Dear Aunt Laurie:
Wishing to find out whether or not
her little friend knew the value OF
money. whether he was careless or
careful, selfish or unselfish, lady one
day said to him. Sammy, if you were
left 500 by your uncle or aunt what
would you do with it?'
"But surely you would do something
with it, for if you kept it to save you
would be doing something with 1t.
Now Sammy, tell me, what would you
do with $100?"
"Nothin'," repeated Sammy.
"You know, Sammy, that if you gave
it to me you would be doing something
with it. Don't you understand, sam

"Well, then, what would you do with
it?"
"Nothin'," said Sammy again.
"What a dull boy you are, to be

well say your uncle or aunt gave you
one hundred nice new silver dollars
what would"
But they wouldn't give me the one

But there amt no supposln' ABOUT

PAYS OVERDUE MORTGAGE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was the last day of the school
year at Merton college and the last
day of Harry Spaulding's college ca
reer. After the goodbys were said he
boarded the train which would carry
him home to mother, Aunt Kate, Dor
othy and Mabel. He dearly loved his
home town, though it was a quiet lit
tie village.
The train pulled into the station and
before Harry knew it he felt soft
hand in his, and looking down, he
saw Dorothy. His mother was not
there or any of the others. Harry
thought he detected tear stains on
Dorothy's pale cheeks. AS they
stroiIed along the rough road he heard
a sob. and looking, he say the tears
streaming down her. pale face.
Dorothy, what is the matter?'
ooh, Harry, our home will be gone
in three days. Mr.. Howell said the
mortgage had gone long enough. That
is the reason the others did not come.
They felt so badly"
How much do we owe them?
"Two hundred and forty-eight dol
lars"
me and let me stop school and go
to work? ?"
Because mother Salu LOT you "
finish school. She said you would be
so disappointed
Harry remained silent, but that
night he made his way to Mr.. How
eli's who in the end allowed them
three months to pay it.
During those three months Harry
worked as he had never worked be-
fore. His hands became hard and
rough. The weeks few by and it was
three days before the time was up.
Harry had made only $150 He had
sos to make yet. 1t was Impossible,
and he felt detected and discouraged.
The day before the set time ne
went to Mr.. Howell and told him it
would be impossible to make it. His
pleading for a longer time was in
vain, and he rose and went home.
There was 500 left to him by his
Uncle Earl and the house was theirs,
for with the $1O0 he paid the mortgage

Annie, you might have made the
story more interesting at the place
where he comes home and finds the
500. OF course you didn't have many
more words; but it is better to leave
some out at other places in order to
have plenty for the climax.

is AMBITIOUS TO OWN A HOME

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If 1 had 500 left to me by an aunt
or uncle / would start in to get home.
1t seems to me duty that every one
at their earliest opportunity should
become the owner of home, no mat
ter how humble, free from all tncum-
brance.
If 1 had 500 and no home / would
lose no time in looking up the best bar
gain for a home and put my 800 down
as first payment and would not be sat
isfied until out of debt. History
states that John Howard Payne had
no home, but who can read the beau
tiful lines of "Home, Sweet Home"
and not feel that they came from his
innermost heart? He knew what
home really was, even IL he didn't pos
sess one.
If everyone, when they are young,
would make a resolution to own
home and keep that resolution con-
stantly in mind until 1t was an accom-
plished fact, how much happier we
all would be. Nearly everyone owning
his or her own home and the few
who were unsuccessful through sick
ness or i'll luck could be assisted by
those who were more fortunate, and
what a happy thought for those who
have never had pleasant home where
"The birds singing gayly that came

ter to the Junior November and will

future. RUSSELL WRITSMAN.

I have missed your letters, Russell.
Perhaps IL you do not find any of the
topics interesting you would like to
suggest some for me.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20
WOULD GIVE AWAY FLOWERS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The topic eff you were left 500 by
an aunt or uncle" makes me thlnk OF
the candy and ice cream store on the
corner. But am sure you VIII agree
with me, Aunt Laurie, that $1O0 spent
for candy and ice cream would make
the possessor feel queer pangs of pain
after he had eaten about 81 worth OF
choicest chocolates.
But, of course, there is not Junior
who would think of buying candy or
any other thing before he had spent
certain amount of it in going to see
you (of course, I would forgive them
if they took you box of it,, but any
way 1 would not claim relationship TO
any of my Junior cousins if they had
not spent some of their money in COM
ing to see you.
Next 1 should buy myself dear lit
tie nursery and on the first day of my
opening up I would give to each child
that came to see me Il would advertise
in the paper so they would be sure
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20

of my spare time to my chickens and
hatch chicks every year.
1 would save all my profits and
build more chicken houses, and hatch
chicks year after year until I had
10000 or 10000 laying hens.
1 wouldn't have to buy cold storage
eggs and I could live on fresh eggs.
Then l would look back over time
and see my first little bunch Of
chickens and my few hen houses, and
l would congratulate myself on having
such a generous uncle.

