letter 10 you sounus like ! was eX-
pectin the ladys OF The WOmin's Club
4, 20 into TIE house-cleenln bus
ress, and maybe come plnts IN that
letter is misslccdin OWN 10 ME Eot
maxim them plane enough. don |
often make a mistake like that. |
think it is better to put in Few
more words than to not have peplc
know what you are sayin. There Is
some fools, however, which don't
know what you say no matter how
long you talk or write, and yeer
afterwards you can find them sayin
that you sayed the things that they
only think you sayed. don't try
to write SO them folks can under
stand for that is somethin which can
never be did to the end of time. But,
about that last letter. was just
tiyin to say that all the peple of this
town had ought to eileen out all the
things they don't need on eileen UP
days." inside the house as we'll as
out, and that | was thinkin a rum
mage sale or sale of old magazines
could therefore be carried on by the
ladys right along with the eileen
up days"
| was reel well pleesed with YOU
remarks on the reck OF the biz
steamship and | have been intendih
TO drop in the offs and say SO but
! have neglected. to do So However
better late than never, as the sayin
is, and am now tellin you that was
u good peece, little flOwery and
not too much SO, with lots of good
sense mixed in. There is lots of Pc
PIE which thinks that ii they are
happy it is a sine they are doin
ocmClHiH NuIeu tucy udu uOI Ou6Ht
to do. And that makes it hard for
writers like you and me to fix
peece up SO it will sound good, and
yet not sound SO good that nobody
will believe We meen it.
The way peple talks about that
reck makes me think of Lizzie Will
son that lived with and kept house
for old man Rogers and his wife and
crippled dauter. There dauter, Clary-
bell was her name, loved to play
authers, a game which is not used
much now in these days but witch is
4 reel interestin and instructor game
and Lizzie was reel fond of play;n
too. | enjoy a game of authers as
we'll as the next one, and SO does
Marthy, only she want never no hand
to remember how to play from one
time to the next. Oh, yes, was
talkin about Lizzie. Lizzie didn't
never have much suksess playin
Authors is like anything else, some
peple can ketch ON reel quick and
others cant never get the hang of
i! After every game was over, Liz
zic would say somethin like this:
well, ! could have wonc that time
ii had only had the Marble Faun,"
or else, II could have beet that time
i had asked Uncle Henry insted
OF tlarybell when ! was wantin
Hawthorn House of Seven Gables.
Ncu see, tryin to tell how it would
have been If it had been diffrent.
And. there is lots of pcple which is
Scln around sayin. Cap Smith want
tendin to dooty or it wouldn't have
happened" and Others is sayin.
|"They was a-sOin too fast" and 9TH
crs says. THE trublc is they want
enough life bOtes." and so on. But.
anybody say. Here we see the re-
suits OF humen carelessness, and we
mad all ought to be very CAREFUL
thereafter. You know they don't.
Every day there is ilys born by the
millions in our fare city, when ms;
one is enough to start tyfoid fever
under favorable circumstances. There
is muskeeters born and rased in tn.
edges of the lakes and in empty tin
cans and such places. and yet We
are reel proud that this haint na,-
lerel liant of the muskeeter. If he is
here. and lots of him is, he is here
because we haint been as CAREFUL AS
nature is. Muskeeters is the cause
oi malarya. Every day there is BOYS
Igos out in bOtes on these lakes which
amt got sense enough not to tin III,
bote right over to scare the hitler
follers which there mothers has Ter
go along. have seen this hapnen
many time. And We aint careful
enough of our girls. When Glare
Louise had bows around, | took ,are1
to get a good look at him and talk
10 MIN and size him up, and neye~
let her go buggy riding over ,ha
