From the loud professions which

All the people of Boston are not

From the Bent County Deoocrsa
Mrs. I. L. Maxwell. the wife of
a leading business man of Lamar.
Colorado, has lately spent some
little time at the Cherry Tree
Home at Amity, Colorado. The
people of this town who have
helped this cause will be inter
ested 10 read Mrs. Maxwell's state
ment of the situation:
"We visited the Cherry Tres
Home at Amity, Colorado, at the
Invitation of Staff Capt. Benjamin,
who gave us a welcome peculiarly
her own. Under her escort We
made q tour of tho building.
Broad halls extend east and west
on both floors, affording conven-
lent entrance TO nearly every room
and dormitory in the house.
The inside is hard wood finishing
throughout. 1t is heated by
steam and has abundance of wat
er works. This is absolutely es-
sential to the health of the family.
and this alone makes it possible to
care for 90 many so successfully.
Everything is in perfect ocder and
spotletsly clean.
We spent the rest of the day
Saturday. in the sewing room
with the matron, Mrs. Hargreaves,
and there learned how much care
and time it takes to make and
mend for family of fifty children.
Supper and breakfast we ate in
the officers dining room, and Sum
days dinner We were privileged to
tske with the children. A bell, to
which they promptly respond,
calls them from work or play, to
gather in the two lavatories, where
thrice daily they prepare for meals.
(The two bath rooms on the upper
floor ale reserved for tub bathing
only.) All march to the dining
room and gracefully take their
places at the tables. After hymn
of thanks and word of grace by
one Of the children, all fall too
and eat heartily of a sumptuous
meal, and with perfect order and
table manners that would put
to shame many a child of careful
training. An officer at the head
and another at the foot of each
table help with bright, happy con-
versation.
We greatly enjoyed the after
dinner talk of Supt. Hargreaves,
giving as it did an inside light on
the lives of these lads before they
came to the Home. Every boy
had at one time used tobacco, but
not one of them touches it now.
Each was emphatic in saying he
had rather stay in the Home than
return to the big city. There is
evidence at every turn that the
work has gone deep. and as all
true work must. has touched the
hidden springs of life.
| On Sunday all wear the uniform
of grey, dresses for the girls with
dainty white aprons, and grey
blouse waists for the boys, who
are all small aud nearly all under
fourteen years of age.
The morning being stormy the
family stayed indoors. Mrs. Har-
greaves took this time to play with
the babies. Throughout our visit
We were pleased to note that the
Home children received just as
much loving attention, were as
we'll fed and had the same food as
this lady's own children.
