Has been added to the soliciting committee,
and he intends to solicit He makes the
following proposition to charitably dis
posed persons.
Any person who wants to send one
barrel or more to the Relief Bureau or the
Salvation Army woodward to be used for
charitable purposes he will send them
barrel of what is now called st Louis Flour
for So. IS. This is the same grade of flour
that Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Clay, Webster and all presidents and
statesmen of this country and also the
entire population of the world from
Adams time to 1860 lived on. One barrel
will feed family of six persons 80 days.
MANY people object to contributing to
charitable enterprises because they think
that many who don't really need help take
advantage of charity. Kelly says to such
people that if they will take into consider
alton the large number of people in this
city who have been out of employment for
the past nine months, and the large
amount of suffering relieved during that
time by charitable enterprises, DIRECTORS
would overlook the very few who are sue
cessful in imposing on charity. Christ
himself was deceived in selecting his dis
ciples, and can you expect distributing
committee with SO, 900 trust upon them
supply the needs of 1000 applicants, men
who are willing to work three Gays out of
every nine for $405. without picking out
the first time the unworthy ones? The
same with the Relief Bureau.
Don't look at the little drawbacks, gentle
men, but look at the working classes
among whom no strikes have been known,
nor their faithfulness to their employees
questioned, honest to the merchants in
paving their bills and doing their trading
home. KELLY says these people deserve
assistance now that the tide has turned
against them. There is no time that a
man feels as happy as when he gives
charity to deserving person.

A Pleading Moment.

Squire B. is the first citizen" Of
the New England town in which he
lives, and is respected by ell classes for
his sterling qualities and abstemious
habits. He has much of the courtli-
ness of the old school, coupled with
great personal dignity, yet tempered
with SO keen a sense of humor that he
can appreciate a joke, even though it be
at his own expense. He relates the fol-
lowing episode with relish: Not long
since his business called him to New
York, which is as much his home as is
his native place. He hailed a Fifth
avenue stage. and entering it, found it
nearly filed. Sprawling across the
aisle sat man in that stage of intoxi-
cation which renders one careless Of
appearances. Squire B. attempted
to step over his legs, but Just then the
stage gave lurch, and he stumbled
over them. To the great amusement
of everyone in the stage, the man sat
erect, and with maudlin severity said:

their clamps, hammers, vises, monkey
wrenches, sealing wax and other APP
purtenances. They attend to the miles
upon miles of gas pipe, water piping
and sewerage. One workman is al.
ways in the shop repairing fixtures OF
making new ones, but the others are
always out. looking after some portion
of the building which requires atten-
ton. II it were not for this shop the
government would be at an average
expense of about a hundred dollars q
day for plumbing, according to the
way plumbers bills generally are made
out. When the electric light gentle.
men wired the building they used the
gas fixtures to aid them In their work,

pipes for fear Of being shocked. They
do not fear being driven out of work,

plumbers in the treasury. They fire.

charwoman has lost her heart to the

This desk has been down here for some
time, but the cabinet shop was rushed
with repairing work on smaller desks

would cost the government about one
hundred and fifty dollars for such a
desk as this; and we have saved it
down here by repairing the damage.
No one could ever see that the desk
has been defaced. That plug looks
