Gus room for them to lodge in has been pro-
vided in the Sun building Good beds,
warm fires, baths and other comforts await
them at night. A savings bank has been
instituted in connection with the lodging,
and quite respectable sums have been laid
up by these little fellows for rainy day.
Some time since the lodging room was en-
tered by; q stranger, who came to look
around. He was pleased with the appears
ance of things. On going away, he made
D donation of over $50. 900. The unknown
donor turned out to DO Mr. Rose. Of Iowa.

benefit the poor and neglected children Of
America. AT once several societies claimed
the immense legacy. Several ct once were
formed to come under the terms of the will.
These claimants were imperious. Had they
waited for Mr.. Rose, he would have done
generously by them all. They threw him
into court. The court broke She will,

that Kennovan was distrGstful OF Miss
Celeste's ability to Wheel him across IN safe

balancing pole she had nearly recovered
