RED CROSS SEALS ORIGINATION.
Jacob Riis Suggested Use of Novel
tuberculosis Stamp i'm America
After Receipt of Christ
mas Stamp From
Norway.

How did the Red Cross Christ
mas seal originator" is question
that is being asked by many during
this holiday season, when millions
of these stickers are being sold all
over the United States. To Jacob
Riis, the we'll known social worker
of New York, and to Miss Emily P.
Bissell, the energetic secretary of the
Delaware Red Cross society, jointly
belongs the honor of originating our
American Red cross Christmas seal.
In 1907 Mr.. Riis' interest was
aroused by the receipt of q Christ
mas tuberculosis stamp on a letter
from Norway. He published an ar
tiele about this queer looking stamp
iii the Outlook and suggested some
possible uses for IL In this country.
Miss Bissell at once saw an opportu-
nifty here and prepared a stamp,
from the sale of which her society
realized $4,000 for tuberculosis
work. So impressed was she with
this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 on a national basis.
With very little organization and
With hardly any attempt at careful
advertising, the sale that year
brought in over $4,000 for anti,
tuberculosis work IN various parts
of the United States. In 1909, with
more organization, the sale was in
creased to $23O,OOO and in 1910 to
nearly $4,000. Last year the sale
increased to $4,000, or 10000
seals.
While our own Red Cross sea
dates back only four years, charity
stamps" from which this idea orig.
inally sprang, go back to 1862, when
sanitary fair stamps" were first used
in Boston to raise money for the
care of soldiers wounded during the
civil war. Nearly $1,000,000 was

EUREk

Eureka, May THE Baptist Sunday
school picnic last Saturday was a no

| the occasion and induced a multitude
/ Of people to attend the festivities
/ These feasts have been so frequently
described in the past that it perplexes
! our intellect TO show wherein this par
JicularIy auspicious occasion differed
/ from any Of its predecessors. It was
not a question Of will there be enough
edibIes to satisfy the throng," but a
determined effort on the part Of Eure-
kans to be sure of having a super
abundance Of dainty viands that must
please and satisfy epieureans who are
afflicted with fastidious tastes.

Of appreciation.
As We viewed the moving mass Of
gaily attired humanity from our Sc
questered seat in the beautiful chap
arral that cast its friendly shade Ger
the picturesque panorama and witness
expressed sheer JOY Of the occa ion,
a vivid and impressive thought fitted
through our mind that this glorious
scene was simply a transient express
sion OF what the Omniscient Creator
had intended this whoIe world should
be a model Of beauty, peace and con
tentmenL What intense rapture was
depicted in every act and move Of the
fortunate participants; what sacrifice
each would make for another on any
trivial occasion that competed a ike
service from others. II was the very
essence Of that divine decree which
bids Us do unto others as ye would
have then do unto you" with not
word nor an act to mar the sublime
serenity And this TOO from the small
