A woman whose husband is out of
town for a few months on business.
went to bed sick about it, fearing that
people thought they were separated.

sway him against his better judgment.

A LETTER TO "PICK."
Well. Pick. 1 got your little note.
with its little touch of sunshine. 1t
came by early mail today. and its ar
guments are fine. And so I'll answer
it right here, and save a postage
stamp. but I'll make it short for fear
l might get the writer's cramp. Yes.
Pick. little Norwood lad. each month,
gets his American Boy" and when it
comes, he goes hog-wild, he's filled
plumb full of joy. He reads. and
reads, and reads, some more, he doesn't
want to eat He'll sit up half the long,
long night, losing lots of sleep. And.
Pick. if you knew this little lad, as 1
have learned him now, you'd appre-
ciate his goodness and love him, too,
I'll allow. He's as deep as the mighty
ocean, and true blue to his little
friends; he'd go to = for them. his
lovin' never ends. And some day. soon.
I'll bring him out, just to call on you,
cause 1 want you to meet him, so you
can know him, too. But he surely
loves that magazine, and it does him
SO much good. I'm mighty glad you
suggested it, I'm sure no other would.
And at this time, I'm mailing you two
bucks for the book. 1 confess. 1 rath-
er neglected you in this matter, 1 over
looked. 1 hope you'n get it safely.
and when you spend these iron men,
that you'll get as good for your money
as I did for these l send. And your
very careful deduction that 1 am n. S.
A. was nicely figured in a measure,
as 1 write one every day. But what
you ask about my past, if I'd ever been
to Jail, or had 1 preached the gospel
on those two things you failed. You
may think 1 write like either, but
there you've got me wrong, cause
I've never been in jail. nor the g'&pel
have 1 sung. The reason for your de-
QucIlOn, winch OlSIuFDS my poor DralI
pan, is not caused by Jail or preaching
