“The people of this city responded mag- nificently to the calls of charity during the Chri This comment, or a similar one, was publish- ed in every town in the nation, and it is truth. Every merchant, every professional man, every person suspected of having money has been so- licited. Charity balls, charity musicals, charity baskets, charity stockings, straight charity begging.

Years ago—well do we | remember all the details—when a lad named Willie was ‘returning from Sunday school, sauntering along and cating @ cream puff, which he had bought with five pennies that were designed for the little heathen of missions in far frica, two bad boys, Bill Smith and Jack Jones by name | real bad boys who never went to Sunday school and never thought for the little African heathen—were down on sidewalk fighting. It was an earnest, sincere fight for a marble, called “a white alley.” Pretty soon Bill and Jack arose, exhausted, without one good punch left in either of them, and Willie, being a nice, | good boy, mediated by saying: “Do you not know that it is) | wrong to fight on the Sabbath day? Surely the marble be to—” Willie never got any further. When last seen he was to save what was left of his cream puff by doing the hon Stunt. You see, not being asked to mediate and “not being a husky boy, like Bill or Jack, Willie didn’t qualify | for the requirement of human nature that when you make a demand you must have something more than gentle words and looks to back it. nm this European instance it is proposed that we risk de- | fenselessness rather than risk losing the job of mediating be- en mad natio!
