One Little Tot Brings Happi
ness to Heart of Woman
Who Adopted 1t.

There are more chidless homes in
Georgia than children to fill them, to
Judge from the number of applications
the Children's Home society has re-
ceived for one little boy The Geor-
gian printed picture of this youngster
few days ago. Robert McCord, su-
perintendent, said today that half a
dozen would be foster mothers had
asked for the boy and he hated to
think that all but one must be disap-
pointed.
"One of the applicants is woman
with a five year old boy said Mr.. Nc
Cord and she wants this three year
old for a companion to the elder. It's
against our usual rules to place child
where there are other children, with
the possibility of his receiving treat
ment different from that given own
babies, but this is such a good home
we may make an exception"
Children Take Her For stork.
Mrs. Sarah LaROche Roberts,
worker in the Wesley Memorial church,
took one of the society's orphans to a
new-found home at Charlottesville a
few days ago, and wrote a letter to Mr..
McCord of the way she was received
children in rawfordsville thronged
around her, thinking she must be the
stork they had heard so much about,
and two or three made urgent demands
for a baby brother or sister, usually
specifying the exact shade of hair and
eyes desired
The letter Mrs. Roberts wrote Mr.
McCord was, in part, as follows;
when the midnight train pulled into
the Union station boarded it, holding
tenderly and closely to my heart a dear
little baby. whom one hour ago l had
never seen. 1t was just a baby-that
was sufficient. All the God-given ma
ternal instinct of my nature went out
to it, to shield it, protect and love it 1t
had been torn from its mothers arms
by a cruel fate over which its feeble
strength had no control Only baby!
Yes but tell me if you can, what one
thing in all this world is bigger or
greater than a baby? OF what use is
all the wealth, trade, commerce and in
dustry except for a baby? Behind all
the great enterprises iHdt ever tHieu
men to supreme efforts was the one su
preme and only incentive: Love, home
and babies. After all, it's the love of a
baby that rules the land.
Baby Talk Sweet Music.
II did not know whose baby fon
died in the train-I really didn't care
For a time, at least it was mine, and
held it close to my heart and told it
loving, tender things that only wom
ans lips who has the mother heart can
tell.
r Men laugh at that strange, sweet
language called baby talk, but / be
lieve it is sweet music to the ears of
every true man. | don't think it neces-
sary to explain to a true man. l have
seen tender women stoop over the bed
of great, strong men, who were brought
low by the fever, and use this same
mother baby talk and its effects be-
came almost as though she were talk
ing to a heart broken babe. All hail TO
the woman who can talk baby talk"

RATHSKELLER OUT OF BUSINESS

The hospitable portals of Flat City's famous Rathskeller have been closed to the dear public-the cash register is stilled fires drawn from the ranges and ovens, and the ketchup bottle se- curely corked. Orders for the appe- tizing h-a-m-and, the fiery chili con carne, and the aromatic coffee that mother tried to make" will be ''cOm- ing up" no more in that fashionable eathouse. It was not a lack of patron age that caused Jack Wallace to close his establishment, but the move was due solely to his generous consideration for his corps of chefs, bakers and pastry cooks, who wished to hike on the late boats for the Outside, in order to accept similar positions at Rector's in New York, the Palmer house in Chicago, and Mushon's in Seattle.

TROUBLE AHEAD ON
 NEW YORK GREEK

Judging from the report brought back from New York creek by J. R. McGovern, there is work ahead for the lawyers.
 : At the present moment, says MT. McGovern, there are parties of Russ ians, Italians and few Swedes on the creek, and there seems to be consider able dissension among some of them. Partners have fallen out, and restaked claims, and there is said to be con- siderable overlapping. When MT. Manley was over there he attempted to smooth out matters, and advised re- stalking on systematic lines. His sug- gestions were carried out to some ex- tent; buC it is said that some of the relocating was accomplished after the passage of the new law, in which event the locating by l60-acre associations is clearly illegal.
