CR|TTENTOA HOME
 MATTERS DISCUSSED
The Starting of Surrey Fund-lib- eral Contributions During
 January.

Most people WHO nave flNcu ln Phoenix for a couple of years or more will remember the old swaybackcd surrey checked by the sun and creak- ing from age. that Miss Ellen Broad book Cole in other days coaXed ! through the streets of Phoenix, with the aid of the old family horse of the Crittcnton Home. on her almost per petual missions of mercy. The har- ness. too. was once in pretty fair state of preservation. at least Capa ble of being mended and with ordi- nary carcfulness the rig could be held together to serve it's immediate pur- poses. But there came time when l the iron fittings of the old carryall ] could he welded no more. the paint | refused to adhere to the wood work and the patches on the time worn | harness would no longer hold together The Crttcnton Home horse automo- bile went to the scrap heap.
 That was not so very long ago and l when the news of the disaster came
 to the ears of the Pratt Gilbert Co. that well disposed mercantile firm l rendered the use of a much newer out ! fit. in fact. very adequate and de- sirable surrey and harness to Miss ! King. the present matron of the Home l, That is all very we'll for the time be- | ing. but Miss King reasons quite nat
 urally that the time will come when the owners of the property will want | it back: also that the Pratt Gilbert Go. keeps carriages to sell and not to give away. so she has an earnest de- i sire to have this rig bought for the 1 Crittenton Home and to that end she | tenders an invitation to all liberal ! minded people to chip in whatever
 they fell like to the horse and buggy" | fund. She has not even inquired yet 1 how much will be required as she | hasn't enough money in the fund to | give her the necessary courage hut | she knows it will take more money 1 than the Home now has SD there is
 no use in being in a hurry about the
 price.
 Miss King also takes this oppor- 1 tunity for thanking the friends of the
 Home for their very liberal support during the month of January: that is
 for their contributions of one kind or | another She desires first to speak Of the Phoenix Bakerv and the Phoe-
