KIND FRIENDS
TO AID EMMA

Emma Small is still seeking her
mother, the woman who ran away
with the quarter-blooded French In
dian, August 10, leaving a husband
and four children at Oswego. Ore
Should Emma desire to rest in Spo-
kane awhile before continuing her
search. The Press has been able to
secure for her the opportunity to
share the beautiful home of a refined
lady. But it should not be forgotten
that Emma has home and an indul-
gent father. 1t is not. then, likely
that the kind intentions of Spokane
friends will be realized. The fact re-
mains that Emma Small's sad and
startling story, as exclusively mar
rated in The Press, has attracted wide
spread attention. Many a heart in
Spokane has been touched.
Word has come to The Press that
Mrs. Smith kilbury, 914 Mansfield
avenue. is much interested in Emma S

mother Mrs. Kilbury wants to do
something for Emma and will even
allow her to share her splendid home

of the deserted children.
With unusual spiritual insight into
this worlds affairs. for so young
girl. she sees that it is her duty to
reconcile father and mother. and. If
possible. win back the lost affection.
Hence, she probably will not stop in
Spokane. She will press on.
