CASE OF PROVIDENCE.
One Mail Brings Request and Means
to Grant It.


It is not unusual in Mrs Thorpe's ex-
that people who apply for aid when
there is apparently nothing for them to
do and no opening in sight are unex-
pectedly provided for. The following is
providential case:
In the early mail few days ago Mrs
Thorpe received a letter from a south
ern town saying: Through peculiar cir
circumstances 1 am left in charge Of
baby boy five weeks old. He is without
home, parents or money. have to work
out every day and can not care for him,
neither am 1 able to hire help or pay
for his board. / have tried every in
stitution 1 can hear of, but they all say
he is too young to be admitted. Can not
you help me in troubie?"
The letter was laid by when a later
mail brought the following from a west
ern town: Dear Mrs Thorpe: / can
never forget or cease to be thankful for
your kindness to me five years ago
when you found me so sick and -desti-
tute and unable to care for my baby
boy, and you placed him with good
lady until 1 should get well. The lady
became so attached to him that she
adopted him, as was not able to sup
port him and myself. Now 1 have a
good home and every comfort. have
been married three years to a western
farmer and we want to adopt a baby
boy six weeks old If you can possibly
that you may remember me better
can give all the necessary references"
Mrs. Thorpe Immediately made the
necessary arrangements and the little
waif from the southern town has found
a good home in the west

GOOD WORDS FROM ONAGA.
Wide Awake Editor Discusses Kansas
Exposition.

The interest which the Kansas Semi
Centennial exposition is exciting over
the state is remarkable. The press OF

cause, both in space and sentiment.
