Letters From Home-Made Father to Son
By ED STREETER.
Holidays Double-Cross the Con
. science.
Deer Sun,
I'd wrote? you sooner only I had
to work overtime air week on ac
count of Laber Day. Holidays
come round so fast it keeps a man
busy tryin' to get in a little work
on the side. Twouldn't pay not to
obsurve 'em tho. Funny thing how
a man what shuts up his shop at
three an. goes fishin' is a wuthless
good fer nothin' an a menase to the
community, but 'a man what works
on a holly day is a skinint.
Yure con&hunce is a turibel thing
unless you know its weak points.
Lake Squire Freeman, whose con
sliune threw him out o bed at hve
in the morntn' when he didn't want
to get up til ten. He couldn't get
no plcsure out o life til he got onto
the idear o) havin' the doct. call him
sick every munth or so. That gives
him a chance to stay in bed three
or fore days runnin' an his conshune
has never- cought on tho he's been
at it fer she years. Peepel is just
beginnin' to realize this vot;ks the
same way with hollydays. . .'
When I was yung we thought we
was lucky to get all Sun. off. ' My
father, what was yure grandfather,
always spent Sat. jiight readin' the
ten comrrj&rtdmun& tryin' to find
some kind o' work we could do with
out breakht' no rules. Now they
sppnd there time readin' history to
find somethin' that happened on a
week day that'lhey ought to nock
off work on account of.
The motto round here is ''Never
let a holtyday interfere with yure
hollyday." If one conies on a Sun.
they take Won. to celubrate and
'Tue. to get over it. Ivydal is ch
bratin' Laber day on Tne. this year
1 cause it always conies on Mon. which
makes that a hollyday anyways.
Everybody in these parts is daft
over those little Squeegee boards
that you push around wjfh yure fin-
jgers. 1 hey re all tryin to get m
touch with there dead relutives. It
seems to me asoon's we get every

, we- got to begin all-over agein.
There's always a bunch o philan
terfsts hangin round, waitin iek
some stranger that they can help if
they have to nock him down to do
it. . An its always witn our money.
The only place we ever got In touch
with that didn't cost tne nothin was
the North Pole. - - ' -

