For the Children

The Signing Mountain.

nee upon a time in far-ofi
country there was a big noun
tain near village that the
people called the Signing
mountain, because on summer evenings
when the wind was blowing gently II
sounded as if some one were on top of
the mountain signing.
Many times the village people had
tried to get up the mountain. but every
one who had tried had returned with
the same story.
The mountain was covered with thick
-rowths of briers and :nIckly trees.
and after going halfway all were glad

Years since anyone had made the at

what makes the signing" the old peo-
pie told the stranger: 1T has been tried
many times. and each one who went
failed to get further than halfway up
the mountain"
"Ah. but that is just why 1 want TO

do the things others have failed to do.

All the village people were out to see
the stranger start, for he was sull o
stranger to them. He told them he

said. He will never return. for when
he finds he has failed he will ride away

Ching or not" and the villagers
watched him until he was lost in the
trees of the mountain, and then they
-aited for his RETURN 1
But he did not return in the time they
had expected. and then they grew
lrightsned by his long absence, but
here was no sign Of him to be seen on

card as usual that night.
But what the villagers did not see was

lDpeared among the trees.
He looked about for something, and
vhere the briers grew the thickest he
found IL; It was big tree, with long.
slender branches, and this the stranger
tried 10 reach by sending his horse over
4 re briers. but the faithful animal could
rot be made to go. SO the rider dis
-lounted and climbed through and over
the sharp bushes until he came to the
tree. then he broke off a branch as long
as twice the length of his arm, but when
hr tried to return to his horse he found
ne had trouble in holding the branch or
rather he had hard work to go toward
his horse, for the branch drew him in
1other direction.
But the stranger held tight to the
branch with both hands. and though his
clothes were torn almost to tatters and
his hands sore from the sharp br.ers he
managed to reach his horse and mount

Slaughter of Innocents.
One of the most distressing and
alarming facts shown by these sta
ustics is that girls of sixteen or
less are now the favorite game Of
older men, often of position and
wealth. The story, told in The
Times, Of the conviction Of a man
Of sixty-eight. in a neighboring
State, who pleaded guilty of contrib
uting to the delinquency Of a six
teen-year-old girl, Is but an example
II a man of such standing and age
had looked for his game among
those OF his own class and standing,
1t would have been bad enough, but
that he had chosen a child young
enough to be his great-grandchild,
shows a degradation and degeneracy
that is startling.
But this case is nothing unusual
Many of the most narrowing cases
have been of similar character. The
number OF girls who begin before
they are twelve and thirteen years
old Is terrible. The slaughter of the
innocents was nothing to compare
to 1t. One does not like to touch
upon these things-they are too hor-
rible
But want you to remember when
you see the hardened woman Of sin
on the street. that II is more than
likely that she was started on her
downward career before she knew
what womanhood meant. She has
never blushed for, before the blush
Of innocence or self-consciousness
was on her cheek, she had been
despoiled.
One Striking Case.
A few days ago. standing beside me
in the New York Florence Crittenton
Home, was a darling little girl. less
than ten years old, with the clearest
blue eyes looking into mine and the
dearest little rosebud mouth held UP
for me to kiss. Her sister was an
inmate Of the home, and knowing
the unprotected condition of the
child. / said to the superintendent,
Miss Luther. in an undertone: DO
let's get that darling child some
where out of this city, where she
will be safe. She Is too lovely to
leave"
The tears mounted to Miss Luther's
eyes. ard she said: 1T is too late"
'Oh. that nv head were waters
ard my eyes d fountain of tears. that
/ might Weep for the slain daughters
of my people"
Even as | write. the memory of
that darling child's face rises up be-
Tore me and tears dim my eyes.
Ihe old-tIlnc cOurteSan, able to de-
fend and care for herself, Is fast
disappearing. In her place is the
immature, subnOrmal, poorly devel-
0ped s!rl. a woman sitting next %
me in the night court said: These
children are spelling the business"
IL was so much d matter of pure
business with her that she forgot to
whom she was speaking.
A large number of these 10000
girls were unmarried mothers. Their
children, born in some hospital, are
either given up for adoption or
boarded away from the mother. The
child, which might have been a pow
er for good to the girl, thus becomes
a hostage to fortune. and often leads
to the mothers further undoIng. Any
sin seems iustifiablc in the eyes of a
