has embezzled a fortune and made his
escape from Russia but Is now held
In a prison In Spain. He has the money
safely hidden. however. and in return
for little assistance at this time will
share Il with the person who helps;
hence the personal little note, sent I'm
the greatest secrecy, TO its recipient
and TO the thousands OF others who re-
ceive similar letters.
Notice how the bait OF stolen money
Is hung out. II is illegitimate trea-
sure that is to be shared. The coup
has been effected. the dangerous part
OF the steal is over. All that remains
IL 10 give a little assistanoe-of the
financial sort OF cOurse-and with no
difficulty or peril TO himself the Am
erican who is invited 10 be victimized
il offered the prospect OF becoming
suddenly and easily wealthy.
The whole thing is a very plain, raw,
palpable swindle. so simple on the face
OF IL as to excite mirth on the part
OF the recipient OF the letter. which is
invariably written in fine hand on
paper lined into little squares, and so
many OF the letters have been sent out
and made public by countless newspa-
per articles that II would seem i'm
possible that anyone could be victim
lied. Yet there must still be persons
gullible enough TO swallow even the
very obvious hook or the letters would
cease coming.
So II you are invited TO assist in
rescuing a half million or more OF IL
legitimate wealth for a Russian banker
detained in a Spanish prison. even If
you are TO act as guardian or possibly
husband for his beautiful daughter. de-
cline with thanks. even If the banker
purpOrts TO be someone you have ac-
tually seen at some time in the hazy
past. or better yet, put all your money
in bag, take out dollar and put &
in your pocket and then throw the bag
into the river. You will still be dol
lar ahead OF where you would be If you
tried to rescue that Russian fortune.

leans that way.
But rowdyisin, disrespectful conduct,
violations Of good manners and good
breeding are not counted among the
indecenclcs, II so they are funny" and
provoke a laugh. Consequently many
OF the pictures put mischieyous ideas
into little heads.
Is IL not possible 10 make thought

as those of selfish and thoughless in

stories OF human interest just as well
IS they do the extravaganzas on rowd-

called.
Let us have few pictures of the
girl who helps mother and the boy
who can see home duty over foot
ball. and the moving picture show will
become an asset OF Helpful training.

President Tai, Is the real diplomat in
that Russian treaty matter. And when
It comes TO diplomacy, in which poll
tics have no part no one has anything
on him. He has. in a calm and cool
manner, taken the treaty affair into
his own hands, notified Russia that
this country desires 10 abroCate the
ancient document Of 1892 and sent
word 20 the Senate that this must be
accomplished without affront to Rus
STA. Mr. Taft has politely informed
the land OF the car that the treaty Is
out Of date, that being the simple and
only reason for its abrogation. and that
the United States stands ready to ne
gotiate a new and modern agreement.
The president insists that the long
term OF friendship between this coun-
try and Russia shall not be terminate
ed by offering any unnecessary insult
20 Russia; that the resolution OF abro-
cation must be worded in such a way
as will not prove offensive. Ultimately,
II will be shown that the presidents
course Is the best and that it will re-
suit in new treaty satisfactory TO all
concerned.

she drew an envelope, soiled and torn.
From the depth Of her pocket, ragged
and worn
And carefully placing the seal thereon
with sad little smile, was quickly
gone.
Out into the Christmas throng she
flew;
Nobody noticed, nobody knew
The lone little creature thin and cold,
With the pinched little face under hair
OF gold.
But she darted across the crowded
street,
Mid the roar Of wheels and the horses
feet
A clatter-a cry OF anguish shrill-
And the brave little form lay crushed
and still.
Tenderly back through the open door
That she just had passed the child
they bore;
And still in the hand was tightly
pressed
The letter. in childish scrawl address,
ed:
"To Mamma. in Heaven" With gentle
touch
They loosened the fingers lifeless
clutch.
Not the Seal alone marked the paper
red
That this message bore to the loving
dead:
Dear Mamma: I'm lonely since you
are gone.
It is hard, so hard. to be left alonel

do.
And that make me think, oh, 80 often
OF you.
