The county commissioners were pleasantly
surprised yesterday az receiving SO % from a
young man 10 whom it had been given from the
county poor fund to relieve his pressing needs
about month previous.
In October young man OF foreign birth, good
appearance AID cheerful manners applied at the
Bureau of Associated charities for assistance.
He was SO years Of and had a wife 2s years OLD
and one child. Mr. Dooley on looking the mat
ter up discovered that he was almost destitute,
having only had work at odd jobs Tor :ong
time previous He had done dishwashiag and
other laboring work OF the most humble kind at
the smallest wages. On October IS County
Commissioner Gaseh, at Mr. Dooleys request,
gave him Sl3 80. ot which IS was for stove and
the rest for groceries Only n few days before,
when the superintendent was talking TO him,
tn man had refused money, saying: "Oh. never
mind have two-bits left today!' On Wednes-
day the young man appeared in Mr. Dooley's
office and handed hin, SIS. On inquiring he
found this was in payment OF the amount given
him. But" said Mr.. Dooley, "this is more than
Mr. Gasch sent YOU" "Oh, that's all right, let
that go as my contribution TO the work. was
the reply. The young man had in the mean
time got work wheeling bricks. The SIS 50 ad-
vanced 10 him was repaid TO Mr. Gasch. aud will
be By him returned TO the county funds. The
case Is perhaps one of the first of its kind on
record in this county, and is in agreeable con-
trast to those that ordinarily fall within the
notice of persons charged with charity worG.
