THE STATE
APPEAL FOR MERRY SUNSHINE"

APPEAL FOR "MEHRf SONohANH
From the office of the state Board OF
Charities and Probation at Montpelier
comes the following appeal FOR Merry
sunshine" which tells its own story; III
you had never known mothers tender
care, a mother to tuck you in at night
and to do all the tender things that only
n mother can; IL you had never known
a fathers strong devotional father, who
would work and suffer II need be, that
his little child might be sheltered; II
you had never been surrounded by the
great love that is due every child. and
instead had been knocked about, here,
there and everywhere If you had never
known the activity Of n growing child,
and instead had lived all your waking
hours and most Of your sleeping ones
tied into high chair. where your rect
just danged in the air and your body be-
came twisted to conform to the chair; II
you had no nurse to dress you carefully.
and instead had your tender flesh caught
through with a large safety pin: could
you still smile and smile? Could you fold
your hands and say God bless Mary? II
you could, you would be able to demon
strate the heroic patience and the sub
lime faith Of this little three-year-old
child, who has Justly been given the
name Of Merry Sunshine by all connected
with the hospital where she now is.
Five months ago this case was report
ed to the State Board Of Charities. and
the little child was placed in the hospital
for care. and II possible, to make her
whole. X-rays were taken. She was ex-
amined by an eminent surgeon and the
verdict was that the child's body could
never be made straight. At first 1t was
thought that she could never walk. When
In her cot she was bound to a curved
board in order that her heels and head
would be lower than her body. this being
done In an effort to straighten the back.
Even In this position she looks up
cheerfully. with Good night, nurse To-
day the child is walking and the hospital
care IL not necessary.
while in the hospital the expense was
paid from the State Board of Charities
! governors fund a fund started three
years ago, made up by contributions from
many kindly and interested people. She
is still cripple and will never be a
normal child physically. She must have
I good care-care that will see that she Is
properly nourished and has proper ex-
| ercise. There Is no financial provision
made by the State for children like Mary,
and the State Board Of Charities has a
grave problem as to the disposition OF
this child.
| Feeling that many would like to as
sst in giving this little girl a chance, the
board has decided to accept contributions
for a fund for her care; and hopes that
people will contribute, If only little, &c

Harry Sparrow, business manager
of the New York and Chicago base
ball clubs on their tour of the world,
a few years ago. received an invitation
for his party to attend public fete
at Creighton, England, at which the
King and Queen were present. For
the amusement of the crowd and to
their own profit a number of divers
were diving off the end of the pier af-
ter coins tossed into water by the
spectators. The usual coin was a six
pence or a shilling. One of the Am
orleans in a burst of generosity fin
ally ran out of shillings English
money meant little to him, so he fin
gered in his vest pocket and found a
sovereign. He was about to toss this
when one of the dripping divers
climbed out at his feet and caught
sight of the gold coin.
