Only one instance is on record
where a child was returned as unsat-
ssfactory. That was when a woman,
angered by the visit of one of the
state charities agents, who called to
make inquiries as to the care that was
being taken of the child, resented the
investigation, and sent back the in
FAINT.
That the founding never quite gives
up the hope of discovering who his
real parents were is shown in many a
pathetic incident in the office of Mrs.
Dunphy, the superintendent on Ran
dall's island, where the records of
New York foundlings for the past 20
years have been kept by her.
Often a man, sometimes prosperous
looking, oftener with the stamp of the
toiler upon him, viii ask to see the
books of the infant hospital for a GER
tain year. Running his finger down
the page of entries, he will pause at
name and ask if there is any record
Of parental inquiry after the infants
admission to the hospital.
1t is the founding come back, with
the haunting hope that he may, after
all, find out who he really is.
But the founding never does find
out. And so, even if he rise to be gov
ernor or manufacturing magnate, he
is, beyond everything else, pathetic to
the end.-Ainslee's Magazine.

1t is surprising to discover what a
rushing mailorder business for babies
could be transacted. Inquiries for ba-
bies come to the State Charities asso-
citation and the Guild from all over
the country. Recently the mayor of a
fourishing Massachusetts city wrote
for baby, Tnclosing plans and speci-
fcations for the same. which included
blue eyes, light hair, girl, anywhere
from Is months to two years old"
From a colored family in Pittsburg
was received a request for "a boy any
where under two years, not black.
Must be light colored."
From as far west as Denver and as
far south as Alabama come the re-
quests, and if investigations proves
the parties to be really responsible the
founding does his first travelling. I'm
less the child is legally adopted it is
always under the supervision of the
organization that indentured it. Rare
ly does it happen, however, that the
child is taken away, even if it is not
legally adopted. Legal adoption iS an
expensive affair for parents of moder-
ate meaus-the class that usually OBJ
tain the children-and the formality
of drawing up the necessary papers is
often omitted. But the founding is
to the satisfaction of its foster oar
ents regularly adopted and treated as
such.

The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tones are to be found in many drug
stores. These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pc
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at
a uniform price, and no druggist can
get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna 1t is done every
day without a doubt.

Something over three years ago the

for his crime and was sentenced to
five years Imprisonment. Last week,
after having served three years, he
was pardoned by President Roosevelt.
1t is said that Boggs was a tool of
others. So is the boy on the street,
entering upon a criminal career, the
tool of adopts in crime. SO is the
criminal the tool of necessity at times,

should be set free, but our citizens do
