o. HENRY,s READING

The late 90 Henry" whose flippant
and slangy stories gave him a great
reputation as a humorist, was in pri-
vate life a serious student.
A visitor to the library of Mr.. Por-
ter's New York residence was amazed
at the ponderous histories and biogra-
phies on every side.
But don't you read" said the Wis
itor, ellis Parker Butler and writer's
of that sort?"
well. no. said Mr.. Porter.
He laughed and added whimsically
"I make fancy cakes and sell them,
but 1 eat only bread and meat" -

JUST GIRLS

Girls like freckles-on their rivals
face.
We've known cooking school girls
who didn't pan out we'll.
Girls who carry watches in their
belts are guilty of wasting their time.
A girl with coral lips generally finds
some fellow eager to corral them.
Some girls can stand a man who is
dissipated if his fortune isn't.
A girl who has a large circle of
friends naturally runs around good
deal.
When a girl objects to being kissed
IT'S a sure sign that the wrong fellow
is trving.-Boston Transcript.

PRINTED DETAILS OF CRIME
AFFECT MORALS OF NATION

Editor Herald: | suppose newspapers
in many instances are themselves ig-
norant of tie great influence for good
or evil they exert on the community.
Many of them obviously cater to the
basest impulses in human nature by
sensational writeups on war, vice and
crime. 1t has become a common say
ing that crime, like epidemics, has be-
come contagious. Robberies, holdups,
embeZzlements and murder committed
l.. one section of the community often
are repeated in almost identical form
in other sections of the community.
The honest inquirer, unacquainted with
psychological science, is often sorely
puzzled to understand the causes of
these strange occurrences.
The description of crime in its
CHASTITY details, the recounting of the
deft and cunning of the forger nared
in large headlines before the readers
of newspapers, are powerful psyche
logical inf --ces-influepces which Of
ten magnetic the unbalanced and
morally weak to commit similar acts.
But it is we'll to remember that the
influences which are instrumental in
inducing immortality and crime in indi-
viduals will, when rightly directed, in
duce virtue and integrity. These In
fIuences are at the bottom of all re-
form and deform. Newspapers con-
~ ually use them to stimulate and
sway the public, very often to the eX-
tent of criminality. The yellow news
ma aoers of America are responsible for
more depravity and crime than any
other Artificial cause that can be
named. p. A. JENSEN.
