LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A christmas AnneaL

Mr. Editor: Christmas approaches, and, to quote the presidents Thanks giving proclamation, it has been youchsafed to us to remain at peace with honor. The duty and the priv uege remain of averting starvation amongst the Belgian refugees this winter and for this special purpose the Dollar Christmas fund has been or ganized.
 It is estimated to date that all the help subscribed in Americas-and it has been very ltbeEal-including the aid of the wealthy Rockefeller foundation does not average more than @ few cents for each destitute Belgian enough to buy food for a few dayst
 The Dollar Christmas fund has one gfeat anlhition-to see that every man. woman and child this Christmas shall have food. clothing, shelter. This great achievement is happily still possible ana to this end we are working with the Christmas fund of London, which has collected for the same purpose nearly $400,000. The cooperation Of the two organizations has many de- c1ded advantages. It provides a safe guard against waste from overlapping 1t enables our fund to enjoy the guid- anee of members of the Belgian goV- ernment as regards the distribution of relief. All our workers are voluntary and every cent subscribed, after de- duct1ng the cost of stamps and sta tionery. goes direct to the Belgians.
 Even if you have given to every other fund, we beg you in the name of humanity to assist the Christmas fund for which appeal as treasurer. Help to send a Christmas gift worthy of America--a tribute of sympathy from one people to another whose needs and sorrows are immeasurable.
 If you realize that millions are lit- orally faced with starvation, that chill dren are still crying for foods shelter less women dragging their weary way to help, that aged men are homeless and shivering-and this despite all that is heinz done-you will give before Christmas, and give liberally. England has received 300, GOO of the refugees, but there are unnumbered thousands still wandering in France and Holland, besides those in stricken Belgium
 A fresh inspiration to our own peaceful Christmas in America will be lent if we relieve now the sufferlngs of innocent little children, unoffending women and aged men, and you may rest assured that no mans Christmas day will be the less happy because in some cases the gift may entail some measure Of personal sacrifice.
 Let us remember at this crisis that Ito pity distress is but human; to RELIEVE it is Godlike.''
 All contributions entrusted to me as treasurer will be promptly and thank fully acknowledged. Send along your dollar-more if you can.
 Yours very truly,
 HEERY CLEWS, Treasurer Dollar Christmas Fund for 1Ion7siess RelgianS, Broad St., New Ec-, en 4e41

sToPPlNc THE PUsHRoARps

There can be only commendation for the notice which has been issued by the police to the effect that pushboards and similar chance devices must in the future be discarded under the penalty of the law. It is time that such action was taken and these schemes, which have to a large extent sprung up since the slot machines were tabooed. put out of existence. The fact is it would have been much bet ter and easier had such a stand been taken at the time they made their ap- .pearance instead of waiting until all kinds of business places have been forced to adopt them in order to com pete for trade, but it should not be a very difficult problem even at the present time if it is made certain that the order to discard them is accom- panied by the determination to see that-it is enforced.
 There can be no question but what such devices arc detrimental to the welfare of a community. Though simple, inexpensive and harmless pos sibly in themselves they lend great encouragement to the habit of ganob- ling and differ only in the character of the results from other devices and ma chlues WHICH nave long been recognlz- ed as against the law. They are schemes which have for their sole purpose the securing of larger sums for the articles disposed of than could otherwise be obtained. The alluring attraction of big prizes for small amounts is only another form of the old-time swindle, and the everlasting struggle to separate a person from his money. It is well that their end has been demanded.

DIFFERENCE IN MEN

There is a vast difference in the manner of granting pardons in the state of South Carolina and in the state of New York, but there is also as great a difference in the character of men with whom much of the par doning power rests in the two states.
 For Thanksgiving Governor Blease of South Carolina, who has manifested an inclination to empty the prisons of that state. gave freedom to a large number of convicts. On Christmas he proposes to repeat until there will be few or none remaining within the walls of the state institution at the opening of the new year when he turns over the control of the state to another. Such has been his policy throughout his administration and his determination to carry it on just as long as his authority lasts is typical of the man, even though it was one of the things which led to his defeat.
 For another month Governor GIynn will possess the power to pardon the same as at any other time since he has been governor. That he does not intend to take any undue advantage of the approach of the end of his term is disclosed by his statement that he will not pardon certain prominent con- victs who have been sent to prison from the county where his successor has been and is at present district att touney. without the recommendation of MT. Whitman.
 Such discloses the difference in the men at the head of state governments and one Of the important reasons why state government is one thing in South Carolina and another thing in New York. It makes a difference whether personal or state interests are con- sidered.

