he is alive.
When he mounted his horse in his ia

into a seventeen-acre lot. A dog joined
in the chase, and then herd of cows be-

Walker was dragged all over the. lot

Saving Ramsey County Children.,1

the future, the H'Weary Willie is often
the man grown from the, exhausted
child, the offspring of the overWorked
mother or the young child put too
early to work. Such a child is worn
out and exhausted before he has at
tanned mans strength and the oppro-
brious term Weary Willie" is more
sadly true than was probably dreamed
of by the joke makers.
The society has no funds, no resour-
ces or any income save that given it
by the small circle in the generous
public of st. Paul, who know the good
1T is doing and it is entirely, sustained
by voluntary contributions.
Another movement the association
would like to see started is the truant
or ungraded school to aid in the moral
training of those children who, instead
of attending the ordinary public school
spend much of their time on the street.
Mr.. r. A. Kirk, of the firm of Far
we'll, Ozmun & Kirk, has been president
of the society ever since 1887, and his
interest has been so deep and earnest
that he has never been superseded.
One very important phase of the
work is that of the free employment
bureau carried on in the secretary's
office. Besides the actual need of the
money for his support, the organiza-
ton believes, If possible, in keeping
youth suitably and congenially en-
ployed.
The executive officer of the company,
d. T. Wellington, carries on the practi-
cal work of the society. He it is that
goes into the home of the incorrigible
boy and helps with his experience and
advice, the parents. For it is not al
ways, as he points out, the child who
is wrong, sometimes the home environ
ment is unfortunate, sometimes the
parents are diSSipated and sometimes
there is over Indulgence, or what is al
most as bad, over severity and lack of
sympathy.
Child Must Play.
There are parents in this world who
appear to think thatia child can work
all the time withoutcrecreation or play
of some sort. So long has he car
rieds on this work that most of the boys
in st. Paul know him, and the boy
who plays Craps is very careful not
to let Mr.. Wellington see him do so.
Sometimes he advises the removing
of the child from it's miserable or mere
ly unfortunate parents and has it sent
to the State. Public school at Owatonn
/ or sometimes, and this is saddening,
he realizes that the boy who is roaming
the streets and the half-grown wild girl
falling into bad company and finally.
convicted of slight criminal offenses,
needs restraint and removal from bad
company, and even home. and he sees
that it goes to the State Training
school at Red Wing. Older girls he
endeavors to have committed to the
House of Good Shepherd If they are
Maynard.
Sometimes his experiences are en-.
couraging, sometimes heartbreak:ng.
Z The bright and pleasant side is when
the wild and criminally inclined boy
returns to thank the society and show
that he has developed into a fine young
man and a good citizen, or the weak
willed girl e. the high road to death
and destructie n, sends her photograph

should the claim of the future citizen
who is fortunate enough to be endow-
ed with the full number of senses, and
with no criminal tendencies, be so neg
lected.
ITO reform the criminal and raise
the standard of attainment in the de-
fective child is good says the Child
Saving society, but why not begin at
the beginning and rescue those children
make them stand in great danger of
drifting into the ranks of the first
ciaSS?"

ing difficult children than the ordinary
mother and father.
The motto of the organization is
"Save the Child, Save the City, and
think what a city that would be whose
every citizen has received training in
the right direction. 1t must be ac-
knowledged, of course some would not
be much better than they are now, for
human nature is the same everywhere,
but there would be many, many less
on the wrong path. Half the trouble
with the incorrigible boy or girl is that
he or she is either underWorked, that
is not given sufficient work of an in
teresting nature to occupy his or her
time, or he or she is overworked in
some way that is uncongenial.
''The occupied child is the happy and
innocent child" says the society.
There is a certain amount of surplus
energy in all young animals whether
they be two-footed or four-footed that
must be worked off in some manner,
and if there is not interesting work
close at hand, then mischief will fol-
low. Never was there a truer saying
than that old one, Satan finds some
mischief still for idle hands to do, ex-
cept that it might be added that if
Satan does not find it then the idle
hands will go out of the way to find it
themselves.

Il was not long in discovering that
Mr. Tiffany had made a point of get

pose he had cultivated the acquaint-
ance of young man who lived at the
boarding house.
From the very first Mr.. Tiffany be-
gan to show me every attention, and in
little less than year after our for
NAL meeting we were married without
his fathers sanction. We were mar
ried in a little old-fashioned Methodist
church, away down town, and my hus-

to spend our honeymoon
My husband continued to work in

as he announced his marriage to the
family the alternative was placed be-

just as much pleasure to look at them,

such trinlxets.
