Excerpts from some Of the letters'
The Introduction
Ever since 1 met you the other
night, 1 have been thinking Of you.
1t seems incredible that we never
knew each other before. I can hard
ly wait until we see each other
again.
FIattery
you are the queen of women.
You would inspire any man to great
deeds.
Don't you realize your charm
your inimitable appeal? If you only
knew your power, you would be a
dangerous woman instead of mod
est, adorable one?"
Despair
81 can't believe you love me. 1t is
inconceivable that a young girl like
you should love an old man like me.
'I feel blue today. 1t is only the
thought Of your love for me that
keeps me going on
II want to creep into your heart,
dear, and rest there.
when 1 think Of you, seem to
exist in a world of my own. l am
warmed by the sunlight of love You
say you think of me often. 1t is
sweet to realize that our thoughts
Of each other are being flung back
and forth in space"
Other chapters on Passion"
PHILOSOPHY" and Humility" will

Mailed From Here
Miss Grischeaus attorneys intro
duced 246 letters, twenty-eight tele-
grams and fifty postcards to support
her story that the surgeon proposed
marriage to her in 1922. DR.. Ems
minger was alleged to have mailed
the letters from Indianapolis, Cleve-
land and Erie.
Typical of the ardent phraseology
was the following:
81 wanted to be with you, but the
best thing l could do tonight was to
stand in front of your picture. 1t
talks to me-yes, it does talk to me
--and 1 keep it where it is the first
thing I see in the morning and the
last thing l see at night"

British Miners Lose

The British coal miners have lost
their strike. They kept it up for
five months, eXhausting their re-
serve funds and all the money they
could beg or borrow, living from
hand to mouth, making such sacri-
fees as are almost unbelievable. but
famine, sickness and the approach
Of winter have broken their spirit.
They had just cause to begin with
and at one time they might have OBJ
tanned a very favorable settlement,
but their leaders were too stubborn
and cocksure.
Now they will return to work I'M
der conditions named by the owners,
with their defeat as trade unionists
overshadowed by the fact that the
British coal industry has been set
back a generation.
Once more British manufacturers
can prosper on cheap coal, not be-
cause the Introduction of modern
methods, machinery and equipment
has made it possible. but because a
million men are compelled to labor
for starvation pay.
