Weary Mothers Heart Made (dad Free Shoe Fund to Rescue of Poverty-Stricken Home. A bright little girl of 8 came to an Omaha school last Friday niovning. Her leachef noticed that her old shoes were literally failing from her feet. Her toes were blue with cold. "Mama Is Rick and so are my little brothers," she told the teacher. That afternoon her teacher aceorn ponied her home. Home! What a. mockery of the word was the galvanized iron shack, banked with dirt on a bluff down near the river. The mother, her weary faced rav aged by sikness, lay on a. bed. She told her story; husband dead, her own struggles against unequal odds. "Mary does everything she can, but we have no money and I don't know what wilt become of the chil dren. 1 don't care about myself," she sobbed. Mary got her shoes from the Free Shoe fund. And the two tiny brothers did, too. There are other cases of the same kind coming In daily. Would you like to have a hand in helping them? Just send or bring what you can to “Free Shoe fund, The Omaha Bee, Omaha." Already Acknowledged. W.tl,IW ICutli Margaret Cain . . . . 8.00 A. Martenaeu t.lw The Evening Bee Cnmnneing Kn.mi. Dioxide.
