another is not fortune —it is misfor
tune, in nine cases out of ten. The
crops we grow ourselves are the best
of any this old world ever will give
us.
Shoes that some one else has worn
never fit the man who has stood look
ing at them for years and wishing
he could try them on. They pinch in
one place and make bunions in an
other.
Put yourself into this world, young
men. The world wants you. It will
give you the best it has, if you only
show you are worthy of it.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU.
Dear Little Mother and Everybody:
I can’t say cousins for you know I
have never visited you. But if little
mother will let me in I will be glad.
We have been having some nice wea
ther, but it has been raining today.
Papa takes The Golden Age and many
other papers, but I like it best. How
many of the cousins are flower lovers?
I am, but can’t have many—the chick
ens pull them up so badly.. Little
Mother, I wish all of you could come
and stay with me. We are going to
have a picnic Friday, June 24th, and
we will have a fine time. I have been
reading “Earnest Willie,” or “Echoes
From a Recluse.” I like to read it very
much. When I have nothing to do I
read the good letters that were
written The Sunny South. Brother
Willie, why don’t you write for The
Voices of Youth? I know you must
have suffered while you were an in
valid. I would like so much to have
yours and Sister Margaret’s picture.
Little Mother, if you will print this
poor letter I will love you very much
for it. I like to read all the letters.
Wish more of the old cousins would
write. I will close. Wishing you all
much happiness.
Your friend,
KATE BLACK.
THANKS; IT MUST BE FINE.
Dear Little Mother and Circle:
I wonder if you are sweltering as
much as we are? If so, come and
go with me down a long hill to a
big cool spring that bubbles out from
under a large rock beneath a huge
oak at the foot of the hill. It is just
a little way from the house and from
the “big” road, but my! how cool
and lonesome looking it is down
there! Just the place to dream, and
build air castles in. And then when
there’s nobody looking that babbling
purling spring branch, almost a brook
is fine to wade in clear up to a bath
ing pool dug out and dammed up by
us school children. It was such fine
fun to put the smaller girls as watch
ers while we, with our shoes off,
played we were wee tots again. And
now since school is out, the place
deserted, it is finer still.
I wonder sometimes how you, Little
Mother, and the thousands of others
housed up in those great office build
ings, live these hot sultry days. And
I wonder again why so many leave
God’s great open fields, cool forests
and music making streams mingled
with the songs of the mocking bird
and his myriad “kinnery” to bury them
selves in those stuffy buildings with
nothing to feed the eye on but row
after row of brick or stone walls; no
soft earth to give as your feet touch
it; nothing but stone, brick, mortar
and stone again—it is little wonder
the the people grow hard and cynical.
We will partake of our surroundings.
But I suspect I have chatted long
enough. Pearl Echols, Persistance
and Bartlett Kelley, are you just nat
urally dead?
Well, let us hear from you.
Your same,
NAUGHTY GIRL.
LIFTING UP THE FALLEN.
A few nights ago Miss Jane Addams,
perhaps the foremost among these
workers in the United States, if not
in the world, told the delegates to the
National Conference of Charities and
Corrections, now in session in St.
Louis, something of the work that
is being undertaken, and something of
the successes achieved. Miss Addams
divides the great body of charity work
ers into two classes, those who work
for the love of the poor and those
who labor out of hatred for injustice.
She says the great advancement made
is shown in the fact that the aim,
which was at first to cure and then
to prevent, is now not so much to
cure or to prevent as it is to raise
life to its highest value. And all
this, she says, has resulted in an ef
fective demand for more just social
conditions.
Miss Addams finds that broader de
mand is being made effective in the
better’ care of inebriates and in the
more humane attitude of society to
ward. lawbreakers. She says effective
and well-defined work is being done for
discharged prisoners to rehabilitate
them in free society. Much of this
is being accomplished through a new
committee of the national conference,
the committee on “occupational stan
dards.” This committee has to do,
she says, “with that function of the
state by which it seeks to protect its
workers from their own weakness and
degradation, and insists that the live
lihood of the manual laborer shall not
be beaten down below the level of
efficient citizenship.”
Right there, it would seem, this
courageous woman has sounded the
keynote. Many a chapter of misery,
woe and final defeat has been written
because its opening chapter was in
spired by man’s lost faith and confi
dence in himself. And he has not
suffered alone. Those naturally de
pendent upon him have too often
found themselves forced by circum
stances to follow him on his down
ward path. Now, it seems, the effort
is to rehabilitate the fellow. This is
what Miss Addams calls “raising life
to its highest value.” It teaches that
one wrong step is not necessarily
fatal —something the world seems to
have forgotten.
