[From the Boston American.]

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the Christian Science Church, following out her custom of many years past, gave the needy little tots attending the opening of the Concord State Fair certificates for new shoes, which were redeemed at one of the uptown stores by Mrs. Eddy's agent, William A. Thompson.

The fair opened yesterday and it was "Children's Day." The little ones were admitted free of charge, and while the weather was wet, damp feet and clothes had no terrors for the happy youngsters. All over the grounds they went, where the grass was the highest and the mud the deepest, saw every exhibit and every show and enjoyed every minute of the day.

The center of interest for them, however, was the booth in the main exhibition building from which were distributed the free certificates for new shoes. This Mrs. Eddy has done every year since the fair was instituted, and to her generosity hundreds of Concord children owe thanks for the opportunity to go to school comfortably and fittingly shod.
