At the Waldorf they are telling this
story of a Pittsburg millionaire who is

Tribune.
''Too bad father has to go to bed at
nine every evening" said the son.

Wonder if he goes to sleep right away,
or if he'd like us to stay and talk to him?'

Then they went out into the night in

When they. were finally seated about q

HOW KATIE
GOT a LETTER


Katie is little girl just four years
old. One morning her Aunt Sue took
her to the pOstoff1ce. They do not live
in city where the letter carriers bring
the mail to the houses, but In a large
town where all have to go to the post
office to get their mail.
When they reached the Office Aunt
Sue asked the clerk at the window if
there was letter there for her. He
went back into the room and looked.
Pretty soon he came back and said:
eyes, there is one for you," and gave
it to her. Then they went home, and
Aunt Sue read her letter.
One day about a week after that Ka-
tie was feeling very lonesome. There
was no one she could play with, and
she had played alone until she was
tired. Aunt Sue had gone to the city
for day. All at once Katie thought:
"Oh, I'll go down to the postofice and
get letter. That will be such nice
fun"
She knew where the postoffice was,
and as the town was a quiet one she
was often allowed to go as far as that
alone. She took her smallest dolly with
her for company and started out. When
she came to the Office she went, up to
the window. For quite a little while
the clerk did not know she was there.
She was SO small that her head did not
not see her.
BY and by he heard some one say in a
very small voice, Mister"
Then the clerk went to the window
and saw Katie and said:
What do you want, little woman?'
He was very good natured clerk and
liked little boys and girls.
"If you please, sir" said Katie, 81
want a letter"
What is your name?" asked the
clerk.
Katie Bishop"
ooh, yes" the man said, and went
and looked in the boxes. Then he came
and told Katie there was no letter for
her that day.
Sc she had to go home without any
All the time she was wondering what
the reason was that she could not get
a letter like Aunt Sue. After awhile
she thought
Perhaps they have to buy them the
same as they do candy. I'll go and
see."
Now, that very morning Aunt Sue
had given Katie cent for doing an err
rand for her, and this cent, strange to
say, was not yet spent, but was safe
at home.
Katie went home got the money and
came back to the Office. The clerk was
at the office this time, and she put her
money upon the shelf, saying:
please, mister, if you can buy a let
ter for a cent want one"
When he heard that the clerk laugh
ed and said:
mo, you can't buy a letter for a cent,
but you can take your money and go
down to the store and buy some candy.
Then if you stop when you come back
| rather think there will be a letter
here for you"
So Katie did as he said, and when
she came back, in about ten minutes,
sure enough, there was a letter in
real envelope, directed in a nice, plain
hand, to Miss Katie Bishop" In the
envelope was lovely card with a pic
ture and some verses on it.
Where do you suppose it could have
come from ?-Philadelph Ledger.

"A exchange says there is talk
of introducing the study of reading,
writing AID arithmetic into the
public schools again and eliminat-
ing water color painting, rafia,
bead and basket work and other
high art occupations. There is a
growing impression that child
who can read and do fractions is on
the road to better education than
one who can make basket that
any half-breed squaw would be
ashamed to own.
A plea for the GIRL school
teacher who is required by the in
considerate rural school district
officers to build fires and sweep
floors was made in the convention
of county school superintendent at
Madison last week by L. w. Wood,
state inspector of rural schools.
He declared it to be wrong that
young women hired for the work OF
education should be subjected to the
unpleasant and unreasonable work
of country school janitor.
But little business was tran
sacted at special meeting of the
city council called for Tuesday
evening. A crossing will be con-
