It was Just a few nrnutes after mid night this morning when Sir Good Fel low finished his work for 1814 He had Just left tho borne and a mighty poor one It seen ed for a chilly wintry nlgbt of the last of the strays that reached his desk yesterday Hr Good Fe low sighed with both pity and satisfaction. Pity because It was not pons b e for ev erjone ln Salt Lake to have as happy a Christmas as everyone else with satis faction because every case that had been reported to Mr Good Fellow as well as all San a Claus lettetrs that bad reached his desk had been given attention and Ctristnas cheer assured ln more than ttO 1 omee which almost 1000 children Ii e Tl e work whl h Mr Good Fel ow com pleted last night he prorounced as the most successful e er accomplished by the members of tl e order ln t Lake In no other year has there teemed to be U e acute need tor attention among the poor as In this And in no year baa there been a greater demand on the charitably Inclined t e Good Fellows as In this. The campaigns of the Fed Croes ! society tbe associated charities, tbe wort for Belgium sufferers have all combined seeming y this winter to make the work of Mr Good Fellow harder But It was not harder it was easier Sa t Lake la fairly alive with Good Fellows vho re sponded nobly and as a result there Is Joy In many homes today where there might otherwise have been broken hearts wrenched becaus there was not some toy or remembrance on the day when others In better circumstances usually have much more than they need or care for Campaign a Success The Good Fel ow campaign this year has been more than usually bnghtened by ln cldents that reflect the goodness ln the hearts of people who try to make others happi thereby gaining much added Joy for themselves The Good Fellows of calt Lake are unknown by name, they have no designation so that those who are the beriefic ar es of their munificence may know them There are, perhaps homes In Salt Lake where the look on the faces of Good Fellows will long be remembered by those who received the tojs and the food from their hands yeBterday Those memor es how ever cannot live as long as wl 1 those In the minds of the Good I ellows who saw sadness turned Into Joj heartaches into happiness.
