New York, Dec. 15.-Fifteen min
utes after Mrs. Sadie Mayer died in
the Beth David hospital Monday
night, surgeons removed a baby girl
from her. While at first it seemed
that the infant had been asphyxiated
she later responded to heroic treat
ment and at midnight promised to de-
velop into healthful young woman.
Mrs. Mayer. who was only 20 years
DID, was a bride when her husband
died last May. ,..-
The baby was first immersed in a
bath of hot water and then into a
bath of cold water. This was contin-

when she began to indicate signs of
respiration.

1t was then that DR.. Nathan Blau-

breath into the lungs of the infant,
drawing it out again. He did this
many times and after much work was
rewarded by struggle of the little
arms and then good husky "bawl, y

One of these ways is to sell papers
along the way, and this il the method
being used by two New Haven news
boys who are selling the Topeka State
Journal during their stay in the Kan
sas capital this week.
These boys are J. Yutkoeitch and H.
Proctor. They wanted to see the big
Panama exposition, and realizing that
they might not be able to accumulate
enough surplus in New Haven to make
the trip. they decided to run a paper
route across the continent. In each
town they try to sell enough newspa-
pers to pay their railroad fare to the
next good town, and if unsuccessful
they hit the hike trail and consider this
part of every. days chance.
Leaving New Haven, they worked
New Yorkn Albany, Syracuse, Cleve7
land, Toledo, st. Louis, Jefferson City,

towns along the line, arriving in To-

the exception of the stretch from st.
Louis to Kansas City, they have had
little trouble in earning their way
| In st. Louis sithey found the street
paper market rather dull and, were
compelled to walk out of town.. All
the way to Kansas City they were put
and were compelled to walk through
the rain several days, but since reach

pick up and hope to make enough
money to ride the cushions out of the
state.
The boys probably will spend two or
three days in Topeka and will go from
here to Wichita. They hope to reach
Frisco shortly before the fair opens,
and will stay there during the sum-
mer. When the journey has been
completed they will have filled the big
scrap book they are carrying with a

HE Tells 4 STORY
The President Illustrates His
Feeling Toward the Negro.
Believes in Learning His Needs
and Helping Him.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Outlining
his attitude toward the negro, Presi-
dent Wilson today told the university
commission on southern race ques-
tions, made up of representatives OF
eleven southern colleges, that 'Our OBJ
ject is to know the needs of the ne
gro and sympathetically help him in
any way that is possible for his good
and our good"
DIR. c. HI. Brough of the University
of Arkansas, chairman of the COM
mission. told the president the COM
mission was organized to make an i'm
partial study of the race question from
the standpoint of the negro's eco
nomic, hygienic, civic and moral bet
terment. He said that a very deep in
vestigation of the subject was being
made with the good of the negro al
ways in mind.
Il am very glad to express my sim
cere interest in this work and sym
pathy with it, said the president, in
reply to DIR. Brough. II think men
like yourselves can be trusted to see
this great question at every angle.
There is not any question, it seems to
put or more thorough human good
feeling than this. 1 know myself, as
a southern man, how sincerely the
heart of the south desires the good
of the negro and the advancement of
his race in all sound and sensible lines
and everything that can be done in
that direction is of the highest value.
1t is a matter of common understand
ing.
There is charming story told
about Charles Lamb. The converse
ton in his little circle turned upon
some men who were not present and
Lamb, who. you know. suffered, said:
I hate that fellow His friends said !:
Charles, l did not know you knew
him. Lamb said: L don't; / can't
hate a fellow 1 know
Il think that is very profound
human fact. You cannot hate a man
you know. And our object is to know
the needs of the negro and sympa-
thetically help him in every way that
Is possible for his good and for our
good. 1 can only bid you Godspeed
in what is very necessary and great
undertaking"

Tiny Newsboy Sacrificed
Christmas Pleasure
That He Might Contribute to
Family Bread Box.
NE WAS GIVEN DOLLAR Bill
Mother Sent 1t Back, Fearing It
Was Stolen.
How Dorothy Horn Brought
Happiness to Topeka Boy.

It doesn't take a sob" writer to dc
justice to this story. No extra en-
bellishments are needed to "drive the
story home" for it happened right here
at home-right in Topeka-and the
touching thing about it is that 1T is
true.
A little newsboy went into the sales
room of the Bell Brothers music store,
9O4 Kansas avenue Monday afternoon. He
asked Miss Dorothy Horn, who is en-
rloyed there. to buy a newspaper. Out
. of the hundreds of persons who buy
newspapers every day, Miss Horn did an
unusual thing. She inquired about the
young news merchants business.
How much do you make when you
sell a newspaper" she asked.
when a man gives me only penny,
] make a half-cent, when he gives me
two pennies l make a cent and half,
was the reply.
And what do you do with the
money!"
"Oh, take it home to mother"
Are you going to have Christmas
at your house?" was the next question.
"Christmas-when is Christmas?'
He had seen the gaily decorated WIN
dows and the holiday crowds of shop
pers, but the idea of a Christmas at
home had never entered his mind. There
was a reason-an economic reason.
Are you not going to have any toys
for Christmas?"
Toys. No, I give all my money to
mother to buy things to eat. We can't
spend money for toys"
But wouldn't you like to have some
toys-things just to play with and have
fun WITH insisted Miss Horn, and the
boy thought he might.
He could scarcely believe it. when
she invited him to accompany heI
across the street to the Mills store.
She pointed to the toy display in the
window of the big store.
You come with me and we will
go over there and you pick out any
thing you want and you can have it, u
was Miss Horns invitation.
Hesitatingly, apparently in doubt
that such good fortune could really be
his, he accompanied her to the toy
department.
And there he lost his nerve. The
situation was too much for him. AT
first he was troubled in making a
selection
Then new light broke over his
face.
4. II don't want any toys" he said in
a trembling voice. 1T would be a
waste of money to buy toys
So no purchase was made. AS they

left the store Miss Horn gave the boy
q dollar bill.
But the end of the story is not yet
In a short time the boy returned to
Miss Horn and handed her an en-
velope containing the money.
Mother says nobody would ever
give away that much money! whole
dol1ar-and that must have stolen IT.
She told me to go back and give 1T to
the person I took it from"
Miss Horn wrote a note to the
mother, wrapped the dollar bill
around it. and gave it to the boy. She
is now preparing a Christmas basket
to follow the dollar bill.
And this happened right here In
Topeka.

IN SEARCH
OF LOST DAUGHTER
Illinois Girl Stopped at Waterloo on
Way to Ackley; Disappeared.

Waterloo, Jan. "a heartbroken
father is searching this city for a
lost daughter.
Edith Wills of Council Hill, ILL.,,
purchased ticket at her home town
last Monday afternoon for Ackley,
and she arrived in Waterloo that ev-
ening, remaining over night. Since
that time no trace of her has been
found.
Her father, John H. Wills, came
to Waterloo Thursday morning. Miss
Wills is 16 years old and is attract
i've. She was expected to go to Ack-
ley to visit with relatives, and when
she did not arrive there Tuesday
morning, a telegram was forwarded
to her parents in Council Hill.
She arrived here on an Illinois
Central train, and was informed that
the train continued no further than
Waterloo, and she could start for
Ackley at midnight.
A local cafe manager recalls her
having eaten breakfast at his place
Tuesday morning. Her father is
loathe to believe that she has met
with persons who have induced her
to remain here. He thinks she has
either boarded a wrong train and is
stranded in some town nearby or
that she has met with an accident or
foul play. She had very little money
with her when she left home.
