THE SCARECROW.

It was a regular scarecrow man, Made on tho old and well known plan—

- A cross of sticks in a garb forlorn That stood on guard in that fluid of corn. And, Indeed, It made tho old farmer smile As ho nut It up and whistled the while. It would look to tho crows so very ferocious, So truly astounding and atrocious, That It tickled his.fanoy to think how thoy Would catch n glimpse and flutter away.

Well, two black crows sat off on a treo, And tho young crow said to tho old ono: "Seo! Now what Is that frightful t)iing out there t It's enough any honest crow to scare I" But tho old crow chuckled and then looked wiso, Shook in his feathors and winked his oyos. Something tickled htm, but if 'twas a joko l tlu voice didn't show it when lie spoke, As looking down at tho younger crow He sold: "What Is It? Ah I don't you know!

"Why, that, as we wise ones all suppose, Is tho special patron saint of the crows. We Wfttch for his coming every year To toll when the Fonst of tho Corn is here. Seo how ho sitanda with his arms stretched oujjl Ho tl calling the crows from all about. Such a kind Invitation Is most nlhinin; So vory cordial and reassuring! I think wo had better accept, don't you?" And down to tho field of corn they flow.

—Wido Awako.

AFTER FOETY YEARS.

"It was in the fall of '47 that three young fellows left Rochester for the west, deter­mined to how out their fortunes or perish in tho attempt," said ono of the party of four or flvo who wero gathered in the .cabin of a lake propeller, bound down, one stormy night. One or two of tho number had stemmed the monotony and brokon the ice toward n freer feeling by rehears­ing some light anocdotes or reminiscences, when a gray haired, rotund gentleman ventured as above. All attention WAS given him, and ho then continued:

"As I was one of thorn I will bo moro personal mid say that wo were strong, well built specimens of manhood and had any amount of grit, and wo had also made up our minds to bo fully independent of the world and of oach other. Wo wont to­gether from Buffalo to Detroit by boat. Arriving at Detroit and spending a day or two in looking about wo then after con­sultation concluded to part company itndx each go In the direction ho thought best.

"This may seem rather queer, for young men to start out together with common interests and then to switch around and go it alone, but it wits a freak of young minds. It had something odd and ro­mantic about it that struck UH favorably.

"Boforo parting wo agreed to return to our old homo at Rochester In forty years, if our lives were spared. This was putting it a long ways ahoad, but this was only another freak.

"Well, as before said, I am one of tho three, and am now on my way to Roch­ester in fulfillment of the agreement made. I don't know whether I shall seo tho others or not. I have novor heard a word from cither of them, and renlly do not know whether to think they aro dead or aljvo."

While this wius being said a young man, who had been trying to read by tho dim, flickering light, put aside his book and strained eagerly to catch every word ut­tered by tho story teller.

"It might, iu viow of this," continued tho man with gray hairs, "bo interesting to you, gentlemen, to have a brief sketch of what has happenod to mo since that time of my separation from my comrades —now almost forty years ago."

"Yes, yes, lot us havo it," they all cried. Tho old gontloman moved himself into a

morocomfortable position, while the young man edged himself a litUo closer to the group,

"Woll, I struck straight north, took a boat for Mackinaw and from there drifted to Green Bay, Wis. There was nothing of Green Bay then, but I saw some good land, and by wiggling around I managed to got hold of some of it. I then held on; it was pretty hard work sometimes, but I never let that land go, and as a result it is worth many thousands of Unelo Sam's big silver dollars. But that is only on one line,- a*d Is a little out of order. I started a little supply store in Green Bay when it first be­gan to develop, and us I was having mod­erate success I soon tot mo a wlfo,

"Well, wo paddled along without much occurring until one day a big fellow came Into my store, said ho was a lumberman and ordered a heavy bill of goods. Ho then went out, and in a few hours roturnod considerably intoxicated and wanted to borrow $10. I of course could not let him havo it. for I had not found tlmo to look np who my customer was, and feared ho might bo tryiug to swindle me. Upon my refusing his request he became vory much enraged, and commenoed shooting at mo .with a big pistol ho carried. In defense of roysolf I seized a loaded gun that was standing, in a corner, and in the heat of the moment I disohargod it toward him, and was Immediately horrified to seo him fall and dio at onco.

