| do not want a newspaper tilt but I
wish to say to "Polly" that / think
Mr.. Trimear probably did the best he
could when he gave those children
away if he selected good homes for
them. / lost my wife and kept nv
three babies three years Being a moor
man my means gave ont and should I
have put those babies in the house and
shut the door and went to work and
risk the chances of their getting burn
ed to death, or would | leave them at
large to go where they wished to get
run over by the train or drowned? No.
did not do that. | selected good
homes for them and go to see them.
They are where they get good advice
and where they can learn to be useful
and handy. Suppose, aunt Polly,"
that had kept those little girls until
they had grown to wOmanhood, and
having to be away to earn them a liv-
| ing, they would have been imposed ON
| by all the tramps and outlaws of the
| country, and think if you will con-
slider you will see that You spoke too
| hasty.
"Uncle Gid,"I am sorry those pref
| ty girls are so hard to please The Sc
| X.
