dated New York, August 2:
"Will Sell Finger to Get Daughter
From City,"
In answer to an advertisement in
serted in Californa newspapers calling
for the sale of woman's right index
finger for grating purposes, Mrs. NJ.
A. Soyer, of 365 Bronx Park avenue
has offered to part with that member
for 81, 600, because she is desperately
in need of money and because she wants
to rear her 10-year-old daughter,
Ruth, away from the evil influences
of large city.
q would rather see Ruth lying in
her coffin than be forced to keep her
any longer in New York. she said.
g Not that this city is any worse than
any of the others; only the air is bad,
and the streets are bad, the associates
are undesirable and the effect of the
general environment and mental and
moral and physical health is most de-
plorable.

MINNIE S. BEAVIN.

The articles Mrs. Beavin appends
are the following from the Baltimore
American:
To the Editor: The cotton duck
mills at Woodberry. Baltimore, are
known throughout the world. Here
is chat with father of eight child
rem:
Father-Yes, am the father of
eight children, and some of them work
in the mill.
Livesey-Do they work for starva-
tion wages?
F.-Not much. My girl of 81
makes SIS week on piece work, and
my smallest boy Sill day.
but they say the mills use up
the children-kill them off before their
time; give them consumption from
dust and all that.
F.-Nothing of the kind; they like
the mill work; it's good for them, and
the air in the mill is as good as that
in my parlor. worked in the mill
myself when little boy, and only
made $40 a month.
Lit doesn't seem to have killed
you, and you seem to be getting
around the world doing a big days
work every day. But what are you
going to do about this proposed law
that the club women, the women
suffragists and other rich people want?
1t will put all of your children in
school until sixteen.
Eve are going to fight that
thing, every one of US. The mill
owners, the superintendent and the
people are all against it. Why, it
would stop the mills and bring star
walton to lots of poor widows with
six children who are now getting
long well enough.
L.-Then you don't think that wo-
men with only one child ought to
have all the say in matters relating
10 other peoples big families?
F.-No, sir. And / tell you we are
not going to have it.
L.-Well, then, you must get busy
and see to it that no man is elected
that favors compulsory education.
Eve must, indeed-that's what
we will do.
L.-You believe in public schools, |
suppose? F.-O, yes, l believe in
them, and / belong to three patriotic
orders that believe in "God, Country
and Public School," but l don't want
any more of this compulsory educa-
tion-it is bad l enough now to say
what children shall do until they are
twelve.
L.-Can /, then, put it down as a
fact that all the mill operatives, all
their parents, all the superintendent
and all the owners are opposed to the
club women's proposed compulsory ed
ucation law?
F.-Yes, sir, every one of them
they are opposed to it most desperate
ly.
So much for the mills. | met a
man who had been travelling around
asking country people about compul-
sorry education. He said:
Every farmer l met was opposed
to it. They all said farm help was
scarce enough already, and that would
make it worse. Even the storekeep-
ers were opposed to it. The only
ones | found wanting it were the
ministers and the doctors.
From all of the above it can be
seen that if the men we are to elect
this fall have any respect for the
masses and the farmers, they should
pledge themselves against compulsory
education, the same as Cove rnor
Blease successfully did in South Caro-
lima.

YOUTHFUL VICTIM OF CUPID
And the Boy Was Ready With tho Ex.
euss That Has Done Duty for
So Many Centuries.

John Duncan is six years old, and
lives in nice, comfortable house at
No. 2O56 East Ninetieth street, says
the Cleveland Leader. He started in
to get an education at Bolton school
not long ago, but the beauty of lit
tie girl Of about his own age proved
far more attractive to him than did
anything that his patient teacher
could offer. Whenever the opportunity
came this youthful lover would steal
over to his hearts desire and fairly
smother her with true lovers kisses.
In vain did the teacher protest
against these ardent manifestations of
affection. The kisses multiplied In
number and increased in their warmth
until finally note was sent to Johns
father, who is an erudite and dis
tinguished lawyer with Offices in the
Perry-Payne building.
