1t is a popular belief and a common
mietake that the poor only suffer in the

Is the summer that does the deadly work.

tell in un m istakable figures. Disease runs
rampant in these districts. and there is
no escape for the inhabitants; poverty
chains and manaoles them. The picture
it all makes is sad enough when the
youngsters with sound bodies and limbs
are seen. bat when the cfipples and de-
formed become part OF it, and there are
many such in these houses, the horrible
misery becomes indescribable.
To rescue some portion of this vast
army, and given dash OF paradise TO
its cup of misery has been the work for
some years of whole brigade of million
aires. Upwards of two hundred thousand
of puny little boys and girls and babies
and wornout. despairing mothers are
gwen an outing in the country. 1t may
only be for day or two or fortnight
at the most, but the change from vitiated
air. clustering pavements, filth and
suffering, to the cool, green fields of the
country, wholesome food, cleanliness
and happiness saves scores of tiny lives.
There are upwards OF fifty charities, or
ganized particularly to delve into the
we'll of suffering of the tenemeats, seek
out the most needy and transport them
to the country. Many of these charities
very young babies and the half-sick
mothers. Another takes care Of the Grip
pies. Working girls are given rest by
a third. Some of them give whole fam
lilies days outing to near by point.
These charities cover q wide field and are
universally well managed. as each one is
earnestly looked after by a few individ.
uals who are its main support.
1t is only eighteen years ago that tho

its welfare. Ailirg babies and small

A HorseIess Wagon on Trial

An innovation IN street traffic in the
form OF horseless wagon was seen to-
day by large crowd of spectators in
Washington square. The wagon, which in
appearance does not differ materially
from the ordinary one, has been brought
to this country by Hilton, Hughes & Co.,

in use on the boulevards, both for pleas

cial aid of New York's gilded set. The

third erected by Mrs. Hux.on.
Mothers and young children are kept
there week and sometimes longer.
Nearly 1000 women and children will
have spent happy time there when the
season closes. No distinction is made In
race or creed. The only recommendation
required is absolute poverty and want.
These recommendations count for little
with the rest of the world, but they are
an open sesame here.
Many OF the children taken on these
outings make their first bow to nature
on going into the country, and are aston
iuued at what they see. The wonder of
the country child on its first visit to a
large city is nothing compared with the
effect of the fine air and unlimited space

they understand the kindnes showered
