they can march from any Of the little posts

LET THE DIMES COME.
But Dollars Are Better for Santa
Claus Club.

Christmas is but twelve days away, and
there is great deal of work to be done by
the members of The Evening Star Santa
Claus Club In the collecting of Informal
tlon about the poor and the gathering of
FUNDS to relieve them. The blue and silver
are to be seen now in every section of the
city. The little folks wear the badges as
proudly as though they were the insignia
of the Legion of Honor. And it Is an hon.
orable distinction to be enrolled in the
cause of charity. There is a great lesson
or unselfishness to be learned from this
brushing up against the wants of others
/ that cannot be gained in any other way.
An interesting letter came to hand this
morning, showing that the children who
nave no dimes for badges are being re-
membered Ten of the pretty blue ribbons
and silver pins will be turned over to one
OF the schools as a result of this contribu-
ton:
Dear Evening Star-Inclosed please find
IL that sister and / send you to buy ten
badges for ten little girls what amt got
any money to buy them with. Sister end
ooh want you to send us any, We

says he don't make much money, but he
VIII be one of one hundred or as many as
VIII give 81 month for the next three
months to help those in need. Your little

The dollar goes into the fund, and IT is
to be hoped that it will be joined In few
hours by hundreds more. That dollar may
save some poor life that Is now flick ering
1t may buy shoes to cover bare feet 1t
may give hearty dinner to a family that
has not known such cheer for many
months
The suggestion that the father of these
little ones be Joined by hundred others to
give dollar a month for the next three
months Is a good one and should be con-
sidered by the charitable people. Mean
while, let the Santa Claus Club fund grow
as rapidly as possible. There are several
new contributions today, and tomorrow
there ought to be many more. The list up
