HE GAVE AWAY HIS BABY.
1t Was Handed in the Street to a
MeSSenger-Doy
Heartless Dssertion Of a Fine Boy by a
Well.DreSSed MaH-WhO Is
Little Claude?

A newly born boy baby was brought to the
Receiving Hospital at IL o'clocklast night
by messenger-boy of the San Francisco
District Telegraph Company. The mes
senger's name is ]. Smith and his number
is IL. He received So for the service.
The story which Smith told at the Re-
ceiving Hospital in explanation of his er-
rand was to the effect that at 1890 P. NJ.
he was walking down Pacific street, between
Stockton and Powell, returning from a
call. He saw ahead of him a well-dressed
man, carrying bundle in his arms. Sud
denly the man stepped into doorway and
waited until the messenger came up to
him. He then stepped out on the pave
ment and confronted the messenger,
saying: :,
II had the bundle i'm my hands before
had time to think" said Smith, in telling
his story, Immediately after delivering the
infant to the tender mercies and fatherly
arms of DR.. Tennison Dean, who was on
duty. 1.-THE next moment I knew it was
baby. | asked the man what he wanted
me to do with it, and he told me to take it
to founding asylum.
tinued Smith, "but felt that / was in for
a queer job. The man handed me So and
said:
"'Here, take this and put the baby where
it will be cared for We are in hard luck
and unable to keep it. | am sorry to part
with the little fellow and would like to
keep track of him. He was born January
%, at 1 80 o'clock in the morning, and his
name is Claude. Go ahead now and good

"With that the man turned suddenly
and left me. He turned the corner of
street very suddenly and / couldn't see
where he went, and [ couldn't have fol-
lowed him if had wanted to. I started
with the baby for the old City Hall, but
on the way met policeman and | asked
him what / should do with the little one.
He told me to bring it to the Receiving
know about it except that the fellow
seemed to be nice gentleman, well
dressed in a suit of black clothes and he
wore PIN that had something like a dia-
mond on it."
On further questioning Smith described
the man who gave him the baby as being
light complexioned, clean shaved, we'll
dressed over all, even to his polished shoes,
and that his conversation was that of
gentleman.
The child was cheaply and poorly dressed
and was wrapped in coarse red shwl.
Mrs. Hunter, the matron, took charge of
the waif, which she pronounced to be
fine boy. She examined all the clothing
that the infant wore, but failed to find any
mark or sign to indicate the identity of its
parents. A nursing-bottle was provided
and the innocent little castaway soon fell
into peaceful slumber, oblivious of the fact
that he is without father, mother or home.

A certain monarch of violent and hasty
temper became offended at an injudicious
remark of his court fool, and drawing his
sword cut off the unhappy fellows right
ear.
The next day, having given the matter
thought, the monarch approached the
couch where lay the fool in much pain
and apologized sincerely for his conduct,
expressing great sorrow.
Your sorrow is beautiful to see, com.
planned the fool, but it does not restore
my lost ear"
THE loss Of your ear cuts no ice, " re-
piled the monarch. 1T is enough that /
have expressed my sorrow and put myself
at peace with my own conscience in SO
ioing"

amount to, as general thing Indian
