Peoria CALL


In very elegant palace car entered a
weary faced poorly dressed woman with
three little children--one babe in her
arms. A look of joy crept into her face
as she settled down into one of the lux.
urious chairs, but it was quickly dis
PEELED as she was asked rudely to ''start
her boot" A smile of amusement was
seen on several faces as the frightened
group hurried out to enter ono of the
common cars. Upon one young face,
however, there was look which shamed
the countenances Of the others. "Auntie"
said the boy to lady beside him. "I'm
going to carry my basket of fruit and
this box Of sandwiches to the poor
woman in the next car. You are will.
ing of course!" He spoke eagerly, but
sho answered; Don't be foolish, dear,
you may need them yourself, and per.
haps the woman is an impostor." 'No,
I'll not need them," he answered
deti ledly, but in q very low tone.
"You know / had hearty break
fast and don't need lunch. The
woman looked hungry, auntie, and
so tired, too, with those little babies
clinging TO her. ''I'll be back in min
ute, auntie; know mother wouldn't
like it If didn't speak q kind word to
the least OF these when / meet them"
The worldly aunt brushed tear from
her eye after the boy left her, and said
audibly: "Just like his dear mother. "
About five minutes later, as the lady
passed the mother and the three chill
dren, she saw pretty sight-the family
feasting, as perhaps they had never
done before; the dainty sandwiches were
eagerly eaten, the fruit'basket stood
open. The eldest child with her mouth
filed with bread and butter said: "Was
the pretty boy an angel, mothe.' mo, u
answered the mother, and grateful
look Frightened her faded eyes; "but he
is doing angel work, bless his dear
heart!" And we, too, said, "Bless his
dear heart!"

Yet these works, great as is each Of
them separately, and taken altogether,
amazing as the production OF one man,

in Albany, has been deserted and dis

described by Martha J. Lamb as a mon.

relic OF the colonial period, and one of
the few existing links which connect us
with the feudal institutions introduced
into New York from Holland upward of
