In Submitting

to you the "Wright's Health Under
wear " we desire calling special at ,
tention to their SANITARY QUALITIES.
These garments absorb the perspira-
ton as rapidly as emitted through
the pores of the skin and carry it to ,
the surface of the fabric, where it is
evaporated, thereby preventing the
body from being suddenly chilled by
atmospheric changes and guarding ,
the wearer against colds, la grippe,
pneumonia, rheumatism, etc. The
finest material is used in their manu-
facture, and for warmth, comfort and
durability are unsurpassed. The
fleeing is woven in the fibre, and is
guaranteed not to wear off until the
garment is thoroughly worn out.
Guaranteed NOT TO SHRINK in
washing. Look into our east window ,
and see the kind OF underwear we
are selling for 30 cents. Full-heeced
lined shirts and drawers.

A SAD LITTLE STORY
Told in Matron Thorpe's Inimitable
Way.
CHANCE FOR KIND PEOPLE

To DO Something For an Unfortunate
German Family, Industrious, but
the Husband aud Father Gut OF
Work.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
1t was a dainty bnt ill-shapen letter
the postman tossed into my sitting room,
and it bore in one corner the old fashioned
inscription, SIN haste" The awkward
appearance of the envelope was due to
fresh, dewy button hole bouquet, and the
inscription to the extreme want of Ger
man family, whose 'neighbor" begged
assistance for them.
1t is so unusual a thing for German
family to need charity that | decided on
a prompt investigation, After leaving
the car at the end of its route, l set out
on a zig-zag tramp toward the great
lakes, as the streets fenced for gardens,
made many retracingss of ones steps
necessary. 1t was muddy, and sidewalks
few and far between. By much inquiry
and guessing, at last the given number
stared me in the face
Two charming little maids of 10 in
terpreted for the invalid mother.
The story was this in brief: Three
years from Germany. The first year
good. The second and THIRD no work,
sickness, and little son born in the
family. This baby's age was told by the
mother raising three fingers and the
fourth part way-31a months. No food
for him but bread and water. No food
in the house but "two breads" given by
neighbOr. Shoes gone, clothes worn to
rags.
"Has your papa clothes?" I asked of
the pretty brunette (for one of these
sweet, womanly girls was a blonde and
the other brunette) The mother told
her to bring her papa's suit. She soon
displayed his best-a pair of overalls-
with yet a faint shade Of blue along the
seams the rest being mostly black
stitches and patches with holes in them!
How thankfully then thought of the
good bundle from Mr.. S. Barnum sent
me that very morning!
Then l thought, too, of the barrel of
good bread donated by MIR. Noyes MILL
ken. and of the money left me by Mrs.
.Vaughter for milk tickets. So I told the
twins to come to my rooms with their
baskets.
"Can we come barefooted?" they asked
soberlv.
My object in writing this story is this:
know many wealthy German farmers
take the JOURNAL, and believe some of
them will promptly respond to this call
for work and help
The father of this family is a good, in
dustrious man, but because he can speak
little English he was discharged from a
place where he was working. Every
morning regularly he applies at the
Santa Fe shops for work, for he ia good
mechanic.
The church of the family is German
Lutheran.
Cannot some kind ladies provide the
little girls with clothes? Two pink sun
bonnets and two faded light dresses are
all they have.
Come and see me about them.
