an Italian was vigorously grinding
from the instrument. At the end OF
each dance the monkey would gather
what few coins the onlookers offered
him. The Italian evidently was not
pleased with the amount he received
for he frowned as the monkey handed
him the coins. There was suddenly q
stir in the back part of the crowd and
turned to see man OF apparently
great wealth. The organ-grinder was
evidently struck with new idea Tor
he began to smile and ground his
organ with renewed strength. At the
close of the dance the wealthy man
gave the organ-g grinder a look that
does not keep company with gener-
, GUS gift, and said II give none OF my
money to an able bodied man who will
not work." and passed on through the
crowd.
Over the organ-grinder's face
passed an expression of genuine dis
appointment. He then muttered an
oath and took his organ and monkey
under his arm and walked down the
street.-Mabelle MantZ, '22.
The following letter is from one OF
our popular Spencer young men,
Francis Moore, who is serving his
country and was written to his father,
H. C. Moore:
Whittlich, Ger, Mar. 10, 1919.
Dear Dad and all:
Well | received your letter, also
mothers. Received them both the
same time altho they were written
a week apart. That is very COM
mon occurrence at both ends OF the
line, One came thru in 15 days, also
received one from Dorothy that was
only enroute IA days. That is doing
fine.
! Am sending you some views OF
Coblenz under separate cover IN a
large envelope. Hope it reaches you

by that time, there is liable not t

Y they have to eat.
