Send Archie an
Xmas Post Card
To Every Boy.
Archie whs an average Ameri
can boy. He went to school,
enjoyed tops, kites, marbles,
balls and other things that oth
er boys like. In vacation days
he worked when he could find “a
job” to help his widowed moth
er. When he was in the second
year of the high school he got
sick. Several physicians having
failed to find out just what was
the matter with him, an inter
ested friend one day took him to
see a celebrated physician. This
physician made the startling dis
covery that Archie had leprosy,
the most loathsome, the most
malignant, the most hopeless of
all diseases.
The laws of the state in which
he lived were very rigid regard
ing leprosy and so, without a
goodbye to his devoted mother
and to his friends, Archie was
rushed off to a lonely place call
ed “Leprosarium,” provided by
the state for such cases. Here
he will have to live the rest of
his life, shut out from family
and friends and the big throb
bing world in which he is so
much interested. It was doubt
less very lonely indeed for
Archie, especially at first, and
he watched the big ships sail by
and longed to have somebody to
talk to.
A few months after Archie
was sent to this desolate place a
friend from “The Mission to
Lepers” went to see him. After
thev had talked a while the lit
tle fellow said, “The hardest of
all is not to be able to write to
the boys back home. I guess
their mothers wouldn’t want
them to be getting letters from
lepers. But I wish I could tell
them about my wireless sta
tion.” . . .,
Imagine the surprise of the
visitor when he discovered that
Archie, during his solitary con
finement, had constructed a first
rate wireless telegraph station.
Of course when the visitor went
home he saw to it that Archie
had what he needed to make the
station more complete, and so
well did his station work that
he was one of the first wireless
operators in the world to pick up
news of the great Titanic disas
ter. The wireless operators on ;
the passing ships have become!
greatly interested in Archie and
always signal to him as they
pass.
The other day the friend went)
to see Archie again. He found
him eagerly watching for the
base ball score, war news or any
other news from the outside
world that he could catch
through his little instrument.
When the visitor asked if there
was anything he needed, Archie
said, “No, I have everything I
need.” And he hesitated and
stammered a little, and then add
ed, “Would it be too much
trouble for you to send me an
occasional copy of one of the big
magazines?” It seems a pity
that the new law about amateurs
makes his wireless station inef
fective. just at present.
Now if every boy in America
who hears this story will send
Archie a post card with a cheer
ing message, Christmas would
be happy indeed for this bright
but lonely boy in his solitary
prison.
If you were Archie wouldn’t
you just love to have bright
beautiful pictures and cheery lit
tle messages from other boys out
in the great big world? Send a
post card and join in the
“Christmas Post-card Shower”
for Archie.
