TWO LITTLE ORPHANS 60 FROM
RICHES TO NEAR POVERTY ' 4.
: Two little orphans, a boy and a
girl, John and Mary, given a taste of
home life and mother love for just
a little while, are again orphans, a
home that once was happy is broken
up, one of the children's guardian
angels is in the County Hospital, and
they are being cared for by a man
who has just stepped across the Dor
derland of boyhood himself and who
earns only $14 week.
The children were given homes by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Paulsen. John
came first. He was found wander
ing on the street clad in a Buster
Brown suit, and he was lost. His pic
ture was published in the paper, but
If he had a real mother living she
never came to claim him.
Then Mrs. PaUlsen, whose hus-
band, the banker, had been released
from prison because Of her personal
plea to the President for his pardon,
took Buster or John into her heart
and her beautiful home in the Letter
fiat building at 1850 Jackson Park
terrace.
Mrs. Paulsen was very happy with
John, but John wanted a playmate
and so a little girl, Mary, was taken
from an institution and the two chill
dren played together and were taken
for long rides in Mr.. Paulsen's auto
mobile, driven by his chauffeur, Joe.
