A letter, evidently written to thank a friend for aid and at the same time display the ability in writing English of a Russian who has resided In the United States Just nine months was received recently by Sam Temln, a tailor at 1832 St. Mary avenue. The letter was written by Martin ZelT, a friend of Russian days whom Temln had befriended. Zeff assured Temln that the letter was written from a spirit of friendliness and was not a request' for more aid. He gal lantly spoke of America as "God's country" and expressed his sincere thankfulness for the prlviledge of liv ing here. Filled with phoentlc spelling and oc casionally aided by relapses into the Russian language Zetf wrote: "Forest City, Pa., August 17, at 11 P.

Now I don’t need no help of no one but only my God and my 10 fingers so you may answer soon with a long letter. How Is busi ness with you and where is your family of Russia? So I’ll close with kind regards to all and hope a soon reply I am a Green Horen, Martin Zeff. “P. S. Don’t I write good for • months In America? I can speak much better.” To an average reader most of the Russian words and many of the mis spelled English words In the letter are unintelligible. By "menecht” Zeff meant managed. “Visa” Is the last official act In having a passport passed by the country’s officials. A "dolmecher” Is an Interpreter. Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W.

When the young Chuck, who had gc le out to see the Great World, found safety from Bowser the Hound In the old stone wall, Bowser wasted very little time. Bowser had chased too many people Into that old stone wall to waate time trying to get at them or waiting for them to come out again. So he barked a few dreadful threats of what he would do to that young Chuck some day, and then went off. The young Chuck remained right where he was for the longest time. He was so frightened that he didn't dare poke his nose out. And how he did wish that he was back home' He almost made up his mind th«_ he would go straight home as soon as It seemed safe to start. But wjien he thought of the distance and the dan gers his courage failed him. He probably would have remained right where he was the rest of that day had not a pair of bright eyes peeped in at that hole and discovered him. "Hello, stranger,” said a small voice. "What are you doing in here? It must be that it was you that Bowser the Hound was making all that fuss about. He isn't anywhere “Da Yon Think That I Could Uve Here for Awhile?" Inquired the Young Chuck. around now. so you don’t have to stay around unless you want to.” The young Chuck knew that this was a very small person talking, so he wasn't afraid. “Who ars you?" he asked In his turn, as he poked his head out and discovered a small, very- neat person with a pretty striped coat, and the brightest of bright eyes. "I'm Striped Chipmunk. Goodness, you must be very young and inno cent not to know who I am." was the prompt reply. “I live here In the old stone wall, and a very good place it is to Uve.” “Do you think that I could live here for awhile?" Inquired the young Chuck. “There is no reason why you can't that I know of." replied Striped Chip munk “If you live here long enough you will learn a great deal of the ways of the Great World. It's the safest place I know of Tou have run away from home, haven’t you?" Striped Chipmunk's eyes twinkled as he asked this. The young Chuck nodded. "Yes." said he rather sheepishly. “I wanted to see the Great World. Does—does that dreadful fellow that chased me In here come over here often?" Striped Chipmunk nodded. "Quite often," said h*. “But don't let that worry you. As long as you do not get too far away from the old stone wall that fellow will he perfectly harmless. I'm a great deal smaller than you. and I'm not In the least afraid of Bowser the Hound " This comforted the young Chuck.

He peeped out through the buahea, and juat beyond he aaw the Green Mead ows. He climbed up on the old atone wall, and the other aide looked Into the Old Orchard. It teemed to him that he never had seen such a beautiful place. “I think I’ll stay." said he, ’’if I can find a good hiding place." "There are plenty of them,” aaid Striped Chipmunk.