somethin new to work on. An sure

folks I know. Lifts hard enuff now
but there wouldnt be anythin to look
forward to if you" knegtyou couldnt
ever get rid o yure relatives and the
peepel you owed money an such.
Twouldnt do no good to have em die
an twouldnt do no good to comit
srfercide. Bout the only thing you
could hope for would be to go daft.
Most o these peepal thats spendin
so much o there time an muney tryin
to chin with there diseased relutives
would have gone round the block to
avoid meetin eni when they was on
earthV Like Sarah Fotheringill
f rinstance. She . an her sister
hadn't spoke fer live years. Now
her isters dead tho, Sarah spends
all her time tryin to talk to her.
When they do talk trie, spooks
never say nothin atiyways. Folks
seem to lose what little' sense they
had wHrn thev nass ouK Insted o
tellin us tilings we want to'known
like what Jou get to eat up there, an
if we better wear our hfcvy woolens
or not, an if it ud help us to take a
few lessuns on the harpwhen we
felt ourselves failin, they say fool
things like" "Uncle Enoses white silk
mufeler is in.the.linjn closet." An
we keep righ on payin fer jnesages
like that an go back fer more. -
I sometimes think its kind of a
hevinly joke like Pooch Frisbee who
never went away without sendin fool
telygrams to everybody an reservin
the charges. '
,What scares me is that when we
find out about tfcis here, hevin bisnis
we ntight not likcit. 'Then you'd
be up agenst it like Jasper-Whitney
what got up in meetin one day all
dressed in his store close "an says
he knowd there'wasnt no hevin an
he was sure there wasnt no hell. So
sayia he dropped dead. An there he
was,' as Pooch says, all dressed up
and no place to go.
It dont pay lo munkey with the
spiruts as the lold .fellow remarked
as he went blind from drinkin wood
alkohaul. If vou want an exampul
look at Lizzie arr ovee in" Acropo
lis. Six munths ago she was leadin
& good christun life, takin care o four
lif tie uns, doin all the washin, mend
in an cookin ah helpin'" out around
the farm in her spare time as a wom
an should. ,
The Spirits Humored Lizzie.
One day she was writin to her sif
ter as live3 in Denmark or some
such place outside o New-York. Liz
zie aint much with penmunship an
got a cramp in her thum. The fust
thing she knowed shebegun to write
queer. Not that she ever wrote any
other" way but this was diferunt.
She'd been, readin all about spooks
in the Sun. paper an she knew right
away it was them doin the writin.
Is those the spirntsr she says,
an writes down, "Yes."
Inside ot a week lizzie was tne
best known person in Acropolis.
Folks used to come to her an get
her to answer questchungs as to
where theyd mislaid there teeth and
the like. It was the fust time any
bodyd noticed her an she like it so
she got behevin in it herself.
Yon never saw a person change
like her. She kep a little pad hanay
with her all the time an in the morn
in shed say: .
Will I get up an cok brektast.'"
Then the spiruts ud write down
"No." It used to scare old man Carr
so he'd get up an cook it hisself.
Some days the spiruts wouldn't let
her get up at all an Hak ud have
to wait on her. 'An Snce they made
him take her to Milford an buy her'
a new hat an other jim cracks.
Tries one day a strange fellow
comes- to town, tie was a gosn
wholloppin sport an' air dressed up
complete from a gold tooth to slip
covers wi the tops of his, shoes. He
makes love to Liz an she says to
the spirits: -
"Will I run away with him:
"An' vthey tys, -"Yes."
. Ask the Spirits.
"Ask the spiruts," say he, fif
we hadn't better take some o' the
silver to get started jn life with:"
An' they agrees once more.
"An'-wouldn't it be a good thihg
to borry old man Carr's auto for to
get out o town with?" he asks. An
the spirits allowed as how it might.
Hank -never heard o' her agen,
which was lucky fer her.
Spcakin' o' spiruts, I got off a
good one on Mobe Carstairs the
other day. He came wanderin into
the barn while I was milkiiv' the
new cow an' stood there chawin
straws with that there know it all
way he has.
Bimeby, he says. "New cow give
much milk, Ame?" '
An' without takin' my eye out o'
the pale, I says, "Not a 'drop Mobe.
You got to take it all from her."
I like to split laffm' when. I told
the boys later. I made Mobe feel so
cheep to see how he'd been done he
just walks away without crackin a
smif. . '
Yure muther wants to be remem
bered. Yesterday she fell down the
seller stares accumpanid by two
pales o milk. The tnilk was spilt,
yurcs and etc.

New Film Star
Does Not Dance
Or Wear Curls
A distinctly new type of ingenue
has1 come to the screen with the
advent of Elinor Field, who has the
leading feminine role m a forthcom
ing production, "The Kentucky Col
onel." li the first place, Miss Field
does not "wear curls. For which the
gods be , praised. Ever since the
immortal Mary introduced curls ' to
the screen. every ingenue, has evi
dently had the iea that without
curls of one sort or another, success
could not be,, hers. 'In the second
place, Miss Field does nqtdance in
and out of scenes like a prancing
puppet on a string. She. does not
belong to the school which seems to
feel that unless they continually hop
up and dowiv they cannot possibly
hope to convince the audience that
they are very young things, and that
with their youthful spirits and never
ending enthusiasm about anything
and everything, they art contintfally
having the time of their live In a
word, Elinor Field combine intelli
gence with charm, good looks and '
sympathetic interpretations of the
role she is called upon to play. Those ,
who have been privileged to view a
advance showing of "The Kentucky"'
Colonel" declare that Miss, Field is '
the very embodiment of refreshing
youth, without using any of the
above mentioned ingenue tricks.
More power to Miss. Fieldl
