New York. wonder II Mr. LoebH
wri'e book now about Hunting IN
the Great Vest? If so, I'll bet Mr.
Roosevelt doesn't write an introduction
for Il. Did you see, Job, what the
food bin for those Peace COnferencers
was at The Hague-s0mething ike q
half a million dollars. Just think OF
It, and We can't even pay our dinky
little grocery bill I'd Ike 10 know
what they ate that cost so much: I'll
wager there weren't any prunes on their
bin Of farel
I suppose that Boston tailor thinks
he's smart inventing a new sort Of
trousers for men with a secret pocket;
as II we poor women didn't have
hard enough time Of Il the way things
Is. Not that any secret pocket'd ever
hinder me. II you ever came home with
any money don't remember It. except
on pay days, and reckon I get most
Of that any way. But, Job. I do wish
you'd get hold Of some extra money
some way: the tradespeople are Just
wearing out the door bell ringing 4
all the time. I wish we had law ike
that one out in Manchuria, where they
fine a bill collector 5000 every time
he duns you. Ny lord! II our col
lectors were fined that way they'd have
to have the Standard OIL Company back
Of them TO pay the fines. II we had a
law ike that in this country, we could
promise not tell on the man who dunned
Us if he'd remit the bill, and that way
we could all get along all right
Say Job wasn't Il tough the way
they treated Gov Blanchard. Of Louisi-
ana. at the jamestown Exposition? L
seems he helped TO build the exposl-
ticn-that's about the only crime they
know Of against him-and when he went
there and called on the officials, they
sent back word they were not at home.
He's gone home mad, and no wonder.
The idea OF treating a governor like
that, And, besides that he's advertised
the exposition some more, because until
I read about the governor being mad at
the way he was treated, I'd thought
that the exposition was over. didn't
you? Newt Harding, O. Indianapolis,
was a coming down 10 90 TO the expo
sition, but some one told him that there
were no Hungarian glassblowers, and
not even one OF them twirling Dervishes,
and so he thought it warn't worth
while
Il wisht could have been at that
meeting the other day where Dr. Rich
ardson gave lecture on Making a
Methodist. bet Il was grand, though
I'd always thought that Methodists was
born; not made. They were talking
about religions at Sunday school last
Sunday, and they asked little Emily
how many kinds Of Methodists there
were, and what do you think that
child said? She told 'em there were
two kinds. male and female! Course. the
answer wasn't right but I think il was
awful smart. and the child only just
getting over her boils- wonder how
many kinds there are? Let's see.
know there's the Primitives. and the
African, and the Reformed, and.
reckon there must be more; but I'd Ike
TO have heard DR.. Richardson tell how
they were made.
i see that they've decided at last
10 have the Panama Canal wldened.
That's the influence Of the press again.
/ suppose. and Congress'H have 10 act
after Mr.. Bishops strong editorials in
the Canal Record. I should think when
they get the canal dug, they'd pass a
law foTbidding people 20 build ships so
fat that they couldn't so through. It'd
be a fearful thing TO have the commerce
Of the world delayed because of q fat,
old ship stuck in the middle Say. job.
when the canal is done and they turn
the water in, wouldn't il be terrible II
they should find out that one oceans
higher than the other. and the whole
Pacific Ocean should come tumbling
over on this side and drown out all
the coast cities. They'd see SOME sense
then. I reckon. In those skyscrapers.
The papers are beginning TO take
notice Of that Thaw case again. so [
suppose he's soon going TO have another
trial. They say his defense is going
10 be insanity. and hear that he's going
to prove that he must have been Insane
at the last trial OF ne d never have
hired all them lawyers. If they find
him insane, / wonder VIII they let him
go? If ne was in Texas I don't see
what they a do with him. for the Texas
insane asylums are all full, and If any
one goes crazy down there now reckon
they will Just have to let EN- keep On
working on the newspapers. I wonder
II Houston's got an insane asylum.
What's the matter. job; getting
sleepy again! Listen; haven't heard
any OF the foreign news yet. wish
you d tell me some before you fall of to
sleep. What are those Korean top-knots
that the japanese want to cut of? IF
they cut 'em OF. I wonder what
they'll do with all the hair? II they
pass law making the Koreans go
to the BARRIERS. should think Mr.. Hep
ner, Of New York-the man who makes
the theatrical wigs-wOuId hustle over
there and get his raw material cheap.
And. Job, wanted to know all about this
pragmatic sanction thing in Austria. /
asked Mr.. Folsom this afternoon, and
he blushed and said that he couldn't ex-
plain about il before ladies-and I was
the only woman there, too! I wish you'd
find out about It; it's something that's
going TO happen when the Emperor dies.
I believe. And about them scandals in
Germany; my, but I'd like 70 know what
it all means. even bought a copy Of
the New York Journal because they
sometimes print things Ike that; but I
guess it's too tame for New York.
Job; job! Don't so to sleep yet! Say.
did you wind theNclock? Did you look
In to see whether little HaIey's covered
up properly; he caught an awful cold in
the feet last night. Did you hang UP
your clothes properly? What did you co
with that milk bottle? Are you sure
you didn't leave any windows open
