Be in time for every call; It you can, be first of all: Be in time! If your teachers do but find You are never once behind, But are like the dial true, They will always trust in you: Be in time! Never linger ere you start; Ever go with willing heart: Be in time! In the morning up and o, First to work ana soonest done; This is how the goal’s attained, This the Way the prize is gainea: Be in timel Those Who aim at something great Never yet were found too late: Be in timel Life to all is but & school ; We must work by plan and rule, With some noble end in view, Ever steady, earnest, true. Be in time! —Selected. s SR TR After spending many happy hours by California’s beautiful lakes in the midst of pine-clad mountains, I greet you, members of C. R. C., once more, for here I am at my desk, pencil in hand, working away as hard as I can, almost hidden by the piles and piles of letters tnat are stacked up around me. Letters so full of good wishes that as I read, tears of joy come to my eyes and from my heart goes up a prayer that I may ever be worthy of the love and esteem of the bright boys and girls of C. R. C. Precious are your letters, every one! If you might only know how very very hard it is for me to cast one aside 1o that ogre, the wastebasket, I think tears would come into your eyes, too. However, I've published almost a whole postofiice to-day, and 1 know you'll enjoy every letter. Don’t forget to put lots of the sunshine of your own sweet lives into those scrap- pooks over which you are so pusy. ABCBST . The name was given to the present month by the loyal subjects of the great Roman Emperor, Augustus Julius Czesar, because during this month there came to him his greatest zood fortune. -— Ghe Ubaghington Tonoment. I’m sure all the boys and girls will gladly welcome to our ranks to-day Hazel Bell. You know she’s the bright little girl who first started the Washington monu- ment moving fund by writing a letter on | the subject to Childhood’s Realm of THE SUNDAY CALL away last February. Tue letter was published and the matter was left right there, but Hazel didn’t stop thinking about it or talking about it to her friends either. It's strange how things happen, isn’t it? Time passed on, when, one bright day, Mr. Carrington, the Sunday editor of THE Carr, was taking a drive. Riding alonga certain street, much to his astonishment, he saw peeping at him over the high fence of a back yard what seemed to him to be the face of our noble Washington, the father of his eountry! With mingled feelings of surprise and indignation he proceeded to investigate and found, standing in that obscure piace, the fine Washington monument which, in time past, occupied a promineunt position in Woodward’s Gardens. Well, ever since that day Mr. Carring- ton has been hard at work to awaken pub- lic interest in its removal to some fitting spot, and just as soon as he learned oi Hazel Bell’s interest and enthusiasm, he determined to place the whole matter in the hands of the children of San Fran- cisco. The kind gentleman who is the present owner of the monument has agreed to present it to you, and to have it removed to any selected place at his own expense, and the Park Commissioners have prom- ised to allow it to be erected in the very brightest spot 1n the whole State of Cali- fornia, the children’s plavground of Gol- den Gate Park. Itis going to stand right near that ‘“little ones’ delight, the merry- go-round,’”” between two mnoble trees. Won’t that be fine? And now for business. Remember it lies with you, and I'm sure you will make it a grand success. Your work is to restore the pedestal on which the figure is to stand, and to brighten and freshen the noble structure 80 sll signs of the long days and nights of neglect will forever be effaced. Just a mite from eazh child will help wonderfully. How pleasant to feel that the C. R. C. has such an important duty tc perform. M. W.R. e Subscription List. Hazel Bell Alice Cardall Percy Hichare Donald W. Rich Clorine Carringtou. A Regretable Omission. Itnke great pleasure in stating that the pretty heading of July 18—the littie girl with the pond lilies—was drawn from an original design by Marie Parish, one of the club's brightest members. M. W. R. An Awm J'('l\i ln(('éelLt There is a place in the State of Oregon where there is so much water that people go from one house to another in boats, and carriages are not used at all. A little girl born there was taken when ten years of age on a visit to the home of an uncle in the East. v Soon after they arrived, her uncle, think- ing to give her pleasure, took her with him for a drive. Kittie had never seen a horse in all her life until she left her Oregon home, and the drive in a carriace was a wonderful experience to her. It seemed so very high in comparison with a boat that she was anxious about its tipping over, but her uncle succeeded in quieting her fears, and she began to think she was having fine sport. When they returned home she was asked by her grandmother how she en- joyed her drive. She replied seriously that she liked it very well, but a horse was dreadfully hard to steer, and when uncle tried to make a landing it acted so padly that it almost wrecked the carriage.

