Early History of the International Sunshine Society
The International Sunshine society began from Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden's New York Tribune Sunshine column. It organized in 1900 to pass on cheerful greetings, expand through chapters, and fund social aid such as a $35,000 home for aged men in Tennessee and wheelchairs for the sick. It now claims about 100,000 members, 2000 branches, and widespread newspaper support.

Troubles of a diplomatist and a stray horse alert
Ten years ago Souza Rosa, a popular Portuguese diplomat in Lisbon, rose in society with lavish entertaining while secretly gambling on Wall Street to cover his expenses. Caught and indebted, he sold his possessions and sought recall, later reassigned to Paris where he remained unharmed. A separate note seeks the return of a bay horse branded EL and a roan horse from Tim Lynch's hop ranch, with Tucker's stables in North Yakima as the contact point.
