Once in awhile there comes dull.
gloomy sort OF day. and you conclude that
you are going to answer all your letters. Il
seems Il day eminently adapted to pouring
ink on paper. You are more or less re
leved yourself by this operation, and you
are apt to come out of ii as bright and
CHEEKY as the sunshine. which. after all, is
behind the clouds. During the long summer
days there have been u good many letters
coming to me: letters that were pitiful let
ters over which ! grew sad, and Yet they
were letters from people whom | could not
assist. They We're all letters from women
VINO wanted to make money with their
pens, and they all SAID, Won't You use
your influence to help me-" Now. my
friends, in politics influence may mean a
great deal; in newspaper work it IS ALSO
lutely nothing. You may come with letter
of Introduction from the Car of Russia.
\ GU may then be asked to write letter on
Russia. and. if il turns out to be poor one.
you will never be asked to write another
one for that paper, even if the grand high
mOgul of the land of China should be Your
hacker. A so-called pull in newsp paper
Offices usually means that you do work that

Last year my husband lost mis- position:
he is n very delicate man. and the railroad
company thai invited him to leave knew
when they did this that his chance for get
ting place in some other office was very
doubtful; he came home 10 me with the
news. and after | had cousoled him and
made him feel that things were brighter
than they looked ne went to the door and
got the evening mail from out the letter
box. The first letter that 1 opened
told me my services were no
longer required on paper which
had formed the greater part of my income I
Understand. they didn't object to nv work.
