 Whiteplains, September 21, 1904.
 Dear Friend Moses: I expect if the Lord is willing, to start to St Louis to- morrow, and 1 wish, if you can, that next Sunday you would go up to my hill pasture and salt my young stock there. l always go up there every 'ther Sunday, and hate to disappoint chem. You will need salt for 10, and you will find them expecting me in the corner by the road. Be sure and see that the speckled heifer gets her share. t'll make it right with you when I get blck. Yours respectfully, Seth. FROM THE BURLINGTON MERCURY:

 SELMA WHITE TO MARIA BLACK.
 St Louis, September 25, 1894.
 My Dear Maria: We'll, of all the places St Louis and the fair is, you never saw the beat. You can't imag- inc it, and can't tell you. Oh, the. miles and miles travelled to get here. My head hasn't stopped jogging yet. And, oh, the weary miles and miles and miles on the fair ground, and the tired women and children and the llmping men and the crying babies! and oh, Maria, the fair; and the la- gOOn! and the fountains! and the Pike! and the Mississippi water and the food and the drink and the hotels! can't express my sentiments on this occasion and don't know if can ever tell you what I've seen and haven't seen.
 We'll, there I've worked of steam and now I'll go back and try and tell it all. We'll, we left White Plains last Wednesday,. I said we, because Seth Green out of pure cussedness took that day to go along too. Did you See that item in the Mercury about it? Wasn't it just awful.
 We went down to Greenfield on the express and left there on the Conti- mental Flyer. I went in the Pullman. and when l went to get my supper, there was Seth Green in the day coach, eating turnovers and ginger snaps, out of a pasteboard shoe box. I nodded and he said, "Howdy, Selina," and of fered me some, but just passed on and he wanted to know if I had money enough-the idea! I'm going well provided with money. I've got $50 in belt around my waist under everything else, in case of accident. And I've got $50 more in pocket in my underwaist, and $1O in a pocket in my jacket, that I'd risk anybody to find. And I've got another lot of change in my dress pocket, and pocket in my underwaist to put my ticket and my watch in nights. shan't take off that underwaist. And I've got all that money besides my ticket that fetches me all the way and home through Canada. And if I want any more money I know where and how can get it.
 Well, Maria, I didn't sleep much that first night out. The surround ings were too new and strange, and l wanted to see the places through New York state, and especially the Niagara river, and so every little while when the train slowed up I'd wake up and | look out to see where we were at. When we got into Canada 1 didn't care so much and just settled down and went to sleep, and in the morning we were going along by Lake St Clair, and 1t was beautiful, just beautiful. We crossed the Detroit river on a ferry boat and it was fine. went out on the deck of the ferry boat and stood and looked at the spires and chimneys over in the city of Detroit, and the shipping, and got breath ot bright morning air. Seth was there, too,-and, say, Maria! he didn't dare leave that absurd little extension case of his, in his seat, but was Juggling it round with him on deck. He was standing gazing at the city with his mouth open and that extension case in his hand, and his eyes all red and bleary from sitting up all night in that day coach. It did make me mad l clear through to think he wouldn' t take a sleeper when he had plenty of money. Plenty.
 l was that mad I didn't stop to speak to him but just went off, and I | didn't see any more of him, except when went through the day car to the eating car, and saw him with his feet hanging over the arm of the seat and his head falling off the window sill and his mouth open, catching mi crobes, and snoring.