"Well, to mako a long story short, I was exonerated from all guilt by tho authori­ties; and yot every littlo while I board some ono whisper and look or point to­ward me, and it made mo fool very uneasy. So I finally deoided to 'pull up stakes' and go farther west. About this time, how­ever, I was drafted Into tho military serv­ice—the war had just begun—and went through tho wholo campaign, leaving be­hind thoso two fingers ,r~holding up his hand for lnspectlon--"and bringing out the long scar on tho back of my head.

"I then wont west again, picked up my family and struck Into the grazing dis-triot of Montana. I bought a few head of cattle at first, and by care I have been able to see these multiply, until now I have ono of the largest and most successful cattlo ranches in that section of tho country. I have seen all kinds of 'roughing it' out there, and may say that I havo had many adventuros of varied nature. I am now 04 years old and bid fair to seo 81, as far as my general bodily vigor is concerned.

"Such is, briefly, my life, and what it has done; and you don't know how anxious I am to learn of those other two young men—and tolsnow the result of their forty year struggle "

This was in an Interesting and pleasant tone, and had just been finished when the young man who had been listening intent­ly stepped forward, and addressing himself to the little old gentleman said politely:

"Excuse me, sir; but may I ask your name?"

"Certainly, sir—certainly," was ropliod, and tho old gentleman gavo his full name.

" said tho young man, "I your hand, for you are my

cries of tho northern coast, and during a visit to those grounds was fAkon captive by a roving band of Indians and bold for over a year. He finally imccoedod in mak­ing his escape, but was in tho mountains for months; at last, and by tho merest chance, got ting to tho coast again, and so on back to San Francisco. 11^ Ijccamo cashier in a bank, and whilo in ibis posi­tion married the daughter of tho bank's president. J t was not long after this be­fore my father found himself president of tho bank, which was the largest institution of its kind on tho Pacific coast.

"It was then .that my father began his public career, and ho continued to riso In worldly station until his death came. I am now one of the officers of the bunk of which my father was for years president, and have large and pressing interests to oversee, yet I havo left all for a tithe Cor the sole purpose of following out the wishes—1 may almost say last wishes—of my father relative to this trip to Rochester and the hunting up of tho other two of that original littlo party of forty years ago. I h;.ve some mementoes with mo that father put aside for those ho expected to moot tills year at Rochester, and n;nv 1 am afraid that wo will have to unite our pow­ers in uu effort to find No. 8 of tho original party."

Just thou a violent stamping was heard in oneof tho little staterooms onone#ideof where tho narrators and their small body of listenors woro seated. Then two or three sharp kicks camo against tho door, followed by:

"Consarn itl ef I hadn't gotsech infernal tight boots, jest t' go dowi| t' Rochester in, I wouldn't hov t' kick th' infernal legsofT'n mo when I wanted t' put them on."

Then thoro camo a groat bang, with a "Thar, by goll"

Immediately thereafter a tall, thin, straight haired old fellow oponed tho door of the room from which the noiso had come and, minus collar and with ono trdwser log caught on tho top of his hoot, ho stood in the dim glare of the oscillating light and looked with bewilderment toward the wondering onas about tho table.

"Ken any of you fellora toll mo of I've boon a dronmin'!"' ho inquired aftor a mo­ment or two had passed.

"I don't believe wo can, uncle," said one of the numlicr. ^V^

"Ilev you fellers been a tellin' yarns?" ho again asked, without much attention to tho answer just received.

The little old gentleman ventured to say that they had been considering somo old time events.

"Then I ain't boon drenmiu'; I knowed I was awake. Say, which one of y o | was tellin' that lust story?" hoasked; and upon tho young man acknowledging that ho was tho one the old fellow said:

"Put her right thar, then, for I knowed your dad;" then turning toward tho group iio Inquired i

"Now, who was it thct told th ' first yarn 'bout, thoso three chaps?"

The littlo old gentleman bobbed up. pre­pared by his former surprise to have al­most anyth ing happen.

"Then , " ejaculated tho old fellow, his disheveled hair and sparkl ing eyes indicat­ing much excitement, "I ' l l bo clubbed an 1 skinned fer a sneakln' , wild eyed rat t le snake of I a in ' t tlier misyin' link. I'm one of (her same crowd thet seporateil at De­troit away back t ha r in M7, an ' I 'm jest on my way—M'linder 'n ' I—down t ' Kocliester t ' shako ban 's all eround ag'in. By thor great whale tha t eat up thet feller Job , but this is or coincerdenoe."

