The late Horace Leland, who for many
years kept ths Leland hotel at Spring
field, Ills, was q generous man and a
lover Of children. One day he and John
A. G. Andrews, then speaker Of the
illinois house Of representatives, were
walking out together, when they met a
man with cluster of toy balloons.
School was Just out, and hundreds of
boys and girls came pouring from a
building near at hand.
"Hold on. Ace" said Mr.. Leland,
"there's q Joyous sight, and the two
stopped and watched tho children all
gazing with longing eyes at the balloons.
"Fi' cent apiece"
"Kow much for the lott" asked the
philanthropist.
The man counted them. There were

Mr.. Leland took them all and dis

as much fairness rs possible. Then he
put his hand into his pocket and ssid. Il

.Oh, no. said Judge Andrews scri-

Plays like "Old Jed Prouty." which
reflect and portray life and character
faithfully and without nonsensical ex-
aggeratlOn, are generally appreciated.
There is in this play no attempt to thrill
the blood with stirring climaxes, but
there are many pictures of domestic
warmth and color, which all can ap-
preciate. How many will recall, as
they see Richard Golden halting about
the stage as Jed, characters that they
have seen in life that were so much
like him. Its indeed character por-
trayal that is sincerely artistic and
holnely--copied after the original which
Mr.. Golden used TO study down in

JosErH SWEENEY having been con-
victed OF heinous offense, it will be in
order for our esteemed contemporaries
TO declare that his trial was ''false and
sensational" and that the jury is pam
dering to the depraved. When The
HERALD was the first to investigate and
publish the particulars of the dastsrdly
outrage. they pursued that course, and
to be consistent they should do so new.
1t 10 probable that Sweeney never would
have been brought to justice but for the
activity and presidency of The HERALD
reporters in getting At the facts and for

1t 10 mistaken idea that TIE HEn-
AID is making o war upon Mr.. Kruse at
the instlrcs OF woman. The gratui-
tous ridicule made by The Press OF one of
the sweetest and most charitable women
in this city is unworthy any newspaper
that pretends to be ordinarily cour-
teous. The HERALD depends for its
information concerning Mr.. kruse
upon many of the most prominent per-
Sons in the city, both men and women.
For reasons that must be obvious their
names are Withheld from publicity. So
far as it Is possible to judge from what
these persons cay none OF them have
ever manifested any desire to dictate
to Mr.. Kruse nor to insist upon arbi.
trary demands. The paper in question
manifesto very narrow and distorted
conception of the true condition of af-
fairs. Whether actuated by . spirit
that would adj to the hardships of the
poor, or the senseless rivalry that
prompts opposition to the work of q
contemporary, no matter what its
character, its inaue abuse vi . good
woman Is wholly indefenslble. The
HERALD has insisted from the
outset that no complaint is made
that Mr.. Kruss Is inefficient
in disbursing the poor fund.
What it has declared is that he is un-
necessarily harsh and severe in his
treatment of those who visit the Office,
and in this respect reflects d;scredit
upon the city. The Press very appro-
priately says In the course of its half
column abuse OF good woman, whose
only fault Is that she kind to the poor:
"This officer must be careful and kind
in giving away the money of the peo-
pie and he cannot act on the informa-
ton of everyone. He must be guided
by one rule, and that is personal in
spection and knowledge. The nee DIV
and deserving poor must be provided
for" This is what The HERALD has
asserted from the first. 1t would be
much more commendable for the paper
In question to esponse tho cause of the
poor and help to make their condition
less miserable and unhappy, rather than
to attempt to belittle the work of q
contemporary and villify q woman.
