Shall He study Medicine.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a daily reader of your ad-
vice in The Times. and l value il
highly. l am a young man Of TWEEN
ty-nine years. with three years OF
high school training. an very
anxious to take up a course in
medicine. Do you think II would be
Of advantage for me to do so. in
view Of the fact that 1t would take
six years to complete the course.
W. n. T.
By all means study medicine, if
you have an inclination in that
direction. Some of the most sue
cessful physicians in the country
have had to work their way"
while they were studying and they
have done all the better for not
having things made so easy for
them. A good deal of moral and
mental muscle is developed ia

Every year there is a new crop
of "foundlings." Mothers who lack
the bravery to face the world with
their new little baby, creep in the
Gark to some door step and leave
the child wrapped in blankets-with
a note asking that good care be
taken of child she is deserting. In
this city an entire institution. the
Washington Home for Foundlings,
supported entirely by private sub
scriptions, is devoted to the work
of keeping these little bundles alive
instead of letting them perish on
the doorstep.

FricndshIp Turned To Love.

Friendship Turned To Love.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am 4 young woman in doubt
who needs your advice. a young
man and l have been very good
friends for several years, having
been separated for a year. We
have been corresponding during this
time and l find that he has become
dearer to me than a mere friend,
witici. he is unaware OF.
Our letters have been only Of the
most friendly manner, and his at
titUjc toward me has been on the
same fricHdIy ground.
kindly advise me how | can make
him understand my deeper and
greater feeling for him-without
maKihg myself appear forward.
L. r.
With such solid foundation as a
several-year friendship to rely
upon, you have every reason to
feel encouraged. Such mutual re-
gard indicates congeniality of
tastes, interests and an agreeable
sense of fellowship. And that the
turning of these quail ties into more
tender sentiments is the rule rather
than the exception, we have only
to look around and see how many
marriages have had these qualities
as their foundation.
Do not be too eager to make
him understand your deeper and
greater feeling for him" For
while it is only human and natural
for a man to be flattered by the
Knowledge that a woman loves
him, nothing is apt to be so fatal
as the suggestion of pursuit on
the part Of girl. It just fright
ems Mr.. Muffett away.

Last night Mrs. Roosevelt and I were sitting out on the porch at the back of the White House, and were talking of you and wishing you could be sitting there with us It is de- lghtful at all times, but I think espe- cially so after dark. The monument stands mp distinct but not quite earth ly in the night and at this season the air is sweet with the jasmine and honeysuckle
 All the younger children are at present absorbed in various pets, per haps the foremost of which is a puppy of the most orthodox puppy type. Then there is Jack, the terrier, and Sailor Boy, the Chesapeake Bay dog; and Ell the most gorgeous macaw, with a bill that I think could bite through boiler plate, who crawls all over Ted, and whom l view with dark suspicion and Jonathan, the pie bald rat, of most friendly and affectionate nature, who also crawls all over everybody; and the flying squirrel, and two kangaroo rats; not to speak of Archies pony Algonquin, who is the most absolute pet of them all
 Mrs. Roosevelt and I have, I think read all your stories to the children and some of them over and over again

KIDS WRITE SANTA;
 POSTMASTER BUSY
 READING ABOUT T

With Christmas but three weeks away, the little folks are preparing for the holiday by making known their wants to Santa Claus
 Already the kddies are writing Santa Claus and with promises of be- ing good boys and girls are asking for gifts that range from automobiles to bags of candy
 Mail has been received from all over the state. With and without stamps letters have come addressed to Santy at the Phoenix postoffice. Postmaster Nicholson is personally caring for the messages, in many instances marking them with a special delivery to certain organizations in order that the young sters get the gift of their heart at Christmastide.
 Here are a few of the notes filed with the postmaster:
 Dear Santa Claus:
 T want you to bring me a French harp and a horse and cart and a bow an arrow and some candy and apples and bananas and oranges and grapes. l will be a good boy. l am g years old. Your little friend"
 His brothers taste is much the same for he, too, has asked Santy for a French harp and among his other de- sires is a horse.
 Dear Santa Claus" he writes, T want you to bring me a drum and a gun and some candy and apples and nuts and bananas end oranges and q horse and basket ful of candy eggs and French harp and a horn. I will be a good boy if you will bring the nice presents to me-
 A small girl has put in her claim with Santa Claus as follows:
 Bring me pair of skates and a doll and chair and table and five story books, bag of candy and holl lot of | oranges and appels.''
 Another youngster tried to picture her wants but failed to follow the ex ! ample of the artist, who explained his work with words. What looks to be a | doll is made out in the mass of hiero- glyphics the tiny miss sent through the mail.

