They Want a Daily Flyer.

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., Oct. Especial to
The BEE. THE BEE flyer brought Joy to its
patrons in this city Sunday morning, and to
many others who wanted a Sunday paper

deliver it in all parts of town at the same
minute, and he had scarcely started out in
one direction till he found himself besieged
by Would-be buyers and those already
patrons from another. Ali vote the move a
great stroke of enterprise. Yesterday TIE
BEE was the only paper talked about, and
about the only one read. This is very much
of "A Sunday, churcn-going town, but the
people so ught THE BEE, and they sought it

MAKE THE CHILDREN HArrY.
Rev. w. J. Harsha's Appeal to the
Favored Little Onrs OF Omaha.

Rev. w, j. Harshn's Appeal To tne
Favored Little Oncs OF Omaha.
My DEAR LITTLE FRIENDS Last year
about this time addressed letter TO you,
asking you to save up your pennies until
Christmas time to buy presents for the poor
children. Many of you responded nobly,
and you remember how much happiness
YOUR generosity brought to 800 families Of
little ones to whom Santa Claus would not
have gone had it not been for you. Now.
what was good to do last year is good 10 do
this year. There are just as many poor,
destitute children in the city now as then
perhaps there are more AT all events, our
obligation to them is as great rs eve r; and |
trust you will be just as ready TO help me
to make them happy.
A kind physician was telling me, just last
week, of the misery of IA family into
which he was called. The father was away,
] think, and the mother was sick. There
were several children and they had no one
TO care for them, they mad gone to sleep in
all sorts of shapes and positions on the floor,
wherever they had become too tired to play
any longer. They were dirty and ragged
and looked very forlorn lying about la the
corners and ON the floor. Santa Claus would
not so to them, and they knew nothing at all
of the pleasures of Christmas. There are
hundreds of such families here in Omaha,
and we are going to try TO reach every one of
them with some gift however simple. So,
ii YOU have any pennies You can spare, or
playthings you have not quite worn out and
II YOU will send them to me- or tell me whore
| can get them, will see that they are used
in such way as to make some sad little
heart happy. If you could only have gone
around with the Kind ladies who distributed
your gifts last year, you would have had
your hearts made glad This year we will
try 20 describe some of the cases and places
visited, aud l know that you will be greatly
interested.
Perhaps ! may say to the older people who
read this request that the work described
above does not tend in any way to pauper1e
the recipients of the gifts; because the at
tempts is confined to trying 10 make Christ
mas a bright day to those to whom it would
otherwise be dull and without any christian
suggestion. II is recognized that promiscus q
Gus giving is often the purest mistake, but
there can be no harm in throwing "a little
brightness into the life of an Innocent child
whose manhood and love of the beautiful may
thus be awakened. Omaha has always been
noted for her generosity to her poor; and /
may safely venture to urge parents to assist
me in my attempts to so train the generosity
of the children, by awakening their interest
in those of their own age less favorably situ-
ated that our city's traditions IN this drec-
tion may be continued and increased. Very
cordially yours, WILLIAM j. HARsHA,
