1t is about this time every year that the
Children's Home sends out its appeal to
the good people of the city, an appeal
which deserves a n earnes. attention and
resdy response. The woGS of The Home
Is broad and far reaching; it fills a place
that no other institution in the city oan
supply: 1t needs six Thousand dollars to
pay borrowed money and sustain the
Home.
We ali know, or at least all those in-
terested IN the progress of city charities
know, hat the nucleus of the Home was
TWO little children found shiverlng in au
old truck one stormy night, driven into
the streets by a drunken father. From
this small beginning che Home has arisen
from one building to another, until tor
day its handsome building OF Glenwood
avenue shelters more Than fifty children,
and not only saelters them. but provides
them with what Is truly a chiidren's
home. 1t has been my privilege to in
spect the building from garrett TO cellar,
under the guidance of the Matron, and
on other occasions to have a glimpse OF
some OF he other homes" from which
these children came, and these sights
conyinced me that the institution de-
serves every dollar that the good people
OF the city may devote Co its support.

And think that the savin' Of a little child
And the bringing him to his own,
Is a darned sight better business
Than loafng around the throne.
