 The car was crowded and a young lady with a strikingly beautiful face and sylph-like figure had just entered as these words were uttered. The. speaker, fine, manly little fellow of 10 had risen at once and stood smiling in front of her, prompt to obey the gen. erous impulse that had inspired him.
 So unusual a sight in an s. P. car could not but awaken surprise. The passengers craned their necks. Some Uttered audibly, and a mortified look came over the face of the fair passen- ger as she indignantly turned her back to the precocious youth, who straight way resumed his old position.
 He had been sitting on his fathers. knee.

ed prizes for the best letters entitled What I Am Most Thankful For" The following contribution from a woman who is thankful for twenty years spent with an unselfish husband, won third prize.
 What I am most thankful for, un- occasionally, is for twenty years of married life with an unselfish man; a quiet, studious, witty man that child ren and dogs love and understand
 "A man that gave up his college career that he might help his parents and give his young brother chance.
 "A man who today supports his old mother in her own home so that she can still feel independent-inst of in his home, where the expense would be less.
 "A man who has honor and duty written in his soul, where they always remain, so that he does not need to carry "a rabbits foot for luck
 "A man who has twice had money that represented years of savings swept away in a few weeks swept away through a supposed friend; but honor called for him to stand to the guns, and he did not finch.
 "Jt is easy. enough to be pleasant
 When life flows along like a song,
 But the man worth while
 Is the one who can smile
 When everything goes dead wrong
 This man has worked much harder than many men. He has not complain ed; he has kept cheerful, brave, noble, through it all. David Grayson would like to know him.
 ''He has pity for mankind, as they know not how to live for the good in life-pity for the downtrodden and criminals and looks forward to the time when the old world will be bet ter through evolution and education.
 Tt is a test of character one has to watch money so as to make every dollar count to best advantage to remain generous still and keep from becoming stingy. Pardon me, for 1 know I have tried to stand shoulder to shoulder with this man and for me it was a fight to keep generous.)
 We both wanted to do great deeds, big, wonderful things in this life, but have learned to give ones self in the thousand and one little deeds of every day that count for comfort and happi- ness to others.
 For instance: Business takes this husband of mine many miles away to a country town where in the spring he can gather large baskets of trailing arbutus. We give this to the sick and the aged. We especially try to find people that knew and loved this dain- ty blossom in their childhood. Later the field daisies come, and we use them; but best of all, for friends and neighbors this man brings fresh eggs, butter and fruit. No charge is made for the time or trouble, but there is a deep satisfaction in being able to help others even ever so little.

which was described I'm an interview
