self manifest on Washingtons Birth
day, when Y mother stopped at the
door of Mrs Herman Horn, wife of Il

on kukui street She is an Austria
liam woman and was deserted by her
husband some ten months ago, since
which time she has been trying to
keep the bodies and souls of herself
and two children together with what
little employment she could obtain.
Nearly every cent that the mother
earned was paid to another woman
to look after her two children while
she was away at her employment.
When conditions became such that
Mrs. Jacobsen could Sc. nothing ahead
for her children but death from neg
lect and possibly starvation, she sin
rlcd out Mrs. Horn as she was passing
her home on School street, and, rush
ing up to her, held out the little
bundle and asked her if she didn't
want a baby Mrs. Hon took it from
her and has kept it ever since, ana
although she asked the mother to come
daily and see it, the latter has not yet
done so,
In honor of the day on which she
first saw it, Mrs. Horn has named the
baby Martha Washington Horn.
