lieved to be incendiary seriously dam
aged three buildings of Sing Sing
prison. 1t started in the brick stor-
age house and spread to the black

the prisoners were in the yard when

The belief that the fire was incendi-
airy is strengthened by the fact that
the water main supplying the prison
was cut, yesterday, making the water
supply entirely inadequate.

Milwaukee, Wis,
Nov. II

MY dear Ward:
1t happened in Milwau-
kee. The snow and sleet
had been making war upon
the fur-clad people of the
street but the elements
had ceased their lombard
ment, the sun shimmered in
the western sky and the tall
snow-covered buildings lift
ed themselves as altar
stairs to heaven.
Looking across Water
street | saw a poor, crippl-
ed newsboy. His face was
wan, his clothes were torn;
one hand held some news
papers, the other hand was
useless, while the same par
alysis was seen in his feet
and knees which made
walking slow and difficult.
People were complaining
about delayed street cars
seemed too anxious to get
home to pay attention to
the newsie, who pleadingly
looked into their faces, 81
leptly saying: please buy
a paper"
Something in his big
brown eyes attracted me
and | went over to him,
gave him a nickel for which
he gave me the paper, a
smile and a "thank you"
| asked if it had been a good
day for business, he said: Il
only sold thirty cents worth
today" but his face bright
ened as he added, 81 sold a
dollars worth yesterday"
This weather must be
bad for you," l remarked,
to which he replied; mo,
not much, and there's a lot
of folks worse off than
me-"
"How can that be?" I
asked as / looked at his sad
deformity and helplessness.
Why" he replied, 81
was telling my mother yes
terday that was so glad |
wasn't blind like some folks
are, for l can see the hills
and pretty scenery and the
tall buildings, and pointing
his hand toward a marble
fronted mansion he said:
"Ain't it fine?"
! talked with him about
his home, said Goodbye"
and went away thinking of
the sermon of cheerfulness
and content he had just
preached to me, who had
been annoyed because of a
couple hours delay from a
late train.
AS l thought more of the
little fellow and his philoso-
ply it made me glad that
for so many years in the
store we had striven to
make trading a pleasure for
our people. While profit is
the principal thing we are
in business for don't for a
minute lose sight of the fact
that the comfort and con-
tentment of our trade is
really of as much value as
the profit on their pur-
chase.
Sincerely,
