East Bernard Texas Dear Haphammer:
] As II has been a long time since l have
written | viii endeayor 10 write again,
read SO many Of the Haps' letters it makes
me want to write. Mrs. Foster always
writes such instructive letteN | love 10
. read them. William Naught said was not
! It sad about President Mckinley being
shot? I. too. say was not II done IN a
cowardly manner? But had an uncle
| killed In just as cowardly way as that hut
I think the one that's killed Is bet
ter on than the one who does me kl!ilng,
for God says Thou shalt not kll. The
assassination of President Mckinley re-
minds one Of how Judas betrayed Christ,
and there are Just such people among ns
to this very day. Oh, would not it be
nice If we were all good. Will close and
