| think that some poor little boy, just |
like my Johnny might have been, is
hungry and crying TO his mamma or
father for food. feel as though It's |
my Christian duty TO see that these
home boys and girls OF ours are fed.
and l am going to do the best / can.
Maybe / cannot raise the other three
dollars, but here is the first three any,
way. If the Lord gives me health. l
will send you the other three dollars
as soon as can earn it."
This widows mite was today placed
with the contributions OF others who
have resolved that the cries for help
from the needy Of this city, shall not
go unanswered. The appeal is strong
boys and girls and babies who are the
sufferers. The fathers and mothers
may make out somehow, but when
their offspring cry for food. the appeal
is one that breaks down every barrier
of reserve.
Milk Driver Helps.
Milk dealers report that they are be-
ing called upon to furnish the life Civ
ing fluid to many families who have no
money to pay for the milk, but plead,
for IL for the sake Of their babies. The
driver of one concern who serves milk,
has given up many a dollar already
this winter, TO make good shortages of
accounts, where his heart has been
bigger than his wages will permit him
to be, but he says he is happy because
he realizes he has helped "some other
fellows baby" where the father Is out
of work. 1t was learned today, that
this man has gone without the few
trihing luxuriess that he indulged I'm
as the only means Of recreation IN his
work-a-day life, in order that he might
help some needy mother.
",rhis will be the poorest Christmas
for me in a money way" this milk
wagon driver confided IN a chum,"
that / have ever had. But who cares
l know when a baby's hungry, for /
have one Of my own, and can't stand
! TO hear them plead for something to
eat with that pitiful moan that means
they haven't had full meal In good
ness knows when. I'll get my Old
kriss this year out of knowing that
I've helped some other fellow who Is
out Of a job, and that my own child
and wife have had enough to eat"
