MI Beatrice Minor and Robert
Marcy met. was confirmed, If
unacknowledged matchmaker. She
had often told Beatrice it actually
made her own heart ache to see her
living such a lonely life.
she, therefore, considered it de-
lightful coincidence that the widow and
the widower should appear at her little
afternoon at home" at the same time
Robert Marcy was one of the few men
who attend afternoon teas. During his
wife's lifetime he had done so only
very occasionally with her, and always
under vigorous and strongly expressed
protest-protest which sometimes had
brought tears to her eyes
While ne looked into Beatriees eyes
she noted especially his flashing smile
and fine, regular teeth. ana remem-
bered that Toms mouth had always
been homely, and that his teeth had
been quite irregular. That was why
she had urged him to wear mustache.
which, of course. he declined to do But
Il was only her subconscious mind that
recalled these facts, for she was chat
ting meanwhile with her new acquain-
lance and with her hostess.

Then several other people came in
and the pair drifted to different parts

her goodbye
1t has been q pleasure to meet you,

feel grateful to our dear hostess for
inviting me TO dine here with you next
week. | hope that nothing will inter

Il have heard nothing Of the affair
said Beatrice. Il may. very possibly be
engaged for every night next week
She felt chill of resentment that
Helen Robbins should make an ar
rangement with any man to meet her
at dinner without first consulting her.
In fact, she considered it somewhat of
an mperdnence OF course Mr. Marcy
could not know this, but she would tell
Helen what she thought of it.
she wondered if the man in question
did not suspect what Helen was about,
and if he thought that she a widow of
only two years was party to the plan.
Even though she had decided in her in
ward soul that if she ever met a man
Who was worth while she might marry
again that was her own affair; but for
another woman to think such a.thing of
her. and TO go so far as to show that
she was thinking it. was most indeii-

She was reused from her reflections

A WORD
From The Mayor Relative To
A ChiIdfen'S Home
Shows The True Condition
Of Affairs In The City
Mt. Vernon, o., Jan. 81.

MT. vernon, o., Jan. 81.
Editor Banner:
As mayor of the city OF Mt. Vernon,
wish to say that the plight of the
May children is only one of the many
deplorable cases that come to the no
tice Of the police court every day.
There are number of wretched
homes in Mt. Vernon where there are
children whose father or mother, and
sometimes both, should be sent to the
workhouse or punished in some other
way, but the first question the officer
must face is the disposition OF the chill
dren.
Now these children haven't a home
in any sense of the word, yet they
have shelter, place where they can
KEEP from freezing. Many of them are
only half clothed, and few have
enough to eat. 1t is impossible for a
child to grow up in such surroundings
and become good citizens. The things
they witness every day and night in
these phases would make the best
child bad.
Now who will say that we do not
need a county children's home? If we
had such home where we could place
these wretched little ones then we
could compel the parents to conduct
thtmselves in an orderly way or spend
a term in the workhouse.
Now which is cheaper? When we
look at If from a business standpoint
TO take the money that we alreaedy
have, and which we can use for no
other purpose, and provide a chill
dren's nome where these children can
be brought up under conditions that
will make of them good law abiding
citizens, or allow them to remain
where they are to follow in the foot
steps of their immoral and law break.
ing parents. And finally to be hauled
into police court to be prosecuted,
thus spending the money of the tax
payers of Knox county.
Let us not delay the establishment
of this home any longer. Let us say
to these innocent children, you shall
have a chance to grow up lady of a
gentleman--to hold an honored place
in society which God intended you
should.

THE SUN
Of $4,000 Available For
Building ChildrGn'S Home
So Home Should Be Built At
Once Says Senator HOuCk
Mt. Vernon, O., Jan. 81

