The following Is an extract from a
bona-flde letter which a woman from
New . Haven, Conn., wrote to Clyde
Fitch, the other day: "I have been
reading of the vast amount of money
you have been making this year by
writing plays. I do not approve of the
theatre myself, but I would like to ask
a small favor of you. I am a lady
who has seen better days, but with
God's help and your assistance I think
the sun of prosperity may shine on me
again. I am a widow with three
daughters. The eldest died two years
ago and ever since I have been most
anxious to have her grave sodded.
Won't you please sod her grave for
me, my dear Mr. Fitch? My second
daughter could make a very good mar
riage If you would only send her $200
with which to buy her trousseau. My
third daughter has a beautiful voice.
The doctor says It cannot be properly
trained for less than $150. Iu short,
dear Mr. Fitch, send me a check for
$500, and Just see what an amount of
good you will be doing in the world.
My daughter's grave will be sodded,
my second girl will be made a loving
wife, and my baby will have a voice to
earu money for her mother with; and
I shall have enough of your money left
to hire a second-hand piano. Be sure
and send the money by registered let
ter, as I think the ordinary mall Is so
unreliable."
Paderewskl C right.
One evening last season, at a famoui
restaurant in New York, Paderewskl
happened to be dining there at the same
time that the New York Goldsmiths'
and Jewelers Association were having
a celebration, dinner In another part of
the building. . At the close of the feast
the pianist made his way to the cloak
room and was busy washing his hands
when one of the other party came In on
the same mission. The newcomer stared
at the fair-haired Pole, and at last, as
he dashed his hands through the water,
said: "You're very like Paderewskl;
do you know him?" "I am Paderew
skl," rejoined the maestro, modestly.
"What!" whooped the American, and,
dashing at him, shook both his hands
without waiting for the ceremony of
wiping bis own. Before there was any
time for Paderewskl to escape the man
from the goldsmiths' dinner rushed to
the door, and, calling to the chiefs of
bis party, yelled: "I say, Brown, Jones,
Robinson, Smith, all of you, come here;
I want to introduce you to my friend,
Paderewskl." ,

NOTEWORTHY ANNIVERSARY IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE YOUTH'S COMPANION.
With its issue of April 18th The
Youth '8 Companion entered upon its
75th year.
To commemorate this anniversary,
the publishers prepared aridity print
ed souvenir illustrating the growth of
the nation and of The Youth's Com
panion since the year The; Companion
was founded, 1827. Perhaps the most
significant features of the souvenir
are its three maps. The first show
the small section of the continent oc
cupied by the United States of 1827,
when The Companion began life with
practically no subscribers. Another
shows the system of railways which
cover the United States in 1901, an
I aggregate of 187,781 miles, The
I Youth's Companion traversing every
mile of this system once a week. The
' third map shows the number of sub-
scribers to The Youth's Companion
j in every state of the union in 1901,
the patier being delivered every week
! to 545.342 American homes.

THE SALESWOMAN
WHY .T IS SOMETIMES HARD FOR
HER TO BE. PLEASANT.
A CUrk In a Minneapolis Dry Goods Store
Tells Mow She Became Able to Per
forin Her Duties Easily.
From the Miitneapoli$ Journal.
Have you ever stopped to think that
the position of a saleswoman in a
large dry good store is a particularly
trying one? Working long hours, lie-
ing conilelled to stand most of the
tune, and being expected to look
pleasant regardless of suffering which
she may I enduring, is it any wonder
that weak, nervous women find it im
possible to follow this occupation?
Everyone will be interested in the ex
perience of Miss Nellie M. Tomlinson
of 3118 Minnehaha avenue, Minne
aMli, Minn., who is a clerk in one
of the large dry goods stores of that
city. She says:
"When I was eight years of age I
had the scarlet fever and it left me
with weak kidneys and a complication
of diseases. I was nervous and finally
Ix'oitme so bad that I left school and
did not go for an entire term. I had
headacVe all the time and was too ir
ritable to talk with any one. The
least excitemnt seemed to make my
heart flutter and a fainting spell
would follow. At times I became so
dizzy that I would have to sit down
until the feeling passed away. My
blood seemed to have turned to water
and I had no color whatever in my
face. I was a mere skeleton and had
to lie down several times during the
day. I had one of the best physicians
in the city but he did not help me.
"My parents read about Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People in
one of our city papers and thought it
would be wise for me to give them a
trial. I began to get better when I
had taken the first box and by the
time I had used two and a half boxes
I was cured. I can perform with case
my duties as clerk in a dry goods
store. I was never so well as I am
today and it is all due to Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People."
