This is the good word: "The memory of the keen disap pointment of my little sister and my self when we found our stockings empty for the first time, in 1864 a long time ago 1h keen enough after all these years to give your appeal oil behalf of the poor children of Atlanta a special significance to me. "Our father was in the Army of Northern Virginia that Christmas. We were on a plantation in Southern Georgia, and all communication had been cut off it Was a Tragedy. "Mother told us it would he useless for us to hang up our stockings that Christmas Eve 'Santa Claus can’t come this year,’ she said; and 1 can remember the queer tug at my hear* when she said it. "But our childish faith In the mirac ulous power of the old saint was such that we insisted on hanging up our stockings as usual. "I have never forgotten how we 1 felt when we strained our eyes to see the contents of those stockings in the dim dawn of that long-ago Christmas Day and found nothing! You call it a tragedy, and you are right. "1 hope the inclosed contribution will help to keep some little one from a similar experience and 1 wish that I could tell everyone of that expe rience of my sister and myself, for it might help to recall similar memories of those sad times "L.

A very good book says the poor are. too Maybe this Is a good chance to take care of the whole outfit at once.
