HOW BABY MARIAN
 FINDS GOOD HOME

Not because I do not love her, but be- cause l do love her. said Marian's mother when she resigned her baby T can suffer. but I cannot let her suffer. Take her. And so Marian became charge of the Missouri children's Home Society.
 Marian was born in St. Louis, October s. 1906, and is, therefore, little more than l. months old. If she had been born in a real home she would have been petted and talked to and fused over and she would have been enddled in fond arms for Marian is as exquisite a baby as ever was born. Her birth took place Tn city hos pital for month or more before she came into this world her father died. He was hard-worlSing respectable Amer iean mechanic, but after the expenses of his illness and his funeral had been paid. the young widow found herself almost penniless She went to the city hospital. and when her babe was a fortnight old the mother and child went out into the great, wide world. There many things to be done in such circumstances if one is well and strong and has an etu- eation many friends, kin and financial resources. Marian's mother had none Of these. She knew too well what became Of the babies of factory mothers. The streets are the playground of the child as soon as the walking age comes, and the days are full of neglect, evil sights, evil sounds and evil associations. The mother of Mar ian could not face this for her fathefless child. So when Marian was less than a month old she became an institution child.
 In the February number of The Delin- eator, her picture and story appeared. The first letter which came offered a homs for both mother and baby but Marian's mother had fought her battle and had decided to give her child the best chance iil life that offered Although the appl- cations were many. the superintendent cautiously withheld any information con- corning the placement Of the little girl until 1t was absolutely, certain. And when t was accomplished, he sent portion of letter from her foster-mother.
 Marian has been very warmly well comed by friends and relatives. All con gratulatons first for her and then for us. The ride was rather strenuous for me-. but Marian enjoyed it. and arrived ! home feeling fine. She is thriving and when we have her picture taken we will i send you one. My husband bought her a fine go-cart in which she is taking her first ride with him this morning. We ex- pect to keep her."
 The home to which she has been taken is beautiful one not only from the ma teral standpoint, but in harmony of splr- l 1t and in opportunity for the girl entrusted ] to its care The herolsm of the mother Of Marian will receive its reward.

Drops 25oo Feet and Lives.

San Francisco Cor. Los Angeles Times.
 At 25O0 feet above the Berkeley foothills, Aeronaut Joseph Randall, who ascended in a hot-air balloon from 1dora park this afternoon, failed in his effort to cut loose his parachute from the immense bag above him, which, emptied of air, acted as q weight that carried him to earth with dizzy rapidity.
 He landed in the brush at the bottom of a gulsh below the Contra Costa tunnel, escaping with a few bruises.
 Several thousand people saw the aero- naut ascend to the clouds, and gave cries of alarm when the balloon collapsed and began to carry him downward. Randall was unable to cut loose from the immense lag because the rope reaching upward to the knife which sewers the parachute from the balloon became tangled The outfit made lightning speed to the earth.
 reief party with a wagon drove out in haste to the scene of the descent, ex- pecting to find the aeronaut injured by falling upon tree or rock, but he had landed in the underbrush with a few bruises.

alleged order, with the clerk of the court for the Northern district of Ala bama on Sunday night gave life and legal effect thereto. The mere filing of a paper cannot add life or validity to a void and illegal act. To hold otherwise, would be to clothe the clerk who filed it with judicial power.
 now come to the consideration If the furhter action of the learned judge in proceeding to the government build ing in the city of Birmingham on the morning of June i, at about o'clock and signing and filing what purports to be an order of this court, appointing Alex C. Birch a referee in bankruptcy. and specifying that his term of office shall begin on May 30, two days pre- ceeding. An effort is made therein to ratify the first appointment made in Montgomery, May 30, and the filing of the same on Sunday night, May 31. It is evident from reading the order of June 1 that an attempt is made therein to relieve the order made by the learned judge on May 30 from an application of the rule of law settled and decided in the Steele case, supra, and the many auth critics cited herein. The act of the learned judge in seeking to make an order of this court on June l, while the judge of this court was at the time engaged in holding a term thereof in another division of this district, pre- sents strange and anomalous situa- ton. as is shown by the records of this court, and by the decision and opinion of the learned judge himself. On the first day of November, 1907, l appointed Nenian l.. Steele, Esquire, referee in bankruptcy for the Southern division of the Northern district of Alabama, and on the 9th day of November, 1907. the learned judge had an order entered removing said Steele, and revoking an annulling the former order made Dy me appointing him. At the time this order of removal and revocation was
