Woman Who Has Been Foster Mother
TO Many a Tiny Baby.

: the court is certain that they<wiis receive
proper training, culture, and education.
1t is perfectly natural that tire persons
adopting the children should wish 10
see them before they are taken, and IN
some cases the whole connection must
see the little one which they are contem-
plating making one of the family. But
there IS one record in the Superintendent $
Office, one case, departure from TINS
natural course of things. 1t was publish
ed In the city papers one morning, not
many years ago. that the night before
baby had been left at, the Almshouse.
About noon Superintendent Davis received
a telegram from gentleman living some
distance from the city. saying he wanted
the boy and would write. He was bent
on having the boy, but 1t was the busy
season on the farm and he could not
leave for several days, SO asked that
the child be considered taken Mr.. .Da-
Wis wrote for his credentials and found,
the man to be well off and the owner
of beautiful country home. The gen
tlcman was kept busy on the farm sew
eraI days longer than he had expected,
but each day came letter in1uir1ns al
ter the child Finally the gentleman came
himself to the city, accompanied by an
old colored NANNY They We're met
at the train by Mr. Davis, who thought
of course they would want to visit the
little one before receiving the order from
the court but no. he had come for the
baby, and he could not go back without
ii. He appeared before Judge Witt and
secured an order from the court for the
custody of the child
At the Almshouse the child was hand
ed him on a, pillow about eight inches
square. and he in turn handed it over to
the old colored woman saying:
Here. Emily. YOU better take it No
thing was heard of him after that.
SHE CAME BACK.
Only few months ago we'll dressed
young lady stepped from a carriage IN
front of the City Almshouse. She was
dressed nicely but not gaudiy. Her
ring was answered and she asked TO be
Shown TO the room occupied by the old
irish woman, who has been a mother to
so many little outcasts, and to her as
well. With her the visitor spent an
hour or more telling the secret of her
approaching marriage to a nice youns
man.
This girl. though her home has been else
where since she was years old, had new
err forgotten the old Irish woman at the
CITY Almshouse-the only mother she CIV
or knew and who gave her The tenderest
love she ever had.
