ne'r-do-weels, and are in the habit Of
taking advantage of their mothers good
nature to obtain their daily meals.
The strain became too great and the
mother decided to send the children to
the County Institution at Snake Hill. She
told the three youngest children of the
proposed plan. Many tears We're she'd
but the children were finally induced to
believe that it was for the best. The
Oldest child was to remain at home, while
Maggie ten years old; Abell eight years,
and Charles, six, were to go to the poor
house.
The mother and children boarded car
and arrived safely in Jersey City. AS the
group approached Poormaster Hewitt's

separation, suddenly broke from the
mother and started to run. They never
stopped until they reached their home in
Greenville The mother pursued them for
short distance. but the youngsters were
fleet of foot, thir speed being accelerated
by the dread of the poor house. They
were soon out of slgnt.
Mrs. Williams notified Captain Nugent
of the Ocean avenue police station, who
detailed officer Burke. to gather in the
little runaways. The officer went to their
home on Linden avenue, and found the
little runaways covering with fear In

Ocean avenue police station and subse-
quently they were taken to the Oakland
avenue station.
Mrs. Williams was seen last night. She
was at first undecided what to do with
the youngsters She had been advised
by some of the neigh5ors to send them
away, but she felt that she could not
bear the separation. She fully determined
last night to bring the youngsters home
and make one more effort TO provide for
them and keep the little home together.
