"Rube" Bressler. the young south

There is q reason. Yesterday he

Group of Neighbors Contribute.
Men Have Repairs Made.
Grocer Hauls the Goods.

How little group of neighbors fur
nished a wagonload of supplies to the
Belgian relief headquarters was tolu
today by Mrs. John A. Logan, chairmal
of the committee, as an inspiration to
others
Mrs. G. A. Lyon had the idea. She
phoned to number of her friends, ask
ing them to ransack their closets TO.
garments that they could spare Ior the
needy In Belgium and to bring them to
her nome This resulted in the receipt
and assortment of the following artl-
cles: Underwear, 6S; mems clothing %
Women's coats. 10; boys clothing, "a
girls dresses. IL; women's suits, .;
pairs of shoes, 40; mems hats, s; WON
ems clothing, %.
1t was found that some of the shoes
required little cobbling to put them
in serviceable shape. The man folks OF
this little neignborhood group passed
the hat and got enough nickels and
dimes to pay cobbler for repairing as
many OF the shoes as necessary
Then the corner grocer was called in
to do his share by corting the collec-
ton to the relief headquarters. Mrs
Logan gave these names of some of the
women who thus did a big work of
charity while merely clearing out then
own closets: Miss Madaline Brennan,

IT had to escape on foot from our
chateau on the banks Of the Mouse,
which was bombarded by the enemy.
After terrible journey we have found
a refuge in England. where we await
the end of this terrible war.
I've were Joined here by Mr.. X, who
arrived by one of the last boats to
leave Ostend. Twenty thousand per-
sons fleeing from the Prussians were
crushed together, trying to board the
last boats. Panics and frightful rushes
took place. He saw children crushed,
women killed and men falling into the
water.
THE Belgians have shown wonderful
valor and courage. but the whole of
Belgium Is in ruins; not corner has
escaped; there is not family which is
not in mourning and in tears.
