Hard Luck Stories Are Related Of Their Past Experiences In Un-

Sad indeed were the tales told by two iron men" that found their way into the Graphic office yesterday. These two lonely dollars were the only specimens of cartwheel coinage that rolled in to join the G6 others which have been contributed ill the past ten days for the use of the Demo- cratic party in the national campaign. They were introduced by D. E. Boggs of Lake Dick, and Deputy District Attorney r. G. Farham

New York Founding hospital has in stituted proceedings in the Chancery Court for possession of 13-year-old girl, indentured to Mrs. Taggart abiut 10 years ago, on the ground that she was not fulfilling her contract as to the care of the child, has decided to resist to the last legal extremity the demands of the founding hospital.
 Mrs. Taggart has employed Mehaffy Reid and Mehaffy as her attorneys, and they yesterday took the first step toward preventing the New York insti tuition from taking the child from it's soster mother. The case was to have jeen heard yesterday by Chancellor Martineau,~ but the proceeding was blocked by the defendants attorneys, who filed a demurrer to the petition, and also response, both of which will be heard by the chancellor on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
 In demurring to the petition, the plaintiff, through her attorneys, asks that the case be dismissed because of the plaintiff being a foreign cor ooration and nonresident, and had given no bond for costs. She asks that the defendant be required to fur Alsh this bond, and that upon it's fail- ure to do so the petition be dismiss

DenieI All Allegations

In the response to the petition, Mrs. Taggart denies all the allegations it sets forth. She states that she took the child when it was two years old and has had the constant care of it from that time to this, about 10 years. during which time each has become much attached to the other. She sates that the relation is exactly the same as that between mother and daughter, and asks the court to sus- tain her contention and permit her to retain the custody of the girl.
 It is expected witnesses will be examined in the case when it comes ID for a hearing Saturday. Mrs. Tag sart expects to produce evidence to show that her care and treatment o1
 he adopten child are all that could be expected of mother.
