VD ges tells of an old Ger
 man who had a boy of whom he was very proud, and decided to find out the trend of his mind. He adopted a novel method by which to test him. He slipped into the boys room one morning and placed on his table a bottle of whis- key, a Bible and a silver dol lar. "Now," said he, when dot boy comes in if he takes dot dollar he's going to be a beeznis man; if he takes that Bible he's going to be a preach CT; If he takes dot whiskey he's no good, and going to be l drunkard.' Then he hid behind a door to see which his son would choose. In came che boy whistling. He rau up to the table picked up fhe Bi- ble and put it under his arm, then snatched up the bottle, took two or three drinks, pick d up the dollar and put it in his pocket, and went out smacking his lips. The Dutch nan poked his head out from behind the door and exclaimed "Mein Got, he is going to be politician.

Herald, that four of every five persons who address communications to the news papers prefer to sign fictitious rather than their real names to the articles? Even to the best letters whose subject mat ter is timely and eminently sensible, the writer modestly avoids credit for his sugges- tions under some nom de plume.
 This custom is so common as to occasion no comment and is, of course, proper enough, but reflection will show that any article loses something of it's value by be- ing subscribed by any one ot the hundred names familiar to the press.
 To put an article in the papers without going sponsor for 1t by signing the right name IS to cause the article to be regarded with suspicion, while a letter of less merit which is signed by the writer will often carry far more weight and have greater influence.
 If, therefore, one wishes to advocate some plan or policy, or to suggest some improve 1nent or urge some reform, his chance of succeeding by means of a communication in the press will be considerably greater if he attaches his right name to what he writes.
 This does not mean that articles signed by a pen and accompanied by the authors real name ought not to be pub lished, but what Is here set down is rather to urge cores pondents to do their utmost toward having their letters accomplish the purpose inten- ded by giving to them the in huence of the authors sigma ture and the benefit of the re- putation which he enjoys in the community,
 There are many men whose names signed to a communi- cation half a dozen lines in length would have more in- fuence than page of unsign- ed letters.
