Letter TO Silas p. Maxim.

(The following letter, recently received by Mr..
Maxim, Ii It's own explanatory
CHICAGO, March Q, 1917.
MR. SILAs P. MAXIM,
South Paris, Maine.
Ny dear old Schoolmaster:
have often thought of you and have
wished I might see and hear from you.
In the Oxford Democrat of February 81,
noticed with much interest an account
Of the celebration of your Goth birthday,
and am very glad to see that You are
still here and in pretty good health for
four score years and ten.
In reading the article / was carried
back probably about 50 or 70 years to .
time when q young man came into the
field where my father and my brother
and were at work. and made applica-
ton to teach school in our district. Do
you remember?
Well, you were not engaged that day
but you were engaged later, after dis
trict school meeting bad been held. And
/ remember several little instances
which occurred during the winter that
you taught there. One thing In particu-
lar, remember that You were splendid
penman; and that at noon time you
were boy with the rest of the big boys
but In the schoolhouse you were always
master az well Is friend to all, both big
and little.
remember one little incident that
happened, that you probably have for
gotten. You had called up the spelling
class thatI was In, to study their lesson
before recitation; and We were boys and
girls, and We got to laughing; and you
cuffed my ears! / thought then that !
was not to blame; that 1 did not deserve
II. But never laid 1t up against you.
I remember, also, at the close of school
you gave me cents-for something,
am not quite sure what, but / suppose
that had bad about three decent les
sons.
also remember later on In years,
when you were supervisor OF the town
and was schoolmaster; and one time
you came In to visit the school and of
course you were invited to speak to the
scholars; and i suppose you felt it was
necessary to praise the teacher q little
and 20 you went on to state how I had
been scholar OF yours and / was Q re-
markably nice boy and you bad never
had occasion 10 punish me In any way.
/ thought then that I would get up and
state to tho class that you were not alto
gether truthful, but / concluded that
would not do, to accuse the supervisor
ofthe town Of being IN uutruthful man
because knew you meant it Ill right.
Well, when I read the account Of the
celebration they gave you and the TO
marks that we're made, said to myself,
/ wish that had been there to have
added my testimony to your kindness
and always warm friendship. You Ger
tainly have been an honor to the town
and friend to every body, and always In
the right az far a. anything that i ever
saw. And want to add this, my testi-
mony, 10 the merited appreciation that
your friends gave you.
Possibly I may be in Paris next July,
II my health 10 ~ good - VI 10 now; and
II ! am and you are there. i hope to see
you.
With best Wishes for your good health
and that you will some time celebrate
your Tooth birthday, remain, - ever,
Your friend and one Of your scholars.

Following is the aneodote of dainty
little miss Of perhaps half-dozen years
who attended divine worship in one of
the Bath churches the other Sunday and
occupied one of the front pews: When
the collection was being taken, as the
plate was passed her way, she arose and
engaging the usher's attention she whis-
pered In his ear, "My mamma don't have
to pay for me-" evidently thinking that
she was exempt, az in the street car. By
a mastery stroke of self-oontrol the
usher managed to keep straight face.

about. I never have wasted bread. but
/ suppose l could do something with
the crumbs"
81 remember my mother used to
make a bread pudding that was de-
licious, and she used to fry all sorts
of things in crumbs" reflected George.
"Well, l guess I could if put my
mind to it,"
There was tinge of annoyance in
Ida's tone, and George FASTENED to
say that he was quite sure she could.
He departed for the Office and Mrs.
Steers set about revising the bill of
fare. Her cook book did not seem to
abound in recipes of an economical
order, and she began searching through
some papers she had laid aside for the
new instructions for reducing the high
cost of living.
The dinner that evening showed
some signs of attempted reduction, but
even though Steers might have felt the
shortage he knew his wife was only
trying to carry out his suggestion, and
he said nothing. AS time went on the
bread crumbs combinations which fire.
quently appeared seemed rather the
most unsuccessful results of the econ
omizing process. Apparently the "last
straw" was laid upon the long suffer-
ing husband one evening when he at
tempted to eat mixture posing as a
pudding. For Ida saw that the dish
had been set aside, and that hubby was
pretending to have developed a sudden
fOndness for bread and butter.
II thought" she said regretfully,
"you liked bread pudding"
Eyes, l did. But that might have
been because / was younger. Ones
taste changes. Then mother used to
put a lot of raisins and all sorts of
things in"
"Oh yes, no doubt. And by the time
she had got through with the raisins
and the eggs, and the rich cream she
had a pudding too expensive to make
II any economy to save the crumbs,
snapped Ida.
Mother never was an extravagant
cook. At least I've always heard 9th
ers say So" answered George.
AS very large oak can grow from
d very small scorn, SO can q good
