LETTER FROM
MISS NELL DRAKE.
Tells Of the Happiness Produced by
the Dolls, and Thanks the
Divers.

ulVeESs
The doll party, with the trip to
China, given at the home of Mrs.
E. S. Drake last fall, just prior to
sending a large number of dolls,
donated by loving friends of Port
Gibson to the Chinese children
taught by Miss Nell Drake, is Wv.
id in the memory of all who en-.
joYed that unique aud historical
entertainment.
Now, We give the sequel, in the
form of letter from Miss Drake
to the friends of her childhood,
telling of the reception of the gifts
and thanking the givers:
Sungkiang, China,
Dec. IS, 1915.
Dear Friends:
must write aud tell you how
much pleasure the dolls have given
us. The pleasure came to me
three times: once in the joy of an.
ticipation, once in the fun ] had
in opening all the boxes and look
ing at the names of the givers, and
again in the pleasure of the pupils
in receiving. / am sure all of you
would have enjoyed seeing our
happiness over your lovely gifts.
Fortunately at the time the box
es of dolls arrived, all the girls
were in school and / succeeded in
smuggling them upstairs and lock-
ing them up without a soul know
ing what was going op. The secret
has been pretty well kept, but the
last week or two the little children
have been asking me about dolls,
and as l refused to answer they
had a pretty shrewd notion they |
were going to get some, and were
correspondinglV tickIed. 1t is too
cute to see the way the little ones
switch around, when they think
hey have discovered something of

lnpack the dolls and look at all

md saw all the beautiful dresses.

cen each one of you and had bad
little talk with you. AS l exam
ned each dainty garment | wished
could have the tun of writing to
acb one personally, but / realized
could not do that, SO I hope each
+ you may feel this a personal
stter.
Last week we bad a faculty
leeting to make plans for the best
Tay of giving the dolls. AS the
oils had party wishing them
oodby, we decided they should a
ave a party to welcome them to =
hina too. Each teacher was as +
gned table to decorate, and the c
oils were divided out among the c
.bles. Then came the problem b
cur two men teachers, who also n
anted share in the fun. They Il

for The foreign ladies, so Miss
Peacock aud took over The re
sponsibilitY Of the men. We took
the center table without any dolls.
Each child came to US, drew a
number and then went to search
for corresponding number on
doll. Each child then had an op-
porlunity to examine every doll.
After the dolls were to be distrib
uted, we decided we would have
music and refreshments.
Well, at last the great day,
Christmas eve, arrived. The old
er girls decorated the room beauti
fully with evergreens, tissue paper
chains. flags and red bads. l.
looked very festive indeed and hle
decorations are still up. AZ ha,i
past two all the children assem-.
bIed in the study ball where l an.
nounced TO them what was the
order of procedure, and told them
about the kind friends 10 America
who were sharing their Christmas
Joy with them. Then all marched
to the chapel where the tables
were placed. Miss King brought
over her Victrola to play fer them
so they went in to the sound of
music. They couldn't walk in,
they just few, and wish you
could have heard the hubbub when
they saw the dolls. There is no
doubt about their excitement and
pleasure. l let them uuzz tat
the top of their voices) to their
hearts content until l thought that
all had had chance to see the
dolls, and then ! tapped the bell
for them to come and draw their
numbers. You SHOULD have seen
the wild rush, but l managed to
escape with my life, and each
child, big and little, got her doll.
Then they, with smiling faces, had
to bring the dolls to show me
what they had. Last night they
would walk past my room door
and say in English for my benefit,
81 love my doll, " 81 love my ba.
by" There We're many happy
faces over their gifts.
We were quite amused over one
of the men teachers. When the
fun was at its height and the girls
were getting the dolls this old
brother walked up to me. put his
face as close to my ear as he could
get it and whispered, "Won't you
please give me a doll, too2" Il
told him l dldn't think l would
have enough, and be looked dread
fully disappointed. Alter every
body bad doll. ! found there
were a good many over, SO 1 con
cluded to give the teachers each
one, as they seemed as anxious to
have one as the girls. We let the
men teachers 60 up first to select
theirs, and it was quite amusing to
see them comparing the relative
merits of the dolls, before they
made their choice. Then each of
the other teachers bad one. After
that there were enough left over
for me to take some to the four,
little girls in the Bible school, and
to give one to the preachers little
girl, so now We have disposed of
all, and many hearts are happy.
The girls have been playing
Tolls all day, and have showed
more pleasure overfhesesthau they
usually do over anything they get.

one otyou. Lam very grateful'io

HETTy CIR ElEN.

BY the death of Hetty Green, known
as the richest woman in the world
there will be reopened the stories Of
the way in which she has amassed
her great fortune which varies all
the way, in the estimation Of people
who are supposed to have some idea
concerning it, from $2OG0O0O0 to
100000 coo. There viii be told again
the methods which she has followed
in the world of finance, her way of
living viii get renewed attention and
she will be referred to as the great
example for those who need to or
would practice shreEvd economy.
L is not to be forgotten, however.
hat Mrs. Green was heir 10 millions
many years ago and the story of her
life to a large degree surrounds the
manner in which She was able to put
that legacy to such use that it would
not only be properly protected but
would be many times increased. Many
people would have been satisfied to
have kept It intact and 10 have lived
handsomely off the income. and even
then have Joined the list of those who
are known as prominent phiIanthro-
pists but that was not her way. and
this arOuses more interest from the
fact that she was a woman and pIav-
ed Q part in the financial world which
few Of her sex would have cared to
do had they been in q like position
Hetty Green was q woman Of strong
ideals and she could not be parted
from them. They were bred in the
bone and she could no more shake
them off than she could squander her
wealth. She made herself a special
ist and was recognized as such by the
fnanciers, but when it came to econ
omizing she displayed by her methods
of living a disposition to go as far in
one direction as too many others do
in the other. She unquestionabIv got
the kind Of enjoyment that she sought
out of it, and she lived to a ripe old
age.

