 My first thought when I read this letter was of the boon and blessing one or both of these girls would be in some daughter less household. Dear and fine as sons are, l always feel 1t is the daughters who make the home. and my heart goes out in sym pathy to the mothers who lack such price less gifts. I wish Foster Mother" had said more of the ancestry of these girls or had given their history in a little detail but all this could be ascertained by those who might wish to learn more about the chill dren. One of the points about them that appeals to me most is the statement that they are obedient. In these days of many unruly daughters 1t is a blessing to hear of those who have not omitted to learn that desirable accomplishment of how to obey. As a matter of course. any one who wished to adopt either child would be prepared to furnish unexceptionable references. shall be glad to put friends in touch with the foster mother.

Snow Worth Millions.

The temporary inconveniences
caused by the blanket of snow COW
ering Georgia and the Southern
States generally are incomparably
more than offset by the attendant
added value to our agricultural
prospects.
Snow is one of natures best and
cheapest fertilizers. 1t holds chemi-
cal elements missing in rain, and ,un-
like rain, it is evenly and gradually
absorbed and distributed. Provi-
dence is, therefore. endowing the
crops of Georgia for the forthcom-
ing summer and autumn. The white
mantle that covers fallow acres will
later be transmitted into fields of
cloth of gold, metaphorically speak
ing. The principle holds with all
manner of agricultural and horticul-
tural products. The peach and the
apple profit along with corn and cot
ton and oats and wheat.
tits, of course, as yet too early to
prophesy the extent of the farm
yield in Georgia this year, but it is a
certainty that it will be favorably
affected by the heavy deposit of snow
now thawing under the rays of the
sun. Nature worked Discriminatory
in Georgia's favor last year. 1t
seems the benevolent old dame has
already begun during the new year
her task of spreading plenty with a
good and lusty start. atlanta Con-

wild-looking creature, apparently
human female child has been found.
That she is human is proved by the
fact that there are vaccination marks
on both arms. but exposure to the ele-
ments has caused a thick growth Of
hair down each side of the face and
spine, which makes her appearance
more like that Of monkey than hui
man being. There is evidence to show
she has always walked upright, but her
sitting posture Is that of monkey, as
are all her actions.
She was very much frightened when
first caught, and cried and whimpered.
she would eat only grass and raw po-
tatoes, but later was induced to take
bread and milk. She is unable to talk
but there is no doubt that she can
hear.

FORMS BIG FORCE
OF JUVENILE POLICE
Jacob Goldstein Organizes 500
Harlem Boys to Uphold
Law and Order.

New York,-Following a call for TO-
600 boys to join the juvenile police of
Harlem, Jacob Colds tein, founder and
superintendent of the Harlem Pro
tective Association, announced that
more than $500 flocked to the head
quarters and made out applications
for membership. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Goldstein, who started the
Lower East Side Protective Associ-
alton to have the lads report every
undesirable condition they observe in
Harlem. and then the proper city au-
thorities will be notified TO take ac-
ton. The boys win be in structed in
the duties of the real police force and
will make regular rounds on assigned
posts.
For the purpose of the undertaking
Harlem will be divided into precincts
and officers will be placed in charge.
Even fixed posts will be laid out for
the Juvenile guardians of the law. Par
ticular attention will be paid to food
stuffs in grocery stores. candy shops
and venders' stands, and the youthful
policemen must see that sanitary or
dinances are observed. II violation
is found the offending storekeeper
will be communicated with by Mr.
Goldstein. That failing, the city au-
thorities will receive notice. Another
duty of the force will be to keep fire
escapes unobstructed and garbage
cans well covered.
Efforts will also be made to check
,l,o nj, h,h hn, h1rr
porting the names of dealers who sup
ply tobacco to youthful smokers. Ci-
garette smokers will not be admitted
to membership in the juvenile police,
and those who violate the rule against
smoking will be dismissed from the
force. Rowdy bands and mashers will
be watched and efforts will be made to
learn names of offenders. They will
be reported to the police. 1t is in
tended to have this force cooperate
with the Police Department, and Mr..
Goldstein hopes to obtain official re-
cognition for the members. A num-
ber of Harlem civic associations have
praised the scheme and have promis
ed to aid In its formation.
Several thousand copies of the fol-
lowing poster have been distributed
in Harlem:

"Why, Jake, what is the matter?
Are you sick?" asked his wife anxi-
ously, laying her hand on his shoul-
der.
eyes, sick with shame and dread"
he replied without looking up.
She took his face between her hands
and raised it, LOOKING steadily i~+o
the shifty eyes. "Tell me all about
it," she said tremblingly.
"Polly, you will never want to see
me again. lost all that money
gambling"
There was silence for a few min
utes. Then she said with an effort:
"po you mean that you gambled
with the money the children and !
worked so hard to get together?
That you gambled with our chance
to get home 2"
"Other fellows were making money
that way" he said sullenly. "The
first money you gave me four months
ago l took chance on and lost.
Since then l have been trying to get
it back and make the payments be-
fore you found it out"
She turned and left the room. A
fierce anger burned in her heart. The
summer had been so hard on her
and the children. They had bought
nothing to wear and had had no
vacation. To have all the fruits of
this sacrifice gambled away was bad
enough, but worse than all this was
the cruel disappointment in her hus-
band.
AS she sat with her head buried in
her apron, sobbing convulsively, she
felt hand laid on her shoulder.
"Polly, / will live this down if you
will give me another try. Can you
forgive me?" he asked in a voice
shaken with emotion.
"Oh, jake" she cried, rising and
laying her head on his shoulder.
81 will bring home my order un-
cashed and Pete shall make all the
payments after this" he said, put
ting his arm around her.
"No," she replied, "you make them
and bring me the receipts. I've got

The most extensive census of forest
so far received comes from Montana,
where the careful counting of the birds
on nearly thousand acres showed
an average of one pair to each three

AS would be expected the arid lands
of the Southwest show the smallest
bird population, and large stretches in
Arizona and New Mexico do not con.
tain more than one pair Of birds to
seven acres.
Apparently the most abundant bird

average of about fifty pairs to the
