circle of friends, as evidenced by the attendance at the funeral, which took
place on Wednesday.

Everybody or nearly everybody appears to be doing
something voluntarily in regard to the wounded. From unexpected quarters little
itmes come to hand to tell this tale. For instance, at that well-conducted
establishment, the East Cliff Tavern, a box is handed round every Sunday
morning, the coins fall into it readily from all hands, khaki and navy boys
being excluded. Proud is Mr. Mark Price, the genial landlord, when the box is
full: our friend does the thing properly. On the last occasion he asked Mr.
Robert Stokes to open the box, which was found to contain £2 7s. 11d. Our
friend Bob, as he is familiarly known, proceeded to the shop of Mr. Pain, the
well-known tobacconist, of Dover Street, and there purchased 1 lb. of Navy Cut
and 1 lb. of Capstan tobacco, also twelve boxes of Player`s cigarettes for the
sum mentioned above. Thus a noce parcel was sent to the Royal Victoria Hospital
for the benefit of our wounded heroes. This is perhaps a comparatively small
matter, but it goes to show that the working men of Folkestone, who enjoy their
glass of Kentish sherry in moderation, do not forget their duty towards the
boys. I hope Mr. Mark Price, who on more than one occasion has shown that his
heart is in the right place, will continue his good work, and that he will be
shortly compelled to call on our friend Bob to again count the coins, with the
result that a further supply of “the finest herb under Heaven” may be sent to
the Hospital. Now, if every licensed place in Folkestone possessed a box after
this manner, what good might be done!
