BELOVED AND HEROIC
 PRELATE OF BELGIUM
 HELPED VICTORY LOAN

Cardinal Mercier, the Grand Old Man." the beloved and indomltable hero of Belgium, was subscriber to the Victory loan. In the following characteristic letter to Cardinal Gib- hons. he sent in his subscription with a touching expression of his gratitude for what America has done for his distressful people:
 Cardinals Letter
 Archdiocese of Malines.a 2 Dear and Venerable Colleague
 For long time I have awaited an occasion of testifying to the noble American nation the ardent thanks of the Belgian people for the inestima- ble services, rendered by them to our country and the world, not alone for the material and financial help, so generously conferred upon distressed families, but especially for the great example of their chivalric virtues.
 Without doubt, I have eagerly de-
  peal to Your Emminence and to the fattering invitations, which have come to me, in great numbers, on the part of those who, in the United States and Canada, represent the moral ideal of Christian society. l wished to come in person and tell your fellow citizens of my admiration and grati- tude, but I do not see how 1 can ar range the time, which stay of some weeks in your midst demands, before next autumn. I ever awaited an oc- casion of telling you, without delay, the expression of my sentiments. It seems to me that occasion is vol untarily offered me at this moment, and I seize upon it eagerly. I understand the American congress, through the medium of it's noble Presi- dent, invites the public to subscribe to a last loan, "The Victory Loan."
 My financial contribution is insig- nificant know; but am not unmind- full of the teaching, which we preach to the faithful: If you have much, give much; if little, then give of the little you have"
 have little, but that little is what you, my dear brothers of the great American republic, have in great measure given to me.
 The joy is mine of giving something, no matter how little I have received. beg you, therefore, do not refuse to accept my very modest contribution of $1,000 to the Victory loan. Be good enough, Your Eminence, to ask your fellow-citizens to regard, not so much what give, but the loving and grateful heart, which offers 1t; and accept. pray you, the homage of my veneration and my affectionate devotion.
 Desire,
 CARDINAL MERGER,
 Archbishop of Malines. P. S.-I beg those, who have 90 kindly addressed invitations to me to be their guest, either at religious ceremony or assembly. to be good enough to regard this present letter as a provisional reply to their letter or cablegram. sl

AN APPRECIATION
(To the Valdez Miner)

Really, you know, I'm so f1attered to think you have noticed my stuff" at last. Now that the Valdez Miner knows the Cordove Poetess CD exists Il, being more or less identified with this person, feel that I have not lived in vain! We expect our friends to tol crate us and sometimes to commend us; we are also unsurprised when our enemies criticize and berate us. All we'll and good. We can appreciate the former and even bear up under the latter, but the one too dreadful hap pening, which crushes and annihilates us is to remain unnoticed! So before proceeding I make profound obeisance and I thank you,-I thank you, deep down.
 First of all, am sorry to disappoint your understanding, but the "one weety-teenty kiss" which has caused something akin to excitement in your Sleeping City, was not of the Cordova variety. As is true of all things poets write, they are practically without ex ception merely suppositious incidents instances, experiences, etc,-mere fancies of the imagination. So also was this particular effusion, from which you do me the honor to quote Admitting "infatuation" was purely imaginary,-while letting my "fancies wander" I did not limit their realm to Cordova, nor to Alaska,-a place SC far removed from the center of things and the real world where wheels SC around, I know nothing of the Cor dova kiss, save from rather dlsln terested observation, but I can vel
The Cordova daily times., 1919-06-10

believe that the herein discussed poem @ might prove startling read ing as descriptive of either the free or paid for kisses indulged in, in the Copper City.
 If Milton's Paradise Lost," Homer's "Iliad" and "Odessy" and other like works were really all personal chron- icles; if poor Bill, dady of all the poets in the world, lived a hundredth part of the marvellous plays he wrote, then surely his life must have stretched a hundred years, at least.
 You know, just as I became really interested in your article, (which al though containing many errors, con- mon to prose writing, is not so badly done) I was keenly disappointed and chagrined to read that you have "al- lowed old age to creep upon you" that your illusions are dead and that only via the Castor Oil route can you revive your dropping enthusiasms. Alas! Life is short and feeting at the most and one day we must all reach your state; but what comfort, to know that when that sad day over- takes us, we shall be able to buy a perfectly good imitation of lost ecstas- ies from our druggist at 10 cents per ounce.
 Think not I like thee less
 Because thy faults see; Poor man, truly like them tOo,- For they are part of thee! c. P. (This c. P. means Cordova Poetess. Do not confuse with Carlisle Packing Company.)
