Heart to Heart
I alks.
our OF THEIR POVERTY.
BY EDWIN a. NYE.
Copyright, 1909. by American Press
Association.

The devastation and death, the hid
eous ruins, the awful day of doom that
came TO Sicily and southern Italy, are
not without their uses The law of
compensation holds even here
The sad affection has served to open
the hearts of men and women to give
of their substance
The gift of congress was large. Pri-
yate philanthropy has done much.
But those who have given out Of their
poverty have given most
One of the most remarkable of all
the donations of the poor occurred the
other day in New York city when a
procession of wagons, headed by a
band, went through the Italian quar-
ters of the east side.
Ten express wagons started on the
route at 8 O'Clock, and an hour later
1t was necessary to send the wagons
back for unloading.
With the first strains of the band
playing the Italian national airs tene-
ment windows briStled with people. A
few moments later down from the
windows futtered shawls. skirts, trou-
sers. vests. coats, underwear and
handkerchiefs.
In the shower also came money!
surprising lot of money considering
how little the givers had. Pennies,
nickels dimes, quarters, half dollars,
hurriedly wrapped in paper, struck the
pavement, with now and then a bill.
When the tour was completed the
money alone totaled nearly $1,000.
The clothing filed the express wag-
ons many times over. A trembling old
man brought a pair of trousers thrice
patched Men and women wept as
they gave, literally tearing clothes
from their bodies.
Nor was the giving confined to the
Italians.
Chinaman came out of his laundry
with half dollar and said, "Afe help
too"
An aged Jewess took a shawl from
her shoulders - probably her dearest
possession-and gave it, with tears in
her eyes
As the newspaper reporters watched
the spectacle and witnessed the eager
desire and abandon Of these poor peo-
pie to help the suffering they realized
that touch of nature that makes the
whole world kin
Remember the story of the widows
mite?"
So Of these very poor.
Congress gave largely. Philanthro-
pists gave generously. But of their
poverty the poor gave more than all
