THE OLD COUPLE.

Friends who have so generously, con-
tribuJed to the old couple who were
afraid of, losing their little home. on
which $125 was due, will be interested
In hearing how they are getting along.
The wife who. has been bed-ridden' for
thirty one years, is SO sweet and cheer
ful that she has put to shame many
of her visitors, who have SO many
blessings and yet complain.
Sunday two Sunshiners loaded down
went out to wish them merry Christ
mas. A big basket. held two chickens,
tomatoes, corn, celery. bread, apples,
Jelly, can of fruit, mince pie and a
number Of little delicacies for the. in
valid. Several gifts were, taken. and in
an envelope tucked away out Of sight in
the basket was 800 which interested
cnes have given Sunshine to make them
glad. They did not see the contents Of
the envelope until after Sunshiners had
left. ~ 81. :-77
The next day they sent letter ex-
pressing the most heartfelt thanks for
the good cheer Sunshine had brought
them. The dear old lady wrote: q You
had remembered us SO bountifully that
we thought the envelope contained a
little Christmas poem, and when we
found what was in it we could not say
anything at first. Then my husband
knelt beside my bed and we thanked
God for answering our prayers and
sending you to us. You can never know
what q load it has taken from our
shoulders, nor can we ever tell you
how deeply we appreciate it,
They cannot imagine how Sunshine
ever heard of them, for they know
nothing of the letter kind .neighbor

for she knew they themselves would
never think of asking aid.
Up. to Saturday Sunshine had expect

A quantity Of cylinders was found
Of such unusual thickness that experts
at once said they were intended to con
tain strong poison. Further Inquiries
proved; that bombs: Of this cylindrical
form are filed with, compressed air,

anteed to make the cylinder explode
with tremendous force. This is the rea-
son why one bomb will blow several
persons into fragments.
