the main committees have been appointed. They are men who in ich instance are particularly fitted for the management of the enterprise. They have been through the mill and know how to avoid the mistakes as well as to retain the successes of last year. And then will
come the appointment of the heads ot the sub committees and selection
of the committees themselves. " ,
And so it is started. As far as the promoters of the Fall Festival are concerned, all the preliminaries will soon be out of the way. The committees will ask men to help them in this work for Richmond. That will he the test In other words after the plans are made it makes no difference how well the minds of the promoters may have worked in thinking up new and desirable features what Is needed is men who will carry them out All the plans in the world will not make the Fall Festival a success what it needs what Richmond needs, is men.
Why not do something for Richmond? The success of the Fall Festival depends on the whole town. The success of Richmond depends on everyone taking an interest in it and not letting someone else do the work. Last year it was hard work to get some men in town interested in the Fall Festival. They spent more time in thinking up excuses than they needed to have spent in working for the Fall Festival. Some men doubted very much if it could be done. Other men did not like some of the men who were working for it. Other men were "too busy." Others said it was all foolishness. Others "were not feeling well." Still others said that Richmond had never helped them, therefore they would never help Richmond. Others thought it was the pet scheme of the Main street merchants to help themselves. Some Main street merchants said that they wouldn't work because it might help their competitors. Poor men objected to it because they said it was for rich men. Several wealthy and conservative capitalists looked askance at it because other rich men wore not interested In it. Some employers said it wasted the time of their employes. Some of the employes would not work for jit because they didn't like their employers. Other people thought it was simply a project of the newspapers. And so on .

The Fall Festival was a success la spite gloom dispensers.
And the reason it was a success is because those men who did work, worked with their coats off. They didn't care whether they had been selected as chairmen of committees or not-they did not even care whether

No disposition has been made of

of the increased expense in shipping

It was this way: Some young doctors In New York
city who had seen the suffering and lack In the tenement districts, where
the very poor swelter in summer and ahirer In winter, bought a cottage on the ocean and started a charity sanitarium on a small scale.
Joe Barron was their first patient. Joe's back was twisted, and bis legs
were crooked, and he bad tuberculosis

But when they came to see him Joe
smiled up into the feces of the doctors.
and bis smile went straight to their
hearts.
And so they took Joe out of the hot
and dirty slums, out to their cottage.
which they called "Sea Breeze." And
there they strapped him to a board and bang him out in the fresh air just
as an Indian mother hangs her pa poose. " . .
It hurt him, but Joe smiled.
And every few days those doctors
with the strong arms pulled and twist
ed and stretched Joe's muscles so that
the little fellow would sometimes cry out in pala. but no sooner did they
quit trying to straighten out the kinks
in his deformed body than the smile
reappeared.
It was the smile that would not come
on.
One day. some four years ago. Presi-
aent Roosevelt and his great friend Jacob Bits went to Sea Breese. Joe didn't know the stout gentleman who looked at his twisted shape was the president, but he smiled the old sweet
smile.
And Impulsive Roosevelt said to Riis.
"Can't We do something for this brave
fellow?"
And Rils said. "I'm going to take his
picture and telt the people about Joe."
