BABY FOR CHRISTMAS.
That Is Mrs. Thorpes' Present
to Orphans Home.

A strange Christmas gift was sent to
the Orphans home this morning by
Mrs. Thorpe, police matron. It was a
week-old baby girl, which had been de-
serted by it's mother.
Mrs. Thorpe was called to 315 Tyler
street this morning by a telephone mes
sage, in which she was informed that a
girl at that place was about to desert
her infant, which was only q week old.
Mrs. Thorpe went at once to the place
and found things as had been stated
by the informant. The young mother
had left the child in the basement, and
was preparing to leave. She was a
young working girl, pretty and intelli-
gent. She admitted to Mrs. Thorpe that
she was unable to take care of the child
and agreed to give it up forever. Had
she failed to make this promise Mrs.
Thorpe would have arrested her for
abandonment
IT never insist, in such cases, on the
mother taking her child" said Mrs.
Thorpe. Il know that it is the child

and sent it to the Orphans home. The
Christmas tree was set up at the home
today. and little Ruth, for that is the
name given the infant by it's mother.
was Mrs. Thorpe's present to the home.
About the same time that Mrs.
Thorpe was called to take charge of
little Ruth, Chief McCollum was noti-
fed that a man and his wife who had
furnished rooms at 313 Tyler street,
separated from the birthplace of little
Ruth by wall only, were going away
and deserving a fourteen sold
baby girl. The chief went at once to
the place and learned that the man
and his wife were gone, and had left
the child with. an elderly woman down
near the Rock Island yards, promising
to come back after it later. McCollum
went at once TO the Santa Fe depot
and from a very meagre description of
the persons wanted, found them in the
act of leaving town. At least the wo-
man was leaving, as she had ticket
| for Syracuse, Kansas. The man said
he was not going away, and was only
sending his wife, who was sick. They
stated that the child had been adopted
by them about a year ago from the
Crittenden home, when it was two
months old. They said that when the
foster-mother became sick she could
not care for the child, and they were
compelled to leave it. The woman was
allowed to go on to Syracuse but the
man was taken back to Third and
Tyler and his story investigated. II
was found substantially correct, and
he was let go. He said his name was
Bremen.
