With eyes like the violet, lips
like the red, red rose and cheeks
that blushed like sunkissed
peach, little golden haired Ruth
came to the Children's Industrial
home Wednesday.
She Is beautiful little one of
three years, affectionate and hap
py of disposition, but mother is
dying.
Up in the hospital she has been
lying for seven long months. The
great white plague has her in it's
grasp and the doctor says she
cannot live much longer.
Little Ruth's father is one Of
those unsung heroes of the
masses. On an interurban milk
train he labors from 4 i'm the
morning until 3 in the evening
-13 hours a day for 81. Every
cent went for his little family.
He denied himself and worked
to pay hospital bills and for a
maid to look after little Ruth and
two other small children. But
1t was losing battle. His savings
dwindled. He could not pay the
maid and she had to quit.
He was doing his best IL a hope
less battle, but it was no use. He
could not meet hospital bills, keep
up a home, pay doctors and a SER
want on 81 a day.
Yet he Is still trying.
Friends urged him to put lit
tie Ruth in the Children's Home.
So Ruth arrived Wednesday. She
was playing about the great build
ing when the Times man called
yesterday afternoon. When she
saw the stranger she rushed into
the arms of the assistant matron,
Mrs. Randall, and cuddled down
In security on her lap.
Then there was ring at the
doorbell. Two women came in
with a little girl of IA carrying
a baby of Is months. Little Ruth
looked, then with a wild cry of
delight rushed into the arms of
the newcomers. Her trends were
bringing her little baby sister to
the home. The third will proba-
bly, be sent soon. Little Ruth will
probably never see her mother
again for she cannot live but a
short time.
Each Is Tragedy.
There are over 60 little folks,
every one with life tragedy. at
the Children's Home. Most of
them have already lost parents.
Some have been abandoned, some
there are whose parents have
been sent to prison, many have
come from homes where they
were beaten and abused until life
itself was in danger.
There are "a boys.
Only 2S were in line when the
little army lined up at the tap OF

where's Mickey?" asked Mrs.
Randall.
Hes upstairs dressing; Ill get

dow. In just a moment he emerg-
ed dragging little Mickey, still
rubbing his eyes from recent
