A little sympathy OF the right sort goes long
way and when II IS practical and comes az the
right time IL IS golden. There was more hot
weather Yesterday 1t was hot that men fsl
down in the streets and some OF them died N q
lesser degree the heat was felt by every one who
had to go about in the city, and in the tenement
districts it was sitting in its closeness and IL
tensity There are some people who seem 20 think
that on a hot day no suffers but themselves
and that to them only Is any compassion due
Sometimes there are so many OF them around that
il seems as though there was no room FOR tas
other kind. And then comes a reminder that taa
other kind exist-the kind that do not imagine the
world To be centred IN themselves just because
Nature is making things mighty uncomfortable Tor
a while.
One Of these Others" made offer TO The Tro-
une Fresh Air Fund yesterday. He said that hs
wanted TO give $50 to the work OF this charity
which as is well known. consists in taking the u.
tie children Of che city tenernents away from thar
close and unhealthy homes in such weather as IN
and sending them away 70 cool places IN the eou'
try This friend Of fresh air children said that
he wanted to give $50 TO help along, but ne also
asked if there were not nine other people who fss
the same way about II that he did and 70 the
same extent He has not delivered the gict a.
yet for he wants to hear first that nine tFisns o.
city children have come forward with Ike anouna
That was the reminder that came through the mai
Yesterday and it was thought best 70 tel peops
about tt nv vav OF comment upon the hot weather
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is doing It's best 70
neutraize the efforts OF the Thermometer thsss
days. The children are going away daily oy scores
and Yesterday 103 more or them went reloehs
on their way But railroad tickets cost mone14
and there can be no premature marches on PeAins
in fresh air work for bills must be paid. Il costs
SS to send a child 10 the country for Two weeks
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund thanks is friends
for the help they have given and IN submitting me

gests that no one who reads these words IS havns
