BRAVE WIFE AND MOTHER
ASKS EVENING STAR FOR AID
Willing to Work at Anything to
Keep Loved Ones with
Her.

With husband sick in bed, suffer-
ing from tuberculosis, four little chill
dren hungry, scantily clad and shoe

the family has lled out suffering ex-
istence this winter, Mrs. Peter Mat
thewsN. of 251 New street, has appealed
to the EVENING STAR for help.
The Matthewses live in the rear of
the house at the above address. The
husband was a tar-roofer until he was
stricken in bed three months ago. The
faithful wife has tried to hide the real
trouble OF her husbend from him and
he does not know that consumption has
! fastened its fangs upon him. He is at
present in a serious condition. Then
there are two little twins, 8 months
old. and two more little ones, and 8.
The wife has kept the home intact
since her husband was taken down by
going out scrubbing and washing.
She spent every cent she made on
the children and to buy medicines for
her husband. Every day for the last
two weeks she has gone from house to
house trying to get work sufficient to
buy food and fuel for the home. But,
she said, nobody wanted her. Then
came the dispossess notice from her
landlord, Mrs Eliza Kull who occupies
the front of No. 351 New street. The
woman in her appeal said she was
willing to work her hands to the bone
and pay every cent OF the rent if Mrs.
Kull would only wait IA little longer
Today there is not a crust of bread in
the house, no fire, and four hungry,
cold little ones and sick husband
who awaits the return of the man
of the house, perchance, with food and
wood
Mrs Matthews is willing to do any
thing. Her greatest concern at present
is to satisfy her landlord. She
