The Boston Herald says: when n
man has reached the age of discretion
he should he permitted to marry whom
soevcr he plcascs." Good; 1t would he
too bad to marry him Off to somebody
whom lie doesn't please.
Some people can hardly believe 1t
when they read of otter skins on cx-
hibitlon in London that are worth $3.50
each. when we often see skins" right
here at home In our American cities
that are worth millions.

When war was declared against
Spain. a young gill just emerging into
wOmanhood. Natalie Schcnck, of Baby.
Ion. Long Island. conceived the idea of
raising money. for the relief of our
soldiers who might become sick or
wounded, by means Of II chain Of let
tcrs. each asking for a contribution of
ten cents. She accordingly wrote let
ters to four friends, numbering each
one. AMI asking that each recipient
should also write four similar letters,
also numbered. and In turn requesting
each recipient to send out four more.
The scheme worked admirably. Miss
Schcnck. in blissful ignorance of the
mathc .natical progression involved In
hep plan. soon began To receive u heavy
mail daily. The number OF letters In
creased rapidly. and before many
weeks she was receiving more than
10000 n day. Enclosures in postage
stamps. pennies. nickcls, dimes. quar-.
tiers. half-dollars. bills and checks
ranging from one cent TO $4,000. and
when the nincty.ciglith series began
coming In the amount aggregated over
$4,000. 1t was estimated that IL the
chain was kept up til the ono hun.
tlrcdth series of letters was received In
full. the total number Of letters would
have exceeded the total population of
the world.

Sometimes people are inclined to sneci

countries for fighting SO much with

have done quite little In that line our

not long since showed to his own salts