After further expressions of surprise on the part of each tho tall old man was calmed down sufficiently to tell his story, which was as follows:

"Wal l , boys, I jest wont back a few mile an* set r ight down on 160 acres of as; fine land as lay ou t of doors, an ' thai! I 've been a-settln' over since, except when I was get-t in ' 'bout a cloarln' off all th ' timber, pullin ' out th ' s tumps, an ' fonein', an ' buildin ' house an ' barns, an ' doin' t h ' hun­dred things thet come in a feller's way on a farm. Of course 1 got mo a wife', an ' she's r ight in t ha r now, a-listonin' toevory word I say. She's a sniar t woman, too, I want to tell you," said ho, slyly winking a t his hearers.'

"Wal l , as to happenin 's of any sort of consequenco, I guess Wo a in ' t lied none. I am a thorough mosaback, yooee. Hev been one for forty year, an ' know bub littlo of anyth ing elso.

"AH to fortun' I hev t ha t farm, with all thot 's on it, an ' thet seems to bo about all I ken handle. An' for tha t mat ter , I don' t know bu t what I hev all 1 really kero about. I've got ten boys an ' six gals, an ' ef I had a million they wouldn ' t bo satis­fied. So, whon I go, thar ' l l bo only tho farm, an ' the t won' t bo sech a great th ing fer sixteen to fight over. Otherwise I may Say thet tho world has used me tolor'blo well. I've never wont t ' bed hungry, os I ken remoinbor, an ' hev always bed a good shollor from th ' storm. Take it tjll orottnd, an ' my story a in ' t very long, nor does it sparklo with ther diamon's of soul s t i rr in ' events; but I'll toll yer what, tor do. We'll go dpwn nn' look over oP Rochester an ' seo ef she has any marks of famil 'arity, an* then adjourn back t ' my farm, wlmr I'll rogaloye with hard cider, apples, dough­nuts an ' grandchildren.

WHY THE COTTON MILLS RESOLVED TO CL08E THEIR BOORS.

'Then, sir, want to grasp father's old friend, and I am now on my way to Rochester to find a gentleman of your name and bearing your history,"

"What!" exclaimed tho old timer, ex­hibiting great surprise; "you don't moan to say that you aro tho son of ono of thoso two lost ones—ono of tho two associated with me in that freak of forty years agof"

"Yes, sir," said tho tall young fellow. "That Is just what I mean."

"wollI well! Just stop here where the ugm> will snow better. Yes, 1 see a dis­tant resemblance. You certainly look very much like that hearty young companion of mine forty years ago; vory inuch, in fact, as I have almost expected to seoailm—though I know that over half a lifetime has passed by. But your father—tell mo of him at once," and tho little old man began to get fidgety.

They relaxed their grasp ol caoh other's hands and sat down togother, whilo tho others gave overy attontion.

"My father is dead," began tho young man.

"Whatl" said the sire at his side. "Yes, my father, and tho companion of

A lato numboj- of Tho Boston Com­mercial Bullotin makes the following statements in rijgard to tho shutting down of mills in tho cotton manufactur­ing industry:

"Thio • week's manufacturing news shows n long list of silent wheels in tho cotton industry. Somo of tlio mills re­ported closed havo shut down merely to mako nocossfiry repairs or to change ma­chinery; others are factories running on print cloths, which aro closed to relieve tho overstocked market, and still others shut down on account of labor troubles. The print cloth companies which agreed to tho shut down, as reported last week, havo not generally closed • their mills as yet, but intend to do so noxt week. Thero Is some talk in Fall River of an annual stoppage of machinery for a period of six days. This would certainly do much to­ward keeping the market on a moro oven basis and would go far toward prevent­ing such an overstocked print cloth markot as there is at present."

Thoso cotton manufacturers aro great believers in the "home market;" but, as thoy can mako moro goods than tho homo market can consume, thoy And it necessary to shut down their mills to let tho consumption ovortako tho supply.

