Dear Foreign Friends:
The girls and boys Of the sixth
grade of Joseph Moore school are
delighted to write to the girls and
boys of France. We are studying
France and We find your country
very interesting. We are glad to
have the privilege OF getting ac-

Richmond is situated on the Ma
tional Road which was built when
the early settlers came across the
mountains in their canvas covered
wagons to settle this country. The
National Road was built from the
year 1902 to 1888, taking &c years.
In those days railroads were un-
known. Everyone Travelled then in
covered wagons. The National Road
runs through West Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana into Illinois. 1t was
built by the National government
and so is called the National Road.
In studying about the history of
France we were very much inter
ested in your country'S old Roman
roads and we would like to know
more about your roads.

for the population Of the United
States which is one hundred five

"A MYSTERIOUS FACE


About the third night they had
been In It, they were all awakened
by a noise that sounded like glass
was being broken. Just a few min.
utes after they saw q face appear
IN the window. Nellie and Walter
screamed; then they saw the face
disappear.
In the morning they went out to
look for signs Of the person. Mel
lie saw that the cellar window had
been broken.
She called. Daddy. the cellar
window has been broken!"
\ Then Mr.. Gordon spied large
foot print near the rose BUSH
Meanwhile the man had broken
the cellar window and cut his fin
gers on 1t.
He ran toward the rose bush
and pushed it aside, then he gave
three knocks on the ground and Il
door opened. He went down a
dark staircase, at the end Of which
there was q long tunnel that ended
In a wall
He then pressed a button and a
door opened.
In the room were two other men.
They said, DO you have the
girl?" ..
The man answered, "No. but I
can get her tomorrow night"
That room was very light. There
were pictures Of ghosts painted on
the wall and very ugly animals
carved on the furniture.
The man pushed another button,
and door opened into bedroom.
That room was pretty. There was
an old-fashioned four poster bed
and a cuckoo clock and many other
things. They had stolen all these
things.
The next night, Nellie's friend,
Bess. asked Nellie over for supper.
About nine O'clock as she was
coming home. she passed the rose
bush. Just then she was grabbed
and taken to the same place the
man had gone. She was very
scared.
About ten o'clock her mother was
getting worried, because Nellie had
said she would be home at nine
o'clock. She telephoned to Bessie |
but she was not there.
They sent policemen all over the
city, but they could not find her.
All the time Nellie was with |
these men. They said she could |

One night Bessie came over to
play with Nellie. She did not know
that Nellie had been stolen. /
She passed the rose bush and
was grabbed the same way Nellie
was. She was taken to the same
room where Nellie was. She was
very scared. She saw a girl sit

This is surprising because there has been
quite general opinion that New York built the Erie
Canal for its own benefit. He admits that the St.

trade on the canal and takes great pride in the new
McDougall barges which alone have made the canal
of any material transportation value, but onits to

as around $aso,oooooo. not $I,oooooo,ooo. for the
waterway complete, and this government will pro-
vide but half of that less amount.
But this not Gov. Miller's only surprising
statement. He made others. He said the Erie con-
meets the Great Lakes with a port "that is open
twelve months of the year" This is technically
correct. But Of just what value the months
from December to April when the Erie Canal as
we'll as all the Great Lakes ports ice-boundf He
said too, there was not "hsrbor on the Great
Lakes which ocean vessels could enter" Maybe;
but it happens that 8ooo 10000 and $4,000 ton ves-
sells with and grain cargoes regularly leave and
enter the Great Lakes ports every day OF the navl-
CATION year and pass through their canals. Just
how large are the boats the governor had in mind,
since it is we'll known that the bulk of the ocean
carrying trade is done by tramp ships averaging
5000 to 5000 tons gross?
He admits also that the water power to be
made available by the St. Lawrence project would
pay all the cost and more for he says: There are
people who would be very glad. in consideration Of

closed by the London Times, with reprint by the
New York Times. that the protocols" are more
than plagiarism being, in fact, largely paraphras-
ing Of the Geneva dialogues" clever satire di-
rcctcd at Napoleon III and itself adaptation Of a
still earlier work.
But while this is conclusive of the source and
falsty of the protocols" there abundant evi-
denee in them that they from enemies of the
Jews and not from the Jews themselves. They are
stupid in their erudity Of method, and bungng in
attempting the supposed objective. Their insinuated

hands, the burglar-like method of placing a copy
where supposed to most harm the Jews, was ev-
dence enough of their false origin.
Copies seem to have appeared in this country
