USHER IN A KANSAS CITY RAIL-
WAY STATION is GREATLY AS
TONISHED AT FIND MADE IN
A BOX.

Kansas City, Mo-. Jan. 20.-A baby
girl three days old was found at the
Union depot Thursday night wrapped
in flannels and slowed away in a
shirtwaist box. 1t was almost dead
from hunger. The pox was first seen
in the morning on a bench. Ushers
in the depot passed it by because they
thought it was someone's baggage.
Later in the day the benches were
filled and passengers, picking up the
box, put it on a window shelf
AS the day ushers were leaving for
their homes one noticed the box. "It
is the same box that was there this
morning." he said Il guess had bet
ter take it to the lost article room. "
They opened the box to see if the
baggage was good enough to adver-
tise. What they saw was faded red
skirt and some other clothing. "You
might as well throw it into the trash
can" one of the ushers suggested.
But the usher pulled the skirt out,
and when he uncovered five little toes
sticking out of the rags he nearly
dropped the box He then uncovered
the baby's face.
After a trained nurse had fed the
baby in the rooms of Mrs. ]. X. Ell
wood, police matron at police head
quarters, it was stronger and made
several good attempts to cry. Later it
was taken to the general hospital. DR..
lie Mar believes the baby will live.
