EARTHQUAKE RELIEF.
MAYOR’S FUND IN FOXTON.
“Out here in the backblocks, we have just heard of the earthquake, and although just about stumped in the money sense I am only too glad to send my last -pound to the fund for the sufferers,” writes a workman from the Wadtakere ranges to the Auckland Star. “If there is one place in the world,” he adds, “where people -will readily share their last crust with others in need, it is on the .West Coast of the South Island. like the boys of Cripple Creek, they don’t wear no fancy coloured vests or patent leather shoes, but their hearts are as true as the God Who made them. I hope that every man will throw in 'his little wliadk and help the good old diggers and their families to getstraightened out again. They would he the first to do as much for Us.”
