Of the English high school. was surround
ed by many OF ner young friends at her
home on Mount Pleasant last evening In
honor OF her success as a graduate.
Miss Crofwell was taken somewhat by
surprise. for her friends. with the assist
ance OF her parents. had kept her in ig-
norance OF tho pleasure that was in store
for her. and only when she was
| hurriedly called from a nearby residence.
was she aware that more than usual home
life was in order
The young folks had been busy during
the few hours OF her absence and had
transformed the pretty lawn In front OF
her homo into scene that was most
pleasing TO the eye. for hundreds OF Ian
terms were strung In every direction,
making the lawn ALMOST as bright as

OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD.
Any man or woman interested in the
welfare OF children can find work that
will fahI
doubt to the children by putting in few
hours day at the lower end OF Broad
way, watching the many little girls out
begging pennies from pedestrians. just
see what success they have, then follow
them to their homes. and in a few mo-
ments they will be seen going in another
direction, with the Instructions to take
Willie for walk" or I'm other words told
be heading for a liquor saloon for beer.
The story OF these little ones is sad.
for they VIII tell about their fathers being
on a strike which is false. 1t is we'll
known fact that the parents OF the little
innocents subsist on the earnings OF their
children who are well trained TO their
work. for mono OF them will make an ap-
plication for aid when policeman is in
sight.
Some times the parents will condescend
to go for the beer themselves, for none
OF the respectable dealers about the
square would supply these little ones
even II they knew that their parents could
afford 10 spend money for such a pur-
pose.
Any society Interested in this work can
find plenty OF men who will willingly as
sist in stamping out this abuse OF chill
dren.
