LETTER FROM MRS. MARY AL
DEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON,
MIR. JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT

MY DEAR JOHN:
do not wonder that you an
nounced to me the news of your adop-
ton of q child through the clipping
from 4 daily paper without any COM
ment. cannot understand why you
would do such a terrible thing, par
ticularly after my telegram to you
which sent Immediately upon receiv-
ing Mrs. Hamilton's letter telling me
that you had some ridiculous ideas of
doing this silly thing.
John, have you no pride of ances-
try? When 1 think that you, direct
descendant of John Alden, should take
into your home some nameless brat
whose mother had no more maternal
love for her offspring than to leave it
More your door, l turn sick. And
that you further have irsulted your
illustrious predecessors by giving that
child not only your name but the
name of the ancestor of whom we are
most proud-John Alden! 1t seems
incredible.
Why John, do you realize that this
child is probably illegitinate? No
woman, no matter how poor, would
give up a child N this way, refusing
to disclose her identity, unless that
child was born in disgrace.
The only reason l can think of
whereby Mrs. Hamilton would agree
to this awful piece of insanity is that
both she and her husband have come,
as you might say, from the soil, and
they have no feeling of the duties and
responsibilities that belong to us who
count among our progenitors the splen-
did Puritan forefathers who built up
this country.
/ do not think l shall ever recover
from this terrible disgrace. OF course.
you know it is all silly nonsense that
Leslie would not have recovered if
she had not had baby given her.
Other women have lost children and
still retained their sanity. Leslie's
mind must be weaker than even !
thought it was.
You must never expect to bring
that child into my house. You must
never expect it to be given. in my will,
any of the heirlooms which have come
down to us from the John Alden fam
lily. In fact, today / am making an
other will and giving all old fur
n;ture and other precious mementoes
of our glorious family life, to dear
Priscilla Bradford. She has so deep
~ sympathized with me in this great
trouble which you have put upon me
that I cannot help but love her more
than ever. Dear Priscilla says she
feels that no one has the right to adopt
a child of doubtful ancestry, and that
she would not think of adopting one
unless it were the child of some one
in her own family, or perhaps in mine.
Ever since ] have read that terri
se article-(to think that such thing
shonld be written about one of my
name, in a public newspaper)-I have
taken to my bed. / consider, it
disgrace that any one belonging to me
should have her name in the paper in
connection with the birth Of a child
You were not mentioned among my
friends until you were christened.
However. since you have married,
John. you have paid very little at
tention to my wishes AMI I expect
we will now drift farther apart than
ever.
Your devoted mother.
MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT.

LETTER FROM ALICE HAMIL..
TON TO MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON.
DEAR. MOTHER.

Although 1 know you intended to
be kind think you should have told
me Of Leslie's accident the moment
it occurred. As it was you let me 60
on for a long time feeling quite hurt
because she had not written me. Now
am filled with remorse that 1 could
have thought for a moment that my
darling sister would have neglected
me when was so far away.
However, I think had l received
cablegram, I should have taken the

The chief point to be considered with paved highways that
they should be built the traffic rather than to be

of Vashon, who were very well
come guests. These little gather
ings are very pleasant and help
full in keeping the community
spirit from getting rusty, as any
one might have observed by
glancing at the long double row
of smiling faces, with the boumt-
eous display of eats between.
Without a doubt a community hall
is desirable addition to any
community for the promotion of
social intercourse and neighbols
illness. Ii is an antidote to stag
nation and social hermitage.

house and the willy wretch is a
connoiseur of feed as he shows a
decided preference for Peter

as for poisons they might as well
be labeled in red letter rat Ian
guage, as he always passes them
up. Drat him!
This is marvellous age of prog
ress, and wonderful in the effic-
lent modes of killing off people by
war which, if sometimes unavoid-
able, is an atrocious, senseless
proceeding. Successful generals

praise but greater than all the
generals Jumped together who
have ever lived is a certain DR..
John Brinkley, who, in the hither-
to obscure little village of Mil
ford, Kansas, where he is daily re-
juvinating impotent insane and
sick people by transplanting goat
| glands. This might seem a joke to
some, but in the short space Of
five years he has given new
lease on life to thousands from all
parts of the world, and will make
bold to say that within very
short time DR.. Brinkley and the
little village of Milford will be as
well known as Lloyd George and
