forgotten 10 pay the so. he stopped
and handed in the subscription. He
was informed that enough money had
not been collected for the mules.

and Catholic alike and raised $3.50
for the mule fund.
"Who could refuse such a charity"
said the big-hoartcd man yesterday.
There are sixty orphan boys in
charge Of those good women. and they
