The above Society was organized in
1896 for the care and training of the
orphan and homeless children of West
Virginia.
Shortly after organization Hon. H.
G. Davis, the great friend of West
Virginia orphans, gave the Society a
home for the unfortunate little ones,
which is located in Charleston, w. Va,
supplementing this generous gift by
the yet more helpful donation of 500
per month since 1896. To this fir
building Mr.. Davis has added two
story building, thus greatly increasing
our capacity for caring for orphan
children.
Into this home we receive the home
less children, being Admitted at the
rate of 6, s, and sometimes 10 per
month.
We are anxious to find them all, and
appeal to all our people everywhere
in West Virginia to report to the Su-
perintendent any case of homeless
child. They are received from twelve
months old up to twelve years old.
We earnestly request this great aid
at all times in finding the Homeless
child. Remember this request.

A LIVING OR A LIFE.
By EDWIN A. NYE
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin a. Nye.

Make n living" said the late Gov
ernor Russell of Massachusetts in an
address to young men. but remember
there is one thing better than making a
living. and that is making llfe.'
What is the difference between max
ing living and making life?
1t is the difference between material
and ideal. between selGshness and al
| truism.
For Instance:
The philosophy OF Goethe and Scho-
penhauer. which is the philosophy Of
many successful men" OF today, In
this: Look only on the serene and
bright. DO not concern yourself with
suffering. Let the miserable ones
alone. BE cheerfully blind to the mis-
fortunes Of others. The more you do
for others the less you can do for your
self. Use others. BE careful they do
not use you. Cultivate yourself.
In other words. this philosophy says
Get there"
But there Is another philosophy
which says: Be mindful OF others
misery. Help your neIghbor. Make
good principles into Hesh-CHARAC-
| TER. Open your mind and heart to
truth and beauty and love. and put as
much OF generous and outgoing sym.
pathies and interests" in your life as
you can.
That's making life.
In the nervous tension OF modern
existence men are 30 absorbed In the
task OF making n living that many for
get the higher part OF themselves.
They have no time for real living.
Nowadays men are trying to make
living after they are millionaires. They
stunt their best faculties and rob
themselves Of the Joy OF normal living.
They become one sided. half developed
individuals.
Like the Spnniards. they say "Mann-
na." They Will be happy tomorrow
or next year. And they sink into the
grave still trying to make a living.
What grnnder thing in all conception
than to make life--to feel and know
every day that one Is growing WIDER
deeper, higher in mental and moral
power2
Anybody can make a living.
Too few Of us are trying to make Q