WOULD COMFORT SICK FRIEND

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I would put seventy-five dollars in
the bank and keep twenty-five dollars.
1 would use the twenty-five dollars for
food, fruit, clothing, shoes. stockings,
books, tablets and all kinds of useful
things. Sometimes l would go to the
matinees in the afternoons. Some
afternoons 1 would treat children.
Have a lot of parties.
I would have ice cream, cake, pie.
cookies, all kinds of fruit and make
candy. Molasses candy is the best to
pull. Then if had any left I would
buy something for sick friend and
make her happy. would buy nice
flower pot with pretty plant in it
or story book. Yours truly,

treat them to visit on the Pike.
would also go to the friends who live
on Boyle avenue and go with them
around Los Angeles. I would plan out
what I would give for Christmas pres
ents and save out enough to buy extra
nice ones this year.
Then would subscribe for The Her
aid. My brother takes 1t at the mill
downtown, but I don't get the Herald
Junior until Monday or Tuesday. If
took it out here I could write on Sun
day afternoon, which is most con-
venient for me.
Then last, but not least, would
come and visit you, so that my broth
er cannot say, "Poohi Writing to an
aunt you never sawl"

you would come and see me anyway.
If you only could
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20
WOULD DO MANY kINDNEssEs

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One hundred dollars seems a great
deal of money to be spent at once, but
when one begins to count up the
things that sum will buy it is soon
used up.
In the first place 1 would like some
nice new winter clothes-a new hat,
coat and dresses. Another thing I
would like to do is buy a bunch of
large chrysanthemums from a florist
on Signal Hill. These 1 would give to
my teacher in zoology, as she is the
one I like best.
Then 1 would take our family down
to the beach to spend the day and
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20

to Gomez little house plant. I should
have beautiful little cards sent out.
They should be of a light green color
with golden border and all over them
little roses should be painted. The fol-
lowing words should be written in
gold:
eye lover of flowers, harken to the
call of Madame Madeline, who invites
ye to explore her Flower Palace on
Ventry avenue"
That is the way I should spend my
800. Your niece,
MADELINE EVANS.
Venice, Cal.
I wish you would come to see me
soon, Madeline, even IL your uncle or
aunt doesn't leave you 800.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20
WOULD BE A FARMER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If my uncle died and left me
hundred dollars I would go to New
York city. would buy a piece of
land and start a farm. 1 would have
three or four cows, a few chickens and
a horse and wagon. I would have
some one to build little cottage for
me.
Then every morning before the sun
peeps over the hill I would go plant
a few vegetables. l would have
small number of fruit trees.
Then when the vegetables got to be
big enough to sell I would get up
about 3 o'clock in the morning and
pick the fruit and get the vegetables
ready to take to market. Then would
cook breakfast and start to town with
the load. would get there before the
other farmers did and get good price
for my vegetables and fruits. Then
would get the groceries that were need
ed and start for home.
would then feed the chickens and
milk the cows. Then I would lie down
on the bed and take a nap.
About half past two in the after
noon 1 would get up and go out to the
barnyard and milk the cows, take the
milk to town and sell it. Then I would
come home, cook supper and go to bed
for a comfortable sleep.

INVESTED, WOULD MAKE MORE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If was left a hundred dollars by
an aunt or uncle 1 would put it in the
bank to save until 1 had enough
money to invest in property in this
city of San Diego. In about two or
three years 1 would have enough to
invest with again. would leave about
fifty dollars in the bank to pay taxes
or to get another start by investing
some more money in Los Angeles.
When 1 am about 21 years of age
I would have two or three lots in Los
Angeles and three or four In San
Diego.
Then I would have to save up money
to build a home on one of my lots
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20
WOULD BE A SAVER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If 1 were given one hundred dollars
by my uncle or aunt I think I would
put it in the bank and then keep add
ing to it. After that every penny,
nickel, dime and quarter got would
put 1t in the bank, because you know
it takes pennies, nickels and dimes to
make dollars. After I had been saw
ing for quite a while I think 1 would
go east, if mamma would let me, and
see ice and snow for the first time.
1 have never had the chance so 1
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20

and to save up for taxes. I might
sell one lot so I could go to Europe
and to Washington, D. c., and over to
Australia.
I would often think of the aunt or
uncle who left me my hundred dollars
with which to begin my investing.
