many games and . folk
dances. I only wish that the many poor
children ahut up In dingy tenement
houses In the big cities and the sick
children in the hospitals could Join us
In a day at our beautiful Lincoln park.

To bind our will to her.veryiown, . •
To Bit in the midst of her bighchuir

To sway and conquer and hold us

To her rippling laugh with Its rhyth

To claim our service and use' our time
For tho merry need of her golden clime.
Tee-hee, tee-hee, on her way she goes
In an April world with the bloom of j
rose,
A princess born on the purple morn
When a fairy's lips on the echoing horn
Of honeysuckle and Jasmine blew '
A bugle note from the hills of dew, I
And sprites of laughter and song and
gleam " • /
Came trooping down to her lips of
dream.