I t is stated by Tho Dry Goods Econo­mist that the surplus stocks now on hand at tho mills will reach nearly 000,000 pieces. Tho mills affected by the shut down havo a weekly output of about 46(5,000 pieces, and the agreement is that the stoppages shall bo for ono weok, with tho probability that it may extend to two weeks. It is oven sug­gested that the shut down continue for one month. »

But why should thoso manufacturers shut down thoir mills at all? Is it not clear that after the people have voted high taxes upon thomsolvos in order to protect tho mill ownors these latter should lecop thoir mills in operation all tho timo in ordor to give tho taxpayers tho benefit of tho choapest possible goods? Is it fair to ask tho people to tax thomsolvos for tho benefit of mills that stand idle a part of tho time? Those cotton mills havo tho' advantage of pro­tective duties nuigiug from 89 to 69 per cenft> ad valoro.n. Does not that fact lay them under somo obligations to the public?

But it will bo answered, "The manu­facturers havo already supplied tho home markot, and yot they havo 900,000 pieces of cloth left oyer. Thoy aro compelled to shut down—-what elso shall thoy do?" 5

To which it is reasonable to answer, "Let them launch out into tho markets of tho world—anything rather than that American enterprises should halt for ono day and stand idle in tho markot places of tho nations."

But jur.t there io tho fatal weakness which protection has fostered in our manufacturers—an exclusive vellande on tho homo market, •which is guaranteed to them by their country's laws, and an excessive timidity and self distrust whon (hoy aro invited to coaso clinging to tho shore and to steer out into wider wators.

This la not an idlo indictment bused upon outside opinion. Tho feeling of our cotton manufacturers toward the foreign market and thoir astonishing lack of enterprise In not cutting n large figure in that market may bo seen from tho following words, which wero written by nn agfoUt of ono of these vory mills:

"If iho cotton mills would only cater moro to tho foreign trade thoy would havo a market for their goods whenever business goto dull at homo. Tho South American trade is especially desirublo, and could bo easily built up if tho manu­facturers would look Into and consider tho necessary points to bo covered. Whon-evor thoro is a depression at home, as at present, thoy think of tho export trade moro seriously, but the vory minute tho home demand springs up and increases thoy have entirely forgotton export in­terests, which if developed in tho proper way would servo them woll in future dull periods."

And precisely tho same opinion is ox prossod by Tho New York Dry Goods Economist, which is tho principal trado papor of tho dry goods business in tho United States.

This paper says of tho cotton manu­facturers: "Tho majority novor give any thought to tho export trado until tho homo market Is glutted and stocks must be moved. Then they sell at any prices thoy can get until they bring tho homo markot to tho better condition previous­ly described. That Is tho solo reason why tho export trado in cotton goods is no larger and so variable."

I t will not do for thoso manufacturers to plead any longor that they cannot compete in foreign markets. As a mat­ter of fact thero are a fow enterprising mills which export a very largo quan­tity of cotton cloth. Tho Jackson Man­ufacturing company at Nashua, N. H., exports more than 80,000,000 yards a year. Another mill exports 10,000,000 yards. Thoro aro other largo mills which export considerable an(ounts. Our total exports of cotton cloth last yoar were 118,000,000 yards.

But i t is true that the great mass of our cotton mill ownors givo themsolves absolutely no concorn about tho foreign market. Why? They prefer tho higher profits which protection guarantees to them in tho homo market, oven though they havo to shut down their mills for a tlmo to keep up thoir home market prices. Figures are frequontly publish* ed in the trado papers giving the annual dividends of theso mills, and many of them show very large earnings, and the stocks of some of them are at an enor­mous premium. A cuso was recently pointed to in the senate where the stocks of a certain New England cotton mill woro held at moro than double thoir original value.

The trouble about the wholo thing is that American manufacturers can be satisfied only with dividends wliioh to ordinary peoplo seem excessive That is why thoy give so little attontion to build­ing up a foreign markot for cotton goods. Thoy prefer tho larger protfferof tho pro-tooted homo market, and in the home market they prefer to oonflno themselves to the most hlghlv protootod and conse­quently most profitable forms of manu­facturing,

Senator Plumb said in tho senate, speaking on this vory point, that "tho Amorioan manufacturer does not manu­facture anything . ho cannot mako a oertain ana great profit on, and he stands out of the way of tho foreign man­ufacturer as to other articles on which he cannot make satisfactory profits,"

PLANNING FOE NORA.

PLEA FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE OVERWORKED GIRL.