Mt. Vernon, o., Jan. 81
Editor Of Banner:
cannot refrain longer from saying
something, to the public, in the inter-
est of children's home for Knox
county.
We boast OF our loyalty, patriotism
and Christian attributes, and at the
same time neglect, fatherless and
homeless children.
Our county as to wealth and finan-
cial conditions ranks fourth among the
counties of Ohio, but we send our
babes and orphans to sister counties
to be cared for, reared, educated and
prepared for citizenship, because we
have no place for them.
Have we not the spirit of charity
and benevolence that our sister coun-
ties possess? Do we not want to pro-
vide for our own unfortunate ones?
Yes, l am sure we do, and the reason
we have not already prepared for them
is because by our indifference we have
failed to act, and no one has taken the
iniative-we have all been too busy!
We are all in favor of it, but we have
kept silent.
We need no taxation at this time to
build home, as we now have the sum
of (S14,000) Fourteen Thousand in the
hands Of the Board of Trustees of the
old home and other sources, that is
ready to be turned over to our coun-
ty commissioners when they take the
necessary legal steps to build the
home. This money cannot be used for
any other purpose. This $4,000 prop
erly expended will build home that
will be a credit to our county and en-
tire citizenship. and then we will not
be compelled to hide our faces in
shame, when inquired of as to how
and where we care for our orphans.
We are justly proud of our Home
for the Aged, which was established
by and has been SO ably and faithfully
maintained, supported and conducted
by the loyal and charitable women Of
our city and county Cannot the
"sterner sex" get come inspiration
from these women and see to 1t that
home for our homeless children is
provided?
We have the money-$14, 900, why
not use It for place for the care and
nurture of the unfortunate who are not
able to provide for themselves?
We have board of county commits
sioners who have the power and au.
thority to use this money for the
erection of such home, and IL they
will act the work will be accomplished.
Let us urge them to do SO at once
not next year, but this year-now.
Let us all work and stand together
for a children's home for Knox coun-
ty, and when it is erected and dedicat-
ed, we will feel proud of it, and then
in spirit and in truth we will be our
children's keeper
Sincerely,
LEWIS B. HOUCK.

Makes A Short Speech To
Citizens Of Mt. Vernon
Greeted By Big Crowd At
Pennsylvania Station
Much Cheering When Presl-
dent Appeared On Plat.
form Of His Private Car

For the first time In many years a
president Of the United States was In
Mt. Vernon.
President Taft was a visitor In Mt.
Vernon four minutes Wednesday aft
ernoon.
His private car "coionia" was at
ached to the Pennsylvania train due
In Mt. Vernon at 2:03 o'clock. The
train was on time In reaching Mt. Yer
non and big crowd Of citizens assem-
bIed at the station to catch sight Of
the president.
AS the train stopped here President
Taft came out on the rear platform of
his car and was greeted with tremend-
GUS cheering by the crowd.
Standing bare-headed on the plat
form the president stated that he felt
very much honored by the fact that
such multitude of citizens had assem-
bled.
The president said, II am just taking
a look from one side Of the state to the
other to see how things are. OF course
there're clouds, but expect them all
to pass away"
The president spoke of the fact that
his voice was in poor condition be-
cause of so many speeches recently.
In closing he expressed his thanks for
the interest shown by the Mt. Vernon
people in his behalf and in turn wish
ed much success and prosperity to
the people of this city
The president shook hands with but
one person in the city-Hon. H. H.
Greer.

Children MOiherleSS And Faith.
ef Locked Up 10 Jail
Little Ones Without Any Food
And A Home
Other Items OF Interest From
Temple Of Justice

Another illustration of an absolute
need of a children's home in Knox
county was brought to light on Tues
day evening.
The story is a most pitiful one.
The mother is dead. The father was
arrested in the afternoon for burglary.
The father has three little children
residing in Fairview addition, South
Vernon. The oldest is IL years and
the youngest is 6. The father and
three children lived in small house
with one stove to keep them warm.
The father was placed in Jail.
After dark, Juvenile officer Purcell
remembered that there were three lit
tie children at home. He went to the
house and there found the little ones
lowering around the small stove try
ing to keep warm. The children were
hungry. They had not tasted a mouth
full of food since early morning.
1t was necessary to provide place
for the children at once and 1t was no
easy task for the juvenile officer. Fin
ally after calling on numerous Mt.
Vernon citizens, at a late hour Mr..
Purcell found kind-hearted father
and mother who took the children in
for the night, but could keep them
only until noon Wednesday.
Again the Juvenile officer was con-
fronted with the same proposition-no
place to take the three children.
This is not the first time this win
ter that such condition of affairs has
existed, showing the absolute need of
a children's home.
1t Is a disgrace to Knox county that
there Is not such a home for friend.
less and destitute children.
If horse Is picked up on the street
suffering from the cold and hunger II
is placed in livery barn for shelter
protection and food.
But here are three children, human
beings, their mother dead, father in
Jail, no relatives, nothing to eat for a
day and not an institution Of any kind
in Knox county where they can be civ
en- the comforts Of home.
1t is time for Knox county to provide
home for the fatherless, motherless
| and needy children.
