PURITY HOME CLOSED.
Mrs. Boggs Gives Up the Work and
Leaves.

The Purity Home for Children at
2127 Topeka avenue was closed last
week by it's founder and manager,
Mrs. F. L. Boggs. Family troubles
and the i'll health of Mrs. Boggs were
the causes for the suspension of this
work of caring for homeless children.
About a dozen children had been cared
for at this home since its conception
in November of last year. Some six
children were in the home last week
when it was closed, but Mrs. Boggs
found places for all of them except
one. little baby. She will remain in
Topeka until the little one has been
placed in good home and will then
go to Kansas City to stay with rela-
tives until she RECEIVERS her health.

could to prevent his residence being
turned into an orphans home, which
that she had "a call to do the Lords
work" and went ahead.
Speaking of the matter Mrs. Boggs
declared that recent slanderous stories
started about her recently by her hus-
band had determined her to leave
their home altogether. land 1 will
never go back she said. Mrs. Boggs
saws that her husband and certain
physicians in Topeka have threatened
and even tried to have her sent to the
asylum, alleging that she was de-
ranged in her mind.
Mrs. Boggs has shown capacity and
genius in conducting orphans home
work on the industrial or self SUSTAIN
ing plan and her home out on Topeka
avenue is a model of cleanliness, COM
fort and convenience: she was for
merly engaged in Crittenton home
work While an enthusiast on all re1i-
gious and philanthropic matters, Mrs.
Boggs does not give the impression OF
being inflicted with any mental trou-
BILE, but rather appears to be a hard
working, motherly woman with
shrewd business ideas about her
chosen work.

was ill. but gave no address which
might aid the parents in the search.
The postmark betrayed her where

He made vain inquiries of everyone
he met, but found no one who knew
her At last it was suggested to him
that he look in the theater. Chance
favored him.
He entered popular playhouse
with the intention of having the man
ager announce his quest from the
stage. This was not necessary. He
had no more than glanced over the
faces during an interim between the
acts when he saw his daughter few

down the aisle. But meanwhile the
curtain had raised and the sudden dis

spectators into the highest excitement.
Ushers crowded around Taylor, and
restrained him, while one went for
ward and announced the situation to
the audience
The old man. made happy by the re-
union. left the theater with joyful
smile leaning on his daughters arm.

ESPERANTO IS COMING.
The Government Has Given 1t Off
cial Recognition.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Esperanto
mas been recognized officially by the
United States government in the re-
cent appointment of Major Paul F..
Straub OF the army medical corps, to
represent this country in the fourth
International Esperanto congress. to
De, held at Dresden, Germany, Aug
ust 1922, 1908. Belgium was the first
nation to give its official recognition
to this remarkable language by send
ing Lieutenant Cardinal to the third
congress held at Cambridge, Eng. la ST
August.
The war department library was the
first institution in Washington to rec
ognlze the value of Esperanto as an
auxiliary language. and it began the
accumulation of Esperanto literature
in January. 1906. The Washington
esperanto society was organized in the
spring of 1907. Its presidents thus
far have been James w. Cheney. libra
r1an of the war department., and Chas.
w. Stewart, superintendent of the nav
al war records and library, both of
whom hold certificates given to those
who have passed the advanced exam
ination of the British Esperanto asso-
citation. l
Esperanto has taken firm root
throughout the world. This is indicat-
ed by the number of groups formed in
various countries and the diversity of
their scope and composition. BY its
advocates, Esperanto is destined to be-
come one of the most important fac
tors of the worlds progress. At the
end of December. 1907, the total num-
Der of Esperanto schools and societies
throughout the world was 753 AT
the present time the total is practical
ly 1000. A proof of the progress of
the Esperanto movement is the con-
slant appearance of new Esperanto
periodicals. On June rs last there
were fifty-f1ve Esperanto gazettes,
most of them monthlies, an increase
of eleven over the number of Deem
Der. 1907.
In Bohemia the postmaster general
has authorized the use of Esperanto
in kilograms on an equal footing with
European modern languages. In Jap
an. Count Hayashi. minister of foreign
affairs. has accepted the honorary
presidency of the japanese Esperanto
association. and in a public letter, has
recommended that his countrymen
take up Esperanto. which he calls the
gospel Of the world.
