SEEK HELP OF RICH WOMAN
Begging Letters Innumerable Come In
Every Mail to the P~ossessor Of
Great Wealth.

A correspondent of Leslie's Weekly
sends these juicy bits from the CORE
spondence of one of our wealthiest and
most charitable ladies:
One supplicant writes: "You are far
above men in a social and monetary
way, but | fly to thee for aid. l would
like to go visiting and would like some
clothes or a hat. One that comes over
the face is more becoming to me"
Others are: II have a moral charac-
ter, and some thinks l am very bright.
i am blessed with many friends who
will testify to my ladyship."
For a long time / have wanted to
feel the pleasure Of being even with
the world, and when ! saw your pic
ture in the paper your eyes seemed to
look into mine and say I will help
you II you will ask me-"
Il have long been looking for q per-
son to whom l could make my wants
known. Little I ask-some stationery,
. good timepiece, M pair Of spec
tacles (good, strong lense) or the ex-
change of a railway pass for q good
parrot"
II have sometimes wished that God
would give me some money to start
me in the chicken business. Perhaps
he would start me in the business to
sell the pure food of horseradish."
II am a bachelor maid of sixty-two
and have to look out for myself, as /
have neither pa nor ma. Think over
this letter and don't disappoint me.
Your loving friend"
These letters are plainly from ig-
norant people, and probably somewhat
weak-minded. In fact, it is almost an
infallible sign of observation-disclosures to
send any sort Of ar appeal for per
sonal help to the very rich.

One small boy Of my acquaintance

about that business OF writing his ad-

Trees Have Parasols.

Huge linen shields, raised high In
the air on slender poles, ward on
the suns rays from the young trees
in one Of the public squares Of Ber-
lin, Germany. They look like the
scenery of an open air stage, but they
were set up simply to make q tenn
porary nursery for the young lindens
that have been transplanted into
Heidelberg Square. The shadeless
park has no protection from the hot
sun, and until the little trees get :

Jobs Turkey.

OF course, Job never had q turkey,
for this fowl is q native of the land
of the stars and stripes. and was
never heard OF until this country was
settled by travellers oversee.
Nevertheless, Jobs turkey is de.
scribed by the author Of Sam Slick"
as SO poor that it had only one lonely
feather in its tail and had to lean
against q fence to gobble. Since the
appearance Of that book Jobs turkey
represents the last extreme Of poor

STOCK PHRASES A MISTAKE
Too Many Writers Use Them to the
Ultimate Great Detriment Of
Their Work.

There are writer's with something
to say whom it is very difficult to
read with any attention, because their
n is constantly weakened by stock
phrases. They have not learned to
At their thoughts with their own lam
guage. and these thoughts are dis
guised In language that seems to
mean nothing. A writer who can
make his own phrases keeps the read
er's attention alert. There is no
doubt that he always means some
thing, that his thought is working in
every sentence; but in stock phrases
thought ceases to work. and the read
er's attention cease with it. He may
like this little holiday; indeed. some
writer's are popular just because their
stock phrases are SO numerou that
the readers mind can enjoy a com.
plete idleness among them. But 1t Is
not the proper aim of writing to pro
woke this kind of unconscious idle
ness; and even the writer's who do
provoke 1t are probably themselves
unconscious of the effect they pro
duce. Even they are trying to a
something, and failing SO p~retentious-
ly that their failure is concealed from
themselves as well as from their con-
tented readers. No clergyman would
wish to fill his church because his
sermons had the power of putting all
his congregation to sleep; and the
writer who becomes popular through
his use Of stock phrases owes his sue
cess, if only he knew it, to causes
just as unflattering.

FEATURE OF THE NATIONAL
CHILD LABOR CONFERENCE

The announcement of the National
Child Labor Committees annual con
ference, to be held at Jacksonville
Fla. March 19th-1Gth, shows as an
entirely new feature Of such confer
ence a meeting for children. The Ma
ti.nal Child Labor Committee has pre-
psred stories Of child labor in the
glass, cotton and coal industries,
which will be told by children, while
stereopticon slides are shown. In the
eight annual conferences heretofore,
there has been no attempt to interest
children who play in the conditions of
children who work, but the Commit
tee says 1t is coming to realize the
need of including in its campaign Of
education, the little citizens who will
make the child labor laws Of the fu-
ture.
This is also the first time that the
National Child Labor Committee has
taken Child Labor and Poverty as the
general topic of its conference.
The first session will open with a
discussion of child labor and charita-
lie relief, conducted by Sherman c,

will be devoted to the more fundamen.

Comedy Distances sobs in New Play.
An interesting and at times exciting

Gently. A particularly veracious com

new play Bought and Paid For" took
the dear old drama between his teeth
bolted. At late house he still was
running and Mr. Broadhurst's only
chance of stopping him, if to stop him
be his WISH is the rewriting of the
play. 1t was not intended that the com
edy should thus run away with the
drama. Far from it. They were sup
posed to walk along side by side, each

NOR in 1t to offer some relief to the
seriousness of city life in the weaving.
The story revolves about four peo-
pie. First, Robert Stafford, a self
made, self-cultured, self-contained mil
lionaire Second, Virginia Blaine, an
honest girl and true as we'll as soft
voiced operator at a hotel telephone
exchange. Third, Fanny Blaine, her
sister, and, four, James Gilley, her
sisters husband. Stafford falls in love
with Virginia Blaine. He is drawn
to her first through her patience in
helping him to get his long distance
calls. Then he likes her voice and fl
nally it occurs to him that she should
be both handy and ornamental about
an apartment He tells her so. She
admits, ingenuously but sincerely, that
she is more or less fascinated by his
wealth and that she does not love him.
II he thinks she will learn to love
him in time, she is willing to try.
They are married. Two years later
Stafford is a good husband, but he
will drink. He has bought his wife all
the clothes and jewels she can wear,
given young Gilley $4,000 year po-

drink. When he drinks he becomes
sentimental, not to say mushy and

In the first place, you can get goon
seed to plant. No matter whether you
plant one acre or thousand, you can
not afford to plant seed of unknown
parentage or quality. The cost of high
grade seed is only few cents to the
acre, and such seed, used instead OF
that selected from your own or neigh
boris crib, may easily give an Increase
in the crop of three or five, or even
more bushels per acre. You cannot
make better investment.
When you buy seed corn, buy from d
breeder who really breeds; don't buy
an INFESTED variety grown on an entire
ly different siol and in an entirely DIFF
ferent climate; don't pay fancy price
for seed grown in big-yielding patch,
unless you know something Of the way
this seed has been selected; and don't
look for the cheapest seed you can