ROCKVILLE, Cal. Dear Editress: 1am so glad to be a member of the club, and Iam going to try and be a faithful one. I think the plan you suggested about the little hospital children is very nice. 1 am going to go right to work to make a scrapbook for some poor little girl. Iknow how bad it is to be an incurable, for at one time in my short life I was considered one of them. Through accident I got hold of some poison when I was about 2 yearsold. I was taken dreadfully sick and my life was de- spaired of: finally I recovered, but my left arm and leg were paralyzed. Under a careiul doctor’s care I soon recov- quite warm here. My pet canary died soon after I wrote to you. I have a dog besides my other pets. His name is Sport and he is & deerhound. Papa got him & few days ago. My brother, Louis, ana I may go to school next term. We know our alphabetand can write a little. Ithink the picture-gallery is a very nice thing. I shall try hard to belong to the C. R. C. Ishall close now, hoping to see my letter printed. Your little reader, ALICE HADE (5 years old). ; Loupoc, Cal., July 31, 1897. Dear Editress: My father takes the WEEKLY CALL, and Ilike the Childhood’s Realm very much. Ilive in Lompoc. It isa pretty little town and hasabout fifieen hundrea inhabitants. It is about eighteen miles from the railroad and about the same distance from the ocean. My pet is a horse. She is a bay and is very gentle. Her name is Pet. About three weeks ago we went camping at Las Cruces. We stayed a week. There were many balibut caught. One day members of our camp caught six halibut and the next day ten. Inclosed you will find some puzzles. ' If you publish my letter and puzzies I will send for the badge. Your new friend, OLLIE STREETER (C. R. C.). GILROY, Ca)., July 26, 1897. Dear Editress: This 18 my first letter to THE CALL. AsIhave notseen any letter from here I thought I would write one. My papa has been taking THE CALL for thirty years. Ien- joy reading the children’s page in the Sunday paper. Iseethe C. R. C. is increasing, and I should like tobelong to it if I coula qualify myself. Iam 13 years old, and my brother Y “ACT WELL THY PAR%.; THERE 4ALL THE HONOR' LIES™ MOTTO OFC.RC. A% Illinois—Sucker or Prairie. Indiana—Hoosier. Towa—Hawkeye. Kensas—Jayhawker, Garden of the West.

Through the railing of the stairs, What is this my heart ensnares ? Jimmie’s dimpled baby face Pressed into the narrow space 'Tween the stair-rails, to bestow His last kiss before I go. When the sweet caress I feel @ Airs from heaven o’er me steal; How I pity those who miss Through the stair-rails Jimmie's kiss, Jimmie's face framed in spun gold Summer’s sunshine seems to hold: Such a power of comfort lies In the light of his blne eyes, That the memory through the day Drives full half my cares away; And his smile keeps warm my heart All the day we are apart. Icould ill afford to miss Through the stair-rails Jimmie’s kiss, Jimmie does not seem to guess - What a world of happruess His sweet favor can bestow; Doubtiess he will never know How the day is made more fair By that kiss above the stair, ered the use of my arm, but not of my leg. I had to wear irons, and for three years could only get my toes to the ground. After a while my leg straightened out, but it was thought I should always have to wear irons or braces. When I started to school in a strange place, and everybody either made fun of or pitied me, I told mamma i1 she’d take off that dread- ful jron I'd try and walk straight. She tried me for one day, and in amonth by careful watching on my part I began to get strength in my leg, and now I can walk nearly as well asany one, only I limp a little, but I am told that I will soon be all right again. I thought Iwould send right away for my badge, but 1 am very grateful to you for sug- gesting that plan, for Isee now how selfish I would have been to spend money for myself that eould easily be used to cheer some little slck girl. So now I have 52 cents and & lot of picture cards for my hospital fund, After this I will keep all my spending money to use in this way. 1 will close for this time, for I guess my let- ter 18 already too long. Do you think it would be best to put in my scrapbook more funny stories and pictures or Sunday-school cards and stories? Your little true friend, BEATRICE B. BAILEY. P. 8.—I hope to get my bedge some day. Fort BIDWELL, July 28, 1897. Dear Editress: I have not written for a long time, but shall now. I will inclose some puz- zles and hope to see them published. I am going to send for a badge as soon as I have done engugh to earn one. Ienjoy reading the Childhood’s Realm very much. It is very warm here now. We live a mile and a half from town on a farm. Hoping to see my letter in print, Iam vour little reader, Ora H. SEssioNs (11 years old). LARKSPUR, Cal. Dear Editor: As Iam spending my vacation in Larkspur with Ethel McClure, & member of the C. R. C., T have become interested in the club and hope to become s member myself. Inclosed please find a sketch of the tent that Ethel and I occupy, and I hope it will be pub- lished in next Sunday’s CALL. It is the first sketch I have ever made, and 80 please excuse the mistakes, IDA KERVAN. BENICIA, Cal. Dear Editress: 1 have not written to THE CALL for a long time.

I should like to be a member of the C.R.C. Your little friend, THOMAS HOWARD. SAN FRANCISCO. Dear Editress: 1send yom a story about the picture in Childhood’s Realm a few Sun- days ago.
