Lend a Helping Hand.


The Herald ahd News takes pleas
ure in publishing the following ap-
peal. and feels sure that some of our
readers will be glad OF an opportunity
to make November 80 a real Thanks
giving for this unfortunate young
man:
10 whom it may concern:
am so We'll known as 1.-The shut
in writer ard author that l feel
formal introduction to the readers OF
this paper is not necessary; but
short sketch CT my life and work Will
not be out OF place, in view of what
is to follow.
am shut-in, in ny thirtietl year.
| am not able TO do manual labor OF
any kind. | am se.f-eiucated, and
for nearly twenty years l have read,
studied and written. l have toiled
so constantly with the zen that while
| have learned the trick of writing
1or pay at last, l now suffer with
writer's cramp AID can no longer
turn out copy neat enough to impress
editors favorably l shall, therefore,
have to get a type writer.
The people everywhere have been
wonderfully kind to me. Often when
my poverty pinched most and my
needs were urgent in the extreme.
a contribution from an unknown ad-
mirer has come as helping hand to
lift NE from the depths of despair.
And in the darkest hours of my liz
l never forget the fact that were my
cause laid before the world, the peo-
pie would see to it that happiness
in some measure should be mine.
But as much as l could l shrank
from publicity. Not as beggar did
l wish to make myself known; rather
would l give in return the best that
I have to give for value received, than
to say to the public, Here l am,
help me up"
Therefore l have struggled on all
these weary, heart-breaking years to
learn to write for pay, and have al
most reached the goal of my hearts
desire. Never again shall the bur-
de2s and responsibilities of my Grip
pied life seem greater than / can
bear.
Encouraged by The State and sew
eral other good papers which have
published my story and appeal for
contributions with which to buy a
typewriter for me, a movement has
started which bids fair to succeed
to raise enough to buy the writing ma
chine.
Now l cannot succeed as a writer
without a good typewriter-even II
did not have the writer's cramp. So
I kindly ask every reader of this
paper to help me get one by contrr
buting to my typewriter fund. You
may send money in any way most con-
venient to you and 1 will promptly
acknowledge every contribution.
Mr.. Editor, cannot you be kind en-
ough to print this in your paper fo'
me? My need is urgent; my appeal in
honest. My earnings up to this time
have scarcely enabled me to live. If
there had been a surplus l should
have had the typewriter long ago.
You are performing real service IL
priting this appeal, for if I don't get
the typewriter soon, cannot do at
once what my urgent needs require.
