This little girl has been under the
care Of the International Sunshine So
ciety for nearly a year. The child was
a helpless cripple when Sunshine found
her, and her parents were too poor to
pay for her. treatment. For many,
many months she wore heavy braces
and footgear, but as the picture shows,
she is now able to remove all these and,
the physicians say, in a few weeks will
walk as well as any child. 6. The Sun
shine society paid all the expenses at
tending the little girls illness.a Con-
tributions have come from all over the

An Effort to MIsrepresent the Attitude
s1} OF Labor.
TO the Editor Of The journal.
Is it just that the railroad unions should
hobnob with the railroad magnates and
use our influence for the woe Of the peo-
pie? For veal or woe our interests
should be the same as the great majority,
For lack Of sympathy in the general well
fare, shall we sacrifice that general and
popular sympathy so freely expressed and
so very agreeable. Sympathy that alone
can be depended on to win us our fights
with the dividend loving promoter OF
over capitalized railroads.
The consumer pays the freight! n.
Can't we depend on the great American
public for square deal? Don't their
readily expressed sentiment show they
recognize ours to be an underpaid call
Ing? Don't they best realize and appre-
ciate the risks Of railroad men who have
relatives In that service? Have you or /
of the great rank and file of railroad men
even a pull with the guys" behind the
vouchers? .#Igs #
They scare us with promised reductions
Of salary, and you all know well we will
get them anyway the moment we show
our dependence on the 'bulti- billionaires''
that do things" synonym these days OF
doing others.
win we sacrifice the general interests,
our interests, to the advantage Of q die
tator, to an interest that imports multi
tudes OF foreign cheap laborers? Shall we
cease to be Americans and reduce our
selves to selfshness so narrow?
Let us broaden our views. use our
strength to broaden our sphere Of influ-
ence, strengthen ourselves with our peo-
pie, and we will succeed In excluding the
foreigner, imported at a rate below any
offered within our native America, for the
express purpose OF reducing wages.
Shall we, a people proud Of our physi,
cal superiority and our mental ability
protect and abet an overfed corporation
that will use every effort to foster upor
us the scum and degradation of Europe
and Asia?

With racing ripples the rhymes OF IL.
Out OF the flaming armament,
The ringing, singing mint of them.
The scarlet fades and the stars sprent
One after one the CLINT OF them:
And clear glow here the patterned words,
And dim is there the hint of them.
The heTogyphs of beasts and birds,
For God to read the print OF them.
Out of the wonder of Death and of Life,
Whatever stings or stirs of 1t.
Splendor of loving. splendor OF strife.

The blessing or the curse OF II,
The better or the worse of II.
There is no Word that is spoken TO Man
But Man shall make his Verse of Il.
