Want To Sell A Baby.

r. D. Hall, superintendent of
the North Dakota -Children's
Home society, has sent the fol-
lowing notice to the press of the
state:
For the past two or three
months two women have Been
travelling the lines Of the North
ern Pacific and 500 roads, claim
ing to represent a children's
home in Seattle, WASH, and hav-
ing with them a small infant for
whom they protested to be an
xious tosecure a home in a family.
They worked east from Dickin-
son to jamestown, then north on
the Jamestown Northern branch.
and then changed onto the 500
road and have lately been heard
from at Monango. A letter from
a well known lady at this point
to Rev. G. A. Mcnamara has
come into my hands, and states
that they were at that point
several days and asked every
body they saw if they did wish
to buy a baby for $50. The letter
adds, 'They certainly were
fakirs."
The law of the state provides
that solicitors for benevolent in
situations in other states who de-
sire to solicit in this state shall
procure from the state examiner
a license after he has examined
the methods of work of the in
stitution. The law excerpts Sis
ters of charity, Salvation Army
workers., or others wearing a
special garb, and the representa-
tives of UNCONVENTIONAL missions.
Business men in this state
have paid money to these women
and at the same time have been
reasonably sure of their being
frauds, but say they found it the
cheapest way to get rid of them.
People should demand to see the
license Of every solicitor for in
situations outside the state, with
exceptions noted above. These
women have coined money in this
state, and now that their pass has
expired will doubtless seek other
fields and the poor child, if it has
survived being dragged all over
the state, will be used elsewhere
to excite sympathy. If these
people can still be located, this
society will gladly provide a
home for the babe.

Difficulties overwhelmed a certain

with a new idea of mire for fasten-

man. 1t was a terrible blow. When
the king heard of my misfortune he
said: Poor little fellow, poor little

and not only gave me an order, but
saw that I had orders from other
members of the royal family

Americas Catholic Population.

At the present moment the Catholic

Catholic population of the Philippines
and Porto Rico the Catholic popula-
