endure it much longer
I'VE have moved from the hotel
into our own home. thought he
might feel more responsibility as re-
garded me. But it gives him more
license. If only l had listened to Mr..
Graham. He was older. wiser than I
But we think we know it all, then pay
the piper.
This is an awfully blue letter to
send off. Tear it up, Sandra. as soon
as you have read it l wanted YOU
ever happened you would understand.
For after all We have been closer than
other girls.
II am going off in my looks. San
every day. 1 have cried so much
passed so many sleepless nights. that
it is no wonder. look ten years
older than you do, and 1 used to look
younger, and everyone said 1 was
pretty No one would dare accuse
me of being pretty now.- 1 no longer
seem to have any interest in how
look. what wear. Isn't it strange how
man can change girl? If 1 knew
Walter loved me. nothing would be
too much trouble to do to please him.
But now that / am convinced he does
not, nothing seems to count.
Write me soon. Sandra. But say
nothing of what I have said. Walter
might get hold of your letter-he
seems to be Jealous. altho he cares
nothing for me. Remember me to
your nice old husband. and kiss that
wonderful baby for me.-Lovingly.
Rose"
Poor Rose!' 1 said aloud. Then
wave of crimson swept over my
face as I thought that had it not been
for Everett. 1 would have received
Walter Kemp; listened to what
meant less than. nothing to him-a
philanderer.
IT had letter from Rose today"
I said to Everett, when he came in.
| "She is rather blue. She asked to be
remembered to you. 1 think she is
lonely. off there, away from every
one she knows" I added, fearing 1
had not quite kept faith with Rose be-
cause I had said she was 'bl1e."
II am sorry for the child. Kemp
is absolutely without honor as far as
women are concerned. She wouldn't
be warned, SO now will have to make
the best of things. DID you apologize
to Miss Lane?'
YES"
BE very careful not to offend her
again. I desire very keenly to keep
her for Junior"

THE CHOICE
What matters most in life tosyou?
The splendid deeds that you may do.
The fortune or the bit of fame
Which you may in the future claim,
And for a brief few years enjoy
Or all the lifetime of your boy:
II some one came and said: "I'Il give
You fame and fortune while you live
If in return you'll give to me
The man your boy Will some day be.
You shall be great, but he shall faIl"'
Would you consider it at all
What are that youngsters prospects worth
Would you sell them for all this earth?
Would you for all that could be had
Barter the future of the lad.
And sell him to life of shame
That you might know the touch of fame
Would you not rather never know
The clink of gold or glory's glow
Yourself, and have the guarantee
That in the future there would be
Unto your honor and your fnme
A son that's worthy Of your name?

There is no real division of interest
in this country. Intolerance alone can
divide US into classes. We all are. or
ought to be, workers. What is going
on is a struggle for leadership. The
men who spend their time thinking
out a better way of life while other
men are working out a better way OF
life want to take over the plant-they
want to begin at the end and harvest
the fruit. or. better STILL. have others
harvest the fruit for their benefit.
Some of these men honestly believe
that they can serve the mass of the
workers better than the men under
whose leadership the mass of the
workers have steadily advanced to-
ward the satisfaction of all their wants.

TO ENFORCE PROHIBITION

The announced plans of the intern
hl revenue office calls for three
thousand agents working in especial
ly arranged zones for the enforce
ment OF prohibition after July LIST.
Attention will be paid to all cities
where violations are anticipated. Lo-
cal police officers are expected to
aid greatly in enforcing them.
Prohibition is expected to stimu-
late illicit stills, which have flour
ished in tn past mainly among moon
sinners of the Southern mountains
The circulation of literature for
home manufacture of beer, ale, wines
and even distilled liquors brings to
mind plausible source of many
violations. To make liquors under

A Slight Misconception

Inc sporting edltOr opened the
first letter Of the pile before him
and read as follows:
To the Sporting Editor, Daily
Punch I'd like to express my ap-
preciation through your newspaper
of this League of Nations idea. I've
seen lot about it in the papers of
late, and it impresses me more and
more as a mighty good notion, es-
pecially since the king Of England
threw out the first ball game in
London last Fourth OF July. Hon
estly, | never thought I'd live to see
the day. The war has sure done a
lot of big things.
Among other things it convinces
methat a League OF aNtions is no
idle dream, but a real possibility.
There are a good many mathis, of
course that will want to be in it, and
it might be better dope to have two
eight-club circuits rather than one of
sixteen clubs. But that. of course
will be for the naenates to decide.
7 suppose President Wilson after the
Peace Conference will leave such de-
tails TO Heydler and Ban Johnson.
Another troublesome feature. it
seems to me. will be the danger of
making a runaway race of it; the
United States will have practically
a monopoly of all the good players.
and it might be hard keep interest
alive after the first of June.
England ought to have a pretty
good team. but I don't count on much
from France or Italy. neither look
ing to me like better than a second
division proposition. You can't ex-
pect much from Russia. either. for
about twenty years, unless she gets
hold of corking good manager like
Connie Mack or Hughey Jennings.
As for Germany and. Austria, I
wou1dn' let them into the League at
all: Germany would play as she
fought, dirty ball all the way. and
we've got to cut out that sort of
stuff. Turkey I'd let in because I
think that with all them harems La
dies Day in Turkey would make a
big hit. and help the business end of
the game.
There's only one thing that really
stumps me in this whole idea. and
it's going to stump the magnates
too. when they get right down to it.
That is the jumps between series.
Talk about Jump between St. Louis
and Boston! What'l1 that be COM
pared with jump. say, between ia
pan and France, or the little old U.
S. A. and Russia? I'll say they'll
have to play to big crowds or the
travelling expenses and hotel bills
will just about eat up all the receipts.
And you can bet your bottom dol
lar on this, that there'll be no soft
six months season TO rthe players
It'll take maybe four weeks for the
United States outfit to get to Japan,
and after that thereIl be the long
haul across the Trans-Siberian to
Petrograd or Moscow for the Rus
sian series, and so on into western
Europe, so a year will be none too
much.
And what about games postponed
on account of rain? They have a
rainy season in Japan, understand,
and a whole series might have to be
called off on account of wet grounds.
It'll be no cinch to pull it off, take
it from me. but it'll be a great thing
for baseball if they can put it over.
Do you suppose, you could get me a
season pass?
