A Baby'S Cry.

An excursion train lay on siding.
The only sounds were the throb Of
the air-brake, the murmur of the
holiday seekers, the cry of the boy
with peanuts. Into this buzz broke
the shriIl wall of little baby.
Wouldn't you think a mother
would have sense enough to keep
her kid at home and not bring it
on a trip like this?" asked young
man of an elder. 81 would, indeed, ~
was the reply The car-full nodded.
That conversation and the accom-
panying mods were proof that none
of us know 1T all. Our good friends
who were off to enjoy the caIliope,
shoot the shutes, roll on skates
around a crowded pavilion, and
otherwise get close TO nature, saw
only one side to their question. And
this was a case where the contro-
versy might be said to have two, or
three, or four.
Would that car-full have kept the
poor, tired, half-sick young mother
at home altogether? Never Yet
the only way open to her, as she
planned for that trip. was to take
her little one along.
She knew the child would be
heavy. She apprehended the long,
long day OF wrecked routine in the
little life. She had expected that
cry, with ner heart sick at the
thought of it, from the hour after
she and the babe had set off with
their sturdy young husband and
( father. Yet she must endure it, and
the baby must endure ii, and the
| others in the car must endure it,
or her life must never know a days
variation, her horizon never lift
from the end of the paved street in
which the family lives out its cir
cumscribed existence.
How little a thing would have
solved her difficulty, we wiser ones
know. We could have arranged with
neighbor. You take our baby
today, and well take care of yours
when you want to go way"
But suppose there was no neigh
Dor? Or suppose the neighbor's
/ husband was off from the works the
same day? Or suppose-and every
one in the world hasn't our courage
in asking fayors-suppose this little
girl, grown old before her time, did
not dare to ask?
Well, then let the organized chart
ties provide her with holiday.
That's so. Why not? That's a
good thought.
OF course the woman and her
husband may not like charity any
more than we do. If that's the
case, let them get over it. Of course.
