DOLLS BROUGHT HAPPINESS.

Margaret Bottome, In Ladies' Home Journal.
Just before I lef6 for Europe last
summer a great box came to me,
filed with dolls, all dressed, and the
request came with it that should
have them sent to tie children's
hospital. There Is hospital in the
city Of New York for consumptive
children, as we'll as for older people
with the same disease, and gave
the dolls to . physician who is con-
nected with that hospital. He said
Afterwards he wished ! could have
seen the children trooping toward
him, each carrying doll. But the
most touching thing to me was what
the nurse told the doctor, that after
every chi d was furnished with o
doll there was q number left, and
the poor women dying with con-
sumption, asked II each might have
doll. They all wanted them, and
to each the dolls were given, and
the nurse said she could not have
dreamed OF their being such COM
fort to those poor sick women.
There were just enough dolls for
each to have one. All, who can tell
the thoughts they had OF earlier days
when they took little wee one close
to their heart, IS they now took
those little dolls.

David Crockett Boggs, who was
tax collector of Wyandotte county,
Kansas, in 1859, and who suddenly
disappeared in that year with a
shortage of about $4,000, has re-
turned to Kansas City voluntarily to
make good his shortage. Mr.. Boggs
is son of L. W. Boggs, who was
governor of the state of Missouri in
lS36-40. When he disappeared he
entered'th confederate army, an9
served under General Forrest in tEe
second Missouri calvary. At the
close of the war he went to Colorado
and engaged in the stock business.
He never communicated with his
family, and all of them supposed
that he was dead. Mr.. Boggs' father
died in Oregon during the war. Mr..
Boggs residence is now at Montrose,
Colo. e returned to Kansas City
solely in order TO make good his
shortage, having made a small fer

that he not be made to suffer for his
youthful misdoings. His wish will
doubtless be granted.
