An attendant in one of the out wards adj
mitted that there We're inmates whose
relatives were financially able to support
them The old people get childish and
trubleSome, - said he, land they send them
here. 1t is oftentimeS an eternal separation,
for no man, nor woman, either, likes to
admit that their father or mother i in the
Almshouse An old fellow died here the
other day whose case was a sad one He
had several sons and any of them was able
to give him a comfortable home One holds
good paying municipal position and is
quite prominent in ward politics. He never
came near his old father and the other sons
only visited him once or twice.
"They seemed ashamed to acknowledge
him as their father although he was here
through 10 fault ofshis, for he had been
good to his boys, and had worked hard to
give them a start in life: He never com
planned, though, ana it was a hard matter
to get him to talk about them. About a
moth ago the old man was taken sick, and
for several days muped about the ward
hardly able to drag one foot after the other.
! asked him if he didn't want word sent TO
his sous, but he shook his head, One morning
he did not get up, and after breakfast the
doctor came TO see him.
1.-The old man is near his end he said to
me as he came out OF the ward. He can't
live many hours longer
eve sent word to the sons that if they
wanted TO see their old father alive they
must come out at once. You'd have thought
that they would have come with all speed,
but they didn't and the next day the OLD
man died. We had told him that his sons
had been sent for and he expected them, |
know for when any one came into the ward
his face would brighten and he would turn
his eyes toward the door, Oh, so longingly.
One of the inmates was with him at the end
lie notified me OF the old fellows death and

DESERTED AND ALONE"
John passed away very quiet and
peaceful-like, sir. he said u was standin
right there by the trunk when he gave his
last gasp. lie looked up into,m face once
with such a strange, wisbful expression in his
eyes that bent down closer, thinking he
wanted to speak I'm leetle hard o hearin'.
but think he said: "Dyin' in the poorhouss
deserted and alone" it was quite pitiful,
an felt almost like cryin'.
g II did seem pretty rough, but thought
that, now that the poor old man was at rest.
they would at least give his bones Christian
burial We sent word to the son that has a
position under the city that his fathers
dead body was here, subject to his orders.
Will you believe it, sir he paid no attention
TO the message. We wrote second time.
Still no response"
