Here is the little band out at the
Orphans Home of Spokane, E10
Liberty avenue, about which SO
much has been said lately. They
were all there with the exception
of there musings too tiny even to
have their pictures taken in the
open air. There were more, but
eight have ben recently adopted.
Reading from left to right, the
home officials responsible for the
children's care are Kittle Patrick,
nurse girl, who is not at the home
now; Mrs. Dey, superintendent; D.
H. Robertson, who acts as treas
urer, bookkeeper and all round
hustler; Mrs. Minnie M. Williams
Second from Robertson), assistant
superintendent; Mrs. Jessie Peter
son, matron. The size and ages of
the homeless cared for range from
the girl standing beside Robertson
and one on the extreme right down
to the little ones that couldn't be
brought from their warm beds.
Each of the children is the victim
of somebody's misfortune or sin.
Each ones story is sad enough, and
taken together their obscure little
lives make a big volume common
tary on human misery and error.
But they all rank the same under
Mrs. Dey's care, except that the
little minds that have been most
darkened by heritage or mistreat-
ment command the most patience;
and little bodies that have been
abused the tenderest care.
The records of this handful con-
tain enough to shake the state with
the wrongs done children, yet the
home is merely one of the smallest
of countless such institutions that
modern inhumanity makes neces-
sary. At the present rate there
must be many, many more, and

poses CHASTITY proportion of the

to force itself into the prominence
of a national issue before many
years. Women like Mrs. Dey, who
