Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart Throbs: In Prose and Verse N ow, I want you to help me edit the national, and I am going to give ten thousand dollars to those who will do it. What I want is real heart throbs - those things that make us all kin; those things that endure - the classics Of our own lives. Send me a clipping, a story, an anecdote, or a selection that has touched your heart. It is in the American homes that I am searching for the literature that endures - those things that touch and pul sate with the best and noblest emotions and sentiment. It may be in that old school book in the attic; it may be be tween the leaves of the family Bible; it may be in mother's scrap book, yellow with age and hallowed by sacred memories; it may have been given you when you could scarcely read through the tears; it may be one of father's jovial jokes pasted on the side of his desk, or in that drawer long since unopened; it may be that clip ping well worn from taking out of the pocketbook Often to show a friend for a hearty laugh. Wholesome good cheer, humor, com fort, hope - those things that make dark days endurable and sunny days enduring. In this way I hope to get those priceless little gems which you have always looked for in your favorite periodical.
