John c. McAuliffe Appling. Ga.-Dear
Junior: ! will take for a subject CORES
pondence.' There is nothing more delight
full than reading nice letters, and only an
hour ago l finished series of letters from
two of my correspondents whom l think
would rank among the best in the list or
young American letter writers If they were
put to a test. 1t Is true that some may
be among the most common classes, but
one or two letters will reveal the character
of the writer. and woe is unto them that
weighed and found wanting, for the
pleasures of correspondence VIII not be
given unto them. Among the corrcspon-
dents who wrote in answer TO the sollci-
tations of my last letter in The JUNIOR
were boys of twelve and Old men Ot sew
cnty and girls world without end from
sixteen to twenty. Some of the old men
wished to know where they could obtain
a patent Churn, others desired information
concerning the hydraulic rams and of 9TH
er matters spoken of In my last letter
The Information was forwarded to them.
and as result Texas has at least one
hydraulic ram and Mississippi and Arkan-
Sls nave some of the fast butter-maklnS
churns Now as to the girls, l can truth
fully say that every letter l have received
has inspired me with a nobler, higher
thought The aspirations of my life nave
been placed on q grander scale: the emol-
umentS that | have gained in the sight or
my correspondents among the gentler sex
have not caused me to halt upon the plains
but rather they have given me fresh cour-
age and caused me TO begin anew the strug-
gle to reach the heights. Now, dear Ju-
n!ors, I ask you the question. what harm
has resulted to me?" Correspondents So

Anna Vance Peek. Mars Hill. N. C.-Dear
Junior: do not wish to boast Of our wo-
men too much but | do not think that
purer truer Drawer or more patriotic wO-
men ever lived than our own American
women. They are ready for any emergency
and are willing to make any sacrifice for
public interest Some one said:
There IS not a woman in the country
who would not have voted against the war
had 1t been left to q vote" I do not think
we are all of that opinion. l believe our
women are as jealous for our nations
honor as the men are and are willing to
stand by the sons of the republic in main
tanning it. One writer said she did not
the good the war would be. that it would
only rob our homes of our loved ones. Yes,
1t Will rob many homes of of their idolized
sons and fathers and husbands, but there
is q silver lining to the dark cloud that
hoVers over us, and let's try to look
through the darkness into the light. We
should remember that while sadness is
brought to us as a result Of interfering
on behalf of Cuba that those Cuban homes
were being made dcsolate by the spoiler
and those Cuban women and children have
tender hearts and loving friends as well
as we. Another thing, this was has result
ed in healing the wound which the civil
war inflicted and which alienatcd the north
ana south. but. thank God the war with
SPAN has been n precious ointment poured
upon the wound which has healed IT at
once Then too, when Cuba is freed the
principles Of republicansm will be spread
and it VIII be keeping in motion the wave
that Is To sweep on until despotism Is de-
thfoneQ and the banner of the free waves
over al the earth. 1t is for these principlps
that Hobson and our other heroes have
gwen themselves. God bless them and grant
them success.