From what has been intimated re-
gardiug the note which has beeen sent
to this government by General Car
rama in response to the CommuniCa-
tons from Secretary Lansing, it ap-
pears that the head of the Mexican
de facto government has climbed
down off Of his high horse. 1t is fair
TO presume that he has come to rec
ognize the position in which ne has
been placed by his inclination to as
sumo a defiant attitude, that he ap-
Dreciates his inability to carry on a
successful war against this country,
that he has not done all that he could
TO have prevented the conditions
which led up to the crisis and that
he fully understands what the effect
would be Of bringing on strife be
tween the two cOuntr
When it is claimed unoficiaIlv that
he has assumed q corciliatory attf-
tude it is only what was to be ex-
peCted under the circumstances. Car
rama, by taking such a stand shows
the best judgment that he has mani
Tested in a long time. He displays an
inclination to prevent war, instead of
encouraging it, and he therefore dis
plays a consideration for Mexico
which is Of the greatest Importance,
especially if he is going to pose as an
advocate Of paCifiCatiOn instead Of
adding fuel to the anarchy which con-
tinues to prevail there and bolster
ing up bandit rule.
Just what the influence was that
caused him to switch about is not as
yet disclosed, though he has apparent
" listened TO those representatives of
other Central and South American re-
Dublics who have been working to
prevent a clash between the countries.
Tt was nevertheless high time for
him to take the chip off his shoulder
and put his fighting spirit behind him
and it is to be hoped that he will
continue to show the Improvement in
future negotiations which it is indi-
Gated that he has displayed in his re-
ply to this government.

THE Pennsylvania APPEAL


The possibility of q strike by the
brotherhoods Of railroad men is q
matter which causes much concern
among the railroads of the country
They all know what such a thing
would mean. and it can be appreciated
by the public, which would feel the
effects in more ways than one that
every effort should be made to reach
an agreement which will be in &C
cOrdance with the facts in the case.
In order to set its employees, who
number a quarter Of a million. to
thinking seriously on this subject and
at the same time to call their atten-
ton to the manner in which the sys-
tenn has been inclined in the past to
treat its Workmen, the Pennsylvania
road, through it's president, has post
ed an appeal in all its stations set
ting forth that no just reason for in
terrupting the service, such as would
be done if a strike takes place, exists
It points out that the railroads have
offered to arbitrate every question
raised by the demands which have
been presented and calls attention to
the fact that the representatives. of
the. men have rejected this offer. 1t
is the hope of the railroad manage
ment that the men receiving strike
ballots, who number IS per cent of
the employees of the. system will vote
against a strike and that all other
employees viii use their influence to
that end, it being held that such
course will preserve to each one of
The employees unbroken earning power,
to the public uninterrupted service
and to the railroad the continuance
Of the earnings by which alone it can
perform its public duties.
1t remains to be seen what effect
this appeal will have, but there ap-
pears to be no question but What it
is made in the spirit Of fairness, that
it is a sensible effort which has been
undertaken and that it should get full
consideration by railroad men not
DnIy on that system but on every rail-
road system that. is. concerned.

AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE

At a time when the country is ex-
periencing a falling off in revenue and
when it is being forced to consider
new taxation for the purpose of meet
ing the large expenses which condi-
tons make necessary, it is impossible
to overlook the action which has, been
taken by the citizens of Rtpon, Wis
cousin. where the ambition has pre-
vailed for some time, as in many
other cities of its size, to have a fed
eraI building.
This city, which has population
of 5000, sought after a slice Of the
public building appropriation and is,
if the measure goes through as pro-
posed, to get SIS, 900 for a postof1ce
building. Recognizing that the coun-
try has greater need for it's funds in
other directions the people Of that
community have petitioned congress,
asking that this appropriation be
turned towards national defense
This is a bit Of self sacrifice, which
will not build a battleship or provide
for the maintenance of an army in
the field for a very long period, but it
all helps in meeting such OUTLAWS as
the country must make if it is going
to properly protect itself.
Inc jest par VI II Ill - LIltL LllGL Z
is recognition Of the fact that there
is no need for undue haste in the
erection Of a public building in Ri
pom. Such a proposition can wait. It
is a large item for such a small place
but no more than others are seeking
and willing to take despite the better
uses to which the money could be
put at this time for the good of the
whole country. There may be other
cities whose citizens will be impressed
by the action of this Wisconsin city
but it will be the first time that hay
ing gotten a sembIanca of a clutch on
the pork barrel they have been willing
to let go without a struggle. The &C
ton nevertheless should get the
thoughtful consideration of congress
when it comes to acting upon this big
appropriation bill. The people of
Ripon have unquestionably offered
some good advice.

It is the anniversary Of our declara-
ton of independence, an independence
which later we achieved and which we
have for a century and a third pre-
served. What to US in this time that
rocks the world does that independ-
ence mean? What means our free re-
public? What is it's place in world in
fuence today? Waterman, what Of
the night and what of the future? Are
we steering or are we drifting? In
either case, quo vadis? ?" What is our
independence and what is our patriot
ism? Much of history, all of our fu-
ture, are bound up in the answer to
these questions. This is a time when

ciple and ideals are challenged to take
