Rambler, in his article Friday morning,
in abiding to little child that had strayed
away from home, and which had been found
by the police, pretty well soiled and dirty
BY his tramp, and in quoting a CONVEX
sation which should have occurred between
himrelf and Marshal Cairns, did good and
a very worthy woman an injustice and an
injury for which We are sorry. The whole
matter, when once understood, is simple and
commonplace enough. and there was no
wrong or ground for criticism. The mother
was finishing up a very heavy days wash
ing, supposing that the little one was behind
the house making mud pies, she having
fixed him up for just such dirty work. When
she missed him she hastily put on good
dress and started down the street to find
him, where some little girls said they had
seen him going. Meeting gentleman
mutual acquaintance-they continued tine
search until the little fellow was met in the
care of policeman. OF course he was
dirty. But whose baby isn't dirty when
making mud pies. and where's the baby that
don't like to make mud pies' or, when firing
of that fun. that isn't liable TO wander off.
Of course no names were m> Htioned, but
the mothers heart was sore and troubled
enough when she read the ungenerous con-
illusions and observations Of the EAGLES
scribe about young mother whom the edi-
tor of this paper has known from childhood
up and only 10 respect.
