AIas, We Have No Home.

The good citizens of the Twenty-fifth
Ward were wrought up to feeling of sym
pathy yesterday by scene that beggars
description. A mother and her three chill
dren came waddling along the muddy
streets shoeless and their nakedness scarcely
covered. Officer Dave Hicks conducted
them to the Station-house where they were
allowed to warm their chilled and trem-
bling limbs. They were interrosated, and
their story in every way corroborated
their apparent awful condition. 1t
was a story of ALAS! we have no
home. We are from Tennessee. Hus-
band died year ago. | have a sister
in Hamilton, Ohio, to whom we are jour
neying. We have been on the road two
weeks, begging our way, and sleeping by
the roadside. l have to thank God that my
children have kept we'll and endured these
awful hardships" Hearts were moved and
tears glistened in the eyes of parents to
whom their little ones are no dearer than
were those shiyering, hungry ones to that
abiect mother.
Through the goodness and charity of the
ever generous Charles A. Miller, William
Mente, Rev. Mr.. Miller and Officer Dave
Hicks their sufferings were greatly allevi-
ated, by whom they were provided with
clothing, food, and railroad tickets to their
destination.
