Why They Can Shell If.

Before l went to Europe" said the school teacher, it was one of the mysteries of my profession how every British child enrolled in our schools came to be authority on the spelling of chilblains. Teachers might hesi- tate over one 'l'' or two, the children never. They might make photographic mess of the simplest one syllable word, but the tiniest tot from the British isles went to the head of the class on chilblains every time. One wintry month in those same islands told me why. It is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores, in clothing stores, in shops of all kinds cures and preventives of chilblains are uni versally advertised. Owing to the exigencies of the climate there is a regular chilblains literature present. ed for those children's absorption, so no wonder they know how to spell their universal aftliction."

MAKES APPEAL FOR
 BAPTIST ORPiANACE
" r, nORRIS FINANCIAL SECRE- TARY, TELLS OF THE NEEDS
 OF MONTICELLO HOME.
Burden Is Heavy But Orphnas Are Receiving Many Benefits From
 The Work There.

By the courtesy of the editor I de- sire to make few statements rela-
 tive to the Monticello Baptist Or
 phans' Home, an institution fostered
 by the Baptist State Convention, of Arkansas.
 It was founded ill 1895 by Miss Hannah Hyatt, who donated the old homestead, with 80 acres of land to the convention to be used as a nome for the homeless children left on the charities of the world.
 to it's present proportions. We NOW
 have 149 children under our care, and there are being educated and trained in mind and morals, as we'll
 as being fed and clothed. To the original tract donated by Miss Hyatt
 (now Mrs. Gardner) there has been added other lands until now we have 320 acres whose conservative value is placed at $16,000. Our buildings, the home and necessary buildings for stock, etc., are worth perhaps $20,000. Our stock of cattle mules, horses and hogs are worth about $2,100, while the implements for the farm and fur
 nishings of the home are valued at $2,400, making our total assets $43,- 900.
 It is the purpose of our Superin- tendent, J. N. Williams, to make the home sustain itself as far as possi- ble, but there are so many little ones that cannot work, that we are ill con- stant need of funds to supplement what those who are larger are pro- ducing on the farm. It will cost about $1,000 month to meet the run- ming expenses of this large family of 149, two-thirds of whom, perhaps, are producers We are dependent on the Baptist of the State and on other friends to open their hearts and pur- ses to help us keep things going. We have good teachers, who carry on school 9 months in the year, teach ing one half the day, and then those who are large enough to work, using the remainder of the day in farm du- ties, thus having the children indus triously as well as mentally and mor- ally
 This institution is not only bless ing to the Baptists of the State, but 1t is rescue station where home less little ones are taken, and train ed for citizenship, who would other wise go to the bad, and become not only menace to society, but crim- inal burden upon the state While it is fostered by the Baptists, yet we receive every child that is left home- less who knocks at our doors, wheth- CT of Baptist percentage or of other religions or no religion. They are our neighbors, and we are to be the good Samaritans to them.
 I therefore make an appeal to ev- cry humane man and woman of what ever name or creed-yes to those who nave no church connections at all, for money to help care for and train these homeless children for the home, the tate, and the nation. The needs of these helpless orphans should ap- peal to every patriotic citizen, and move him to help in this good cause. Ii this appeals to you, and you are disposed to assist us in any amount, large or small it will be thankfully received, and judiciously applied. Send money to w. F.
