to the Indiana commissioner. Mrs.

and tireless in the performance of her

When a dissipated youth goes astray,
says the Warsaw Times, friends gather
around him in order to restore him to
the path of virtue. GentleLess and kind
ness are lavished upon him to win him
back to innocence and peace. No one
would ever suspect that he had ever
sinneu. But when a poor, confding girl
is betrayed, she receives the brand Of
society, and is henceforth driven from
the ways of virtue. The base betrayer
is honored. respected and esteemed; but
his poor. ruined, brol<en-hearted victim
knows there Is no rest for her this side
of the grave. Society has no helpins
hand for her-no smile of peace-no
voice of forgiveness. These earthly
mortalities-they are unknown of heaven.
There is deep wrong in them and fear
full are the consequences. This IN
justice of society is wildly brought to
mind in such cases.