Would She N o t I>6 H e r W « r k B e t t e r If

Kim WHH Given a H o l i d a y OccanIonallT?

Hor Lot Compared w i t h T h a t of H e r

E m p l o y e r s — I t I s Keonomy.

There is many a house where all summer long gaycty goes on, company arrives, ex­cursions aro planned and carried out, merrymakings aro held, and overy one Is tired out with pleasure, and It crosses no ono's mind tha t thero is somo one else who Is tired out, and tha t not with pleasure, but with work; not with excitement and variety, but with tho perpetual nervous s train of routine and monotony.- This per­son has had none of tho comfort or delight of fresh companionship tha t arr iving guests havo given to tho rest of tho household, none of tho gay l ightheadedness which comes with company for whom work and cares aro put asido for tho t ime being; she has joined none of tho excursions of course; she has had none of the merrimont of the merrymakings; her only shnro of the fes­tivity has been In the preparation of its viands and tho blearing up of its debris.

Tho others may havo cake; she has crumbs. Tho bubble of tho foam has all fallen boforo the d raugh t of pleasure reaches her lips; in fact it never roaches her lips a t all. She is not thought of iu relation to it. All t h a t she has to do with i t is to receive her pay for work tha t makes i t possible—she, the deaex machlna.

With all this no one dreams t ha t this in­s t rument of tho household pleasure, th is kitchen girl, is being treated unkindly or harshly, or is being overburdened with labor. Sho is well housed, well fed, gently addressed, regularly paid, somewhat con­sidered; what moro could be expected? Wo-—nous autres—-must have our garden parties, our sailing parties, our picnics; sho mus t mako ready for them—that is her part of it all. Fo r what else do we pay hor? Sho is not hired to go pleasuring with us; she does not wish to do so. Our pleasure would very likely be dull busi­ness for her, and Indeed If she went we should have to stay a t home.

HOW IT SEEMS TO ,*ORA. Perhaps Nora never complains of any of

this to herself or to another, but takes It for granted, and submits to it as the galley slavo to his ball and ehaln, an something inevitable, belonging to tho condition of things and wasting to the vital economy to kick against. But, all tho same, it can but wear upon her. It sufficiently tasks her capacity to work for the daily family needs tho year round; this extra wear and tear, tho desiro to pleaso, the fear of fall­ing short, tho labor of finer or more cook­ing, of moro dish washing, laundryiug, all together, bring a now strain that calls up all hor reserve of physical strength, and unless sho is of a very contented and unre­sisting nature all her nervous strength as well; and it Is safe to say that if she is of tho unresisting sort she has not the vigor or energy to bo valuable in her place.

If wo gave this patient Nora a commis­erating or nn encouraging word now and then—If.we said, not in so many words perhaps, that she had all the fuss and we had all the fun, intimating at any rate an appreciation of that fact, would the family therefore go to pieces, as Mr. Bag-net used to fear If a flattering truth were owned? Would it really destroy discipline? Would Nora at once become so topping that nothing could bo done with hor? Or would sho feel her heart warm with the sense of appreciation, the touch of sym­pathy, sleep sweeter, wake stronger, work better? It seems as if every one in tho house should find this an experiment worth trying.

Undoubtedly this kind word is frequently spoken In many households, and the maid is cheered and the work taken up by her moro lightly In consequence. But does tho duty end there? Should all the pleas­uring bo with the superiors?

HOW IT MIGHT AFFECT IIEB. Should not tho maid havo opportunit ies

provided beyond t h a t of her Sunday morn­ing mass, and of her weekly evening in all the long sunshiny days—tho days of rail­way excursions into woods and hills, of steamboat voyages down the rivers and along the shores? Should i t not bo seen to tha t on different days of the summer sho has a wholo day's out ing, gets up with­out a weight of duties pressing on her and to bo remembered, hours to be kept, tasks to bo done; lays down her load for a whole twenty-four hours a t a t ime, rests a t home without lifting a finger, or goes off and takes her pleasure in her own way, allowed to th ink of nothing In tho way of work from rising unt i l bedtime? I t will have Its inconvenience for n».

