A MAN WORTH
HELPING.
eeseeee0eee eeeeeeeeeeseee;

The true story of Mike Halloran.
optimist, is worth reading and con-
sidering. He had lost his sight in a
factory where Paris green got into
his eyes. That was fourteen years
ago. says a writer in the Worlds
Work, and ever since he had support
ed himself by carting ashes. He was
not a contractor, but day-laborer
and no one helped him in his sightless
task except a small lad, who led the
horse A reporter who had learned
these surprising facts questioned
Mike further.
They calls me Happy Mike Hal
1oran, OWN to me mindin' me own
affairs an keepin' acheery look to the
world" he went on, with a bit of
sigh; but feels it pretty sober in
side O. me whin 1 be lookin' the
gayest.''
How much work can you do in
day, Halloran. as compared with a
man who can see?' -
las much as amy O. them an
more'n nanny, sor. I can handle six
to tin loads a day, accosiin' to the
ZENITH O. the trip. I'll be afther

to git a free permit on account O. not

that gives EN- a chance to bid under
us as has to pay; an whin l git that,
I'll be able to meet the best O. thin.
providin' I can git me horse agin."
But thought you said you had a
horse"
Il did till two months back. sor,
whin he took sick o. the CHAMBERS and
died on me. Thin I spint livery last
clint O. me money on a haste that was
ricomminded to me as bein' sound,
savin' he was bit spawned. an be-

says he. Take the boy, Mag. He's
sveet-faced little woman, who had
been grooming a lullaby to a bundle
of lesser babyhood as the two men
talked
Halloran rose from his chair by the
stove, which was cold and comfort
less, and stretching himself to his
height CT six feet two, displayed a
figure that would have done credit
to disciple of Vulcan. He was with
cut coat or vest, and was in his stock
ing feet.
How have you managed since the
horse was taken? Can you get out
OF it whole when you have to hire?"
asked the reporter.
Its barely whole git out of il.

haste an feed him at noon, an whin
the end O. the week comes there's
scarce q dollar left for the rest O. US.
But I used to have TO hire one two
or three times a week, or me ashes
would pile up on me, an the superin-
tindints would let out me job on me.

along. as have tin or twilve dollars

Such a man was not long without
a horse to cart his ashes. The re-
porter used his head as we'll as his
heart. and Halloran soon was POS
sessed OF the nag, the coveted permit,
and the right again to work for his
living.
