The Candy Boy and
His Little Love
BY HARRIET BOYER


If my mother loved you, she
plunged into letter anywhere-and
out of it anywhere,
In large old, black-leather pocket
book l found letter written to my
father the night before they were be-
trothed. 1t had neither formal be-
ginning nor ending, but ran simply
thus:
Don't be silly about the candy bust
ness, Dickie, even If my father did
rub 1t in rather. He won't do it again,
because-Ill come to that presently.
And if it will make you feel any
better, / will tell you little secret.
If 1t weren't for that candy business
my heart would not be so unspeakably
and unalterably yours. And this is the
way of it: When / was tiny girl
and lived on Blocker street, and you
were small boy and sold candy by
the ounce, over the counter in your
fathers old corner shop so near at
hand, / used to come to you to buy
sweets. And you would say, with the
most beautiful brogue:
"Wud We be havin' the wintergreen
shticks, miss, or the peppermint, or
thrife of both?" Oh, yes you would
l always took ''thrif1e of both" And
while you were weighing it, and put
ting 1t into nice white paper, ad tying
1t up, was just doting on you--your
tight little blond curls, your brave
blue eyes, your straight nose, your
pink cheeks, your strong white teeth.
And you had funny hicks on your
hands, as if you had been playing
with the cat or somebody had been
driving tacks into you. l reproduced
those hicks on my own hands pain
fully, with large pins, until held up by
mother, who blamed our dear, inno-
cent Tom. Then Mercy and Truth
met together, and l was obliged to
confess When asked why ! desired
to hurt and disfgure my poor little
paws, which were being tenderly
.anointed with soothing unguents, I
answered that / thought the hicks
were pretty. My mother did not ar
que 1t out with me. She made me
wear gloves until my hands were
healed did not like gloves, and soon
after that we moved away. How did
you get those hicks, Dickie? l see
they are clean gone for ever, and at
first quite missed them. When my
brother talked, rapturously of his
chum at Harvard who was to enter
law at the same time as himself, I
did not know that the Richard Fol-
lott, OF Stuyvesant square, whose
father was the rich manufacturer of
Irish linens, with works at Belfast
and warehouses in New York; did
not know that this Richard Folliott
was my small candy boy. That is,
not until you entered the parlor that
Sunday, and I recognized the tight
little blond cur]s, and the soft little
brogue into which you tumble when
ever you are slightly embarrassed.
Oh, yes, you do. And then, Dickie,
dearest, knew that had loved you
for years and years, and you had
never known it. For the matter of
that, neither had |.
And It was brave and beautiful in
you to tell my father all about the
candy business, though, If you hadn {,
good-by to me.

little daughter in his arms, and told
her she mustn't cry for the moon,

DISHONEST ADVERTISING

Honest publishers cannot afford
 to publish a dishonest advertise
 ment in their papers. To do so is
 to become party to a fraud and
 to destroy the faith of their read
 CTS in advertising. Fourth Es-
 tate.
 So true is this that the saying of 1t may naturally cause wonder. Why should the Fourth Estate, which deals exclusively with the affairs of news paperdom, feel called upon to proclaim that manifest truism?
 The explanation is simple. Newspa- pers throughout the country--usually one, at least,i every community think they can afford to publish dishonest ad- vsrtising and ''become party to a fraud" Such newspapers feel no mor- al obligation to their readers in the premises, but enter readily into the schemes to victimize them by exploit ing frauds and fakers--for pay.
 once the faith of the reading public is destroyed in advertising, then the honest advertiser suffers.
 It Is the newspapers that scrutinize their advertising columns, as well as their editorial and news columns, and thus keep faith with their readers that rigidly exclude dishonest adver tising-that arc really the mediums worth while for the legitimate adver. tiser.

 fitting, as 1t were.''
 If that is intended for sarcasm, it is ungracious and undeserved; if in- tended for joke, it's author knows not whereof he speaks, be his heart ever so kind and his motives ever so worthy.
 Unless evil days have fallen upon Georgia, the barbecue rendered the president elect was one of those won derful things more daintily and delight fully strange than all ths strange things in heaven or earth e'er dreamed of in Horatio's poor philosophy. A Georgia barbecue is Georgia barbe- cue; thers is nothing else it can be hkened to. It's fame far surpasses all the renown of its near neighbors in this regard, indeed. For, as good as they may be, and as they probably are, nobody outside of shs State named ever heard of an Alabama barbecue, or q Florida barbecue, or Tennessee bar becue!
 Mir. Taft will live long, we hope. and prosper much in every wise, but We sus- pect he will never regale the inner man with anything more to his taste than that piece of brown and tender barbe- cusd lamb he partook of on the occa- sion herein considered. It was, VIC firm ly believe, carved-hacked out with a hatchet, really-from that sacred sec ton amidships, just so far from the hiud quarter and just so far from the shoul- der; precisely and exactly there. This zenith of the days gustatory ecstasy may have been preceded by a portion of Brunswick stew, though not neces- sarily so. It may have been followed by glass or two of beer, though not necessarily SO.
 Tradition has it that this latter fsa- ture has been suspended once or twica of course; and it may have been at this time, in view of certain utterances lately emanating from the distin- gushed honoree. These details are nei- ther here nor there, anyway; it is about the savory viands that our interest cen ters and most strenuously concerns it. self.
 Nowhere south does the democracy of good fellowship turn itself loose so completely as about the barbecue pit. Every participant in his fellow-partici- pants peer. There is no intrusion of rank and station; no pomp and circum- stance of power. Restraint is cast to the winds, and everybody says just what he thinks, in whatever way he wants to, without the slightest fear that he will be called down, quoted to his discomfort afterward, or in any manner subsequently, embarrassed what soever. In fact, if he says anything he ought not to have said, and 1t bobs up to alright him next day, be may depend upon any number of stanch auditors swearing until they are black in the face that he never said any. thing of the kind, if such testimony seems needful or desirable.
 The only thing that beats a Georgia barbecue is another Georgia barbecue, and it is admitted that every one is