tor that a, boat was nearing the shore, and Hale rushed out, believing it bore a party of his friends but imagine his surprise when almost to land he found a number of muskets feveled at him with the command to surrender.
 Hale was in such a position that es- cape was impossible. He was taken immediately on board the guardship Halifax, and was carried at once to the headquarters of Gen. Howe.
 Hale was examined and Howe was thunderstruck. when the memoranda shoes were spread before him, and with the extent and accuracy of the prisoners work It-ts certain that the English commander offered him a. tuli pardon if he would enter the British army. But he refused. The charge was soon made-the proof had been produced. When he stood in judgment before the British general-did he ex- plain, preyaricate, deny-throw him. self on the laws of war, and demand trial by court martial-that right accorded to every military offender,
 No! Hale frankly and at once ac- knowledged his mission He confessed himself aS an American officer and a spy If he had one regret, he said, it was that he was unable to further serve his country.
 It took the judge but short time to come to a decision, Howe picked up a piece of paper which bore the initials ''G. R." George Rex) and thereupon wrote that William Gun ningham, provost marshal of the Royal army, was directed to receive the cus- tody of Nathan Hale, a, captain in the rebel army. that day convicted as a spy, and further to see that he is hung the following morning, Sept. %, 177e, at daybreak.
 Hale heard the orders read un- hinehingly. He gave not even a com blaming look. and from the presence of his judge he was borne by a. strong guard. The execution was carried out the following morning as ordered. When at last he stood on the ladder waiting for the rope to be thrown over the limb of a tree, Cunningham asked him if he had anything to say. Hale's concise reply to that command has made him immortal. The exact words as we know them, are: q only regret that I have but one life to give for my country"
 A few hours later a British officer rode into the American camp under a flag of truce and informed Hamil+ ton, then a captain of artillery, that Capt Hale had been arrested, con- demned as a spy and executed that morning.

"Thank you I'm feeling very poorly. explained the woman who is energetic enough to get her own way. I've just finished with the contractor who built this house and rented it to us. My only consolation is that he must be feeling worse. That man has Q ter.i- bly, persuasive way with him, and I suppose that he Is feeling consider ably astonished and bewildered that l was hardhearted enough to make him do as he said he would He promised to take out two awful steam radiators banked up under windows on bota sides of the fireplace and tos fill in the spaces wi&l bookcases with Q straight board nantel running across the whole thing from wall to wall-and when we moved in he accompanied me to ex- ploit the virtues of a regular Carnegie library bookcase that lowered to tEe ceiling and covered one of the long walls on the side of the room.
 CT just want you to notice what I've done for you'll he cried enthusias- tically, waving his hand at the mon you want?'
 and didn't ask for!' said I. And d die if I had to live in the same house with it! So take it out and fix the others!' He looked so grfeyed ai- most wept. For two weeks he left 1t, asking hopefully from day to day if I hadn't changed my mind. I never had, so he extracted the case and moved it down to the garage, where it would be handy to get in the eyept that I had a sudden repentant longing for it. Then they took out the radia< tors and put in the side bookcases and below their tops. The contractor arr gued that the effect was careless and artistic, but kept repeating monotoil- ously, Long, straight board" Long straight board, till he gave in,
 '"The first board fell off the wagon as they disembarked it and split. They sent another in the course of a week and the wood was so green that it curled up in the middle the day after it was put up, till it looked like a Hawaiian canoe ready to shoot the surf. The next board they sent was too short.
 By this time the contractor was looking haggard He tried to con- vince me that it was best to put back the old mantel, three inches below, but baked. I couldn't see it. All through our dealings ran a low, despairing grumble from him about the beauties aof the. discarded side wall bookcase down in the garage. l told him fin- ally to put a roof on it and rent it out for apartments, as 1t was big enough
 Then finally they got a nantel board that fitted, and they sent a man to stain it the morning of the day Mad a luncheon party for fourteen women. Everything we ate was flaw ored with turpentine and oil. I thought the board was nicely fixed when overheard the carpenters talking fin the basement. the house being a regu- lar sounding board.
 .Aw, put it over on herI' advised one. She'll never know the diff I 17ald ing put over till I recalled the radia- tor holes in the floor beneath t2e bookcase were to have been plugged up to keep out the cold. By doing a little sleuthing discovered that they had been left open as the day.
