Revised Version of Old Story Leaves
WeIshman the Winner Over Ad-
mittedly Carny Scotsman.

Admittedly, this may be an old
story, but il has the distinction OF
possessing q new twist at the end:
A person died. He willed all his
earthly possessions to be divided
among an Englishmau, an Irishman
and Il Scotsman. But the will was
conditional; each of the legatees was
to place five pounds in the testator's
coffin. On the day appointed (by Fate)
the Englishman placed a tive-pound
note as willed the freshman collected
q number Of coins somehow-ShiilingS,
siXpenxeS and cOpperS-and made up
his contribution Of five pounds, which
he placed on the Englishman's flyer.
The Scotsman then made ont check
for Is pounds and, pocketing the 10
pounds already deposited, threw jim his
check, with the remark, "Th9t'S east
err"
a month later, when the Scotsman
perused his pass book he was surprised
to find that his check had been dashed.
The undertaken was Il Welshman.-

INDIANS USE OF FEATHERS

for All Tribes, Being Considered
~Tantamount 70 a Prayer.

Feathers have an intense religious
significance for IndiPns, and are val

ensure a favorable reply.
When an Indian desires something
urgently he will tie a feather to IA
stick and conceal it in a shrine which
he himself has constructed. This Is
considered extremely elicacious.
Small, fluffy feathers dangling from
the ceilings OF huts by strings are
common sights. They represent pray.
ers for trifles. Indians are always
careful to keep Il stock Of prayers or
feathers on hand, so that they will
not be caught empty handed when an
occasion for prayer arises. !

Just as the foregoing list was COM
pleted, word was received that still
another daddy" name not yet re-
cost of the fares for the party to
Thonsaston, Conn That reduces the
list by another one.
viii Also Send T'ares
A rumor has reached the Fund Office,
it is unverified as yet, that the lovers
of children in Walton have started a
movement to raise the fares ifor the
children invited to visit their homes.
Think of it, this is the third Of the
communities whose parties were in
danger of cancellation that has decided
not only to entertain the children but
to pay their fares as we'll, if neces-
sary. You won't dispute that they are
properly called "lovers of children" "
will you?
You might add to this evidence a
paragraph from letter received with
q contribution yesterday. The writer
says his letter is not for publication,
but the Fund can agree only to with
hold his name. What he says is too
much to the point to be kept back.
Here it is:
yesterday I happened to go UP 20
Jamestown, N. Y, on the same train on
which YOU sent two carloads of chill
dren up to the country, and it surely
was a wonderful sight TO see the way
they were greeted at all stops where
they were Yet down. The way the farm
children ran into the yards, took these
kids by the hands and led them off,
was the greatest boost believe your
organization could get. This i'm
pressed me so that l am sending the
enclosed check"
t See for Yourselves
Seeing is believing. If the Fund
could take one hundred of New York s
rich out to the country and show them
what Fresh Air vacations do for the
children of the tenements, it would
get money enough in a few hours to
pay a whole summers expenses. The
trouble is that the truth of the mat
ter doesn't get across to the folks who
might help as vivid reality.
But everybody who sees. believes
and helps.
SIere's one more Of the seeing, be-
lieving, helping sort:
"When walking this morning along
one of the roads of these beautiful
Highlands of the Hudson, l came
across a neatly dressed, bright-faced
boy of nine years, dragging along q
little cart filed with sticks up the hill
and looking the picture of happiness.
II asked him to direct me TO GER
tain house. His reply was: I don't
know the places around here yet,
have only been here four days, Pm a
Fresh Air boy
care you having a good time?' |
asked.
"His reply was, Tmmense!' And he
added that he was to be here two
weeks or maybe longer.
"As l looked at his pale face and
emaciated appearance, felt sure that
a fortnight Of this delicious air and
