BOY JOURNALISTS.
J. NJ. Beck and Others Ask to Have
 Postal Rules Changed.

J. NJ. Beck and Others Ask to Have Postal Rules Changed. James NJ. Beck. Timothy L. Wood, ruff. Charles H. Young and number of other busy men ill New York, who in earlier days edited and published amateur journals and magazines, have appealed to President Roosevelt to use his influence to have amateur publica- tions admitted to the privileges of sec ond class mail matter.
 Mir Young, who is president of the Fossils, an association of, men who were interested in amateur journalism prior to 1889, wrote this letter to the president, explaining the situation:
 By other enclosures of this date mail a few examples of the printing and editing of amateur journals anG magazines of the present time. With this I enclose a letter of the Hon Iished like sheet, and letter of E. NJ. Lind, the present official head of amateur journalism.
 Tt is the only school beyond the grammar school to which many Ameri- can youths ever attain. Its field of ac- tivity is very much circumscribed at present, because the postottice depart, ment will not send the publications through the mails at newspaper rates as they used to do in the days when Mir Beck and myself were identified with the printing and editing of like sheets, twenty-five years ago.
 in order to accomplish the result of encouraging such effort, no change in the law is required, merely change in the rules. made to enforce the law as it exists. The rules have been nar- rowed to keep advertising sheets from going through the mails at newspaper rates. and have resulted in keeping out the only papers and magazines which contain no advertisements whatever.
 Il feel assured from my acquaint, ance with you that if in the multitude of larger things you have to occupy your time and attention, you could give this matter a few moments. thought. you would open the door for the youth of America, and give them the opportunity which only the well to do can now afford. but which in my time was embraced by the poorest Of poor boys"

War Poem by the Mikado.

IThe emperor of Japan from his early youth has always been an enthusiastic votary in that art so highly esteemed in Japan of writing poetry. His majesty has wonderful facility of Improvisation. and the number of short odes and stanzas composed by him is said to amount to thousands. Recently one of the leading dailies fin Tokyo published his majesty's latest composition. which has to do with the war. This translation Is taken from the Japan Gazette.l
 The flower of youth sail bravely forth.
 And. fighting still. they will not yield. While women wait from south to north And feeble age must till the field. Our peoples prayers with hopeful heart
 In full sincerity expressedD
 Must answer find in whole or part,
 Our cause above be surely blessed. This troublous state on sea and land
 We must deplore and fail to see The reason why nor understand,
 But crave with all-fraternity.

CHOOSING A WIFE

CHR HENRY SILVERING was man C of immense purpose and little full. dllment; indeed, his intention to do so or to die and his inability ever to ac- complish were so we'll known that he was playfully called "Sir Headstrong, ' not only by his intimate friends and ene- mics, but by the servants in the houses where he visited. Possibly no man had ever, at his age-which was 26-com- menced so many imposing undertakings with an unmistakable not of determine. tion in his manner and allowed them to gently flicker out when he was satisfied that there was a remote possibility of their ultimate success. ~-- --'1~i :
 At this moment Sir Henry Silvering was sitting at dining table in his club, opposite his downright and unmistaka- bly, common-sensed friend, John Bol- ero. Sir Henry had just made one of his sudden and wholly unexpected an nouncements, and, with narrowed lids he was regarding the first development of ash at the point of cigar.
 "The deuce you are!" exclaimed John Boldero, bluntly.
 "Yes-marry," repeated Sir Henry. "And then shall go into parliament, take up agriculture, revive the British farmer, undersell the American market, and knock the fiscal fizzle on the head. ''
 "Who is she?" inquired Boldero, look ing at him keenly.
 She is one of natures ladies'" pro- nounced Sir Henry. with beautiful rev erence.
 Boldero laid his cheek upon his arm and groaned, for. these were the very words that Sir Henry had used three years ago, when he had all but carried

She stands at the head of that aristocratic grouF which was playfully christened the Lovely Five.' the other four being Lady Warwick, Lady Lytton, Lady Westmoreland and the duchess oi Sutherland.
 The Essex peerage is not in these days a conspicuously wealthy one. The earl inherited only 15,0OO acres ', and tastes which demanded more money to gratify than his rent roll furnished. As young man the fin- ishing touches to his education were obtained in that swellest of all regi- ments, the Guards. whose officers are more distinguished for going the pace" than for devotion to those stud ies which in this age of scientific war fare are essential to success in the profession of arms. The lessons learned in that costly school he has not ceased paying for yet. Of late years there have been many evidences that his financial condition was fast approaching "hard pan" coupled with rumors that the countess was sorely grieved at his failure to put a curb on his extravaganza and settle down to taking life seriously. Only a few months ago 1t was recorded that he had sold the richest of the three church livings to which he has the right of appointing an incumbent. And now. because of his need of ready cash. 1t is reported that he has taken steps to dispose of his Irish property to his tenantry.
 Meanwhile Lady Essex has been set ting him an example of beneficent &C., tivity which has led many to think that she is by long odds his better half. Some time ago she established a model laundry in one of London's suburbs. It was run on business lines. but 1t was relieved from the charge of be- ing purely money-making speculation by the fact that it was preceded by a painstaking personal investigation of sanitary conditions in London laun. dries which was largely instrumental in inducing the London county council to adopt measures for their reforma- tion- Tn other directions she has shown keen practical interest in the condition of London's toiling legions. And the experience she has gained should prove of great value to her 1us- band in dealing with the problems that will come before him as . member of the county council.
