cation, detailing his trials and tribuia-
tons, but as he states, neither time nor
space could adequate for expression of
his woes. There IL a pathetic strain
through his letter. especially when he
tells oftlis rapidly thinning frame, owing
to the demands made on his nervous
energy. For inssance,h he recalls one night
IN the past week when he was sum
moncd out OF warm bed to answer the
night call, and was confronted 1T the
street door by sporty. young man
afflicted with husky Jag, who asked
permission to use the telephone TO call
hack. In noting his answer to the
sporty young man. the drug clerk uses
several dashes and exclamation points.
Further, in his letter, he goes into the
postage stamp problem. but as that Is
too well known for Identification, his
views are passed by without comment.
One would hardly believe, however, that

year-old the other day, in greeting his
grandfather and grandmother, remarked
ut their failure to bring his cousins. In
this wise:
Say, gran'pap. en- grau'ma, why
didn't you bring the kids?"
or course the old people laughed at
the young hopeful. strurting out for the
first time in short pants, but waving
aside their smiles, the grandfather, serl-

in boat, and started for the Buckeye
commonwealth. They gave cry of
"Heave off" like hardy mariners OF the
deep, and singing merrily bent to the
oars Ordinarily, they would have made
the distance In short order, but after
rowing for half an hour, they began to
seek n compass for their bearings The
fog was so dense they couldn't tell which
way the needle pointed, so they pulled
on. An hour later, the man Mt the bow
cried, "a light" The other men re-
doubled their work at the oars But the
light had vanished. Another hour had
passed by. and yet no sign OF land. The
men grew desperate. All were married
and they thought OF homes and fond
wives and happy children. The fog
hadn't broken, and there, they were cast,
adrift oil the open main. Answering to
the thought. n hardy sailor threw his
hat overheard to catch the current. All
peercd over to sec. but the hat like the
boat and Its occupants was envcloped
in the fog,
Lets pull Just one way for our lives"
called the man at the stern.
Agreed" said the Others, and with
added desperation they strained their
backs. They rowcd like demons, and as
the keel grated on the gravel ut Inst,
there was n general elgh OF relief. Out
they lcapcd on shore. and up the bank
they went. II was natural they should
use strong language, 70 find they were

Ing that early that morning they had set
sail from Thirty-nlnth street for the
