Our League is growing and doing
well so far. Some of the papers of
this locality struck at our first meet
ing, but we silenced them at first
volley. Very truly yours,

LIKES THE “ TALKS TO YOUNG
MEN.”
Dear Mr. Watson: I am reading
your literature with much interest,
but especially do I like your “Talks
to young men.” It seems as if you
are as much at home in one depart
ment of literature as another; get
ting to be a “poet.” The wonder is
that one small head can hold so
much. To Mr. Wells, you advise
aginst burning the midnight oil.
Now how in the world am I to get
up my trigonometry without violat
ing this advice? In your “Sketches
from Roman History” you refer to
the Gracchii as jewels of history.
This suggested to me a subject for
my oration at our school closing.
I would appreciate it if you would
give me a few suggestions, not an
essay but a list of characters both
ancient and modern, which in your
judgm-nt deserve mention. Again
thanking you, I am yours truly.
Timpson, Tex. B. T. CHILDS.
A YOUNG LADY STOCKHOLDER.
My Dear Mr. Watson: Daddy Jim
says that stock in The Jeffs is as
good as the bank, and I am sending
you SSO for some; besides, I want to
help you write that History of the
South. Your friend.
