The Victim of the Blue Pencil.

To the Editor of the New York Times: One could scarcely help laughing over Lurana SheIdon's let ter of January 15 regarding the Typographical error-ist,' and his lu- dicrous results. However, poets are not alone in their misery. Tn story which I sold to one of the New York papers some time ago the editors did considerable blue-pencilling I should not have objected had it been done carefully. But toward the end of the story, where my hero and heroine meet for a pathetic love scene, the blue penciller has made a most astound- ing tableau by cutting out a para graph The hero knocks at the hero ines door-with his overcoat on and a hat in his hand. The heroine opens the door with a glad cry and then she pulls a pillow from the settee and sits at his feet, evidently. thanks to blue pencilling, while he still stands in the doorway, hat in hand. A charming love scene!
 As if that were not enough, my simple, poverty stricken. plain looking heroine is completely transformed by the illustrator into a sinuous, jewell bedecked, marevolus creature

EouALIzINa TAXES.

The town Of Norwalk has equalized taxes and done ft right The town wakes up to find that the grand list has been increased by 33,000,000 by the board of assessors. The Hour says 'ft is a good thing" and 1t might have said. it is also just
 The Norwich assessors have been equElizing taxes by making them more unequal for several years, now, and every year the grand list is pushed up a half million or so. The result is that some parts of the city have wit messed two increases to one increase in other sections and no increase in stiI1 other sections; the fact is that a part Of the citizens have been pay ing increased taxes for several years, while the others were hoping that the increase would never reach them Three years of high taxes in one sec ton to three years of low taxes in another section never yet spelled Justice" It is the best Norwich as- sessors could do and as assessors run, chore may be small reason for com plaant about them; but the assessors of NorTak must be extraordinary men, for they grappIed with the prob lem Of equalization and at one swoop they put the increased burden on, and the people of that famous place are to be congratulated upon the fact that it Is no worse. They have done the trick in good shape and deserve to be highly commended.
 But what is the board of relief go- ing to dor It may yield so easily to thS influences which operate, that the equalization of the one board is upset hy the judgment of the other.
 The task Of equalizing the tax list in any town is difficult, and we sus- psct that the best equa1ized tax list h the state will stin show up many fmperfections.

TiIIman Is Not MalI.

They say at Washington that Sem ator TilIman has laid aside his pitch fork on account of health. Not once during this session has the South Carolinan come to the front. He sits on his spine, deep in his chair. and pays but little attention to what goes on. They say Tiilman is a sick man. He has not fully recovered from the attack of illness which caused such sincere alarm last winter. The doctor has warned TiIlman to avoid stress and excitement. His heart is said to be in no condition to withstand the strain of heated debates and contro- versies of the kind in which he used to revel-HoIyoke Transcript.

 Selma shrugged her shoulders. "Et iss anudder boy in Minnesota, too" she remarked. calmly. He iss pretty not like Peter. He got red cheeks and a hole in his face. I show you his picture"
 She went swiftly away to her own room and brought back a photograph of a good-natured round-faced young man with a deep din1pIe in his chin.

Her Wonderful Memory,

When she returned, in reply to her mothers Interrogation as to the subject of the text, she re- was, was Don't be Scared; You'n Get the Quilt" Questioning failed to throw any light on the matter. Some days later the mother met the pastor, who, in answer toN her request for the sub ject of his last sermon, replied, -'1t was, madam, Fear Not; Ye Shall Have the Comforter Buffalo Commercial.

bird Peter N1eIS CnrlStldn.
 It was a matter of tears to Selma. when, just before she departed, she was forced to give up taking Peter NieIs Christian with her. Her girl friends had brought so many pres ents to send home that a second suit case had been necessary, and there was no hand left to carry a birdcage-
 The F1etchers comforted her as best they could by promising to take good care of Peter during her absence, and they kept their promise. When she came back last fall a sleek. well-fed bird greeted her with a trin so loud and excited that she was certain she had been recognized and welcomed.
 He know his mudder; I tank so." she said to Mrs. Fletcher with the de- light of a, child. as she stood by the cage listening to Peters shrin notes. q tank I call him Peter all time now not Niels-not Christian. Niels, he stay in Sweden. He not like to come to Chicago. And Christian. he iss in Minnesota. Peter, he iss in Chicago"
 She took her accustomed place in the Fletcher household, but there were signs from the first that her stay would be short, for Peters visits grew more and more frequent

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
MAKING A CHOICE

Selma is not a hirt, whatever this story may indicate. She is a whole some-looking girl, with a practical eye to the future and a tender heart, well concealed.
 When she first presented herself in Mrs. Fletcher,s kitchen she was oar- rying brass bird cage. Though bird cages never before had been a part of the cooks luggage in the Fletcher household, there was that about Selma which made it seem to be erninently worth while to accept her canary with her.
 What is your birds name?" Mrs. Fletcher asked, after the pet had been installed in the buffers pantry win dow.
 Peter NieIs Christian" was the re- ply-and not until three years after ward did Mrs. Fletcher understand the full significance of that name.
 By that time Selma had come to be an almost indispensable member of the Fletcher family, and the fact that she was getting ready to go back to her old home across the ocean for the sum- mer was a matter of general unselfsh interest as well of general selfish re- sret. Every Thursday she kept bring ing home new additions to her already we'll stocked wardrobe and exhibiting them to Mrs. Fletcher and the others with the confidence of a daughter of the house.
