At HoIlenbeek Home
by the middle of the afternoon we
were i'm the dining room Of the Hollen-
beck home for old people. Some in
chairs and some perched ON table,

us that SO many children are anxious
to get rid of their old parents. Almost
daily we have such cases brought to
our notice, where children well able to
take care of their parents try to get

cants must have at least 5000 to be
admitted and what property they have
above that up to $4,000 is made over to
the home, with interest payable to
them until death. In this way we are
able to keep a nice class of people with
US, instead of having everybody, as
we would if admission were perfectly
free"
