Letter-Writing by Proxy.

I'm, | believe, the only person en-
gagged in the business in Chicago
said the handsome and bright lady
whose business card bore the words,
Letter writer" Il have written let
ters for ladies who, from their wealth
and surroundings, you would suppose
could do their own corresponding. /
have, however, found many such who
could neither spell nor write plainly
nor express their ideas. have writ
ten a good many letters for persons
who make no pretenSe of their 1nabil-
ity TO do so for themselves. But the
bulk OF my patrons come to me not be-
cause they are unable to write, but be-
cause they cannot command express
sion for their thoughts
What are the letters about gene
rally?'
We'll, that would be telling. But
if you won't say | told you, they are
mostly letters of sentiment. The
greater part are love letters. Iou
think that persons would prefer TO
write such letters themselves. So they
do when the sentiment they breathe is
real. But the letters / write are tho e
of occasion. Each party desires to i'm
press the other with epistolatory beau
ties, and not having any themselve5-
well, ! furnish the sentiments for them.
It's very easy she added, with a
flavor of cynicism. There's d regu-
lar stock of sentiments for all occa-
Sions that pleases all people alike. If
some gentlemen who are the proud pos
SCISSORS of glowing letters from ladies
knew that some of their friends had
others from other ladies, but nearly all
alike except in words and all coming
from the same source, they wouldn't
be so proud.
Ladies write much alike, and so,
for that matter, do gentlemen. | no.
tice one thing about the latter, how
ever, that is peculiar. Young gentle
men up to the age of twenty-three or
twenty-four are very etfusive and gush-
ing in their protestations. From that
age on to forty they grow more guard
ed and cold. They are afraid of di-
cule or something. Perhaps they are
suspicious and distrustful. But after
gentlemen reach middle life they re-
turn to youthful ardor in their letters
of sentiment. Queer, isn't it?'
"What other kinds of documents do
you turn out?'
"Oh, letters of coincidence, of con-
graduation, of ceremony and so on
letters that are meant to impress the
receivers and are out of the power of
the apparent writer's themselves to
construct" ."--ChiCGgo Herald.

Wrestling with n Barrel OF Flour.

Our schoo'mates are few and far
between now. Death has carried most
of them away and those who are left
are widely scattered. How the roads
of life do forG-and some take one and
some another. We are all like piclets
skirmishing around, and one by one
get picked off ourselves by the common
foe. | had liked to have got picked
off myself a day or two ago. The
wagon had come from town with n few
comforts, and one was q barrel of flour.
Mrs. Arp and the children always
come to the south porch when the
wagon comes for they want to see it
unloaded and feel good for little
while, and SO when the hind gate was
taken off and Mrs. Arp had wondered
how we would get out the flour, /
thought | would show her what man
could do. ! rolled the barrel TO me a.
stood on the ground and gently eased
it down on my knees. My opinion now
is that there is keg of lead in that
barrel, for my knees gave way and |
was falling backward, and to keep
the barrel from MASKING me into a
pancake or something else, | gave it a
heave forward and let her 60, and it
gave me heave backward and let me
go, and | fell on a pile of rocks that
were laid around cherry tree. and
they were rough and ragged and sharp,
and tore my left arm all to pieces and
raked it to the bone. The blood
streamed through my shirt sleeve and
| was about tn faint, for blood always
makes me faint, when Mrs. Arp
screamed for camphor, and the girls
run for it, and before / could stop 'em
they hal campfire and turpentine fire
all over my arm, and | went dancing
around like | was in yaller Jackets
nest. 1t liked TO have killed me, shore
enuf, but after while | rallied and went
to bed. | haven't uSel that arm nor a
finger on that hand till now, and go
about sad and droopy. But | have
had Il power of sympathy, and Mrs.
Arp is good-mighty good. And now
Pm in a fix, for l can't shave but one
side of my face and company is coming
tomorrow.
Well, | used to could let down a
barrel of tlour-I used to could-but
rolling years will change a man-anno
domlni will tell | reckon by the time
get my neck broke l will begin to
realize that Pm not the man | used to
be, but as Cobe says, eff l could call
back twenty years I'd show EN-" The
next time a barrel of -four comes to my
house | will get two skids twenty-five
feet long and let it roll out, see if l
don't. | shall get we'll slowly-very
slowly. But Mrs. Arp asked me this
morning if couldn't pick the rasp-
berries for dinner with one hand-said
she could swing a little basket round
mynecll. What thoughtful, ingenious
woman. Bill arp.
