A Real Estate Editorial

ought NOT to take more than 500 for it. That would Be
the proper and fair return
'But Mrs Blank gets $3.50 for her house, and want
that much for mine.''
"But that is toe much and will help draw attention to
Washington high-priced town. and Congress will do
what 1t can by drastic laws to take your house from you

and get $780, and when Congress comes along with rent

There's the typical instance.
The real estate brokers' who scarcely anything IN

ask for PROPER return only on their property. The
brokers merely agents. and being clear headed and
long sighted, they know what it to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg They realize the necessity for

and they realize that unless individual property owners act
reasonably Congress will take the situation into its hands
with unreasonable law.

MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Some time ago l met q soldier
whom 1 have learned to care for,
and 1 think my love is returned.
About six months ago he left the
city. his entire company being sent
TO Philadelphia. I heard from him
regularly, while he was in Philadel-
phia. Not long ago he left for his
home town in New York. Before
leaving he wrote me q letter tell
ing me he was going away. Upon
arrival in his home town he wrote
me a postal.
Now, Miss Fairfax. what ! want
TO know (as l haven't heard from
him for some time) is it right for
me to write him, as I know he is
back in Philadelphia. or should
wait for him to write. I know his
address, but ! do not want him to
think ! am running after him, yet
would hate TO lose his friendship.
TROUBLED.
II would seem as IL absence was
making your soldier boy fonder of
some one else. And yet it is al
ways wise to give q congenial
friend the benefit OF a doubt. You
might give him one more chance
with a bright little letter, not &C
cusing him of neglecting you, but
about things in general, and see if
that brings any developments. If
not, I'd try to forget him.
He Has GrOyEn Geld.

Oysters In IndiGna3


Born in the shadow of the studio Of
Lew Wallace, boasting a literary dip
In Riley's "Ol' Swimmin' Hole" y
swapping yarns with Kin Hubbard,
sitting next to Meredith Nicholson
on a Pennsylvania street car, and
performing various other kindred
scholarly feats, and knowing posi-
lively nothing about oysters in In
diana, I feel doubly qualified to write
authoritatively on the subject en-
crossing the attention Of your intelli-
gent readers. Anyone can tell by the
foregoing sentence that it was not IN
vain that I lived in Indiana absorbing
its atmosphere of words and phrases.
Therefore, why shouldn't l write
about oysters? There were q will
not say "are'O oysters or mussels, in
Riley's swimming hole, near Green
field, Ind, but they were never
featured In the restaurants. Ever
since the French settled at Vincennes
where Alice Of old Vincennes lived
oysters were the chief crop OF the
Wabash with its far away banks,
and the pearls still sell for seventy
five cents a quart.
