 JOHNNY McVAY
X. \. LeLauriM Starts It With $5 aud Petition Will Be Circu-
 lated.

Iii tC' owing letter flom A. A. I.e- Laurin, of this city, is worthy of con- sideration, and we are sure that it will meet with hearty response. Little Johnny McVay, who was riding the good old family horse, Gray Dan,' when it was killed by an auto on one of our popular thoroughfares, is the little son of Cullen McVay, well known in this city, and at pres ent unable to help his family on ac- count of legal complications, and the burden of helping his mother care for tte little ones at home falls heavily upon this little fellows shoul- ders. As stated by the Graphic be- fore delivering milk and butter in the morning and in delivering papers in the afternoon, thus helping to make a living for his mother and little sisters. Any friend of the boy. or the family, who feels disposed to help can send Or leave their donations with the Graphic office and due credit will be given through the columns of this paper A subscription list is being circulated, but it is hardly possible to see everyone who would Ike to con- tribute to this fund, hence this sug- gestion.
 Mir. LeLaurin's letter and the reply follows
 Fire Bluff, Ark, Sept 10, 1912 MT. z, Wells, City,
 Dear Sir:-I read your dedication to JoEnny McVay over "Old Gray Dan," and am in sympathy with the feeling. While l do not know the boy who daily was the companion of old Dan, yet I feel that he suffers the loss of his old horse in more ways than Che, and if some one would go around with a paper I think another horse could be furnished, or it's equiv elant. I'll give $o.00 towards it, and know of another good citizen who says Bring the paper to me-Pll give s5.0O. Now, Bro. Zach, is there not q way to push this matter?.
 Yours truly.
 A. A. LeLAURIN.
 Mrs Wells answer follows: MT. 4 A. LeLaurin,
 Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Dear Sir:-Replying to your letter tc me suggesting a popular subscrip- ton fund for purchasing horse to rep4ace the one killed by an auto on Olive street recently, will say that when l penned the few lines on the parJlug of little Johnnie and his good friend, Dan, I had no thought of start ing fund to replace the horse killed but am glad you have suggested the idea, or plan, and am sure that there will be no trouble in securing enough to buy the little fellow another horse 
 which in time he may become as chummy with as he was with his Gray Dan.'
 Acting On your suggestion a list will be circulated for this purpose and those who feel disposed to aid can do so, and any amount conlribut- ed, however small, will be thankfully received and turned over to Mrs. Me Way, mother of the boy, and the names of contributors will be pub lished in the Morning Graphic.
 This, l think, is worthy cause and the time opportune.
 Thanking you for the suggestion and appreciating your feeling in he matter, am, HA

Admission Sl.00.
Speaking of this musician the
London Globe says:
Mrs. Zeisler thoroughly APP
preciates legitimate pianoforte
effects. She treats the instru-
ment as if she loved il. not as
though it were her mission to
test its powers of resisting vio-
lence. She has firm. light
touch, a supple and even technl-
que, and a wide command of ex.
preston. She never forces the
tone, but obtains her effects by
building them up on a founda-
ton of uncommon refinement. +"
