If each Journal will reprint these llnw, they will travel to very 1 ' ex change table In th* U cited States and bring back to a wretched home a child wbo la now nq doubt suffering with cold, unfed and wretched to a degree. Think of what your own foellngi would be under similar oir This appeal Is Indies ted originally by a publisher who saw Dr. Bj era only ones, has no personal in terest in bis quest other, than the bond of sympathy that makes the world akin, and is Inspired from the belief that the lost boy can only bo foundthreugh the united iff.rt ot the country proas of which be ft proud to bo a member.
