Dear Children:
Here is the second installment of
the history of the American Indian
Its written by Mabel Mason Carlton
for the John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance company:
•‘The history of America does not
begin with the landing of Columbus
6r with the coming of the Noresmcn.
There are chapters and chapters in
the early history of America which
are little known and little thought
Os, but which have a large share in
the making of this nation. The In
dians were living in America thous
ands of years before the coming of
Columbus; from the most primitive
Stages of civilization, they have un
dergone a gradual process of evolu
tion and development. Although still
uncivilized and barbaric they were
i able to contribute certain elements
t>f culture which have formed a part
" In the development of American life.
To understand and appreciate these
I Contributions, we must study the life
and customs of the Indians, the First
, Americans.
• v “The Indian has not always lived
*fn America. Fifteen thousand years
’ ago our country lay under a glacier.
Slowly throughout thousands of years
the ice receded, the earth warmed,
vegetation grew. About ten thousand
fears ago, man for the first time en
tered the New World. He came from
Asia, across Behring Straight; and
is others of his people came after
him, he roamed and wandered to the
louth into what is now Canada, then
in to the United States, and finding
!he country to the south warmer
ind more abundant in vegetation and
game, he settled and multiplied until,
tvithin the course of hundreds of
Tears, he had practically covered the
iwo American continents.”
Next week we will take up the
« origin of the Indion.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

hardly be imagined.
These cases are not only useful

ready for wear next time you need
them.
My cases are made of pretty cre

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
The Single Standard of Morals In
Matrimony—Houseworker or Fac
tory Girl. Which Makes the Best
Wife? How to Re-Win a Di
vorced Wife
Dear Dorothy Dix —I am in trouble
and need your help. I am in love
with a very fine little girl and she
is devoted to me. We wish to be
married, but there is an obstacle. Be
ing very truthful and honest, she
has told me that she. had a sad ex
perience in her early youth, before
she knew me.
Should I for
give her ’and
marry her?
Should I over
look the fact
that there is a
smudge on her
skirts? Or, if I
marry her, will I
always be think
ing of it, and
suspecting her?
1 love this girl
with all my
heart, and I de
sire to be fair
and honest with
her. but I do not
mJ **
ffi
know what to
do about marrying her.
Os course, I have been no angel
myself. But men are curious in the
standards they hold for themselves
and women. W. R. W.
Answer:
Right you are. W. R. W. The
most sublime exhibition of human
nerve in the world is the fact that
the darker a man’s past is, the more
spotless record does he demand of
the woman he marries.
Certainly the man who admits
that he has been no angel may be
very sure that any woman is quite
as good as he is, and let go at that,
with both wiping off the slate, and
starting a fresh score with life.
It is actually less difficult to tell
whether the woman who has once
strayed from the straight and nar
row path and then fought her way
back to it will be a true and faith
ful wife than it is to tell whether an
untempted young girl will. For the
one has had her lesson, and the oth
er has not. The one knows from
bitter experience that the primrose
way is the way of the cross in
reality. Her soul has been seared by
shame. Her eyes wep; dry of the
scorching tears of repentance. She
knows the sordidness of the illicit
relationship, while to the ignorant
girl there is always something glam
orous in love under the rose.
Not every woman who sins is a
sinner at heart. Many a girl who
stumbles into the wrongdoing that
wrecks her life does it through the
noblest instincts of her nature. It
is because she has it in her to love
greatly; because she is too generous
to bargain; because she is too tender
to say “no” to and deny one dear to
her; because she is too trusting that
she is the victim of the villains who
betray her. Such a woman is not
immoral. When she finds what she
has unwittingly done, she repents in
sackcloth and ashes. She pulls her
self out of the pit her enemies have
dug for her. and walks warily the
balance of her life. And she makes
the most loyal wife in the world for
the man who is big enough to under
stand her and trust her.
It is easy to distinguish between
that kind of woman and the woman
who is a born wanton. Any man can
do it. But note this well, W. R. W.
Don’t marry any woman with a past
unless you have a soul great enough
to forget it, and never refer by word
or deed to it. The cruelest man on
earth is the miserable little creature
who marries a wo.aan, and then uses
his knowledge of her past life to tor
ture her with.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Dorothy Dix—l am twenty
five years old and mighty easy on
the eyes, and think I have got com
mon sense. I make my living by be
ing companion to a. very nice lady.
A young’ man has been paying a lot
of attention to me. but he .objects
to my occupation. He says his
family would not like him to' marry
a girl who was a maid. Don’t you
think he is a snob?
ANNIE.
Answer:
I certainly do. It’s men like he
who send thousands of girls to work
in factories, where they have to
work too hard for them for less
money than they could get by going
into domestic service. It’s little
snobby-souled pien, such as he is,
would rather marry a half-starved,
a blonde and my age is fifteen. lam going
to a*k a favor. Will some one send me the
following songs? •'Oh. Do They Ever Pray
for Me at Home." "Bury Me Not on the
Lone Prairie,” "When I Am Gone Yon
Will Soon Forget.” I will return the favor
in any way I can. All you cousins write
Io me and send photos if you can. Lots of
love to Aunt Julia and all of the cousins.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will you please
let a lonesome girl join your merry band of
boys and girls? I will tell a little altout
where I live. I live on a farm of fifty
acres of fine farming land, 7W miles from
Ocala, miles from Shady Grove, a coun
try store and school house; 1 miles from
a Baptist church, to which I go often. I
will tell how I look and then go: I am five
feet tall, weigh ninety pounds, have brown
hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. All the
cousins who want the songs. “Let the Rest
of the World Go By” and “When I’m Gone
You’ll Soon Forget,” if you will write to
me and send a two-cent stamp I will send
them for nothing. If anyone has the songs.
“The Titanic” and “Jack and Joe,” and will
send them to me, 1 will return the favor
any way 1 can. Asking everybody, old and
young, girls and boys, to write to me, with
best wishes to Aunt Julia and cousins, 1 re
main, a new cousin.

Oh, hello! Dear auntie, please admit us
into your happy band, so we may become
acquainted with all the cousins. We are
pals, sixteen and seventeen years old, names
Pauline and Lola. Panline, the elder, has
dark brown hair and blue eyes. Lola has
light hair and blue eyes. Pauline is a
farmer's daughter and is very lonely, as she
has no brothers at home. Lola has no
parents, but is blessed with a dear brother
just eighteen. We have loads of fun going
kodaking. We have been wondering if the
cousins still their pictures. We have
some very good ones together, but won't
send any, as it might be against Aunt
Julia's rule. As this is our first letter, we
won’t detain you any longer. All you boys
and girls who care to write to two lonely
pals just try writing to us a line or two.
Will answer all letters or card*.

Hello, Aunt Julia and cousins! How's
everybody? I’m just fine. I am a north
Georgia boy and would love to get acquainted
with some of the cousins. I will not tell
you all about my home and where I live
this time, but hope auntie will print this
and I will come again some time and try
to write a good letter.
I went to Dahlonega High school last year
and was promoted to the sixth grade for th.s
term. Aunt Julia, please print this short
little note, as it is my first time to write
and I want to surprise mamma. If auntie
will print this I will send my photo for the
album some day. A new cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
a Mississippi girl knocking for admittance
into your happy band of boys and girls. I
think it is just grand and sweet of Aunt
Julia to give a page where boys and girls
from all over the states can have a chance
to get acquainted with each other. I am
going to school and like my studies and
teachers just fine. I am very fond of read
ing. There are a lot of good authors, and
it is hard to say which 1 like best. My
lather takes The Journal, and 1 am always
glad when it comes. I live on a farm, and
like farm life fine. 1 fhink it is much
nicer to be where you can breathe good,
pure, fresh country air than to be crowded
anemic girl out of a sweatshop,
i where she has worked under the
most unwholesome conditions for
her, morally and physically, or a
nervous, overwrought shop girl, than
a strong, healthy, well-nourished girl
who has lived in a refined home and
been brought into daily contact with
gentle people.
Yet which girl is better fitted to
make a good wife—the girl who is
an expert houseworker, or the girl
w\lio has run a power sewing ma
chine, or a printing press, or done
nothing since she got her working
papers but sell bargains in a base
ment? Which girl is going to stand
the strain of wifehood and mother
hood best—the girl who has been a
maid in a family, who has bad the
best food the market afforded; who
has had her own bath and a good
room, or the -/irl who has herded in
a tenement with other factory work
ers?
All work is honorable, Annie. It’s
whether you do it badly or well that
makes its place in the estimation
of the world, and it is because do
mestic service has been habitually
the worst done work in the world
that so many people scorn it.
It rests with people like you to
raise it to the dignity of a learned,
profession. Why, it hasn’t been long
since writers were looked down upon
with contempt, and doctors were re
garded as entirely outside the pale of
good society, while to become an
actor was to become an outcast!
And believe me, Annie, the day is
coming when sensible men will look
for their wives in kitchens instead of
factories and shops, and when a hus
band’s proudest boast will be that
he married Mrs. MillionbuckLs high
priced cook.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss Dix—About two years
ago I married a girl with whom I
lived very happily until last fall.
Then we had a disagreement and I
went to Florida for the winter and
told her she could go back to her
parents’ home. When I got back I
found she had gotten a divorce from
me. She is spoiled and selfish, her
father and mother having indulged
her in everything she wanted, but I
think she still loves me, and God
knows I love her. So far she won’t
consent to a reconciliation, as she is
of a stubborn dispostion. Can you
tell me how to win her back?
K. G.
Answer:
It is the tragedy of love that it
is so easy to lose and so difficult to
regain. Surely if young people real
ized that they would be more care
ful of the precious jewel that *fate
has intrusted to them. Older and
more worldly wise people always
view lovers’ quarrels, and the little
foolish squabbles of young married
couples, with shuddering horror, for
they know that no disagreement is
ever quite made up. The heart stab
given by the hand we love never
wholly heals. There is always a
sore that bleeds, always a rankling
scar.
You will find it harder, K. G., to
win back your wife than you found
it to win her in the first place. You
see, she knows you now and is wise
to all of your little tricks and man
ners. and can make a good guess at
what life with you will be. Evident
ly she didn’t find it endurable in
the past, so you will have to con
vince her that you will make things
pleasanter in the future.
If the fault of the disagreement
was yours, be man enough to admit
it to her, and ask her pardon for it,
and promise to do different. If the
fault was hers, tell her that no mat
ter how thick her sins are upon her
head you would rather have her than
any pin-feathered angel woman.
Finally (I whisper this, for it is
treachery to my sex) make yourself
picturesquely miserable before her.
Convince her that you cannot live
without her. Show her your broken
heart. Write her letters sodden with
tears and remorse. There’s some
thing maternal in every woman tnat
will not endure seeing the man she
has once loved suffering like a hurt
child. We are just bound to com
fort him and let him weep out his
troubles on our breasts. And that’s
where bad husbands get the upper
hand of us.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Hello! What
are you cousins doing these hot days? Hav
| ing a good time, I guess. 1, like most of
; you cousins, live on a farm. I like country
; life best, because you can see more of
! Mother Nature. What sounds any better
■ than to hear the birds singing early in the
i morning, and hearing the squirrels chattel
ring as they jump from tree to tree? Who
is it that would exchange country life for
I city life? I would not. Cousins, (here is
one mere thing I want to speak about, that
is kindness. Kindness is the greatest thing
on earth. Be kind to all things. Speak
kindly to everybody, and you will be thought
well of by your country. 1 want to ask you
cousins to send me the song, "Meet Me Out
in the Moonlight Alone.” If any of you
| cousins have the song, please send it to me.
. I will return the favor in any way I can.
j I have written once before, but it was not
printed. Please print this one for me, Aunt

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS
Let’s All Try the Golden Rule
The older poultry raisers can well
remember when it was a common
thing for the whole country to be
swept every year with cholera, sore
head, and minor ailments, “just sick
chickens” would be the diagnosis.
But every one of us, whether we
raise fine poultry, or “just chickens,”
are indebted to the so-called “Fan
ciers” for the almost perfect control
of the diseases common to poultry.
The American Poultry association
celebrated its fiftieth anniversary
not long ago. Fifty years ago there
were not many that thought much
about specializing, but it was done
and we should rise up and thank
those pioneers for sticking to their
convictions, in the face of sarcasm,
and sneers.
I remember the first really fine
cockerel that came to my mother’s
flock. A friend of hers paid three
dollars for thirteen eggs, that was
the number in those days, and she
only raised two cockerels, and sold
one of them to my mother. It was a
light Brahama, and such a fine speci
men that it made some hens of the
same breed a necessity. And from
that time to the present we have
had nice breeds. I don’t rememoer
much sickness among the home flock
for clealiness was a part of her daily
program, in the chicken yard as in
the house.
This nice weather is the time for
all of us to .get things in shape, I
am not pushing my flock for eggs, I
want them to lay good fertile eggs
later, and you can’t expect a hen
to lay quantities of eggs all the year
and get results in the way of thrifty
chicks and every egg fertile. The
mar or woman who wants nothing
but eggs can feed for that, but don’t
expect the hen that has laid contin
uously a whole year to give you uni
formly large and fertile eggs.
I know the ins and outs of the
flocks bred in back yards, as well
as those raised on the farm, and I
assure you that my penned flocks
pay better than those that have the
entire farm to range on. The range
is good for the young if you can keep
the hawks and thieves from getting
them. But when you get ready to
save eggs for setting, and now is the
time to get ready, it will pay you to
pen at least seven hens and a cock
erel, also about January to pen as
many of your pullets that are begin
ning to lay now. Put the old bird
with them. It is folly to try to raise
chickens from pullets, they are weak
and liable to contract all sorts *of
diseases.
Have any of you noticed the appli-
and like tq read good books. Now, dear
cousins, twins and all, let me please hear
from you. as I will try to answer all your
letters and cards. Auntie, don’t you think
I had better quit writing or it will burn
your eyes to read this long letter? Come
on, boys and girls; don’t be bashful, aud
send your letters to

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: It has been
a long time since I made you a visit. -Some
of you may remember me, but the most of
you will not. Os course all of you cousins

ambition in earlier days to get a college
education, and now I am soon to reach the
apex of that ambition. Enough of that!
Now, girls, I want some water lily seeds,
and to be sure that 1 get them I am going
to make you an offer. I have been work
ing for a number of years on a double pink
morning-glory. This year they came to per
fection. The flowers are perfectly double
and as pink as a baby’s skin. I have a
limited quantity of these seed and will
give them out in lots of twenty-five seeds
each until all are gone. Just to show that
my heart is in the right place, I will send
a few seed to any and all that write for
them under these conditions. You must
write within ten days after seeing this
letter, and, if necessary, the writer must
wait for new seed to ripen. The seed that
I have on hand now will first go to those
sending me water lily seed; then, if there
are any to spare of this lot, they will be
sent to others. All those who write for
(hem will get seed, although some may
have t-' w »it until later in the season. I
limit the time to ten days because I ex
pect. to be very busy after that time. Now.
girls, who gets the seeds? I have a very
lovely double blue morning-glory that I orig
inated last year. These are not coming true
yet and will not be given out this fall: be
sides the supply of seed is very limited.
If any one remembers this letter at this
time next year and writes to me. I will
send them some of the seed of these blue
ones. Your old cousin and friend,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a Georgia boy into your happy circle?
I have been a silent reader of the Atlanta
Journal for two years, but this is my first
attempt to write. I go to school and like
it fine. I study the tenth grade. I live
on the farm and I like farm life fine. I
will not describe myself this time. My age
is between thirteen and seventeen Who
has my birhtday, June 23? Will stop now,
expecting to hear from all you cousins.

Harris, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia: Here conies a girl from
the dear old state of North Carolina to join
your happy band of boys and girls. I have
written letters to the Letter Box twice be
fore and Aunt Julia was kind enough to
have one of them printed for me. 1 don’t
gness any of the cousins remember me. I
have been a reader of Aunt Julia’s Letter
Box for a long time and like to read the
letters from the different states. Come on
North Carolina boys and girls and don’t let
the other states get ahead of us. If I were
capable of discussing any one subject it
would be “Friendship.” A true friend is
worth more to one than all the gold and
silver. Money can be taken from you, but a
good friend you will never lose. How pleas
ant it is to know that you have one to
whom you can go in your trouble, and find
comfort. Let every one of us try to he a
friend to some one, and always be ready to
help a weaker one a stronger race to run.
Miss Bessie Howell, of Georgia, your letter
on kindness was good. It made me think
of one of my favorite verses: A little kind
ness every day, while we're at work or at
play: a little smile, a little song; a word of
cheer when things go wrong; to help a
brother en his way. I am fifteen years of
nge. I am sending a poem to have printed
in the Letter Box. All you cousins write
to me.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please admit another Georgia girl into your
happy band of boys and girls? My father
takes The Journal and I enjoy reading the
cousins’ letters. I, like most of the cous
ins. live on a farm. What do you cousins
do for pastime? I read, tat and help moth
er. How many of you enjoy going to
school? I surely do, for one. I think
that every one should try to get an educa
tion. I am a great lover of flowers, al
though I haven’t many this year. To the
one that writes to me first I will send
thema cutting of my favorite flower, I
live in the lower part of Georgia and the
land is very level. Some of yon cousins
visit me and we will go down on,the beach
and have a jolly time. I will not describe
myself, only say that I’m a brunette, with
brown eyes, and am seventeen years of
age. Well, cousins, I will bid ' you all
adieu and run away. All of you cousins
write to me,, and I will trv to answer all.
With love, IRENA WHITE.
Ludowici, Ga., Route “A.”
Dear Auntie and Cousins: Please open
the door for another Georgia kid into your
happy circle. Wonder what you cousins are
doing these cool days. For myself, I am
picking a little cotton and having a pice
time. I crochet and read good stories. I
live in the country, but like city life best.
I truly hope father will go to the city this
fall, for there is so much pleasure in the
city for young folks. I will start to school
the first of October, and 1 surely will be
glad, for I enjoy going to school.' I think
every boy and girl should have an educa
tion. I have three brothers and one sister.
I am the oldest, so you see I have a lot to
do. My mother and father are both living,
and I am surely glad God has spared them
to us so far, for without them we would
get mighty lonesome. How many of you
cousins like music? I do. My greatest de
sire is to be an organist. I am not an old
maid yet, but soon will be. I will leave
my age for you to guess. It is between fif
teen and eighteen years. I am going to
ask a favor of the cousins: Will some one
send me the songs. "Meet Me in the Moon
light Alone.” "When I Am Gone You Will
Soon Forget Me.” “The "7.ips That Touch
Liquor Shall Never Touch Mine.” "Careless
Love.” "Maggie?” Will return the favor
in any way I can. I have enjoyed my visit

cation blank of the Rhode Island
Red Club of America? This part is
good for all dealers of anything, but
it is especially good for those who
ship to the buyer “sight unseen:” “i
pledge protection to the public
through truthful advertising, hon
est, upright business methods, hon
est production and. sale of hatching
eggs, chicks and stock. I agree, es
pecially to advertise only true and ac

avoid exaggerated and misleading
statements regarding egg production
in any of my advertising.”
Don’t tell me that the world is riot
trying to live on a higher plane. The
pure food laws, and dozens of other
things prove it. Some of these days,
not in my time probably, even the
fishermen will tell exactly which
fish they cought and which they
bought, and come nearer the size of
those they lost.
The other day a man sent for me
to see a flock of young chickens
he had, baby chicks two weeks old.
I went to see them for I never have
been able to resist seeing Rhode Is
land Reds, nor any other kind, but
these were for sale as the owner is
not on a lot large enough for chick
ens and a garden. They were from
eggs that came From a celebrated
place, and tempting, but I told him
that while they would be worth thir
ty cents each in the spring I would
not give half of that for them at this
time of year. To my mind it is a
mistake to set more than one or two
hens before December, they are sure
to get stunted unless they have a
warm dry place to live in, not mere
ly to roost in, and they must not be
crowded either.
I wish some of the turkey raisers
would write me how they succeeded.
The late spring and wet summer
made that branch of poultry raising
almost a failure through this sec
tion. I’ve an acre that has just
been fenced, its for my Reds, but I’d
like nothing better than to put
young turkeys in there next spring.
There is not much prospect of tur
key raising on an extensive scale
though, here unless it is proved that
they can be raised behind a wire
fence. Whole droves, a dozen or
more, go at once, and that is not
encouraging.
I have just received a book that
will help any poultry raiser to keep
up with their flocks, and will help
you to plan for next year.
Send a card to Rosenbaum Bros.,
Chicago, Hl., and ask them for a
copy of Scientific Poultry Feeding
and Breeding. This book is full of
good suggestions for every month.

hear from a jolly Georgia kid let your let

Will promise to try and not stay too long.
We have been taking The Atlanta Jour

found out the cousins Letter Box was the

we will have a real fish fry and have a
lot of good music, too. I’m a member of

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
A Faithful Mother
Love is fearless, taking heed
Only of the loved one’s need.
—Old Mother Nature.
All day the wounded young Bob
White crouched in a clump of weeds
on the Green Meadows. It was a
clear, bright day, but the weeds
shaded him from tire sun. All day
Mrs. Bob White remained with him.
Her mother heart ached for him. He
himself felt too- ill to think at all,
and so he did not worry. But his
mother knew wha,t the dangers
were, and she grew - more and more
anxious. She looked forward with
dread to the coming of the Black
Shadows and night. She knew that
during the day there was little to
fear down there on the Green
Meadows from Reddy Fox or Granny
Fox or Old Man Coyote. Hidden as
they were under the weeds she was
not afraid of being found by any of
the Hawk family. But with the com
ing of the Black Shadows all would
be changed. Then Reddy Fox and
Granny Fox and Old Man Coyote
and Jimmy Skunk might come
prowling around at any time. Then,
too, Hooty the Owl would be out
hunting.
“If only I. could get him over to
the dear Old Briar-patch,” Mrs. Bob
White kept thinking. Every once in
a while she would coax young Bob
White to try to walk. But he felt
too badly. He felt so badly that he
wouldn’t even eat. She stole away
from him two or three times to get
him some food, but he refused the
most tempting tid-bits. Once in the
afternoon she discovered Black
Pussy the Cat prowling about not
far away. She knew that if Black
Pussy should discover young Bob it
would be the end of him. » There
would be no escape. So Mrs. Bob

Once in the atternoon she discov

White at once flew over and drop
ped dowX in the grass just a little
way in front of Black Pussy. She
pretended not to have seen Black
Pussy at all. At once Black Pussy
began to creep slowly and softly
as only Black Pussy can straight
toward where she had seen Mrs.
Bob White drop down in the grass.
Mrs. Bob White began to flutter
along the ground as if she were bad
ly hurt and couldn’t fly. Black
Pussy became excited-. Yes, sir, she
became very much excited. She
didn’t stop to think that she had
seen Mrs. Bob White fly there in
the first place.
“That bird is hurt,” said Black
Pussy to herself. “She can’t fly. I
can catch her without any trouble.”
So Black Pussy no longer crept
softly foryyard.. She bounded for-

Black Pussy became more excited*
Time and again she sprang, expect

sharp claws dotVn on Mrs. Bob
White and each time she just

Mrs. Bob White was playing. It
wouldn’t have fooled Reddy Fox;
No, sir, it wouldn’t have fooled
Reddy Fox. But it did fool Black
Pussy.
Farther and farther away Mrs.
Bob White led that foolish cat. At
last she felt that it was safe to
leave her. She allowed Black Pussy,
to just miss her once more and then
she whirred away on her stout
wings, leaving Black Pussy staring
after her with such aji astonished
look on her face. Mrs. Bob White
flew in quite another direction from
where the young Bob White was in
case Black Pussy should try to fol
low her. Then when she felt it was
safe to do so she turned and hur
ried straight back to the poor,
wounded, young Bob White. . ( -
