ORGANIZED CHARITY.
BY MRS. LILLIAN 1KGbEs.

Nearly every organization for
the dispensation of charity
has, in addition to its executive
body, two very important branch
es, namely, an Employment Blu
reau and a Depot Of Supplies.
The employment bureau en-
deavors to furnish to every appli-
cant for assistance work in ac-
cordance with his and her men
tai and physical ability.
A record of the applicants, to-
gether with the dates of adoption,
and a brief statement of the cir.
cumstances and the amount
of assistance required, is kept in
alpha betical order, and on the
discharge of any applicant from
the care of The society an entry
is made of the date and circum.
stance.
Through the instrumentality
of the employment bureau a large
number Of people are every year
rescued from a state of shiftless
idleness and their lives made use
full to others and pleasant to
themselves.
The depot of supplies is u.s.
ually established in the lodge
room of the local society, and is
maintained by voluntary contri-
buttons and by the purchase of
necessary articles by the society.
The supplies are furnished to
the applicants during the time of
actual need, and consist of ser.
Yieable, durable, washable arti.
cles Of clothing and bedding, each
article being plainly and indelib-
lY marked with the monogram of
the society. A few articles of
enamel ware, lint, bandages and
whatever other articles may be
found indispensable in cases of
sickness or accident, and which
are invariably lacking in the
homes of the very poor, are
numbered among the necessary
supplies.
The practice of giving outright
to those who are in the habit of
receiving assistance has been
inimical to the best results, for,
far from encouraging them to
make reasonable effort to pro-
vide for themselves, it is a de-
plorable fact that in a ma jority
of cases they seem to consider
that they are "jast so much
ahead, =" and often on the second
or third application for help, af-
ter a season of health and lucra-
tive employment, they arc found
fairly we'll supplied with articles
furnished by the society months
before. This is an injustice to
the public which supports the So
cietY, and it is generally con-
ceded that it is best to limit the
actual giving TO the ting Of act
ual need.
Two standing com mittees,
namely, an investigating and a
visiting committed, are main-
tanned in every society, the du-
ties of the former being to in
quire into the needs and merits
Of each case and report the same
10 the president.
The visiting com mittee con-
sists of eight members. one for
each day of the week, and one al
ternate wpo serves in lieu of any
member who may be unable TO
act. A new visiting committee
is appointed at each regular
meeting, and Thus an equal dis
of the most arduQus

ant work of the society is Sc

"REMINISCENCES FOR VANITY.

states, and not ou1y the recent
reports but those for the whole
winter, recall my trials of twenty
three years ago in South Dakota.
And, as / have heard some kick
ing about the cold here, and have
once or twice felt like kicking a
little myself Qndeed, all the old
est settlers declare they have
never seen it so here before, I
thought it would not be amiss to
give short account of my per-
sonal experiences during the
winter above referred to, SOL.
I was located about sixty-fve
miles west of Sioux Falls, near
the Chicago & Milwaukee rail-
road, just built the previous fall
to Mitchell, where the govern
ment land Office was located.
Our first blizzard was in Octo-
Der. Then we had a month of
pleasant weather and after that
billiards. continually, with but
short intervals between them.
The term blizzard has no mean
ing to one who has never seen
one. l saw raging snowstorms
in Pennsylvania, with snow four
feet deep and drifts ten, but
these were p1aythings compared
with a Dakota blizzard, which
neither man nor beast can face
and it is usless to try it. The
blizzard is not a short furry of
snow, but a continuous binding,
face-cutting, fine, hard-grained
snow, like sharp sand carried at
the rate of forty to fifty miles
per hour, sometimes for four
days without a moments inter-
mission. Alas for him who may
be caught out in such a storm.
His case is more hopeless than if
he were cast adrift in a small
canoe in mid-oceap, as no object
during the storm is visible two
rods distant. People have been
found frozen within fifty yards of
their homes, after possibly two
days fruitless effort to find house
or barn or any shelter. ]
About forty times during that
winter spent from two to four
days shut up, my house embed
ded in the drift up to the caves,
closing up doors and windows and
shutting out eveey ray of light.
AS many times have 1 dug my
self out through the drift (dur-
ing the storm the wind bowls al
most like wolves and by the ces-
sation of the bowling I knew the
storm had ceased.) Not only
did dig myself out, but I had to
dig hole to get to my horse in
the stable. Then dig my hay
stack out CT the drift for feed for
him and fuel for myself, for we
had nothing but hay to burn, and
they were fortunate who room
in the house to store enough oft
to last through a blizzard, as the
drifts were as high as the hay
stacks and had to be cleared
away to get at the hay; no trif-
ing job, and occasionally another
blizzard interfered before much
hay was secured and those who
stayed at nome were saved till
spring came.
But we often ventured out on
clear days on short visits to see
the neighbors or to go to town,
which was six miles distant, to
get sons coffee, sugar and other
groceries, but finally the coffee,
sugar, ETC., gave out and there
was nothing to buy. l was mere
fortunate than most of my neigh
bors (neighbors meant those liv-
ing within a radius of five to fif-
teen miles, had a wagon load
of wheat made into flour just be-
fore the mill froze up. had my
cellar full of potatoes, squashes.
turnips, etc. also several gallons
