Hurrah for the vigiiant.

To the Editor:
A letter appeared recently In your spicy column
Of correspondence over the signature OF Wallace
Bruce. relating to George Gould. the Prince OF
Wales. and the races between Nigilsnt and
Britannia. I desire TO say that the writer VINO
has used that name is unknown to me, ana
also that I emphaticaily disciaim the Manner
can ideas therein set forth. As It has been
copied in several Hudson River newspapers ana
attributed to me, l wish to make 1T clear that
the letter was not written by Wallace Bruce
formerly Of Poughkeepsie. and recently United
States Consul at Edinburgh. II the writer is
not an American. perhaps he will use some other
name for future valentines OF this nature
He might follow the advice OF Tony Weller to
his son Samuel and sign Piekwick "as good
name and an easy TO spell" II he is an
American. his early education along the lines
OF patriotism has been sadly neglected. Hurrah
for vigilant. WALLACE BRUCE.

Bonnie's silver shower.

TO The Editor
Herewith hnd tii.lo. amount collected Tuesday
evening at Terrace Garden by that clever little
mascot. Bonnie Thornton. Her success has been
remarkable indeed. and Of course It IL largely
due 10 her interest in the Sick Babies Fund.
which The Evening World has done 90 much
for. This is her second week at my place. and
hope to see even more profitable results to the
little sick than last week. although VIC
did pretty we'll, considering the weather and
other circumstance. Miss Thornton deserves all
the credit allowed her and perhaps more. our
buys up here have fallen In with her and have
done all they could TO help along the cause.
Their enthusiasm over the Sick Babies Fund
Is unbounded. We will retain many happy re-
Membranes o. pretty Bonnie and her endeayors
for The Evening Worid'E' Fund. Our only
hope Is that may he able TO double the
amount next Summer. when we expect TO repeat
our efforts In the meantime shall do all
can for the present time. -

Cnp and Maid.

The cap is always the bone OF con-
tention between mistress and maid. l
have never had any difficulty hereto
fore in seeing the question from the
mistress's standpoint. but l confess that
until lately never understood Just why
a maid of any degree should object to
wearing anything that adds to the gen.
eral attractiveness of her appearance.
Lately I have begun to realize that
housemaids do object to caps, because
they are not willing to advertise them
selves as housemaids. You see, they
have an idea that the visitor at the
front door will inadvertently mistake
them for the mistress. All! This is
such a human little idea, to wish to
masquerade bit. .Houscmaids are
not the only ones who do it.
Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream.
Highlows pass as patent feathers,
Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers.
Yes, know-that Is so.'

For Public Good.

o the Editor:
It's said this is the peoples year.
II must be when they shout.
We want true and honest men.
The other kind step out.
We want q better history.

We'd iliumine every page Instead
with glorious undertaking.
Too much OF foreign element
From every isle and nation.
Has been porting In upon us
The increase Is vexation.
Tho many from the idle crowd
Return from whence they came.
Many more there are who sigh for home
Rather than here remain.
II Uncle Sam. who knows so well
Just where the trouble lies.
Should free pass all the foreign
To other land and skies,
And open wids the nations gates
For foreign transportation
A year. ~ need be-to relieve
The direfui situation.
The debt to pay. with per cents.
For peace and country pure.
Then close the gates 30 open wide.
No more migratlon-sure.

The letter signed IN. A. Red In your issue

multitude ct married victims we'll know. hus-
band who Is injured by his wife has next to no
redress either In law or elsewhere while the de-

requisites saidi THE list Is short and
commonplace set OF five brushes

fact that intermarriage among the family was
not forbidden by God at the time that Cain
