Works Hard to Pnl Food in Their
Mouths and Clothes on
Their Backs

The Evening Journal, assisted by
City Councilman Henry r. Smith
James B. Oberly and other kind
friends, including A. A. Marks. of New
York, intends to put an artificial foot
in the stocking of Joseph Dombrowsh,
16 years old, of No. 4O7 Seventh ave
nue. this city. for a Christmas present.
At present the manned boy hobbies
around on a crutch. In a few days he
will have one OF the best artificial
limbs that money cap buy, and in a
few weeks he will be a wage-earner in
stead of a burden upon his widowed
mother. whose husband left her with
eight children to struggle for.
So send in your subscriptions at
once, and help swell the fund for this
practical Christmas gift. which will
give life a new aspect to the little fel-
low. who soon must go TO work 10 help
support his unfortunate mother and lit
tie brothers and sisters.
KINDNESS OF A. A. MARKS.
Two weeks ago a representative OF
the Evening Journal called on A. A.
I Marks, manufacturer Of artificial limbs
No. 701 Broadway, New York, and ex-
planned the project to his manager.
I'VE will give you twenty per cent
off. or $40" he said. "and guarantee tC
make whatever alterations are to b,
made in the leg. free of charge. No
that alone, but if You will furnish oui
man with transportation we VIII senl
him to Wilmington to make The
measurements free of charge"
He was thanked warmly for his dis
Iplay of interest in the movement.
Upon the return from New York of tn.
Evening Journals representative. the
manned boy was taken to the studio o.
J. Paul Brown, who had offered Z,
photograph him for nothing and had Z
sitting. From that photograph Tho
above illustration was taken.
Another pleasing feature will be The
donation of Agent Frank Stout. of the
S. p. c. c.. who, through his interes
in the matter, has received a quantity
lof provisions from various people ant
will present them to the family OF
christmas eve. Mr.. Stout is thorough
ly in sympathy with the Evening
Journals cause, and believes the fam.
lily to be a deserving one.
Thus far these subscriptions havl
been received from those who werl
privately informed Of the movement:
