FUND FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS IS STHL IN NEED OF $3,(00; CRIPPLE MAKES $50 DONATION Joseph Johnson, Who Lost Leg in Accident, Gives Evening Force a Shock as He Stumps Into Office With Gift—Knows What It Is ~ to Be Lonely in Hospital on Christmas. T bave been crying watil T can hardly see to write, I had my story for to-day's paper all written and we were all just about to go home, tired but happy, when down the long hall came a tall mun on crutohes, helped along by © friend. He came into the offloa, was eased into a chair, and sald: “are you the lady that's writing these appeals for money for the Wounded soldiers I sald, “Yes. And if you want to de invited ti dir Christmas en- ments, why you have come to exactly the right place.” “Oh,” ho said, “I am not a wounded soldier, and I don't want to be invited anyweere, 1 came to give $50 to your fund. I am only a eivilian, but I know what it is to be in @ hospital at Christmas timo =2d be lonesome, eo I want to give this.” ‘We all backed away from him. “We CAN'T take money from’ YOU! Why, It is wounded men wo ere trying to help. How could you spare so much?” “I want to give it,” be said simply. “I havo no one dependent on me. I can afford it” 1 looked at him. One leg is gone at the thigh, The other foot ‘wears a shoe with e sole six inches thick! His toos and heel of that foot are gone, And his wounds will not heal, His eyes are affected since his accident and he needs dental (westment. 1 got bis story. He was driving @ team of green horses attached to a loaded feed ‘wagon down the inoline of Fulton Street. Just where it moots Prospect, the breast strap of one horse broke.and be jumped sideways. ‘This man, Joseph Johnson, got down and crawled under the wagon to loosen @ rope tied to the axle, While he was there a trolley car approached, struck the rear of the wagon and caused the wheel lo go over Lis left leg, cutting it clear off and olipping the toes of the right He oald: “I saw eo shadow approaching, and then I saw my leg holding on to my body by just a little strip of flesh.” Now, men and women, this maimed, broken man feeld that he is 0 MUCH BETTER OFF than the wounded soldiers still in hospitals that he wants to give them $50, He MADE us take it Mr, Johneon goss to both our Christmas Eve parties in a limou- You will see him at the Hotel Commodore at noon Friday, the 26th, as the guest of Mr. Bowman aad Mr. Sweeney at their big lunch- @on to 1,500 wounded ex-service men, You will see him at 6.30 on the Mew Amsterdam Roof as the guest of Florenz Ziegfeld. And I know that Miss Billie Burké end Marilynn Miller and all the other lovely ladies who are going to help give our wounded a Qoytul time at our special performance of the Midnight Frolic will ome and shake hands with him and tell him what they think of his @plendid generosity. He did not want to give his name, but we told him if he would let es publish bis picture that !t would help us to raise the ogher §3.000 more whi. we MUST HAVE. If HE can give so much, cannot you WELL people give something? ‘As we go to press, we have $7,000 tn our Wounded Soldiers’ Chriat- fas Fund. But—— ‘We need, aa you know, THIN thousand.

Listen, people; we've GOT to have it! out itl NOW, let's see what you will do! Three wounded soldiers sent us money for our fund. WE SENT IT BACK. It nearly breaks our hearts to see one-legged soldiers hobbiing up to our office with money in their hands to give to their less fortunate dfothers who are STILL tn hospitals! Did you ever see such spirit? Doesn't it show that they mean to come back? p—that they NEVER know when they are licked? Why, they are the undaunted of the ages! 1 have been go thrilled by the letters and the actual coming of these men all the painful way to The Evening World office to see how we are getting on and to bid us godspeed in our work that I just HAD to put what I felt into verse.
