Tracing Lost Orphans.

Galveston. Just after the storm
a number Of people came to Galveston
and picked up orphans whom they
took away with them to various parts

rhe people had blood claims upon the
children and in other cases they had
none. At any rate they took them, but
no record was ever kept Of them.

desire to get track of these children
for the double reason of knowing who
has them and to keep track Of them in
case anything Of benefit to them should
arise. He requests people who took
orphan children under these cIrcum-