UNKNOWN SLAYS
 AGED CLERK Al. .kERST|NC HOTEL
Ferdinand Roessler Shot by
 Assailant at an Early
 Hour Dies Unable to Give
 Definite Clew to Slayer

What for? What for?' Ferdinand Roessler 6S years old, night clerk at the Kersting hotel, was heard to eX- claim at 3:10 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Five shots rang out, and Roes- sler was found a minute later clutch ing a wooden railing in the lobby mortally wounded. He was removed to St. Josephs hospital by Officer C.. D. Tindell of the city police dpeart- ment, and died there at $40 o'clock yesterday morning, without recovering sufficient strength to give either the name or description of his assailant, who remains at large.
 Slight clue to the identity of the slayer has been furnished by Mir. Hastranft of the Pratt Gilbert com- pany. who saw a man run out of the Kersting hotel, dressed in a dark coat, dark hat, and an overccat he thought was brown.
 Mrs. Mary Powell who occupies a room at the hotel just over the lobby, heard an argument between Roessler and another man at o'clock yester- day morning. The voices quieted down. and there was no sound from below until more than an hour later, when Mrs. Powell heard the loud talk ms ioSulou. .oiioi'ly oAtei "oiu 1Ae shots were fired.
 Found Gripping Railing
 Officers Feurriegel Edwards Lucey, Strathy, Smith and Tindel an- swered the hurry-up call sent into the city police station. Roessler was standing, gripping the railing which cuts off the office from the rest oi the hotel lobby, but unable to say more than: "A white man did it. Stimu lants were applied in vain. The only

ether word the wounded man made ineligible before his death was at the hospital, where he asked for his wife An officer was sent to their home on East Polk street and Mrs. Roessler was rushed to the hospital When she arrived her husband was dead
 On the floor of the hotel lobby near where ROessler stood when he was shot was found .3S caliber Smith and Wesson revolver which the night clerk usually kept in the drawer of his desk. One chamber contained an empty shell, and bullet was found imbedded in the plaster to the right of the Central avenue door and foot from the floor.
 Shot Four Times
 The eight wounds in Roessler's body indicate that he was shot four times, and that the fifth shot heard by Mrs. Powell was fired by the aged man in an effort to defend himself Two bull lets had entered his chest on the left side. A third entered at the top of his shoulder and ploughed through. leaving a ragged hole where it emerged. There were two more wounds in his arm. and an abrasion on the back of his head, which might have been caused either by blunt instrument or by a bullet which grazed the scalp.
 Four arrests were made by the police and cosnty authorities yesterday, but all of the suspects were able to estab- fish perfect alibis, and were released.
 Judge Wheeler held an inquest at 3 o'clock at his court rooms on East Monroe street, where a coroner's jury composed of W. D. Rust, c. V. Will Hams, r. E. Latour, s. Freeman Charles Urban and William Morton agreed that ROessler met his death by gun shot wounds by unknown party
 Robbery Not Motive
 Chief Brisbois, with Mrs. Powell and the officers who answered the call tc the kersting hotel, were the witnesses It was established that Roessler though a native of Germany, has beer in this country for 50 years, in the valley five years, and is naturalized American citizen.
 The robbery theory of the murder at first advanced is practically dis i proved by the fact that considerable sum of money was left untouched 1T the cash register by Roessler's assail- ant. Four shells from .32 automatic i revolver, with which the murder was i committed, are the only traces left ty i the latter, and these with the meagel description furnished by Hartranft | comprise the only clues on which tho authorities are operating So far as i. | known Roessler had no persona enemies

BOILED DOWN

Not long ago the editor of an Eng fish paper ordered story of a certain length, but when the story arrived he discovered that the author had written several hundred words too many.
 The paper was already late in going to press, so there was no alternative the story must be condensed to fit the allotted space. Therefore the last few paragraphs were cut down to single sentence. It read thus:
