PAGE SIX. ASTORIA, OREOON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1904. MANY WOULD SHARE GOOD FORTUNE OF HELLO GIRL Slnc ths recent announcement that Miss CUttie Griggs, a telephone gtrl. employed with a Kansas City train commission company, had received a half million dollar bequest from i cousin In Alaska, she has received let ten from persons all over the middle west. Most of them have been from men, some proposing marriage; oth era asking for money, and still others faeextrur her to let them have the money to Invest or perfect Invention But the women have not been far be hind with appeala to the young heiress. Representatives of societies and asso ciations have reouested her to give a part of her money to them. The letters from men who desire the young woman for a wife, and, inci dent! her half million, although they all declare they love her for herself and not for her money's sake, are most In teresting to the disinterested reader, for Miss Griggs declares she will pay no attention to them. Mtm Orlim diva not deien to an wer any of them. and. as a result, the writers have, with one exception, sub- sided Into silence after one letter. The one exception Is an Iowa man. He gives his name as Butler and his ad- dress at Whlttemore, Iowa. His first letter to Miss Griggs covered three aheets and was closely written. In It he mixes business and sentiment by alternately declaring that he wanted U love her and begging for $5000 to "put him on his feet again." The first letter says In part: Miss CUttie Griggs, Kansas City, Mo. My Dear Friend: I have read of your good fortune In getlng a half mil Hon dollars. It will be nice for a young and beautiful girl like you are. I am a poor man and want to ask you to help me, I have been sick and lost out so that I am on my last ground. Won't j vou Kive me $5000 to start In the , drug business with? Or, no, I don't want you to give me the money. Let , me have It and I will repay you. That sum will be small to you and would be such a help to me, who needs a lift no sorely. Now, dear lady, remember the bible says It is good to give, and you won't miss It. I have worked PHILADELPHIA WOMAN'S President Roosevelt will receive as an Inauguration gift a quilt composed of 22,612 pieces, the handiwork of Mrs. Charlotte J. Crelgmile, of 523? Larch wood avenue, Philadelphia, says the North American. The quilt Is made entirely of satin In the national colors red, white and blue. Neither the reds nor blues are solid colors, but each is finely shaded, lessening the contrast and enhancing the color value of the whole. The ma terials alone cost upwards of $100. It was Mrs. Crelgmile's intention to present the quilt to President McKln- j ley, but he was assassinated before it was completed. She has waited some years to see if Roosevelt, as a presi dent, were worth the gift, and she is Loving One's Enemies. One of the hardest sayings In the gospels, according to the common opinion, is the command of Christ to his followers to love their enemies. People have said, how can a man love one whom he hates, and how can a man avoid hating a man who is hate ful? Men do not readily perceive that Christ and other great religious teach ers stand on a different plane of con sciousness from that occupied by the average man. Christ and all men who IRENE KOBER Novelty Artist At th Star This Week. 111 , 'hxy h t hard all my llf and have not squan dered my money, but you know we all have, bad luck at times." So on through to the end the let' ter ran. Mtss Qrigga did not answ the letter and she has recently re celved a second letter from Mr. But ter. Inclosing a stamp tor reply and pleading at great length and, In turn, for an answer, her love and $5000 of her money. He said: "My Dear Friend CUttie (If you will allow me to call you such): You must not get angry, but please read all this scribbling. It may be true that you are getting many letters, but will add that there Is not one of them that needs assistance from you as I do, I know If I could have a personal Interview with you, you would not turn me down. I have concluded that you are a flue girl and nothing would give me more pleasure than to be able to call you my wife. Would It not be nice If sue a thing would come to pass? I bet you will laugh and say I am craay, but 1 ' 1 am onl halt to th l" mile Vat Butler's letter continues on for sev i eral pages. His sentences fairly teem j with novel declarations. He also Intl mates that he will come to Kansas City to see Miss Griggs. Butler closes his : letter, after Innumerable pleas for money, with the phrase. "Tour honest friend," and begs In the humblest lan' guage for a reply. A man who signs himself Lowen stein writes from Strong City, Kansas, as follows: ! "Miss Clittie Griggs. My Dear j Friend. I am sure you will want to : Invest your money In a good, paying , proposition. Now, that Is what I have, It is a sure thing. If you will write to me I will send you the names of some of our leading business men who have Invested in my proposition. It pays 100 per cent per year. I would be willing to Invest as much as you ;wish and. In case my proposition I proves successful, would be willing to marry you. Hoping you will consider both my propositions, I remain." etc, Miss Griggs has been at work at the switchboard as usual GIFT TO THE PRESIDENT now entirely satisfied. She had no doubt of his election either. "Perhaps Roosevelt will not be elect ed. and then the quilt cannot be an inauguration gift," a visitor suggested the other day. "There's not much danger of that; but if It should happen I'll give it to him before," Mrs. Crelgmile replied, To a remark that perhaps Parker would appreciate the quilt if elected, she declared vigorously: "Not a bit of It! Give my quilt to a democrat? guess not!" Mrs. Crelgmile worked on the quilt and the two pillow shams that match It in odd moments for several years. When exhibited In a fair conducted by the women of the Baptist temple the quilt excited unstinted admiration and was prouounced a wonderful piece of needlework. live In their spirit, dwell not on the lowlands, but on the hilltops of the world. Living on the hilltops, the masters of life perceive the things that escape the attention of the hustlers and bust lers, who are so active in doing their daily tasks that they cannot see with any degree of clearness the faces of people they come In contact with. Christ saw that there Is no real cause for enmity between men; that hatred Is always due to a misunder standing of both our neighbors and ourselves. We put our emphasis on the wrong things, and hate those who refuse to say amen. But as men learn to accept the right of the neigh bor to think for himself, and to live his own life, the antagonism softens and softens, until it finally disappears In a friendly good will. When a man once loses the con ception of his own infallibility, and re cognizes that every right which he claims for himself, whether of belief or action, is a right that belongs equally to his neighborhood fellowship prevails. Hatred ceases because there Is nothing to hate. One may then love his enemy, because he knows that his enemy is such only through mis understanding that Is, ignorance has made every enemy. Knowledge will turn the enemy Into a friend. There has been little wisdom In our lives. Between two courses of action presented to us, we have usually chosen the worse, because, at the time It has appeared the easier.
