H These ladies are not doing the work for the H fun of the ithing, they are doing it for a cause Hj) which should appeal to everyone who can afford B' to fiive a cent, and those who do not feel that H they can give, s ould at least receive the people Hf who aro doing who work, with some degree of B!, courtesy. B' There are plenty of men who have been ap- B' proached whose actions and manner and tone B' have been akin to insult and it is nice to know B i that a careful list of them is being kept for future Bg reference. K B1 A large proportion of those who have been B' asked to aid in the charitable work are ducking B behind the subterfuge that they have contributed B liberally to the Red Cross and are not In a posi- B! tion to do anything further. It was found upon B, investigation that one of these worthies had paid B a dollar to attend a Red Cross tea. A large pro- B portion of those who are not contributing con- B sist of the men who absolutely refused to aid B the Red Cross work because they expressed them- B selves as not desiring to assist any other than B' local chanties, and now that they have the chance, B' ttiey are just as chary about inaugurating a Bi movement with the object in view of finding their Kj pocket nerves. R Bf Speaking of charity, we learn from the Argus HS o Seattle, that that city is about to inaugurate H a Plan for deeding idle men similar to the one Bf being carried on successfully in Portland. B Ben Selling, is a clothing merchant in Port- B land. He has leased a big storeroom and opened B what he is pleased to call a Working Man's club.

Here H may be purchased for five cents a meal which is H sufficient for any working man. Codfish and m gravy, beef stew, pork and beans and boiled rice. B The diner has the choice of either of these B dishes. And in addition a large mug of hot coffee B and the Oregonian says it is good coffee and B four generous slices of white bread are served. B The diner may have this meal for a nickel. B Books containing twenty coupons are on sale for H a dollar at Mr. Selling's store, and business men B are buying them and giving anybody who strikes B them for the price of a meal one or more of the B coupons. B Mr. Selling says that the five cents pays for, B the meal no more. The balance of the expenses B are paid from his own pocket.
