RECORD UNION of yesterday morning told
how the doctor got a baby at his house with
out the usual fuss. It was left on his door
step-a bright healthy boy, few hours old.
The paper expressed the opinion that if any
one wanted baby to adopt the doctor could
supply the demand, as far as the youDgster
left at his threshold would go. The result
was that yesterday morning, before the doc
tor had time to peel off his night-shirt, there
were nine applications at the door-bell by
people who wanted the baby that was SO free
of incumbrance. Before the dew of morning
had dried off of the grass the little wsif was
supplied with an excellent home, childless
couple having adopted the little one, and now
the cradle at the Clayton house is empty, for
the baby's gone. Next.
