Look here. little folks! Why don't you

Is orly a month away? That the fund
Of 1893 can't succeed without you help?
That $1,000 poor little boys and girls
will be forgotten Christmas morning I'M
less you remember them?
Don't you know that 1t Is the duty OF
every child to make some other child
happy
Don't you know that II you can do
good and don't do good that you are
setting an example in s%elhshness that
others will certainly follow?
You don't know how much sorrow and
suffering there is in this beautiful city.
and 1t isn't best that you should know.
but. dear little men, sweet little girls,
1t is an honest fact that the pennies
you spend in one week for ~napoleons.

for a poor child. OF course, those dainties
taste good. but they don't do you any
good. They are not nourishing. They
only put your delicate stomachs out OF
order and make your little white teeth
ache. No soldier could light a battle
on that sort Of food. Now II o cared
to give up cakes and candies for a week
or two. and II you were to send the
money. saved to the cashier Of The

entertained at the Christmas parties.
