FIRST ATTEMPT.

Dear Daddy jim will you admit
another Georgia boy into your happy
band? Papa takes The Jeffersonian,
and he thinks a great deal of Mr..
Watson. Every week The Jeffer-
sonian comes I am anxious to read
the children's page. I have dark
hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion.
| am fourteen years old and go to
school. l like it very much and am
in the sixth grade. Jesse Odom, the
answer to your riddle is a newspaper.
Now | will ask some riddles: AS i
was going to st. Ives, | met seven
old wives; each old wife had seven
sacks, each sack had seven cats,
each cat had seven kits. How many
were going to st. Ives? There is a
word composed of three letters, that
reads backwards and forwards the
same. What is it? Now [ will close,
as this is my first attempt. With
best wishes to Daddy Jim and the
Postcard Club, | am your friend,

you just few things. Some of you
cousins must come to California and
see it. We have lots of people, cleo
trlc cars, autom obiles flying ma
chimes, etc., and the city of San
francisco is very beautiful with it's
tall buildings and parks. Golden
Gate Park is the most noted of them
all. 1t has beautiful ground for
the children to play, with swings,
merry-gorounds, and such amuse-
ments. 1t also has a mehagerie with
lots Of different kinds of wild ami
mails in it. They have shows of all
kinds, and it is very amusing to
watch the children wade on the
beach. Well the next time I write I
will tell you more, but will close now
as my letter is getting SO long that
Dady Jim will not like it. l will now
answer and ask some riddles: Aubry
Lockhart, your first is a dog or cat
and your second is air. Vashti Bats,
yours is match. Now l will ask
some: AS | was walking up the road,
| met body; she had a stick in her
hand and a stone in her throat; guess
this riddle and I'll give you my goat
Four corners and in each corner is
one cat; each cat sees four cats, how
many cats are there? White comes
out of the house and went out in the
fields, got green and comes in the
house white again? l had a letter
from Georgia. from Luther Ederson,
Jr., and didn't answer, so if you read
my letter in The Jeffersonian, I
would like to know your address, and
| would also like to correspond with
some of the cousins if you will write
to me. | will tell you about Califor-
MIA if you will tell me about Georgia

ON KINDNESS.

Dear Daddy Jim: will you please
open the door for another little Geor-
gla girl? Papa takes The Jefferson
ian and likes to read it, and says he
could hardly do without it, and | GER
tainly enjoy reading the many inter-
esting letters in the Postcard Club.
This is my first attempt to write a
letter to The Jeff, so I will say few
words on kindness" and ring off,
Kindness is the purest expression of
the human heart. 1t always wins
friends wherever we may be. Whether
we roam through the forest of the
wild man, or seek the abode of opu-
lence and luxury, the language of
kindness is always understood. 1t is
the universal language of the world
Kindness does not mean expenditure
of large amounts of money for chari-
table purposes, nor to perform deeds
that will make your name remember
ed throughout time. Kindness is the
tear shed for the misery of others; it
is revealed in the tone of voice that
expresses sympathy in times of trial
and Encouragement; it sweetens the
cup of cold water and the piece of dry
bread offered to the starving. Kind
ness is the sunshine of life 1t steals
into the deepest recesses of the heart
and brings to light the golden treas
lures that are hidden there. The gift
of money flows from an open and
ample purse, but kindness flows from
the depths of the heart. A little word
of kindness will enter the soul and
give birth to pleasant thoughts, while
the harsh word spoken in anger will
enter the breast like a dagger, and
the scar of the thrust will follow it's
victim to the grave. Let us resolve
to be kind to one another. For kind
ness bears with the deficiencies and
defOrmities of human nature it for
gives all of our mistakes, and floods
our path with the golden light of love.
AS this is my first letter, will close
for fear it may find it's way in the
waste basket, but If it escapes, will
come again. With best wishes to
Daddy Jim and all the cousins, / am
your new friend, BERTHE B. Kitchens,
Griswoldville, Ca, r. F. D. 2.

LIVE STOCK Rates
State Rni|way Commission Restores
Minimum on Shipments
RULES ON LENGTH OF CARS
Freight Rate on Live Stock Shipped
Between Iowa Points Will Be
Reduced Approximately 20
Per Cent.

