™ Cheer is Found in Little Three- {3 Landlord Helps Out. ~ CHARITIES HELPING POOR [ SICK WOMAN LIVES | * ONLY FOR CHILDREN Room Cottage, Where Even By A. R. GROH. * With Mrs. George W. Doane of the Associated Charities I went yes- terday to deliver some supplies to a poor family. Before we had knocked at the di- lapidated three-room cottage, the door was opened and we were wel- comed by an 8-year-old boy and a 13- year-old girl, poorly dressed but won- derfully bright and charming. We entered with our bundles and baskets, Seated in the front room in a rock- ing chair was the widowed mother of the two, very sick with consumption |mas fund should be made payable | "“(“l'_.

Such charming and pretty children among the brightest in their classes. The little girl didn’t tarry long, but went out in the little dark kitchen, where we heard her washing dishes. She came in to get the basket of canned goods. The boy went out in the bedroom and soon appeared in an old pair of trousers held up by suspenders, Lad Chops Wood. “I'm going to chop wood,” he an- nounced. “Yes, he chops all our wood,” said his mother, looking at him, proudly. “People are good to us,” she con- tinued. “A man comes up and burns lutphur in the house every few days, while 1 go next door.

You are an ornament to your class and you shall have your reward. 4 “I went to Sunday school, but Pearl didn’t; she had to do her house- work, and we're going to have an en- tertainment Christmas,” said the boy. Then he went ont to chop wood, while his sister washed her dishes. Mrs. Doane sat beside the sick woman, who held her hand and sobbed a moment. Then she bright- ened up. “Oh, I love you,” she said. “You are so good to me.” . Thank the People. “You mustn't thank me, dear, but the people who give me these things to bring to you,” said Mrs. Doane. The sight of that brave, sick woman, cheerful in the midst of mis- fortunes almost unendurable, living only for her children will not soon fade from my memory. 4 “And this is only one of many de- serving cases,” said Mrs. Doane as we left, 1 hope the young society matron who saw the description of this case in The Bee and brought the three double blankets, the books, the dozen cans of edibles and a check for $7 to pay a month's rent will read this ac- count and know the sunshine she has sprea’ in that home. Reim Receives Word of Advance of Cadillac Price Telegraphic word was received Sun- day by George T. Reim of the Cadil- lac company of Omaha to the effect that it was found necessary to ad- vance the price of the Cadillac $160 on December 14, In speaking of the advance, Reim says the Cadillac manufacturers were, some time ago, confronted with the proposition of reducing the quality rather than reduce the vanced the price.
