The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-01-24

That's as good as National bank state
ment isn't it?
You mustn't lie back though on our re-
serve. Even Uncle Sans big surplus has
been used up in very few months
because he undertook to lie back on it,
thought he was rich enough to take little
time for play. We want TO keep good
reserve. You never know when hard
times are coming even with Bread Fund.

Kellar, the nimble magician at the
Providence Opera House, offers wager
of $500 on one OF his tricks to be given
THE News Bread Fund. just think how
many loaves $500 would buyi l6, $3.50 lonves!
Kellar is too clever man to lose his trick
though, and as the Bread Fund Is flour
ishing so well that it doesn't need the
money, The NEWS hopes he won't lose
the wager.
Ry the way Rev. Mr.. Rood of the Olney-
vile Tabernacle, one Of the company Of
devoted pastors who are doing so much to
relieve distress in that stricken COM
munity, tells The NEWS that while con-
tributions of clothing and food are pretty
well up there is great need of boys'
clothing. Any contribution of
clothing for boys would be received
with especial gratitude at the Tabernacle
as there is big demand for 1t still un-
satisfied.
Here are some more nice letters:

BY the way, II you haven't already seen
II, il would pay you to go to the Atwell's
avenue station between and s a. M, to l..
Dimond's & Son between 8 and 10 a. m, to
the new South Providence station between
IL and II a. m. or to Olneyville Square
between 1 and 2 p. IN. just to see the
distribution. II is wonderful and most
satisfying sight those who contribute
to the Bread Fund. Just visit
those places, see the Bread Fund, see
the Bread Fund in action, and II your
heart and purse aren't glad of the response

taken. ff

THE News heard n criticism this
morning about somebody drawing 13
loaves at one of the stations. That
does sound a little "hoggish," but II
was absolutely all right. THE News
can vouch for practically every
ticket that is given out-that 1t reaches
deserving person. Sometimes one able
bodied woman will do the collecting for
whole tenement house or for three
or four of her neigbbors and so she
will present an extraordinary number Of
drafts on THE News Bread Fund.
The drafts are honored now
without question, as IL Is practi-
cally assured that the distribution OF
the tickets is all right in however strange
lunches they turn up at the station.
Then, again, the tickets are only given out
from dav IN dav--no petitioner beinp
