LETTER WRITING
Yale Review

faJe ReNieW)
 Letter writing is a special talent it may go with a high order of inteliec- tual power. as in the case of some of the enumerated worthies. or with ratb- CT an empty pate: on the whole, in ordinary life. intellectual people are poor letter writers. Matthew Arnold was a great disappointment and to my way of thinking. James Russell Lowell was disappointing, too. with his elaborate wit, his polished style, his ex cathedra decision, on matters of literary taste. But is hard to judge letters of a past generation; turns of phrase vary. that which once was novel becomes stale, the glitter gets tarnished. opinions then full of daring and adventure are now elementary principles Blu tstill as grammarians deduce rules Of grammar from the practices may learn general principles of structure. of framework, of the proper method Of passing from one subject to another. Classical letters should certainly be introduced into the curriculum of schools attended by the children of what used to he known aas the leisure class.

PoIiceman's Happy Lot.

A little Indianapolis miss whose
mother is dead lives with her little
brothers and sister at the home Of
her grandmother. Her father, who Ia
a physician, has his office and home In
another part of the city.
Surrounded by everything that brings
happiness to the heart of child, the
little girls thoughts often wandered to
poor daddy, who was all alone.
One day she surprised her grand
mother with the startling remark,
Grandma, wish daddy was police
man."
IA policeman, dearl Why? Daddy
is physician, and that is very good
profession, you know"
"Yes, grandma" persisted the child,
but If daddy was q policeman he
wouldn't be so lonesome"

and nephew, but Pearson.

He insisted upon his visitors remain
ing, although the latter, when he IN
derstood the situation, was reluctant to
do so.
But a good many minutes passed,
and still they did not come. Pearson,
aware of his companions growing
anxiety, chatted of the novel, of the
people at the boarding house, of any
thing and everything he could think of
likely to divert attention from the one
important topic. The answers he re-
ceived were more and more brief and
absent. At last, when Edwards again
appeared, appealingly mute, at the en-
trance to the dining room Captain
Elisha. with a sigh which was almost
a groan, surrendered.

ENDED SHOW FOR THAT NIGHT
Midget Performers Scented Danger
When They Heard the Ringing OF
Police Patrol Coma.

Two little colored bards from News
alley were giving concert 10 carte
before a Washington hotel. The
crowd which gathered was larger than
any that ever regarded soapbox ora
tor. The boys sang, the dimes flew,
they paused, and sang and danced some
more. The two kids wove in witty
lines as they went, and really made
the thing vaudeville act. But finally
they decided 1t was about time for an
intermission.
"Were ,goin' away" announced the
larger, who was perhaps eight years
old.
Jaw, don't do that" admonished the
crowd.
you didn't treat us right; that's
all."
Dimes few again. The boys started
to sing. They saw that their audience
was growing to capacity crowd. But
they started up on the last tune.
Somewhere out on the East side
some one had had an argument, or
else an automobile had tipped over
for an ambulance was hurrying back
to the city hospital, changing its bell.
The performers heard it. Up looked
the youngest.
"Um, police!' he yelled to his little
partner, and the two of them scurried
as quick as lightning down the nearest
alley. The crowd went on to Its mo.

that his chair tipped backward against

Caroline turned to her brother.

The girl hesitated. She had never
