NOTHING TOO SMALL TO STEAL.

suit brought by the board Of
children's guardians for posses

ter Of Mrs Lulu Hadley, the wo-
mar who refused to make Booker
T. Washington's bed, the child
and its father were on the wit
ness stand. The board charged
cruelty and neglect. The child
testified that she did not like her
stepmother because she was cruel
to her, but her father was always
kind. Mr.. Hadfey also testified
to his wife's .mistreatment Of the
child and said he had separated
from her because of her cruelty
to the child.
Will her southern admirers send her
money for the way she has treated the
little girl? like they did because she
refused to make the bed that had been
occupied by Prof. Washington. We
5thonght at one time perhaps Mrs. Had
ley had few atoms OF common sense,
but from the position she had Chat OF

has treated her child shows that her

send money to such q type Of woman.
