Tho cablegram comes from Belgrade, whero the grand duchess is In exile at present, Tho cablegram roads: "Having mot Prof. Morehead and hoard from him of tho relief work his commission has done and is do ing In various countries of Europe, I can only hopo that this good work can bo oxtonded to Russia efugees in Siberia and elsewhere. ty I also express, with all my hoar.. . . hopo that, after these trying years, the Christians of America may, at the earliest practicable moment, come to tho aid of my suffering countrymen in Russia?" With tho cablegram from the for mer Czar's sister comes a cabled re port from Dr. J. A. Morehead on con ditions and needs in southeastern Europe. The report says that the : eed cf relief and church reconstruc tion in the Balkans ls enormous.

In many cases the church has to bo rebuilt from the very begin ning, as whole village.1: have been disintegrated and scattered.

We comply with the request, though not as an indication that poetic ef fusions or letters on tho subject will be published indefinitely. As a mat ter of fact, wo feel that the fun-mak ing has gone about far enough. Tho verses follow: Fellow-citizens and all, listen and hear What I feel my duty to say, regard less of fear; I say this principally to Harry, the lawyer, Who almost reminds me of old "Tom Sawyer." Harry wroto a piece the other day, The Keowee Courier printed it with out delay: It was a piece, criticising in nature, Almost as bad as Hilly Fennell's to the Legislature: Though Harry's piece told of tho con dition of roads, And how bad they were for horses with heavy loads, And how the chain gang, chained to tho branch, Kept poor convicts herded like cows on a ranch. This piece Harry wrote, then signed "American Legion," And of courso it was read in every region. lt was considered rather witty, and hit so well That Harry, tho lawyer, began to swell. At last ho docided to write a rhyme: He did, but I'll bet it took him a time. Ho said in his apologetic rhymo, (Speaking of tho chain gang piece,) "I only meant a little fun," And to himself I'll bet he hns snid, "It caused a littlo-a little ton." But Supervisor Fostor didn't Uko lt a bil; In fact, his friends fearod ho would havo a fit. Now, Harry has promised to como back some timo: If ho does, wo hopo ho will not rldo his witty rhymo; Indeed, Harry, everybody thinks you'vo said enough, plus more, i hen for tho land's sako stop, ore your pen falls to the floor!

Every county in the State has sent numbers of girls to this wonderful Institution, artd these girls as true daughters of Winthrop, have gone out Into tho world with Win throp's motto, "Service," instilled Into their minds and hoarts. It is interesting to Wow that Win throp is represented on every conti nent in the world except Australia. Tho great band of Winthrop Daugh ters, which almost reacher tho 6,000 mark, has followed, individually, many different lines of work. There are hundreds of Winthrop Daughters who are teachers; ninny have mar ried and now have homes of their own; some aro doing government work in Washington; a largo num ber are engaged in social service and Y, W. C. A. work; some aro homo demonstration agents, nonio missionaries in foreign countries, some stenographers, some privato secretarios, and some yeomen in tho navy!
