Readers, who have cosy homes and
cheerful fires within, you little know the
pang- OF hunger and agoni-s OF suffering
from cold which affiict many less iortu-
nate neighbors about you. Fair Dakota
has hundreds OF them and Day County
not a few; but let Us hope that the
storm OF misfortune is soon over and
that all may weather thro' the winter
and reach the springtime safe, bearing in
mind ever after that in times OF plenty is
the time to saws that which drives power
ty from the door.
Yours truly,
