LAND OF MAKE-BELTETE.
Fresh dir Children Apt to Eaagger-
ate Home Life.

NO matter how poor a child may be. his pride
and boastfulness are keenly developed as the
workers in the Tribune Fresh Air Fund have
learned through long years of experience In
fact. the poorer child is the more inclined is
he to boast of his home life. The hosts in the
country hear many remarkable stories from the
children. and frequently come to the conclusion
that the child is not deserving Of charity In
rare instances such is the case, but after
thorough investigation the majority of the chill
dren that are reported found TO come from
desperately poor families
II is natural for children to exagEerate and
when child is taken from a forIorn home and
placed in u prosperous country family the con-
trast makes strong impression upon the child.
Naturally the people that are entertaining the
child ask questions in regard to the child's sur
roundlngs at home, and often these embarrass-
ing questions lead to remarkable stories.
A man who was at the head of committee
in the country which received = large party of
children came TO the city recently to investi-
gate several stories told by the children. He
was taken to the home Of one of the children,
and short visit was enough to convince him
that the child thoroughly deserving of the
Tribune Fresh Air Fund charity. This is writ
ten that the people who entertain Fresh Air chill
dren may be assured that there are few chill
dren sent to the country who do not need and
deserve the outing. and that any f1orid stories
of prosperity must be taken with big pinch of
salt
The regular fortnightly party for Pittstield,
Mass. left yesterday morning. Including the
1Oo children in yesterdays company the total
number of benefciaries at PittSfeld thus far
this season is slightly over three hundred The
Berkshire Fresh Air Fund provides entertain
ment for all the children sent 10 Pittsfeld. The
boys and girls are boarded among the farmers
in the Berkshire Hills.
Twelve girls and one boy started for Yates
n. Y. last night Medina is the nearest rail-
road station to Yates. and even at that the chill
dren have ten mile carriage ride. This is the
first time that the Tribune Fresh Air Fund chill
dren have been entertained in Yates. It is a
lovely country place near Lake Ontario and
well adapted to this kind of work.
