"Mister, please won't you buy a
boauet and assist sick lady"' is the
appeal that a little girl has been
making TO citizens Of Salem for the
past few days. The sympathies OF
the charitably inclined were at once
enlisted and they listened to the
story. The sick lady was dying Of
consumption aud lived at number
142 Sumner street. The little girl
was getting money to assist her by
selling tissue paper boquets for thirty
cents each. In her rounds the little
flower girl solicited Rev. Rollins OF
the NJ. +. church to buy her flowers.
He inquired into the case and said
If the lads was really in need of
assistance that he would call and see
that'aid was rendered her. But II
was in vain that hc searched for the
number designated or for the sick
woman. As neither could be found
IL is safe to say the little boquet girl

To once more see his face break into
smile and the kindly twinkle come in
to his eyes I'd go up that steep slope
dozen times again, and do it on my
knees every time.
Well, Mr.. Beecher's door was slam
med in my face half dozen different
times. The servants couldn't have
taken me for burglar or sneak-thief;

so l had to conclude that they took me
for book-agent. That wasn't en-
couraging, though some book-agents
are good fellows. [ couldn't under

wasn't specially designed for a tired
little fellow to rest on.
