rHr rooR HOUSE QUESTION.
The Old English Work-House PInn
Doesn't suit.

The Old English work-Bouse Plan
Doesn't suit.
Since the county commissioners
have had under consideration the
plan Of purchasing larger tract OF
land to be used as a poor farm, the
question of the cOunty's poor has
been thoroughly discussed. An
opinion from an unreliable source
has been advanced, urging that
the commissioners Of this county
revert to the old-English work
house custom. They would have
every poor or unfortunate person
Immediately consigned to the in
iirmary.
This plan would lily serve its pur-
pose. For instance: man. with a
large family dependent upon his
daily labor for the necessaries OF
lie, is taken sick. The family are
in want and by this reasoning
would be taken from their gome and
he assigned to the poor bouse, thus
cntailitg heavy expefse upon the
countyA On the othyf hand, if the
family WeVld be yNen a little as

The three accounts above show
how every cent for the county poor
for one month was expended, and
after u due and careful consideration
of the matter, the conclusion is
reached that II is better, by far, TO
afford II temporary relief and aid to
needy families, than to at once
designate Them ms fit charges for the
poor farm and consign them to that

tion stone upon which the firm

The poor we have always with us,
and their comfort must he looked To.
Thus it will he seen that the total
amount expended during the month
of March, for the aid and car, of
the distressed poor of Marion county

she had seen walking up the street il
advance of her.
Her conscience was lighter than bel
heart as she made her way homewaro
again. She felt only less guilty as
she went back with no Christmas JOY
for little Jack then she had felt when
she was hurrying away with the toy
she had taken for him under he
shawl. And as her mamma opened
the door of the poor apartments TO adj
init her, she burst into tears and re-
fused to be soothed.
j. She had not found the heart to
make the cause of her agitation
known when there came a tap at the
door. Visitors never went there, and
pfeinonitions OF harm haunted the
faces of mother and child as the wo-
MAN cautiously opened the doors.
Madge, peeping from behind her
mother skirts, hid herself, with a
startled air from view. The figure IN
the doorway was that she had seen on
the street. The face was the face that
she feared had been turned on her in
the store.
And he carried in his hand the self
same lamb that she had coveted for
Jacks Christmas surprise.
As he stepped into the light, max
ing apologies for his intrusion, sudden
signs of recognition were exchanged
between him and Madge's mother.
"Frankp
"Clarar'
They had not seen each other in the
ten years OF Madge's mothers married
life. Frank in the abundance Of his
generous nature had reasoned with
their father to pardon the forbidden
marriage of the girl, but all without
avail, till now, when her husband
was dead and the tender charity
of the Christmas season had overcome
him, he had sent Frank out to
find her if he could and bring her back
10 the bounty of the parental roof.
Except that she had retired to hum
Bile apartments somewhere in Jersey
City he had no guide to her where
abouts. But he mad prepared to make
his own Christmas merry by giving 1T
up to a systematic search for her, and
was on his way to make some
enquiries that he hoped might aid
him when he became attracted by the
picture of dreaming Madge in front of
the store window.
He had reason to believe, he said,
that her Christmas fancy had settled
on a certain little toy she had seen
there, and he had come to the house
to bring it to her, without ever
dreaming that on reaching it he would
discover it to be the place that was
the object OF his brotherly search.
"And there's your lambkin, little
girll'
He advanced to place it on the pine
table that served for all household
purposes; the voice seemed to come
not from him-but from the inner
most recesses of the room, where little
Jack was dreaming his Christmas
dream.
Madge leaped to her mothers side
in terror. !
81 heard that voice ON the street
tonight" she half shrieked, burying
her face in her mothers skirts, land
no n was there to'say it,
Hush, child" soothed her mother,
as she lovingly stroked her fiaxen
