turned from his trip to the Worlds

again writing editorials. These are
good, but not so humanity interest

is Of course agreeable to an editor,
but in addition it cannot fail to
broaden him aud give him an ability

stick too closely to their Office and
they would find It good investment

Human crcdulity passes all llmita-

story from Chicago: y man WAS on the

Two smiling strangers met him. fooled
him with the story that they had "a
yaaglc handkerchief" which would dou-
bic the strangers money If he would
fold his bank bills within it. After
the operation the strangers told him TO
watch the handkerchief and see his
money grow. They disappeared. They
had his money and the handkerchief
contained waste paper. Does this sound
impossible?
Here Is another story, even more i'm
probable. but true. In New York Il

will answer winter" In summer he
finds II harder to pole or pull his boat
through the waters of the canals than
In winter TO push sledge along while
hp follows on his skates. TO him the
canal is his rond.
The first oddly that struck me when
came into this land of skating de-

to their feet over very heavy socks

"Toots!' The word came in the same
shocked breath from Julia and Mrs. Riggs
"Well, they did And they almost got
to knocking father, too, They said it was
a bore getting father present! They said
it didn't really matter to father what he
got, and"
"Toots, be quiet!" Julia was very stern,
although she Redeemed little.
"You know, mother, it's the same thing
every year." said Julia. "We never know
what to get for father. You don't know
what to get for him yourself. Then how
can you expect us to know"
Mrs. Riggs gazed with reproachful dis
traction from one young face to another.

knobby package on the floor at her feet
and two small ones beside her plate, un-

exhausted eyes.

your father!' she groaned "And what

father; but, then, he never seems to sense
what's given to him, anyway. And it
looks like real old Georgian silver"
"For goodness sake, mother, please

extreme WEAKNESS to her eldest daughters s

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for December 10, 1915

Middle West came in with letter from
her father, who evidently had mathe-
matical turn of mind. He had carefully
divided the sum appropriated for relief
by Congress, by the number of Americans
supposed to be travelling in warning coun-
tries. He wrote to his daughter precisely
what her share would amount to in dollars
and cents, and instructed her not to leave
the American Relief until she had secured
her rights.
In the midst of all this confusion sat
the Hoovers at the switchboard, serene
and sympathetic, and working like galley
slaves. What they really accomplished
was a clearing -house for human necessi-
ties. Fat, well fed, middle-aged women
who had nothing but their trunks to
grieve about, were put in charge of dirty,
half clothed, half starved peasant children
whose mothers had fled with them before
the invading armies; some of these
people had been standing up in cars most
of the time for two or three weeks. By
the extraordinary tact and kindness of the
Committee, peoples woes were made to
neutralize each other. A sick woman who
had been separated from her mother and
little baby took her life. "Don't call it
suicide, boys Mr.. Hoover urged upon
the reporters. "That sort of thing is
likely to be contagious, and we don't
want stampede
Outside Mr.. Hoover's Office some enter
prsing Briton had posted a notice: Brit
ish or American subjects who have lost
their motors on the Continent apply to
A firm hand had crossed out
the word Subjects" and substituted
"citizens."
In Mrs. Hoover's quarters on the floor
below were Americans of every conceivable
color and nationality. The government
funds could legally be used only for
American citizens. But many destitute
mothers with little children had fed from
war zones in search of their unnaturalized
husbands working in America. These
poor creatures, who could hardly speak
English, were infinitely better treated by
the American Relief than the English
wives of Germans were treated by the
English relief organizations. Probably, if
one could get census of nationalities,
the good and the bad would measure
up about the same. One thing, how
ever, may be claimed for our own country
