GRATEFUL FRENCH KiDDlES
EXPRESS THANKS FOR AID

Mrs. A. G. Hodgins, who is in
charge of the collection of funds for
little children of France made orphans
by the war, has received two pathetic
but grateful letters from those who
have benefited by the funds already
forwarded. One of the letters is from
Roger Vatinel, who writes:
Il am very grateful to you, madame,
for having sent me the aid, which
makes me think that the little child
rem of America are not forgetting the
little French children"
The other letter was from the moth
er Of Jean and Francois Vasselon in
which she expresses for the two
children the deepest gratitude for the
aid given.

Hathorre, One o. Judges Who

A gravestone which is 200 years old
is one Of the things of historic inter

sightseers to Salem, Mass. It is the
gravestone of Col. John Hathorne, who
died May 10, 1717, and who was buried
in the Charter street burying ground ia
Salem. Colonel Hawthorne was an an
cestor of the famous Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. who is best known as the au-
thor of ''The Scarlet Letter." The colo
mel was one Of the judges who tried
the Salem witches, an incident which
Salemites are glad to forget.
It will be noted that there is dif-
ference in the spelling Of the two Haw-
thornes. According to report, Natha.

which was brought on the family by
reason Of the colonel's connection with

WHAT SHE USED TO ENDURE
Woman Tells Of Things to Which She
Submitted Before She Quit "Grum-
bling" and Began "kickino."

Grumbling, complaining and "kick-
ing" are not synonymous terms; the
first two are as rule effectless,
while the latter is effective, generally
speaking. A woman who gave up the
first and took to the last, reducing
it to fine art, tells what she used
to endure before she got the habit of
complaining to the proper authorities
when things did not suit her.
II would endure inattention from
statesmen or women, and go away
from the shop feeling angry and I'M
satisfied she says. II permitted
receiving tellers in savings banks
to bark sharply at me through their
barred windows. Rudeness - nay
even insolence-from street car con-
ductors and others of that ilk,
passed by in silence; meekly I walked
round huge distractions on the
sidewalk placed there by firms who
were breaking the laws Of my city by
80 doing; unwillingly paid exor-
bitant taxi fares rather than argue
with the cnauneur-yet, l paid; let
walters browbeat me into eating in

and get what / was paying for: I
submitted to the demands Of the
janitor Of my apartment that should
take my milk and ice from dealers
who paid tribute to him In petty
graft. rather than from more depend
able milkmen and ice sellers: per
mitted gas men to be volubly imper-
tinent. Yea, all these things did l
do, and many others, because I did
not have the nerve to stand up for
my rights and because, like many
lone woman, I did not want
TO get into an argument with any
