They Prove a Very Successful
Skirmishing Corps in the
Emergency.
Adjutant McFee's Office the Hea. quar.
ters for Donations of All Sorts,
Coming In Thick.

The Salvation Army Christmas dinner
fund is growing apace.
The school children can nearly always
be depended upon i'll a case of this kind.
Their sympathies are quick and warm.
They know what Christmas really is much
better than their elders, and the idea Of
anybody not having good warm dinner
on that day is something entirely 100 ter
rible to be thought of. So they have
turned in to serve the army as skirmish
corps. and the result is very Frightening
prospect for the outcasts.
After school hours yesterday the little
people called in numbers at Adjutant Nc
Fees office reporting progress, and the
stockroom at 862 Folsom street is assum-
ing the appearance of very thrifty store.
