Homes for li0 Orphans.
In commenting upon t6e work done
By the county agent. of thc State
Charities Aid Association throughout
the state in finding homes for chill.
dren in institutions, Nrs. Rice said:
During the last year ll0 children
from the counties Of New York have
been placed u free foster homes
through the cooperation OF the plac.
ing out agency OF the central oace
in New York City. Of which Miss
Clark is head. Most Of these children
came from orphan asy.ums in differ.
eat parts of the state, where. for a
longer or shorter time. they had led
lives similar 20 little judy Abbot,s
experience in Daddy Lone-Legs.'
"While many of the orphan ssylums
in this state are much more up-tO-dsie
than the Institution portrayed in Miss
Webster's book and play, still there is
inevitably a certain loneliness thai
comes from not being surrounded By
relatives and friends. One Of the
most gratifying parts Of the work Of
our association is providing home life
for these little Institution childrer
who have so long been deprived Of it
like Judy Abbott m the play Daddy
Long-Legs.'
Bachelor and Spinster Should Help.

"tnat every childloss couple and every
bachelor and spinster u the country

SAFETY STORAGE wARENousE.

The Safety Storage Warehouse, in
the Nicely Building, corner Fourth
and Pleasant Streets, is now ready to
receive goods. If you have furniture
piled in damp cellar, leaky attic or
dirty, damp, foul stable, make ar
rangements at once to store it in the
Safety Storage Warehouse. The cost
is small, but the protection is great.
The warehouse will be kept clean at
all times, the building is almost fire
proof, and goods stored there will be
just as clean and in as good condi-
ton when taken out as when put in
storage. Receipt in full given for
every article or cOntainer, and the
warehouse will be run to comply with

Tariffa : Bar 20 Psaea.

"It has struck me-" Richard Cobdenl

that It would be well to try to engraft

cause. It has often been for me q matt

Friends nave not taken up the matter Of
free trade az the means-and I believe
the only permanent means--of effectinG
universal and permanent peace"
Cobden's reference, of course, was I'd
the fact that the constant struggle for
enlarged markets Is the chief danger I'd

struggle Is the direct outcome OF tariffsl
