There they found that the child
had had both feet burned off, and
had an ugly cash in the head.
A young boy, also an adopted
child, related the following story
to the officers:

feelings of Clara Kolbs were is not

It is not an invariable rule that
people of culture alone can turn a

have that art. It is related that

man of large build, German descent

one of the orders given by Mr., Cnn-
mfngs. "At the end OF ten days
call and I'll let you know as to the
future. You shall receive 10 cents
a shine"
The German agreed. When he
called for the shoes the second
morning he found that they had
not been worn. The brilliancy re-
Isulting his previous effort was still
there. On the third day Mr.. Cum
innings showed silver dollar into
