There is an excellent opportunity IN
a certain section of this city for the
Humane Society to do 4 very humane
and charitable act, and one that would
reflect great credit on the society as
we'll as saving several innocent chill
dren from a miserable life. In a GER
tain section of the city there was a
family a few months ago which got
along in a sort of a way. Finally the
mother, becoming disguised with the
life she was leading with a drunken
husband, left for parts unknown, a
ing several children, the Oldest OF
which is about 10 years. The husband
finally went to work and left the chill
dren to take care of themselves. Two
dissolute women living in the house
at the time took pity on the little ones
and did all in their power for them,
feeding and clothing them to such an
extent that the children commenced
to look as though they had learned
what it was to live. The father of the
children came home Saturday, and
Sunday he drove the two women who
had been so kind to his little ones
out of the house. He intended to leave
again to-day for the oil fields, and the
children will probably be left to them
selves once more with no n to take
care of them. 1t would be an honor to
the society for the prevention of cru
city to children and a blessing to the
children if they were taken from the
care, or rather lack of care, of this
man and placed in good homes where
they would be taken care of. The To-
cation of the home of the children is
in a very unsavory neighborhood and
they should not be allowed to remain
there any longer than it would be pos
sible to make the necessary arrange
ments to have them removed.
