ADOPTED BY MRS. COL. CASEY, OF CKNTHA-
LA, ILL.
CESTRALIA, ILL.,, June 1S.--Col. L. r. Casey
is a prominent local lawyer. His wife is an
estimabe lady. Their married life OF many
years has lett them no regret except that no
children have come 10 brighten up the cid
home. Hence they determined TO adopt "A baby
girl IL a suitable one could be founi. One nish
two years ago Mrs. Casey and her sisterin-lAw
retired together and before going TO sleep chat
ted about the proposed adoption. When the
conversation had ended Mrs. Casey was elecsri-
6ed by vision Of childish loveliness at her
side. baby girl with large brown eyes ahd
auburn ripglets lay there smiling and cooing.
Mrs. Casey stopped 10 caress the beautiful
vision, when IL vanished. Being wide awake,
the incident made a deep impression her.
Not many days later stranger appeared, bear
ing a little girl in his arms. He explained hls
mission. He had heard of the desire OF Colonel
and Mrs Casey to adopt a child, and he had
made bold To come to them with this, his only
daughter. He was anxious that she should Te-
ceive a good education and all the advantages
of a cheerful home, which he felt incompetent
TO give her Mrs. Casey, from the moment of
the stranger entrance had been staring n xedly
at the child in his arms. The baby had the large
brown eyes, the auburn locks and the smile Of
her vision. % This is my little child" she ex-
claimed rapturously: "this Is the one | wsntt'
The baby returned the kisses and caresscs, and
Mrs. Casey explained the cause OF her emotion.
The adopted daughter was named Vision. That
was two years ago 1t now transpires that she
is the great-granddaughter Of Commodore Oh
Yer Perry.
