"That Good Fellow doesn't Trait to , ' come around until Christmas, doos he, teacher?" paid a littlo chap attending M a public school in the outlying districts K one day Inst, week, "ITc found out. I sumo way that wo needed help at our j house and he came to see us, "Pretty soon a nurse canto down to care- for mnmma and give her somo modicino' to malco her woll. Then the Elks came around aud brought somo good things to cat and holped papa to I get a job. I like Good Fellow better j thau Santa Claus though, of course, I J like 't-m both." 4 This pathetic story was told to a J school teacher last; wcok it brought tears to her oyeB and it brought home to hor, as it should to you, Mr. Good Fellow, the opportunity you are nog-locting nog-locting if you have not already joined the legion bf Christmas cheer, the Order j of Good Fellows. Tt has grown rapidly within the last two weeks and it is go-ing go-ing to grow more rapidly in the next HI week. If you don't join you are going to miss your chance to bo one or the happiest persons in Salt Lako Christ- HJ mas morning. For all of tho Good Fel- Hj lows will be happy that is their re- Hj f ward for the happiness they will bring to hundreds or little childron who H would know nothing of tho joys of H j: Christmas were it not for the benefac-tions benefac-tions of the Good Follows. H No Trouble to Join. HI And it is such a simple thing to join fl the order of cheer. There won't bo any investigation committee looking up H your record; there won't bo a single H cent of initiation fee to pay; you won't H have to tell anyone about it all you H need is a littlo spark of ambition to H make some little child happy on Christ- H Then yon fill out the blank printed H on this page and mail it. The postmas- Hj tcr knows where Good Fellow has his H oflicc aud the mail will go diroct to H Good 3"'ellow. It will not come to any H newspaper office and there will be no 1 H i record of your request kopt. You will; H i simply receive a list of the number of 1 H k children you askod to care for. Then H i it is for you to do the rest. H The ruler of the Good Fellows doesn't H ask 3'ou to take provisions or clothing H or coal to poor families. There are ehar- H ity associations in the city to look after H that. Your mission in the order will be H to bring Christmas joy to tho hearts H of little ones whoso parents aro unable H to do it through stress of circumstances. H j It might be with a doll, a toy automo- H bile or a little woolley dog just a sim- j pie inerpensive thing. I Most Cherished Faith. H ' But the joy, the Christinas spirit, that H the gift embodies in the tiny brain of H a child, whose most cherished faith is H the belief in Santa Claus, is worth so H much. The patron of tho child's Christ- mas has not forgotten him, his innoceut 1 faith has boon rownrded. And who j would say that the Divine Patron whose ! H i birthday wo celebrate on Christmas 1 would neglect to givo just a little more happiness to the "grown-up" hearts ' who gladdened the hearts of his little, H Xow there is the blank, right on this! page- The magazines are wont to say ' about the blanks that are appended to j advertisements: "Sign - and mail it1 now," or something to that effect.' There was never a better reason for H that advise than in this caso. The time : H is growing short only uine more days. ' Will there be unhappy children in Salt' Lake Christmas morning or will all of j ! them be bright? Tt is for you, Mr. H , Good Fellow, to say. 1 |
