STARVING HOME AFFECTIONS.
Neglect of Children Caused Through
Cares of Business.

Western Christian Advocate: A
writer in one of our contemporaries
has been calling attention to the I'M
Intentional and yet pitiful neglect of
children in these days of absorption in
business life. The father goes away
early and comes home late and tired,
and finds neither time o inclination
for conversation. romping or ever get
ting better acquainted with his chill
dren. The little ones who may have
been led to expect some play by fond
ling with papa are put to bed, fire.
q%uently disappointed, and with a vague
sence that their affections are being
starved in them. We fear that there
is too much truth in this representa-
ton. Even those of us who are not
caught in the maelstrom of business
life are apt to be too careless, and to
let the days go by, as we are wholly
taken up by our plans. and we forget
those nearest and dearest to us who
may be longing for a little more of our
time and of our hearts. We do not
mean to be selfish and to cheat either
others or ourselves OF the sweetest de-
lights OF life, but all unconsciously we
do. We give the world and our tasks
too much OF ourselves, and wife and
children too little. Meanwhile the
babies and boys and girls are growing
up. and in a few short years will have
flown away to make nests OF their own.
Who OF us, as he has thought of it, has
not awakened to a sense of self-re-
proach, and has not felt guilty of fraud
upon his own most precious joys and
privileges and the rights and happi-
ness OF others? Well for us II, before
it is too late, we bring forth fruits meet
for repentance.

WANTED A LEG.
Mississippi Boy Pluckily Works His
Way to st. Louis.

st. Louis Post = Dispatch: Jesse
Reaves came all the way from Vicks-
burg, Miss. to st. Louis to look for a
leg. 1t took him a month to get here,
but he got herea(nd here he will stick
and grow up with the Worlds fair city,
and be either a doctor or a lawyer. just
as good as anyone who has WI whole
pegs to stand on.
Jssee is only 13 years old, but he Is
as fun of sasd as a ROSTERS craw. He
isn't much on book larnin'" yet, but
he has a pleasing voice and a bright
eye. and one can tell by the way he
pounds the flood with his wooden leg
when he walks that he has all the grit
of a K1ondiker.
He was all right until three years
ago, when a horse ran away with him
and broke his right leg below the knee.
The doctor said it would have to come
off, and of it came. BY the time his
father. Henry Reaves, a brickmason.
had paid the bill he had but little left
Jesse could not get through the world
in that shape. SO he made himself a
wooden leg. He stumped around on
that so hard that he wore 1t out. and
then he made himself another. That is
tue OItC ut SIuIlpeu luIO ~. l<OuiS Oh-
His mother died six years ago and
his fathe four years later, and that left
the boy alone. The loss of his leg
handicapped him in the race of life, and
one day he determined to come to St
Louis and get another start.
When he crossed the river on the fer
~ to St Louis he had 30 cents left
That was last Friday evening. The
very next morning he set about making
more money. and he made 1t. Then he
hunted I'D a maker of artificial legs and
opened up negotiations with him. The
man offered him a leg for $50 cash, or
one years services without pay. But
the terms were too severe. The boy
could not meet them and live.
AS the next best thing he stumped
around town and hunted up a few Jobs.
He now has a weeks board paid for
he has been taking his meals at a res
taurant at 915 North Broadway-and
has an option on three jobs, either of
which will feed and clothe him temper
arily, but several places have been de-
MED him, because of his crippled condi-
ton. This is the thing he most re-
grets.
The proprietor of a hotel said to the
boy: "Why don't you go to see the
Post Dispatch. 1t always helps people
1t helps everybody"
So to the Post-D Dispatch Jesse came
Tuesday morning, and when he left
at noon, after a short session with the
staff photographer, it was with the
assurance that he had found friends al
the Post-Dispatch, and that the Post
Dispatch would help him find Other
friends in st. Louis.
Jesse has a brand new shoe, which he
bought with none he earned while or
his way from Vicksburg.
They split the pair for me-" he said
"and I paid s1.25 for this.

shoes for them, all right" said the
gritty youngster, in his poiitest man

BOY REFUSED TO OBEY.
Report on Accident Which Happened
Saturday Afternoon.

Assistant Chief Wagner of the fire de-
partment while responding to the river
front fire Saturday afternoon, ran against
q colored boy riding bicycle on 14th street
between street north and south B street,
knocking him down and wrecking his ma
chine. From a report made to the depart
ment by Assistant Chief Wagner, 1t appears
that the boy was racing by the side of the
water tower, and that he continued to do so
despite the fact that the assistant chief
sounded his gong continuously and yelled to
him to get out of the way, the boy keeping
directly in front Of the buggy. Assistant
Chief Wagner states that his horse was in
a stiff run. and that he was, therefore, un-
able to check him in time to prevent the
boy being knocked down. The lads wheel
was badly broken but he escaped serious
injury, leaving the Emergency Hospital
shortly after his arrival there.
Assistant Chief Wagners man saw the
boy spring up after being knocked down
and they, therefore, continued on to the
fire. Upon his return to quarters he in
Quired after the boy and was much~reiieved
to find that he had not been badly hurt.
When knocked down, the boy was violating
the police regulation which makes 1t unlaw-
full to delay Or obstruct any member of the
fire department while going to a fire, and
which also makes 1t unlawful to ride BIZ
cycle in front or at the side Of the appara-
tus Of the fire department.
