Being Accomplished BY the kennebsc Valley
Home for Children.
A GOOD WORK

The good work which has been ac-
complished in our city by the Kenne-
bee Valley Home for Children is COM
ing to be more and more appreciated
and citizens are beginning TO feel the
claim which it has upon their sympa-
thies and support. Such an institution
certainly fills a long felt want in the
community, not only in affording a
place for the care of orphan children,
but also one where those whose parents
for any reason are unable to give them
home care, may be properly provided
for and looked after.
The idea of this home was suggested
by a sermon which Miss Atkinson
preached at the Gospel Mission, the
first Sunday in January, 1899, in which
she touched upon the needs of home
less children and of hard working
mothers with little ones dependent up
on them for support As result OF
this suggestion Miss Josie Drake took
UP the work and established the home
and has since devoted herself to it with
devoted zeal.
The work has grown beyond all eX-
pectation, and the demands upon the
accommodations of the home have 1ar
exceeded its capacity. 1t can be but
a question of a short time before some
effort must be made to provide this in
stitution with permanent quarters of
its own. 1t will be an undertaking
worthy of the earnest cooperation OF
all good citizens. At one time no less
than 2S little children were cared for
at this home.
We should be glad indeed if the
mothers of Augusta would interest
themselves in this truly worthy work.
Anything that can be used in any way
for these little children. will not come
amiss, and the articles of secondhand
clothing and furniture and many con-
tributions of food which have been
given this home have done much to
keep it going and assist in its mission
of helpfulness.

DECLINE OF S0CKALtxIS.
Once Famous Indian Base Ball Player Now
Haunts Hartford Saloons.

Hartford. CT, March 29.-(SpeciaD.-
Sockalexis, scion of the famous Pc
nobscot tribe of Indians of Old Town.
Me, the big brawny brave who re-
nounced the traditions of his fathers
to seek fame and fortune after the
fashion Of the white subjugatOrs of
the noble red man, has struck one Of
those tides in the affairs Of men.
In years gone by Sockalexis was
name to conjure with. 1t meant money
for it's owner and any base ball mana
ger who was fortunate enough to OBJ
tain his services. The best in the land
was none too good for Sock from the
time he turned his back on his wig
wan for the white mans college and
became an expert on diamonds-the
base ball variety Sockalexis always
was fond Of admiration and adulation.
He would give all his wampum for an
approving look from the ''loidies,' all
his beads for the hero worship of the
gutter boys. who eat, sleep and dream
base ball. And now and again a pale
face (and a pretty face was smitten;
and the Indian accepted her token Of
affection as his due.
But all this had an end. No longer
does tickle fortune smile upon him.
League managers have not learned
that he has been alternating in Hart
ford. They would not care if they did.
perchancc. And meanwhile Los moe
casins are becoming fraycd, his bear
cloth has passed him by, and his eagle
feathers are worn down to the quilts.
Sock hangs out in the ward. The
saloons on Front street are his haunts
and his bed is where he happens to
pitch his wiGwam. There are thOs"
who remember the glamour of his rep
utation and who consider it an honor
to set EN- up for the big brave, and
thereby he is able to quench his thirst
that burning thirst. Apparently he
has lost all the love he ever had for
his race. The other day he came upon
an Indian of the cigar store variety.
"Oh. you brute" he calculated in his
purest English. you sign and symbol
of a lost race. Take that. and that
and he gave the Indian two punches
that would have sent him 10 the Hap
by Hunting Ground" had he not been
fastened to securely to this earth.
Then Sock called him the white mans
burden and ungratefully passed on.
