THE BARNEY BUNCH"

have formed what they call THE
Barney Bunch" Tic object of the
little club is to bring as much sun
shine and happiness as possible into
the life OF Barney Butler, the young
hoy with the injureI spine.
Barney has to lie almost perfectly
rigid. with the uppgr part of his
body eneased in a pIaster-of-Paris
cast. and with. the legs (which a
short time ago were so strong and
active) stretched out straight and
useless. Barney is unusually patient
and sweet. and is getting better lit
tie by little, and The doctor hopes
that he may be able to do without
his uncomfortable iachat within five
or six months; but n the meantime
the hours are long aud waerisome.
The Barney BunCu write letters
and postal cards and carry magazines
and dainty things u eat to Barney:
and last Sunday they took him some
carnations in a blue Delft vase. There
were some flowers lett from the Odd
Fellows service in the Presbyterian
church. and Mrs. Wilbur Scott took
these to him also, and Miss Josephine
Olds took n lovely scarlet geranium
to lend its cheery glow to Barney's
room.
Barney would be so glad TO get
letters or postals from anyone inter
ested; and, IL there is anyone who
reads this who is interested in spread
ing a. little sunshine i'm the sick-room
of n boy who suffer- much and who
possesses the everlasting sweetness of
patience and brave endurance. this is
your chance.