Des Moines, June 3.-An importan,
decision to small shippers by which
the freight rate on live stock shipped
between Iowa points will be reduced
approximately 20 per cent, was made
by the state board of railroad COM
missioners when it restored the mini.
mum on live stock shipments to 81
foot cars. The request was made by
the Sioux City Live Stock exchange
and the Sioux City Stock Yards COM
pany.
The board recently increased the
minimum length of cars for live stock
shipments from thirty-one to thirty
six feet. The Sioux City concerns FL
ed formal complaint and after a hear
ing Thursday the board restored the
old order to take effect as soon as
possible. The change from 31-foot
cars to 36-foot cars took effect June l
and the change back to 31-foot cars
is of great value to the small ship
per.
1t was shown that the farmer or
small shipper of live stock, shipping
to local points, seldom has sufficient
stock to fill 36-foot car. Despite
this fact they must pay the minimum
weight for the 36-foot car. The order
OF the board also provides that if the
shipper demands 31-foot car and the
company cannot furnish it that he
shall pay only the minimum on the
smaller car, regardless of the size of
the car.

HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE
HER.

Denver, Col, April %, 1909.
To Whom it May Concern:
l find it a pleasure to say word
in praise of Madam Perkins, and her
remarkable success in scientific scalp
treatment 'a
Madam Perkins, for many years a
resident of Denver, is an active
member of Zion Baptist church, and
one Of the most favorably known
women in our state. The beautiful
hair of hundreds of women in our
city and other parts of the state is
a tribute to her phenomenal success
in her profession. The wonderful
growth of her own hair is a most
testimony. I cheerfully
recommend her to all ladies who may
be interested in the growing and
of the hair. rs"

THE GROWN OF SUCCESS.

(From the Denver Statesman.)
A year ago the first announcement
was made Of the wonderful success
which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made
in the growth of her own hair, and
it is her intention to give the ben
eft of her knowledge to the world
at large. Being one Of the best
known women in this section of the
country, already the news OCCASION
ed much comment, and many peo-
pie who had known her for years,
came to realize for the first time
that the magnificent suit of hair she
has now was the product of a very
short time and that bare three
years ago she wore her hair in short
curls, not braided and dressed as
she now does. That success begets
success, was evident from the start.
Her classes in the care of the scalp
and the growth and identifying of
the hair were filled at once. They
grew in prodigious bounds and some
weeks ago she was compelled to
abandon her out-of-town classes al
together. She confines herself now
to treatments at her home in the
Highlands and to mail order bust
ness.
In the special articles which will
appear from time to time in this pa
per, we delight to call attention to
success in various lines achieved by
people of this city and state both
that there may be honor paid to
whom honor is due, and also that
proper appreciate and patronage
may come to pioneers in business
among us. Personal profit for them
selves and example and encourage
ment for us all go hand in hand in
success won by members Of our race.
Even the mean spirited should not
begrudge the one when SO much is
for the whole people at
the same time. IT.. -.... .zs
In her business Mrs. Perkins does
not play the part of charlatan, but
sets forth clearly the possibilities of
her work, and her greatest endorse
ment falls short of the painstaking
endeavor and thorough going knowl-
edge she uses. We have seen her
STOW and grow, we know that she
has succeeded and we, therefore.
predict that in no great length Of
time she will be doing business
that will rival any mail order bust
ness conducted by a woman Of our
race IN any department Of endaavor.

DOUBLE PROOF.

Denver, Col, Aug, 1870.
To the Public:
| have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins
more than ten years and never knew
her to have hair more than two
inches long until the past three
years. l was more than surprised
when she took her hair down to
prove to me that is was all her own.
I put my scalp in her charge at once
and words can never express the
wonderful results of her treatment.
I have tried so many hair treat
ments that my hair was in dread
full condition. Mrs. Perkins first
treatment proved beyond a doubt
her knowledge of the care of the
scalp. l trust every woman who
may read this will write Mrs. Per-
kins and secure place in her class
for scalp treatment for identifying
and growth of the hair

my hair was very short, harsh and

all to take Mrs. Perkins treatment.
