the st. Louis Post-Dispatch and asked
the Denver Post to reprint it.
An injunction to have the letter
published has frightened some into
whose hands 1t has fallen, and like
the old chain prayer it threatens mis-
fortune on those who deliberately
withhold it from others. The belief
that Christ really gave the letter to
be spread broadcast has inspired
many to aid in giving it publication.
The story is that little child turned
the stone under which the letter was
hidden, and that the document was
gwen to convert to the Christian
faith.
Must Be Printed.
This convert kept it as sacred
n.emento Of Christ and down through
generations in his family 1t was until
1000 years were passed. Misfortune
attended the family always, according
to the tale. and at last one of the
members came to America, bringing
the letter with him. Mrs. Fannie
Workman Of Marion, Ind, claims to
know the history of the document
from that time on. According to her,
the owner of 1t went to Virginia and
after series OF misfortunes the last
of the family passedout. A Mrs.
Thompson, neighbor of the family,
took the letter and had 1t published
in the Rome, Ca, Tribune of Oct. 81,
1891. Mrs. Workman cut 1t out and
kept it in her home She made no
attempt to have 1t republished until
lately and says that she was punished
for her failure to give it publicity.
Mrs. Rubin Crutchfield of Treze-
want, Tenn, is another who says she
suffered misfortune until she printed
the letter. The document says:
Sabbath Observance.
'Whosoever works on the Sabbath
day shall be cursed. command you
to go to church and keep holy the
Lords Day without any manner of

spend your time in bedecking your

A NEwLY.wED AND HER DOG

What little things can sometimes
upset the happiness of new home!
And how unconscious husband and
wife are of the danger until the dam
age is almost beyond repair!
A certain bride of few weeks after
her marriage secured little dog.
lonesome. and she wanted the dog
for company. So into the home came
this cute little puppy.
For few weeks all went we'll, al
though the husband did not take
any too kindly to the puppy's chew
ing his slippers. ripping his best UNI
brella to shreads and going out
through the screen door without the
ceremony of opening it. Mosquitoes
are bad in that section, and screen
doors with a hole big enough for a
puppy to go through are of little
value.
However the head of the house
kept fairly quiet on the subject, be-
lieving his wife would soon come to
her senses about the dog. But the
habit Of petting and caressing an an
final grows on some women, and 1t
wasn't long before the dog began to
rule the house. He was brought to
the table at mealtime, he was allowed
to track mud and dirt over every
thing with his little pattering paws,
he was Rugged and kissed and cares
sed ad nauseum.
Naturally. the husband began to
protest decisively. But the wife OBJ
stinately refused to discipline the dog,
or to mend her ways regarding him.
The husband took the matter in hand,
and then WHEY wept softly and said
] he was q brute. . ..
