Cruel starvation should not enter the

Yet the ''Land Boomer" and the sell
fish and INSCRIPTIONS "shylock'' are
proclaiming through the press that
there is no restitution and that the
people have plenty in Nebraska.
The sick, destitute and feeble are
calling for aid; their scanty stores are
becoming exhausted, and yet they
know not where to replenish them.
Meanwhile the time for planting is
passing swiftly, but these people have
no seed, and without seed hope is gone!
Their need for provisions TO tide over
the weeks between the present time
and the coming harvest is very great;
yet SO imperative is the necessity for a
supply of seed for their crops, and feed
for their teams while cultivating, that
even present wants are almost lost
sight of in the anxiety TO provide for
future sustenance.
Kind friends, aid US to supply seed
while yet there is time. That they
may harvest, and provide for the COM
ing winter, or terrible destiiGtion and
suffering, will again prevail through
out our land.
Aid US to care for the sick and feeble
and your reward will come as the sun

their distress, am,

Poor Little Crippled Rdnee Brewer.
the Postage Stamp Collector
Dies or sirieE

Ednee Brewer. thelittle twelve
year old invalid girl. who was
known either personally or
through correspondence to peo-
pile overthe United States died at
Hot Springs. Arkansas. last
week. She was a remarkable
child. For seven years she had
been unable to walk or move any
partofher body except her hands
and head on account of injuries
to her spine received by a fall
when she was only 5 years old.
For year or more past she had
been collecting cancelled post
age stamps and friends from all
over the United States were
sending them to her. In this
way she supported herself BY
selling the stamps to dealers.
During the past year she col.
lected 100000 stamps in this
way, for which she received 800.
The poor little creature had to
lieon her stomach an the time
and in that uncomfortable posi-
ton she would work day after
day writing letters and counting
stamps that had been sent to her.
A few days ago themails brought
a copy of d Washington paper,
sent her by some one which con-
tanned a notice that Ednee Brow
er, who was collecting stamps toI
support herself and who was sup
posed to be an invalid, but that
she was not. This was an error,
of course, which probably grew
out CT the fact that a Miss Edna
Brown, of Illinois, is also collect
ing stamps in the same way for
the support of an invalid sister.
This cruel notice had the effect
of breaking poor little crippled
Ednee Brewers heart, for she
became i'll and died Saturday
morning.

was one day examining a batch
of deacons for priests orders.
After the theoretical part of the
examination, he said to them !:

most excellent examination in
theory. l should now like to
see you do something practical,

personate sick man. You will
come in one by one, address me
as a sick parishioner, and say
something comforting" When
his lordship had retired, the
candidates were in some confu-
sion, and nobody cared to begin ;
but at last a mad Irishman vol,
unteered to be the first. He en-
tered the study, and approach.

with a woe-begone air on a sofa.
thus addressed him "oh,

been the last time that the bishop
