ORPHANS CHRISTMAS

For the past week the little children of
the Orphans Home have been playing at
Christmas tree. They secured a small
evergreen tree, from which they suspended
broken dolls, pieces of candle and any
other plaything they possessed
Many of these children have never heard
about Santa Claus, or have a very vague
conception OF what they name means
Nevertheless, they enter into the spirit
with childish glee when the Christmas tree
and Santa Claus are explained to them.
This morning while the children of better
homes were almost wild with joy over
their gifts, the little orphans were show
ing their presents, for number of boxes
were yesterday consigned to Mrs. Wool
sey 1915 North street, who is matron at
the home. Out of the thirty-6ye children,
eighteen have no parents, at least none
of whom they know. The other seventeen
are children of parents too poor to care
for them.

OF me then ii L thought we could save
her. but not a bit OF satisfaction did he
get out OF me. we got some sail on her
