Aunt Sally returned home without

her face and a song in her heart, but
that benign state didn't last long. First
came a constable with the news that
he had recovered the plumber. 1t had
been found in the hay NOW of the

lodged the night of the robbery. He
was followed by messenger from the
Justice of the peace that the honest
peddler had made a confession. A

There was one more announcement

to eXclaim:
-"Aunt Sally, some one stole our bay

Jerome also kept out an answer TO a
question as to whether after the re-

The line of examination was then
changed and Mrs. Thaw was asked to

J. N. MOORMAN TO
SUCCEED HARDNESS
The Head of Whites Institute
Resigns on Account of
Failing Health.

UNDER SUPERINTENDENT HARk.

MADE SPLENDID RECORD

John H. Johnson yesterday attended
the called meeting at Anderson, of the
board of directors of Whites Institute,
at which the designations of Mr.. and
Mrs. John o. Hardness, the superin-
tendent and matron of the home were
received and accepted. James NJ.
Moorman and wife OF Winchester,
Ind, were selected to succeed Mr.. and
Mrs. Hardness.
Owing to the strain and worry in the
management of the incorrigible boys
located at the institute, the health of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Hardness was af-
fected to such an extent that they
deemed it advisable to leave the work,
they having been connected with the
home for more than four years. Mr..
Hardness is bordering on nervous
prostration and his physicians advis.
ed him to Immediately leave the work
as they feared for the worst. Mr..
and Mrs. Hardness were probably the
most popular superintendent ever
having jurisdiction at the home and
it was not without regret that the
board of trustees decided to accept
their designations. Mr.. Hardness is
a man of means, and soon after Ieav-
ing Earlham college, of which school
he is a graduate. he was induced to
take charge of the home. The insti-
tute has grown rapidly and has be-
come state orphanage. The waits
of more than twenty counties are
cared for at the institution, many OF
them being incorrigibles of the worst
character.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hardness will re-
tire to their home near Hudson, Mich.
In speaking of the successors to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hardness, Mr.. Johnson
yesterday said that they were thor.
oghly capable as Mr.. and Mrs. Moor
man have for the past seven years
with a high degree of sue !
cess, the Norman Orphans home
near Winchester. The board of trus-
tees feel that the selection for super |
and matron could not be /
improved, as Mr.. and Mrs. Norman /
are loved and respected, and will no
doubt be appreciated by the two hun /
dred boys confined at the home. The !
board also feels flattered that it was T
able to get the services of two peo-
pie who have been so closely indenti-
fed with the work.
