Kittie Smith’s Lesson of Perseverance
By Editor
We have received an interesting little pamphlet, which bears on its title page a photo-reproduction of a pleasant, intelligent-looking young lady, underneath which is the subscription, "Yours truly, Kittie Smith." That is all, except a few decorative lines. It is what is wanting in the picture which makes it of interest; Miss Smith is armless. Both arms were burned off when a child. Yet Miss Smith has not yielded herself to complaining or discouragement. She has set her brain to educating her feet. This pamphlet tells the story of her life, with many good words of confirmation of her story. It also contains facsimile reproduction of the work she has done with her feet in writing, in drawing, in needlework. The book ought to be a tremendous lesson to the idle and discouraged ones who have two hands. The price of the pamphlet is 25 cents, and it is worth that in its interesting story of the curse of alcohol, and the lesson that it teaches in industry and perseverance. Address Miss Kittie Smith, South Whitley, Ind.
