At CHILDRENs HOME
The little ones had a most merry time
at the Wichita Chndren's Home on Col
lege Hi Monday afternoon. To have had
a peep at the happy company Of children
would oil ones heart with pleasure and
pathos; pleasure, to know there are great
hearts who give careful thought and ten
der care to so many helpless ones thrown
upon the mercy Of the world; pathos,
because they are denied the purest love
Of humanity, that of mother love. Who
can know what that child suffers who is
longing for the tender touch Of a moth
er's hand? One little girl whose mother
died a short time ago, said: It wish
could see mamma once more" BY the
kindness Of our merchants and the so
Bcitattons Of our directory, two trees
laden with everything that children wish
for at this season was supplied. An in
teresting program was enjoyed by
number of friends more because It was
given by the children. after which Santa
Claus presented each child with toys,
corrections, fruit and wearing apparel.

for the Christmas dinner and Messrs
Steffen & Bretch seemed to have taken
special care in including the Ice cream

dren.
