Her story in effect was that her husband had injured his heart through overstraining at bush work, and had been ordered to keep quiet for three months. They had four children, and were living in a bit of a whare on the roadside of a country town, for .which shelter they were charged half-a-crown a week.

The local body applied to unanimously decided to give the woman an order upon a storekeeper to supply her with 10s worth of stores per week until further notice, and then one of the members present rose and gravely said : ' Gentlemen, a ' bob in"' for the children.' The hat went round the table, and members and staff stumped up to a man, and the smile on that woman's face when she was handed the proceeds seemed ample compensation for pockets a little lightened by a kindly and thoughtful act.
