ers and annually contribute to it's sup
port.
The organization was the outgyowth
OF a home for the protection of the
little ones who ara unfortunately
without proper care, established by
the present superintendent, w. B.
sherrard, IN 1893. It's growth has
been phenomenal. During that period
1855 homeless children have been
cared for, many OF them having been
placed in homes and educated, and
to-day living lives of usefulness in
various sections Of the state. Some
are school teachers, some are married,
and all are comfortable and happy.
having been saved from a life of
shame and degradation through the
Eod-loving, God-fearing benevolence
Of the good people in charge Of the
home. 1t Is not the intention of this
article to go into the details OF the
work, but more particularly tc call
the attention Of the public to the
splendid home which has been erected
and is the property free from all in
cumbrance Of the society,". and built
entirely by free contributions, mainly
through the personal effort Of the
superintendent /. 1t is the earnest de-
sire of Mr.. Sherrard that the, home
become self-supporting, and he has
received several gifts to be set aside
as an endowment for that purpose, in
fact, the society now owns three
farms given to it by philanthropic
citizens of South Dakota.
The placing of children is one Of the
difficult problems that constantly con-
fronts the organization. They are
never permanently settled in their
new homes until the management is
fully satisfied that the foster parents,
as well as the child, can become rec
onciled to each other. This feature
is difficult, but so successfully is it
handled that few of the children
placed ever come back for replace
ment. Just now the society is in need
of homes for a few bright youngsters.

intimate position that Miss Taylor has
been occupying at the home of Mrs.
Blossom, and afraid that she would in

SAW THIEF'S LIGHT
PHONES SISTER "a BUR-
GLARS IN YOUR HOUSED"
Levy Home, in Stanley Ave-, Vacant
Entered-Frightened Marauder Left
Bag Under Window.

Operating in dwellings, temporarily
vacant, with the aid of artificial light
after dark has proved a failure to
several second story burglars within
the Fourth Precinct section during the
past week. In three cases arrests have
been made and the intruders held in
heavy bail, and in other cases the
looters were scared away without OBJ
taining any booty. 1t was the latter
case last night when a second-story
man entered the house of Robert Levy,
s4 Stanley avenue.
The Levy family had been away the
greater part of the summer, but yes
terday afternoon Mrs. Levy returned
to prepare for the family's return two
weeks hence. When she left at $40
last evening she found everything Sc
cure. and one window screen in par
ticular fitted rear window which
overlooked the porch. About an hour
after, while dining at the home or a
friend, Mrs. Levy was called TO the
telephone by her brother, who told her
that a burglar had entered her house
by taking out the screen mentioned.
Mrs. Levy tefephoned to police head
quarters and word was also sent to
the Fourth Precinct station, and the
reserves of that station arrived, fol-
lowed by Captain CarrolPs men, and
discovered a pair of we'll shoes
the stranger left in place of new pair
which he stole, and in addition discov-
cred a canvas bag underneath rear
window
Mrs Levy's brother was passing the
formers home, accompanied by a
friend. and remarked, That's where
nv sister lives" AS he glanced at the
house he saw light, and knowing that
no one was at home, he communicated
with his sister. BY this time. how
ever. the thief made his escape, and
when the police arrived had disap-
peared from the neighborhood
Detective Sergeant Horter, visiting
near the Levy home, and Elmer Free
land. clerk of the First Criminal Court.
who lives nearby, heard cries of "A
burglar! a burglari" They ran to the
house. but arrived too late to encoun-
ter the thief.
When Mrs Levy reached the house
she found that nothing had been taken,
nor even disarranged.
Captain Walter S. Harrison, of En-
CINE Company No. II, denied today
that his men received word that there
was a fire at the Levy residence, and
that they responded. Battalion Chief
Matthew P. A. .McDermitt also denied
that any of the companies west OF
High street responded to the alleged
report that there was a fire.
The Fourth Precinct police have an
other robbery to investigate. Morris
Kapplan, who conducts a secondhand
furniture store at 165 Broome street
visited the police station today and
told Sergeant Suchard that his place
had been entered some time between
Monday night and yesterday, and thai
four chairs, two rocking chairs, an ice
box, a showcase, an overooat and some
upholsterers' tools were stolen.
