In Story Land.

The happiest ramble in Story Land,
The merriest jaunt / know,
Is found when little boy takes my hand,
And tells me the way to SO:
For he knows the way, and can understand
The language and people OF Story Land.
But once we get started there's none to say
Just when shall stop. where
For many the places along the way,
But little the time TO spare.
The stations far into the scores may run
Yet we must be careful to miss not one.
So headlong hurry from town to town,
This glad little boy and l.
Till all OF a sudden the train slows down,
And stops, with a drowsy sigh
For the little conductor is fast asleep,
And lust one more story" II seems must keep

The autograph fiend Is the bane of the
successful authors life, for he generally
fails to even inclose return postage. In
this respect John Luther Long. the Phila-
delphia lawyer, who has turned his at
tention to literature, is no exception. Mr..
Long, however, tells of one experience so
unusual that 1t is worthy of preservation.
An express package reached him one day,
fully prepaid. He opened it, and it was full
Of double violets, fresh and fragrant. There
also inclosed a copy of his book, Mad
am Butterfly" and dainty note from a
young woman, requesting his autograph
on the hyleaf. This thoughtful young per-
son had not only placed a stamped and ad-
dressed wrapper around the book, but had
even inclosed a piece of string with which
to tie IT up again. ready for mailing, MIR.
Long says he never granted an autograph
request with such unfeigned delight.

 4 specially interesting feature of the National Council of Women. to be held 7 in Washington in February. will be the yieorous and sweeping protest the mem befs will make against the concentration caraps in South Africa and the suffering of the Boer women and children.
 A writer says: 'The fearful death rate In the South African camps. where, since May, the deashs among Boer women and children have risen from 30 to 1898. Is said to be due aImost entirely to the un- healthy condition of these camps. Into thooe places of torture no physicians. nufses or charitably minded visitors are permitted to go.
 '~The War once has forbidden 1t. This ofice also refuses the removal of tho cap tiv6S to the seashofe or to some other healthy place under the care of q neutral c0mmittee such as the Red Cross.
 certain women of Great Britain. mem bers of the International Council of wo- men, have recently made definite efforts looking to the relief Of these helpless vic- tims of the Boer war. Resolutions ap-, proving these efforts have been adopted by certain Western branches of the Na-l tionaI Council.
 'In all probability these same resolu- tons will be adopted by the National Council of Women during its February session.
 Mrs. Gaffney. the President of the Ma tional Council of Women, in recom- mending the matter to the various branch councils. says:
 slt seems eminently fitting that women throughout the world should protest against the holding of native women and children in camps under the control or protection of the enemy, thus practically using them as involuntary hostages to induce surrender or check certain meth- ods of warfare.
 'swhatever may have led to the estab- liehment of these concentration camps. their existence along or near railways Is undoubtedly now a strategic element of immense advantage to those in control.
 s'Such camps. in point of fact. create a barrier against the destruction of rail- ways. or the cutting off of food supply by the allies of those thus confined, since according to the ethics of war. these con- centration camps would first be sacrificed % starvation
 '"Thus any venture to overcome the army controlling a camp must be under taken at the risk of aiding further sui fcring to the helpless victims of the con- centrAtion system.
 "A precedent for this strategic use of women and children once established in the conduct of military operations will threaten the safety of women hereafter In any iana where war may obtain.
 Therefore, not only in the name of humanity, but in the name of woman as exempt from war, let our voice be raised in protest against these camps.
 Let our influence so out not only for peace but for justice while war lasts; and may our present help be rendered with no scant or unwilling hand to feed and clothe our sisters and their young who are now suffering in these conoen- traticn camps the awful consequences of war"
