But, althougf it is a true one, it has a pleasant ending, somewhat like the fiction of the day. The hard-luck part of the incident comes in the beginning, when the father of a Washington family—a family containing a troup of ten children—lost his job. He was out of work for several weeks, partly through illness, Through unusual thrift, the family had saved a small sum of money from the weekly ‘sal- ary envelope, but this was eaten up within a short time. None of the children was able to contribute much toward the family budget. The eldest, a girl, was about sixteen years old. Came a day when the household suffered real want, There was noth- ing to eat, no fuel for the stove, sick- ness and no medicine. A large part of the father's illness came through Wworry over his wife and youngsters. Taras to Salvation Army. One of the girls of the hard-luck family conceived the idea of calling upon the lassies of the Salvation Army—the ministering angels of the poor. 'This, she did. Within one hour relief workers from the charita- ble organization were at the door of the hard-luck family. ~They asked only a few questions: then they left again. They had found the family in absolute destitution. e Salvation Army likes to meet emergenci A blue-clad man and two blue-clad Jassles returned to the home of the bard-luck family. They carried bas- kets, and they made themselves at home in the house.

This story is not a bit of fiction: it actually happened, and it is only ohe of the hundreds of such stories from the files of the Salvation Army. The workers-in-blue are called upon every day for ald, and they are busy both night and day. They feed the hungry, find_lodging for the homeless, provide work for the unemployed, care for the sick and supply fuel and clothing for the very poor. Besides all this, a fresh- air camp is maintained in Maryland for the poor children of (he Diatrict and an industrial home is conduc where aged men may have employment. It is by such work that the Salva tion Army has gained its wonde reputation as a charitable organi tion.
