HER LETTER. y

I'm sitting alone by the fire,
Dressed just as l came from the
dance.
In a robe even you would admire
1t cost a cool thousand in France;
I'm be-diamoned out of all reason,
My hair is done up in a cue;
In short, sir, the belle of the season
Is wasting an hour on you.
"And how do I like my position?
And what do I think of New York?
And now, in my higher ambition,
With whom do | waltz, tiirt and talk?
And isn't it nice to have riches,
And diamonds and silks and all that?
And isn't it a change to the bitches
And tunnels of Poverty Flat?'
Well yes-if you saw US out driving
Each day in the park, fOuT-in-hand-
If you saw poor dear mamma contriy-
ing
To look supernaturally grand
If you saw papa's picture, as taken
BY Brady, and tinted at that
You'd never suspect he sold bacon
And -four at Poverty Flat.
And yet, just this moment, when sit
ting
In the glare of the grand chandelier
In the hustle and glitter BETTING
The finest soiEee of the year
In the mists of a gaze de Chambery,
And the hum of the smallest of
talk
Somehow, Joe, Thought of the Ferry
And the dance that We had on The
Fork"
OF Harrison's barn, with its muster
OF flags festooned over the wall;
Of the candles that shed their soft
luster
And tallow on head-dress and shawl;
OF the steps that We took to one fiddle,
Of the dress of my queer vis-a-vis,
And how ! once went down the middle
With the man that shot Sandy Nc
Gee;
OF the moon that was quietly sleeping
On the hill when the time came to
go;
Of the few baby peaks that were peep

snow;
OF that ride-that to me was the
rarest;
Of-the somethingf you said at the
gate;
All, Joe. then I wasn't an heiress
To the best paying lead in the
state"
But, goodness, what nonsense I'm
writing!
CMamma says my taste still is low
Instead of my triumphs reciting,
I'm spooning on Joseph-heigh-ho!
And I'm to be finished" by travel
Whatevers the meaning of that
Oh! why did papa strike pay gravel
In drifting on Poverty Flat?
Good night-here's the end of my
paper;
Good-night-if the longitude please
For maybe while wasting my taper,
Your suns climbing over the trees.
But know, if you haven't got riches,
And are poor, dearest Joe, and all
that,
That my hearts somewhere there in

And you've struck ton Poverty

1T Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering ~entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause Of d~isfguration, physical be-
cause of pain. Think OF the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft. white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and eve success in
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura,' Dept. 81 L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-pagc booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

Crying Need for American Merchant
Marine.

need hardly rciterate the conviction
that 1llere should speedily be built up an
American merchant marine. This is h"r-
tssarv to assure favorable t~ransporta-
ton facilities to our great ocean-borna
commerce. as we'll as TO supplement the
navy with an adequate reserve OF SHIPS
and men. It would have the economic ad-
vantage Of keeping at home part Of the
vast sums now paid foreign shipping for
carrying American goods. All the, great
commercial nations pay heavy subsidies
to their merchant marine, 50 that it is
uhvi0us that without some wise aid from
the congress the United States must lag
behind in the matter of merchant marine
in its present anomalous position.
Legislation 70 facilitate the extension
Of American banks to foreign countries IS
another matter in which our foreign
trade needs assistance.
Improvement of the Foreign Service.
The entire forcien-service organization
IS being improved and developed with
ocppcial regard to the requirements Of
| the commercial interests of the country.
The rapid growth of our foreign trade
makes it of the utmost Importance that
governmental agencies through which
! that trade is to be aided and protected
should possess a high degree of eff
cheney, Not only should The foreign rep
rrsentatives be maintained upon n ger-
erous scale in so far as salaries and es-
tablishments are concerned bnt the Sc
should be definitely and permanently reg
ulatcd by law. SO that the service shall
not fail to attract men of high character
and ability. The experience Of the past
few years with a partial application OF
civil service rules to the diplomatic and
consular service leaves no doubt In my
mind of the wisdom Of a wider and more
permanent extension of those principles
to both branches of the foreign service.
therefore again commend to the IA
vorable action Of the congress the enact
ment OF a law applying to the diplomatic
hnd;ed in section 1883 Of the Revised Stat
utes Of the United States. in the civil
service act of January 16. 1889. and the
executive orders of June n. lso6. and OF
