 His Letter of Introduction.
 One day a tall. gaunt stranger from Arkansas cornered Opie Read at the Press club. He began fishing about in his pockets.
 "Got letter of introduction to you hyarabout some 'ere." he said.
 "Had the darndest time findin you, " he continued. "Got into town yester- day afternoon, and last night started out to look you up. thought probably the folks at the telegraph office would know you, but they didn't And the hotel folks didn't know you nuther. Then went to a newspaper shop and , they sent me over here.'' By this time the visitor had found the missing letter of introduction. It was written with lead pencil in a schoolboy's hand and the spelling was decidedly phonetic. Opie scrutinized the signature closely.
 "John Scruggins," he said musingly, "John Scruggins. I don't recall MT. Scrugeins.'' ''
 "That's my boy," said the visitor proudly. "He's been to school in Little Rock all winter, and so when I got ready awhile ago to come to Chicago I told him to write me letter of intr'- duction to you, and he did it. What s the matter with the letter? Ain't it writ all right?''
 "Oh, yes, it's all right" said the novelist.
 And it was. for the man from Arkan- sas spent a pleasant afternoon at the club. Times Herald.
 A Great Book.
 There is ill Utica an old man of un. usual intelligence who Is known to have graduated from no college, and yet whose perfect English, including syn tax. orthography and pronunciation, would stamp him as an educated man in any company. One night this old man was seated in the rooms of the Oogburn club, when he consented to be interviewed as follows:
 "From whom did you get the founda- tion of your education?''
 "From Webster"
 Daniel Webster?''
 "No, but Noah Webster, through his spelling book. When I was 12, could spell every word in that book correctly. I had learned all the reading lessons it contains, including that one about the old man who found some rude boys in his fruit trees one day, and who, after trying kind words and grass, finally pelted them with stones, until tho young scapegraces were glad to come down and beg the old mans pardon" "Webster's spelling book must have been wonderfully popular 7"
 "Yes." And 8 genial smile lighted up the ancient face. "There were more copies of it sold than of any other work ever written in America. Twenty -four millions is the number up to 1847, and that had increased to 36. 900, 900 in 1860. since which time I have seen nc account of its sale. Yes, I owe my ed. ucation to the spelling book.
