out Of worn for some time past went 10
the grocery where he had been in the Gus
tom of dealing and asked for a sack OF flour.
The groceryman informed him that his bill
had already grown quite large and that he
could not permit him to increase 1t. Meet
ing with this refusal the dis
tracted father snatched a sack OF
-four and carried it home TO his starv-
ing family. The theft was reported to the
police, and when the officer entered the
house he encountered a sight that filled his
heart with pity. Everything about the
house gave evidence of the most dire pow
erty. Three little children were huddlcd
ABOUT the sack Of -four endeavoring to sat
isfy their hunger. They were almost des-
titute of clothing. The sight so touched
the police officer that he at once returned
10 the grocery and out Of his own pocket
paid for the stolen four. The father will
not be arrested and steps will be taken to
furnish relief 10 the members Of the un-
fortunate family"
