HE FOUND A HOME.
Little NVaif Who Drifted Into Topeka
Has Friends

When the snow and rain We're doing
their best this morning to make the
day a nfserab BILE one a little pickanin-
ny, hardly more than baby found his
way to the police station and shivering
stood about on the outside wet and
cold. He was a manly little fellow
scracely 10 years of age and hesitated
about entering the room filled with big
blue-coated policemen until he was
thoroughly chilled.
Then he approached a passerby and
told him his troubles. His father and
mother were both dead and he wanted
to reach Winfield where a friend of the
family had promised him a home. he
said. He had been at work for a doc
tor in st. Joseph who had let him go
because he was not heavy enough te
care for the work about his office.
He was directed to the office of Poor
commissioner Hale who promised to
send him as far on his way as Emporia
but that is still long ways from his
destination and friends The little fell
low who gave the name of Claude Ort-
man was dressed as clean, spick and
span as new pin and his language
was the best.
AS he told his story the court house
officials became interested in him and
he was taken to Deputy County Treas
ured Wright who interested Henry
Monroe and Charles Lytle, deputy mar
shal of the city court in the case. The
long distance telephone was called into
service and the story of the little fei-
low verified. His friend in Win
spoke we'll of him and offered to care
for him if he was sent to that city
Charles Lytle thought well enough Of
the little orphan to take him to his
home where he will be fed and clothed
and sent to school if he cares to re-
main in Topeka and in case he does
not he will be sent on to his friend il
Winfield by his new found friends.

past few days spent the day busily
preparing their advance to the Unit

ranged to sail next Saturday on the

cording to fragmentary wireless re-
ports, was still delayed at Battle
Harbor, Labrador, probably either
awaiting completion of repairs to the

Herbert Lasman, Peary's chief
backer, reached Sydney today and
Mrs. Clay who also meet explorer at
Sydney left here late on her way
north early in the day. Both expect
to greet Peary on Saturday, although
the long and thus far unexplained
delay at Battle Harbor may make
necessary a change in their plans.

It is regretted that there were. not

disappointed. In congratulating; the

hearty thanks to all the workers for
the hard work they have done for

The contest manager has endeav-
ored to treat all contestants with the
utmost courtesy; to show no favor to
any individual contestant not shown
to others, and in fact, to run the con-
test absolutely on the square. When
we opened up the special offer on ex-
ira votes, it was opened up to every

study. Every contestants coupons
have been fled for future reference.
We can check absolutely every con,
testant from start to finish. No ball
lots or newspaper coupons will be de,
stroyed for six months, and any con-
testant is at liberty during this time
to check over the results of the con-
test. Had it not been for this COM

A SONG IN THE NIGHT.

Seven men were buried beneath
thousands of tons Of rock which fell
without a moments warming in a
Cornish tin mine.
Willing hands soon began the work
of rescue, though all despaired of
finding any one alive. Their worst
fears were not quite realized. One
man was found and was removed
from his comrades uninjured. the
rocks having formed an arch over
him.
After two days the men who were
at work. having been greatly encour-
aged by finding one man alive, called
very loudly TO ascertain whether 9TH
ers were alive and could speak. One
man answered. He was an active
Christian, Sunday school superin-
tendent.
Are you alone?" asked some one.
No; Christ is with me-" was the
answer.
Are you injured?" was the next
question.
Yes, replied the imprisoned man,
my legs are held fast by something"
Then In feeble voice he sang:
Abide with me! Fast falls the even
tlde,
The darkness deepens-Lord, with
me abide,
When other helpers fail. and com
forts flee.
Help of the helpless, o bide with me.
They heard no more from him.
Two days later they found him with
his legs crushed by n huge rock
which rested on them. but it was
known from his life and his last
words that he had gone to be for
ever with the Lord
When he was buried his funeral
was attended by hundreds of people.
According to the local custom, they
carried the caslset through the streets
with their hands; and on tba way to
the cemetery, and also at the grave
side, his favorite hymns were sung.
All were weeping as they finally sang
the hymn which was last upon his
lips, abide with me-" and many felt
the desire of their own hearts ex-
pressed in the words. I'm life. in
death. o Lord. abide with me. -
Kind Words.
