I AND NY HUSBAND CAN Do WITHOUT"


1t this truly pathetic incident were in
drama it would be told to tires of
weeping woman and admiring men; but
IN real life it will pass without special
wonder as mere daily occurrence
mong the unromantic poor Of the
''Streets of of New York"
In New York city on Tuesday even
ing laboring man, accompanied by
his wife and six children, entered the
Aulberrystreet station, and asked Cap
tain Clinchy to give them shelter for
the night. Capt. Clinchy told doorman
burrell TO put them into one of the
warm cells on the first floor. Soon the
woman asked to be allowed to 90 out
and get food for the children. Seeing
now weak she was Captain Clinchy
told her to give him the money and he
would send Burrel out. The woman
handed Captain Clinchy four cents
NV hat, exclaimed Clinchy what sort
OF slipper do you intend to get for this 2"
"Bread, sir!" "Well, you wont get
enough fer you all for four cents"
'"fhats so, captain, but I and my hus-
band can do without It" Handing her
the four cents, Captain Clinchy accom-
panied by Burreli, went to neighbor-
ing bakers, and returned with three
leaves, some ham and fish, and a sub
scrlptlon was raised among the men,
all OF them gave their mite to assist the
poor family.
Here is an inspiration whose simple
pathos should move the world like a
new sermon from the Mount. 81 and
my husband can do without! What
devotion-what love! That poor moth
er is a jewel of which New York she uld
be prouder that of all her merchant
princes and railway kings.
