From an orphan asylum in st. Louis,
Mo-, comes an interesting story. A
millionaire of that city with his wife
visited the institution, and while in
the nursery stopped to admire pretty
boy Just waking from a NAP. The
baby smiled at the millionaire's wife,
and stretching his chubby arms toward
her, said: "Take baby" She took
him in her arms, and the child
laughed gleefully, as he commanded:
"Pretty mother, kiss baby" The rich
man and his wife looked at each
other, and the same Thought flashed
into both minds, as their home was
childless. When they left the build
ing the golden haired boy was taken
to the carriage, and the orphan asy'
