REALLY GOOD FELLOWS?
'Citizen' Writes Concerning Christ
mas Charity Work in ToDeka
This Year.
Topeka, Dec. Fl. 1915.

Topeka, Dec. Fl. 1915.
Dear State Journal: What would you
think of a man who would go around
to a number of clerks in office
where he worked and ask each one for
a dollar or whatever amount they
would give; that he was acquainted
with a family in poor circumstances
who would probably have little or no
Christmas; that he wanted to get them
some things. After receiving what
ever he could get, he would spend
same on this family in a manner to
suit himself and take personal credit.
That is the situation with the, Good
Fellows you read about in the morn
ing paper. The idea seems to be to
get you to donate and then the Capt.
tai, under guise of Good Fellows, can
hand it out wherever it may possibly
do the morning sheet some good, as
well as the ones really needing help.
Why don't the "a Capital, like the
state Journal, aid the Confidential Elk
change, where the charitable institu-
lions are united, instead of trying to
popularize itself through cheap sob"
advertising under the veil of charity.

.DEARTH OF TOYS
Boys Are Being Overlooked by
the Generously Inclined.
Plenty of Dolls but Not Enough
Other Things. ~

Dollies have been volunteered by
the score. All kinds. of. them--blue-
eyed. brown-eyed, large ones and
small ones. Persons have promised
Miss Mabel Adams, secretary of the
Confidential exchange, dolls of every
variety. But somehow the boys seem
to have been overlooked Few. toys
that would interest youngsters be-
tween the ages of 6 and 15 have been
offered. And now Miss Adams is anx-
ious to secure playthings for the host
of youngsters who are waiting for
Santa Claus with just as much anxiety
as their sisters
Excepting p1aythings suitable for
boys, offers of help continue to pour
into the office of the exchange and
every indication now points to Christ
mas visits to the home of every needy
family in the city. Not only have
hundreds of Topekans, but offers. to
supply clothing, furniture, dishes
anything that will bring relief-have
been received.
Nor have the offers been limited to
the city. Tuesday afternoon another
huge out-of-town box was received at
the exchange office. The chest, which
was sent by members of the Congre-
gationaI church of Maple Hill, con-.
tanned a wide variety of gifts that will
be enthusiastically welcomed.
That active youngsters who have pc
titiOned Santa Claus for steam engines
and checker boards and candy and
nuts and fruits and the other little
things that are tangible evidence of
Christmas spirit will not be overlooked
is the confident opinion of Miss
Adams
''As soon as the need for toys be-
comes known responses undoubtedly
will come in as fast as we can care for
them'' Miss Adams declared this
morning. 1T is due to the remark
able cooperation that we have had
from all sources that we are able to
cover the city as thoroughly as it will
be covered this Christmas
If persons infected with the spirit
of Christmas feel that relief can be
obtained only by coming to the rescue
of one of the overlooked youngsters
and are looking for a boy who has
asked Santa Claus for an engine or
some other plaything, they have only
to call sos.

out all the sour lamentations, gases,
