 T could get along very well and make a creditable appearance upon q fixed income of next to nothing year if it were not for the generosity of my
 wealthy friends
 You mean that they always give one things and then have to. be given something in return at Christmas,
 said the visitor
 until Christmas it would not be SO bad, The candid girl carefully changed the position of a rosette
 They may go to Pasadena or Palm generous impulses are steady drain upon ones nervous and financial re- sources. For instance, there are Mrs Harrington and her footman. Did you ever make the social blunder of giv- ing directions to the chuffeur instead of to the footman?" she suddenly and irrelevantly demanded with emotion in nowise diminished by the fact that her mouth was filled with pins. Well, don't Profit by my mistake and humiliation.
 You see, Mrs Harrington insisted upon placing her electric brougham at my disposal for the afternoon one day last week. I didn't know what to do with it. but I had to accept it, be- cause I had no excuse for declining. So I took Aunt Rachael driving through the parks and she enjoyed herself, good Soul.s but l felt weighed down all afternoon by the conscious ness of the chauffeur's disapproval. When I tried to tell him where to go he >courteousIy but firmly indicated the footman standing at attention, with the rug over his arm, and the footman repeated the directions to the chauffeur after they had been con veyed to him. A perfectly correct driver or chauffeur. it seems, is proper i ly deaf to any communication not re- 1 ceived through the footman.
 However that is not what I start | ed out to tell you about continued the candid girl. Tt was the opera l tickets that caused me the most trou- ble and expense Mrs. Harrington also insisted upon sending me two tickets for Die Gotterdammerung. Y ou know, I am one of the few hu- man beings who do not care in the least for grand opera and do not pre- tend to. so 1 wanted to tell her point | blank that I would take the $10 in stead of the tickets, but somehow one never can do such perfectely reason able and sensible things. So I tried tof get you to go with me and you were out in Evanston. The visiting girls gesture deplored her lost oppor- tunity. T tried. also to get Mabel, and she had to go to a bridge party. I After I had wasted 50 cents yainly to every one I could think of who might care to go a happy thought struck me and I de- | cided to sell one of the tickets.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

President elect Wilson by his an nouncement of the date as the first of April for the assembling of the spe- cial session of congress indicates that the new administration is to get down to business at a reasonable time and it would be equally interesting if he could promise that it would result in devotion to business for the country's good. along a different course than that pursued by the democratic con gress now in session. This early Ses- sion for the taking up Of the tariH should mean a likewise early adjust ment of this important question, put it is evident that the democratic ad- ministration is going to have hard wrestle with it's plan for tariff for rev. enue only This has been indicated by the attitude of many of the demo- crats for the protection of their state industries and the clamor comes from many democratic sections for the abandonment of any proposals to sub ject their business to the harmful in-- fiuences of foreign. labor.
 Action taken in advance by the com mittee has failed to perfect any meas ure or to satisfy the party adherents that there is not great amount of thought and consideration to be given it before any action will be justified in the way of redical reduction. It is a alter in which sectionalism should not be allowed to prevail for the tariff should be considered on the broad ground of applying in the various schedules to all the states. Being called for the consideration of the tariff the session should begin to con slider it early and not put it off from time to time to finally dispose of it in haphazard manner without due deliberation

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Comments MT. HoIdsworth.

Mir Editor: The article in The Bull Ietin of the 21st from Fred Holdsworth on the anti-socialist orator GoldSteIn, who spoke as it would seem for so many dollars an oration strikes me as being good one. l am no socialist, never was, and may never be, but am somewhat conversant with past events Money gets most anything nowadays, even the police in New York. The scripture truly declares the love of money is the root of all evil, and that has been my observation and experi- ence while taking lifes span upon this mundane globe, and as for socialists advoca ting free love, I have read good deal of socialist literature, but have never detected anything either expressed or implied that they be- lieved or advocated any such doctrine, but I am persuaded that other infiu- ences will result in establishing free love more than socialism ever has or ever will. I wish to extend hearty congratulations to MT. Holdswerth for his candid article and thank The Bul- Ietin in giving him the opportunity to be heard More power to his elbow
 Yours in truth,
 A SUBSCRIBER.

ENORMOUS COST OF WAR.

It is no wonder that the president expressed surprise the other day when the statement was made to him of the daily cost of war in dollars and cents. That alone mounts up quick and a war of any kind involves the expenditure of large sums of money. but money by no means can express the total cost of the war There are the lives which are sacrificed, the much larger num- Der of the maimed and injured among the contestants to say nothing of the desolate homes and the depend ent families which all go to make up the cost of war This is all being the east which means a staggering financial burden to all the Balkan states, and though it will eventually is being accomplished at an enor- nous sacrifice of human life, which must have it's. injurious effects for some years to come upon the citizenship of even the victorious states when it is realized that there is hardly a Bull garian home which has not contrib uted to the dead and injured
 This country has reason to congrat- ulate itself that it has an ardent peace advocate in the White House and one to whose policy has not been to rush into the Mexican trouble with all it's involved costs without cause but has like action characterizes his attitude. Great havoc would have been wrought long ago had jingoism been allowed to overcome good judgment.

COFFEE NEGOTIATIONS.

