I'VE are swamped with donations from
people who want to help somebody" says
Miss Ida V, Jontz Of the Associated
Charities.
I'VE have received checks from people
in other states asking that money be used
TO help those who would receive little or
no Christmas cheer. Omaha people have
been more than generous. They have
teephoned this office for names of needy
families and have even co-operated with
us by going in search of those who
might have been overlooked
A prominent business man went out on
such a mission He found a family he
thought he could help. He telephoned the
Associated Charities and discovered the
family was listed for basket OF good
things Christmas day. Just forget IT,
said the business man. II will take care
of them" And he did not walt until
Christmas, but went forthwith to
grocery store and ordered generous bill
sent around at once. And I'll see that
they get more on Christmas day and
that the lSiddies have some presents too
he said
one man who has made much money In
business in the city, but does not make
a great display of charity, although he
is godfather to many children, sent the
charities a fat check. Il have heard
he wrote, that some of the old people
are about to be overlooked. Now IL you
need any more money just let me know
and you'll get it," But there were so
many men like him that his offer to
give more had to be refused, as enough

LAST WEEK OF THE MOON.

The moon adds much to the glory
of the scenery at Haleiwa and this
week will end the moons effulgence
for the month There is plenty Of
scenery and plenty of atmosphere
when the moon is not on duty, and
the public shares the joys that come
with these. The table at Haleiwa,
the service and the mosquito-proof
rooms are worth considering, and so
is the best beach in the islands.
Trains on the o. R. & L. railway go
direct to Haleiwa and the cost of a
round-trip ticket is not much. Trains
leave and return at convenient hours
for the business men, and they fire.

tunity to spend a few hours at this

BLIND POOL MAN

Canadian Court Convicts G. D. Shell
don, "Get Rich Quick" Exponent; :.
Gets Five Years.

Montreal, June 16.-"Guilty" was
the verdict rendered today in the case
of Chas. D. Sheldon, charged with ap-
propriating to his own use, funds
given him by various clients for in
vestment. A sentence of five years
in the penitentiary was imposed by
Judge Langelier. Sheldon first ap-
peared in Montreal in 1908 and adver-
tised in small way in some daily and
weekly papers. The game in which he
posed as a exponent was that is fami-
liary known in the world Of finance as
a blind pool"
He claimed to be on the inside OF
the stock market and that he could
manipulate stocks and securities In
such a manner as practically to guar
antee from 20 to 80 per cent a month
on his clients investment. HES de-
parture on Feb. II created consterna-
ton along his depositors, the larger
part of whom were widows and people
in Strengthened circumstances. On
March 81, he was arrested in Pitts
burg and shortly afterwards was
brought here to stand trial.
