DIR. KINNEY WRITES
HIS LITTLE BOY
1t Was Sent From France in Honor
of His Third Birthday


The following letter has been re-
ceived by Master Robert Kinney Of
Greensboro, from his father, DR. Al
bert Kinney, who is a lieutenant in
the Medical Corps of the British
Army. The letter was written for the
little boys third birthday and is so
written as to be entirely intelligible
to the little boy:
LIE Chateau,
Ghissignies, France,
Nov. 10Th, 1913
Ny dear little Robbie:
I suppose you are quite a big boy
now, and three years old today! And
the best part of it is, every one writes
me that you are a good boy; which
I am very glad to hear, for if you are
a good boy you will help mother a
great deal, and every one will like
you. Am very sorry | can't send you
birthday present, but the poor peo7
pie who keep the stores in the vii
lagos here haven't anything to sell in
their stores any more, for the
naughty Germans stole everything
they had and sent it to Germany And
the poor little children haven't had
any candy or ice cream or cookies for
four years. But l don't think they
would have minded that so much if
! they had had enough oatmeal and
bread and butter and meat But the
naughty Germans didn't even give
them that, and daddy had to doctor
some Of them because they hadn't had
anything but cabbage and potato soup
! tc-' eat for months and months and
were just so poor and white that you
could almost look right through them.
And when daddy saw them he went
right to the Quartermaster-he is
the man that keeps things for the
! soldiers to eat-and daddy said, 81
want lots Of bread and condensed
milk and beef extract and lots of
things for these poor starving kid
dies" And the Quarte1master never
said a word, but just put a lot of
things to eat into a bag and sent his
boy around to all these hungry little
children with it and he didn't want
a cent for it. And the next day when
daddy went around all the little chill
dren ran out and clapped their hands
and shouted, ooh, Monsieur lie med
icine, Monsieur le medicine!" Wasn't
that funny thing to say? and daddy
gave the ones who weren't sick most
of the candy mother sent him. But
! think it did him a great deal more
good to see them eat it than it would
to have eaten it himself. And a little
baby q year old hadn't had anything
to eat for a long time but coffee. AnC
!. you know coffee isn't good for babies
So Tommy, (do you knw what F.;
, Tmmy is? Well, mother will tell YOU
:. saw that the baby was very hungr,
, and gave it the condensed milk ratio1
Tor a whole squad of men almos
clear, and Of course it made the bah,
SICK and daddy had to give it one O
those little pills that you like so well
Aren't you glad you are a little Am
er1can boy with plenty of warn

was delivered at the home of Lieut..
Robert Martin, 232 Arnold street, re-
Gently, announcing his death in action
in France, the telegram was received
by Lieut.. Martin himself.
Lieut.. Martin as a drafted man
went to Camp Devens, then to an
officers training camp in Virginia,
and received his commission just be
fore the ar1nistice was signed, so he
didn't go to France. How the War
Department made the mistake has
not been explained.

Little Things Cause Sunshine.

The sunshine of life is made mp OF
Very little beams that are bright all
the time. To give up something, when
giving up will prevent unhappiness !;
to yield, when persisting will chafe and
fret others; to go little around rath-
er than come against another; to take
an ill look or Il cross word quietly,
rather than resent or return it-these
are the ways in which clouds and
storms are kept off, and Il pleasant
and steady sunshine secured.-Aikin.

1t was some surprise to have the
war end so soon. l am now looking
forward to a quick return I stand a
good chance to start soon as the pa
pers over here said that all men in
hospitals and convalescents that
could be moved would be some of
the first sent home. But it may be
month or more before they start
sending them back. / would rather
have them send me back to my COM
pany and come back when they do
1t is now about three weeks since
left my outfit. / wasn't very sick
and only slightly gassed which made
my throat sore, and | was so hoarse
that couldn't talk, and alsC
coughed a good deal. But I am now
as well as I ever was
Hoping that I will see you soon.
