Afflicted from early childhood and with hard work for Ida lot since the time when moat children were In the care of nur.ee, an Atlanta child of poverty now ha* death ttarlng him in the face unices somebody comes to his rescue lie Is a child of misfortune, too. He hus nobody In the world but a mother as poor as he, but with all her poverty and hard work she Is proud—teat proud to have her name published to the world. nm she I* now Imping nnd praying that Secretary J. C. Loattn of the Asso ciated Charities can find some one to help her little 14-year-old Benny. Like hi* mother, Benny works in a mill—or rather he did work until his awful affliction of epileptic (It* caused him to get mangled in a machine. With the wolf howling at her door, the poor mother knew not which way to turn until somebody told her about the Associated 'Charities. There she went with her only boy and laid bare Her pitiful tale. Of course the flrst thing to do was consult a physician and to one Secre tary Logan sent the lad. But his re port was not encouraging. It was that Benny would never get well except un der rondltlpns which were Impoeslble for his mother's finances. He must stay on a farm for six months or a year. He must have three good meals a day with a rest after each meal and Just enough work Jo keep him healthy. Why, the poor mother didn't even have car fare lo send the lad away providing the farm waa secured. In addition to his other misfortunes. Uenny lias but one eye. The other was awful flta waa upon him and. too, his affliction has made It Impossible for him to remain In school. A* a conse quence he can neither read nor writ*. It Is a problem for Secretary Logan. There Is no institution In Georgia where epileptics may be taken care of. Of course when they become badly ad vanced there Is a place to send them— the asylum at Mlltadgevllle, but when that time arrives there la no hope for them left. There le hope now If somebody who has a farm Is willing to take Ben ny and give him a show.' That’s all *». wants and the whole trouble «Ith hi"' In the past was that he never had * show.
