ABANDONED INFANTS.
The "Baby Post" Once Did Rushing
Business In England.

Business In England.
There once hourlshed in England a
regular baby post the rates of post
age being fixed on strictly business
basis, according to distances traversed.
The curious institution came into ex-
istenee In connection with the found
ling hospital in Guildford street. When
this charity was first established 1t
was understood that its operations
would be confined to London and its
environs. But the people OF the coun-
try towns and villages heard of 1t and
showed decided disposition to share
In Its advantages; hence the "baby
post!"
All over the country there were men
and women who entered vigorously
into the business of carrying chill
dren to London and depositlng them
at the gates Of the foundIing hospital.
The charge was gulneas from distant
localities like York and Monmouth,
down to guinea from places situated
within thirty TO fifty miles OF the me-
tropols. The unfortunate infants were
borne on horseback In panniers, two to
each pannier, or In wagons lined with
straw, for which the charge was some
what less,
Naturally abuses grew up In con,
nection with the traffic. But, even
apart from them, the mortality among
~
ont OF 14,03l received ut the hospital
in four years, only 4,400 lived to be
'apprentieed out" being mortality OF
more than 10 per cent.
Eventually parliament passed
measure abolishing the practice, and
the "baby post ceased. London An

Later he came north and for over
so years has made his home in this
community. In the early days he
worked as hired man with the
farmers until by his sober, industri-
Gus, economical habits his savings
permitted purchasing a piece of
land for himself and he selected
what is the old home where his son
James now lives.
Mr.. Ewart always sought to iden-
THY himself with what was right.
He was a man of principle, integri-
ty and strong Christian character.
His word was good as bond and
he enjoyed the confidence of the en-
tire community. He was faithful
member of the Presbyterian church
in Big River, from which he had
never severed his relations and
where he held the office of elder up
to the time of his death.
For past the few years his health
had been quite poor but he was al
ways able to be about and no seri-
Gus change was visible until about
four hours before he peacefully
passed to rest. Four children of
his family and three to whom he
was step father, mourn him. The
funeral was held from mis- old home,
the services being conducted by
Rev. ]. H. Black, an old friend and
former pastor.
The family has the sympathy of
the entire community in their be-
reavement.

that SORT of an ancestry furnishes

live up to. This man justified his
birth. Fifty years in one commun.

but he little thought 10 play any
conspicuous part in the worlds

For over score of years as
professional man he went in and
out of this city without ostentation,
doing his work, satisfying his pa
irons, lining up on the right side of
all issues. He had little gift for
self advertisement. We came to
take him in the integrities of life as
a matter of course and it was not
until illness came and marked him
for our attention that we came TO
appreciate what he had become.
Then we discovered how strong and
masterful he had grown in his quiet
life among us, how he had silently
been gripping upon our respect, our
admiration and our love. The
character of his profession brought
him into personal touch with those
he served, but none of the many
who have sat in his office chair will
carry any recollection of idle gossip
or cruel criticism while he worked,
but rather the memory of Chris
tian gentleman, quiet, considerate
and strong. So he has lived his
life, wrought his work and passed
on, all too soon, leaving the person

of Ballymena, in north Ireland, not

this country in early life and set
tied for a time in the state of Iowa.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE

The passing away of such a man
as DR.. Harvey E. FollanSbee makes
fit personal tribute from one who
knew him for many years. And this
expression is the more justified be-
cause there are SO many who in va
rious ways the past few weeks have
given proof that this man of quiet
ways and upright life has touched
the heart of this community. 1t has
been with sad hearts that we have
watched the losing fight which our
fellow townsman has been waging
before our eyes. In one sense he
lost, for the inSideous disease which
gripped him has worsted the body
at last, but in a truer sense he has
not lost, but won, for out of the
conflict there has come person al
strength and more distinct con-
seriousness on the part of the city Of
his worth; and it is a pleasure to
note that some intimations of this
sense of appreciation came to cheer
the sick man before he passed to
the open vision.
DR.. Follansbee was one of our
own boys. Born in the Kinnickin-
mic valley he had the heritage of the
West and also of the East, for New
England gave him his forbears and