If wo aro of narrow means We mus t economize somewhere, and hire another person to run in and do the work for the day, or elso we mus t do It ourselves. But even in the lat ter contingency we shall bo exert ing ourselves no more t han we usual­ly do whon on ou r outdoor excursions wo make a toil of pleasure. Indeed, wo can make a pleasure of toil hero. Thoso of tho family who are a t all able bodied can divide tho house keeping duties so t ha t they shall weigh unduly upon none—can make a sort of picnic of tho whole day's work, a kitch­en "bee," and if they find it not altogether to their mind they will a t bedtime see Norn return with a warmth of welcome tha t cheers her as well as themselves.

And having tried this suggestion once thoy will wonder a t her patience and a t their own previous want of thought , and will resolve that Nora 's out ings and boll-. days shall be as much a mat te r of consid­eration in tho futuro as thoir own. And on her side the Nora thus entreated will ho sure to leave tho larderso richly stocked with well prepared provisions tha t the "l iv ing" will b o a littlo daintier than if she had staid at homo.—Harper's Bazar.

"The business looks pret ty and smells sweet, b u t i t Is a hard one to r u n , " said a Har lem florist to a friend who praised the bunohos of gladiolus, tuberoses and other a u t u m n flowers t h a t filled his windows, and who added, by way of a moral,%hat it WP« ) much ploasauter way • / making a living than selling beefsteak «r dishing u p dry goods. Thus the florist took up his parable again and continued: " I t is t he cash tha t makes the trouble. Chance buy­ers and people who live In flats pay ready money for all thoy have, but those who own their houses want unlimited credit. One spring I made over a hundred gardens for rich men in this city and set plants out for them. Their families went to tho coun­try, arid I havo not been able to collect my bill from one in ten.

"As for weddings, thero was one wealthy man in this street who filled his house with flowers when his daughter was mar­ried, and wanted 0 Vory th ing of the best. The bride stood under a bell of camellias, and roses were banked up everywhere, re­gardless of expense, bu t when I presented my bill at the end of,, six months he or dered me out of tho houso for my pro sumption. It is nearly a year since I filled tho order, and I expect there'll be a birth and a funeral in tho house before 1 get my money. That is what makes me tired of flowers, and I am thinking of sell­ing out and going into something not quite so pretty—stoves, for instance." Then the florist, who had snapped ft five cent rose off its stent in his wrath , fastened it on with a bit of wire, making it look as good as now, and sold it to an unsuspicious dudo for a quarter.—New York Sun.

WHAT UUKES t

Editorial Difference of Opinion on an Important Subject.

A itoiii-viiNnii, Singer. The principal singer of tho great theatre

at Lyons one day obsorved a poor woman, with her four children, begging in the street. Her decent and respectablo appear­ance, iu tho midst of extreme poverty, in­terested the kind hearted vocalist. Ho de­sired tho poor woman to follow him into the Place Bellour, where, placing himself in a corner with Ids back to the wall, his head covered with his handkerchief and his hat at his feet, he began to sing his most favorite opera airs. The beauty of his voico drew a crowd round; tho idea of some mystery stimulated tho bystanders, and flvo franc pieces fell in showers into the hat.

When the singer, who had thus in the goodness of his heart transformed himself Into a street minstrel, thought ho had enough, ho took up the hat, emptied its contents into tho apron of the poor woman, who stood motionless with amazement and happiness, and disappeared among the crowd. His talent, however, betrayed him, though his face was concealed; tho story spread, and tho next evening when he ap­peared on tho stage shouts of applauso from all parts of tho house proved that a good action is never thrown away.—New York Ledger.

Address*! of Correspondent*. Whoever has lost a valuable hour or two

in hunting for old letters in order to find a necessary address which a correspondent has carelessly neglected to give, and has not lost his temper, is gifted with a rare degree of patience, In these busy days no person has a moral right to levy upon tho time of another by writing a letter upon a sheet which does not contain the printed address of the writer. Whon peoplo ap­preciate this truth it will be a sure sign ef the dawning of tho millennium.

Uutil then w^.must endure tho evij with the best grace possible, and devise such means of individual relief as wo can. I find much assistance in an indexed blank book. As soon as I read a letter containing an address down goes the address into my book, and though my correspondent writes mo a dozen times and never again gives me his address ho cannot compel mo to waste my time going over files of old let­ters. Tho same is true of all addresecs Which I desire to preserve for future refer­ence. No consideration would induce me to dispense with this—to me—necessity.— Cor. Writer.
