 President of the United States:
 Detailed reports received from Russia show that millions of people afflicted by a terrible famine are in a starving con- dition. All relief thus far organized has proved inadequate to cope with the great calamity which affects a region half as large as the continental territory of the United States. Unless early aid is forth coming the loss of life will be incalcul- able.
 with view of showing in helpful
 way the deep sympathy which the people of the United States feel for the people of Russia in their distress the Russian famine relief committee has been formed to solicit subscriptions in this country. Arrangements have been made by which the money solicited by this committee will go as directly as possible to the relief | of the suffering without delay or duplca- | ton.
 Confident of your sympathy for these , fellow beings we write to ask your aid | in calling the attention of the American people to the need of prompt contribu- l tions, and we shall be pleased if you can l see fit to recommend or suggest our com l mittee as the channel through which

 However during the past month city property is picking up from the slight de- pression consequent on the Christmas holidays and transactions are quite brisk"

 If he hasn't any there. Don't be fractious should he finger At the club till break of day Keep your temper when he stumbles And be careful what you say. Make one bonnet do per season, Try to pull through with one dress, And when you must spend nielSle, See if you can't do on less. Never cross him in his humors. Vow he is the dearest man, And when hubby's loud and brutal Bear his blows the best you can. Never argue with his lordship, Even when you know he's wrong; Always bow to his opinion
 That's the way to get along. Praise his virtues tho he hasn't Any trait that you can praise; Love him for his gentle manners, Tho he has the coarsest ways. Make him master absolutely,
 Be his ever faithful slave, With a great desire for cooking And a tendency to save. If you'll only treat him kindly, As you would g. horse or COW, Then your home life will be happy And you'll never have row.
