LITTLE ROY, YOUR PROBLEM,

TIMES MAN GINDS TRAGEDY
AND ROMANCE AT DAY MUIR
SERY.
"My Day Nursery!

MY lay nursery
And four-year-old Roy rushed
to greet Mrs Pierce, matron of the
Day Nursery at South E and 22nd
street, yesterday as she returned
from down town.
With outstretched chubby
hands he encircled as much of
her garments as he could gather
in his arms.
DAY Nursery" is the name all
the tots give to Mrs. Pierce.
Following little Roy came
Willie and Orlo and Agnes and
the rest. Two of the littlest fell
lows were sound asleep.
Every child Is tragedy.
Little Roy, bright, handsome
little fellow, is the center of a ro-
nance that ought to cause the
venerable Uncle Sam to sit down
for a moment and let the tariff
and reciprocity and interstate
commerce run themselves while
he does little hard thinking
about that boy.
A soldier pledged himself TO
Uncle Sam. He knew nothing OF
soldier life but he had no job and
and Uncle Sam urged him to join
the army, SO he Joined. Then he
met girl. They looked into
each others eyes. They saw
something that Uncle Sam does
not provide for in his army ritual.
Deserted the Army.
One day the soldier failed to
answer roll call, and after his
name was written the word "de-
serter."
He married that girl. Then
came little Roy.
But Uncle Sam pays $50 for a
returned deserter and in time the
soldier was caught, cOurtmar-
tailed and sent to the penitentiary
for seven years.
The wife and mother, whether
In desperation, grief, or because
she was not strong enough to
meet the battler of life, left the
child with another woman and
disappeared. The other woman
could not keep him.
Is Heroic Story.
A friend looked into his manly
little face and said she would try
and now she Is working day by
day, leaving the little tad at the

money to ''bring him up"
Little Roy is too young to
know his loss and with a hug of
the skirts of DAY Nursery" he
was off on the run to the wood
shed where he soon had a swing
rope around his neck and called
for help to get out.
; Is Overall Boy.
"I'm the overall boy" said lit
tie Willie, his black eyes dancing
as he contemplated his blue jeans
"Yes, they are all overall boys"
said Mrs. Pierce, "but they do not
wear them all the time. We
have some little books telling
about the overall boys and they
are all proud to be overall boys"
