 The patient was the same one used Ill the first trial of the ray, Fredericl, Montgomery Campbell, fourteen years old, who, before he became i'll, was a great fayorite as a messenger in the stock exchange.

Flower, the president of the hospital, who for q year has defrayed the expenses of the boys care in a private room. The boys case is a desperate one. He has tuberculosis of the hip in a very advanced stage.

Superintendent Doran Would Like to
 Place Children in Homes.
 Superintendent Doran of the town poor has two bright boys, one four years and the other five, that can be had by the right parties for the ask ing. They are offspring of legitimate birth, but like many other waifs they are dependent upon others than their natural parents for support and unless some one appears who is will ing to give them home they will have to go the old way, that is they will have to take their chances in the state institution. People who might not have room for the boys in their fam flies can secure a handsome seven years old girl from the same gentle man.@ The girl is sister to the five years old boy. Both would make nice litIe family for some one of means wAo is mindful of the Divine Masters remark with reference to ''theSe little oneS." It is q long time ago since these words were uttered but the little ones of to-day are just as dear to the Man of Sorrows as were those whom he saw during his lifetime on earth. Who'll be first to come forward and agree to provide home for one of these little children. If you don't take the boy and girl you can take one, and if you think youare able to do the right thing by all you can have them. There must be great many people in Waterbury who would like to get a boy or girl, or both, already reared. It $ quite q chore to raise them up to the ages Of these children, so that it looks as if Mr Doran ought not to find any trouble in placing them ill good homes.
