Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake
City, is responsible for the following
story:
Recently on a liner bound for New
York from England. a baby was born
down in the steerage when the boat
was a few hours out. The passengers
on the upper deck heard of it, and
being informed that the mother was
very poor, they took up a collection
for her amounting to about $500.
When the boat was within short dis
lance of America, the woman ex-
pressed a desire to thank the passen-
gers in person and did SO in a few
brief remarks which were about as
follows: II want to thank you for
myself, for my baby and for my hus-
band, who lives ir America and whom
I have not seen for three years"
The thanks were duly accepted.
The story is vouched for by number
of first cabin passengers of unim-
peachable authority.