The importance of this country to certain portions at least of South America, as an outlet for its pro- ducts is shown by the large business which Brazil does with the United States in the disposal of it's coffee.crop Coffee iInportations decreased in amount last year but 3 material in crease was shown in the value of the commodity brought into this country. which jumped from nipety-seven mil lion in 1911 to 130 million the past year though the number of pounds inn ported was but 943 million compared with 1140 million pounds in 1909, though in 1909 only eighty-Eeven mill lion was the value of coffee brought into the country. The unusually high figures of value this year are due to the high prices, the average price per pound as purchased in the country ex- porting it was thirteen and eight tenths cents with a price of seven and a half cents in 1909.
 South America gets the benefit of this big trade with this country the ere am of it going to Brazil. the 676 million pounds received therefrorn costing 93 1-2 million, while from Co- lombia there was received large i'm portations and Venezuela also dis poses of nearly eight million dollars worth here High prices are causing 2 decrease Tn the use Of coffee fact which Is noted by the large increase in the importation or cocoa, there hay ing been an increase of nearly twenty million pounds over the previous year.

GETTING EXPERT ADVICE.

The importance of getting the best advice possible even for the operation of the farm is being more and more realized throughout the countries where agriculture is pursued. There was time when knowledge through experience of the farmer and his neighbor was relied upon for results but the advantage of employing the best scientific data and the advice of experts is now recognized as of great value to every branch of agriculture for getting the proper crops and an adequate return for efforts expended
 In many states experts are secured to go about from farm to farm. Other localities have model farms for help ing the agriculturists while this coun- try makes soil surveys and the wis dom of such policy is appreciated in Canada where the monthly bulletin of the commission of conservation makes this offer: Draw a sketch of your farm, giving the number of acres in each field, the kind of soil and the kind of corps grown on it for the past three years. Also specify the line you are particularly interested in name ly, dairying, beef production, sheep or hogs, or grain growing. Distance from the market has also to be considered. Send this to the commission of con servation, Ottawa, and they will make suggestions that will be of material help in deciding the best crop rotation for your farm,
 Canada has vast agricultural lands which are in the process of develop ment and this proposition overcomes any excuse which might be offered for lack of success in that pursuit through failure to know how to make the best use of the land

WEALTHY FRIENDS

T certainly did" pursued the can did girl, entirely unabashed Figure to yourself what Mrs. Farringtonss kindly impulse in regard to those sudden asperity For it rained that afternoon and I ruined the feather or my hat and sofied my only pair ot clean white gloves, and got my feet wet and caught cold and had to use the time in which I had planned to finish the dress I wanted to wear to the theatre the next night with Bob ond had to wear my old one, instead, and soiled gloves, which, with my bad cold, made me act disagreeably all evening.
 The only thing that annoyed me was that I did not dare sell both tick cts. I had never heard Die Gotter- dammerung' and I feared Mrs. Far rington would catechise me upon it. I sold one ticket to scalper for s4 and trudged down in the rain, con soling myself with the thought that l had at least some money in my peek ct. About the end of the overture a woman came in and took the seat next to me and I made a mental note that doubtless it was her $4 that I had in my purse. Then I tried to de- eide whether it would be better to buy a new feather or new pair of shoes with the money. Well, the clash and clamor of the music soon drowned out this profitable calcula- ton. So I sat through the acts with my wet feet and wished l were home getting my sewing done. I was pre- pairing to hurry out at the fall of the last curtain when, just at the finale, whom did I see coming down the aisle toward me but Mrs. Burlington!
 T knew where your seats were, said she. beaming cordially. so I had James stop here that I might pick up you and your friend take you to tea with me and then have James take you home She graciously included stranger beside me who was engaged in putting on her wraps
 'eWhatever did you do?" demanded the listening friend.
 "The quickest thinking of my life. And I f1atter myself that when 1t comes to lying promptly and efiici- ently few presidential candidates have anything on me- said the can did girl, complacently.
 T drew Mrs Harrington tactfully aside and explained to her that you had been with me, but to your, intense regret you had been compelled to leave at the end of the second act because of a bad headache, and then this person had just slipped in and taken your seat. I explained further that doubtless I should have gone home with you, but it had been such derful music that I had not been able to bring myself to leave"
 Well I like your nerve!" said the visiting friend.

DUTY OF THE STATE.

Ordinarily the gathering of the state board of pardons is not a session in which much pleasure is involved. The duties are those of grave responSi- bility and call for a proper recogni- tion of full service both to the state and to the petitioners who came before them. At it's session within a few days, however. the board will be called upon to act in two cases wherein 1t can with pleasure do its part and yet side with the general impression that some reparation should be made to those men in addition to giving them their liberty. False imprisonment is an unusual occurrence, but after serv- ing four years in state prison for a crime which others committed the An sonia Sentinel well asks:
 What adequate reparation can the state offer to the two men who. inno- cent of the crime for which they were convicted. have been falsely impris oned at Wethersfield for four years at hard labor while the wife and chil- dren of one of them are said to have suffered want and to have perished of starvation? The pity and industry of it all must appeal strongly to thoughtful AIEericans who, first of all love justice and insist that it shall be administered alike to all men, Cases like this one are exceedingly rare, but by no means exceptional. They go to show how unrelenting the tentacles of the law are when they once take hold, and help to emphasize the importance of stunning evil com panions and avoiding every appearance and liability to suspicion.
 The evidence used placed the error on the state though not an interna- tional miscarriage of justice. In addi- ton to their freedom the state owes them every restitution which it is in it's power to give.
