Humphrey. why, 1 knew you at

just as dear mamma told me to, and
besides, haven't I your picture

A yelling sense of hope and Joy
thrilled Gabriel. 1t seemed as though
some plying angel had come with
gentle balm for his wounded heart.
He swayed as in some rapt vision as
the little one prattled on. He learn
ed how faithful the mother had been
in caring for him, trusted of neces-
sity, but tenderly, to the charge Of
others.
The new dramatic troupe went on
with it's rehearsal. Little Humphrey,
exhausted with excitement and IA
tigue, fell into a gentle slumber. Ga

deVouring with love and longing the

Gabriel paid little attention to the
actors and the scenes about him. The

tiOnaI Anthem Is Sung.

La Crosse, June 7.-Although the
student council Of La Crosse Normal

on the case of George A. Corners of
Waterbury, Neb., charged with failing
stand when the national anthem was
played in the assembly room, an i'm
promptu demonstration showed how
students felt about it. There was a
nea: riot and Corners was placed I'M
der shower bath without having re-
moved his clothes.
A committee is anxious to help him
pack his trunk. Corners, who is pres
ident Of a socialist study club, told

tend to show disrespect to the flag
but did not wish to be forced up by
other students.
It is possible Corners will be off
cially reprimanded at meeting OF

INCREASE IN LABOR AND WAGES FOUND
 HIGHEST IN YEARS
Growth of Four Per Cent. in Employees and Six Per
 Cent In Wages Paid

New York, Oct. 20-On the report of Leonard M. Wallstein, Commis- sioner of Accounts, to the Mayor, based upon a practical test to deter mine the value to the city of sys- temat1c efforts to locate wilful family deserters. and to compel them to reim- purse the city for the cost of caring for their abandoned children, the sub- committee on puget is resolved to recommend to the main committee that a Desertion Bureau be establish ed in the Department of Charities for six months, and that one chief deser- tion officer at $1,320 a year and two deaertion officers at $1,08O each be appointed special patrolmen with authority to execute warrants. The courts will be requested, in case of desertion of children. to deliver war rants to the investigators, and an As sistant Corporation Counsel will be as- signed to prosecute such cases in court and give whatever legal assistance is required.
 Commissioner Wa1lstein says in his report that a practical test of 53 cases received from the Bureau of Social Investigation of the Department of Charities showed that delinuuent parents can be compelled. in a req sonable proportion of cases, to contri- bute to the support of their children.
 The report states that since 1918 the charge against the city for the care of deserted children has increased from $400,09O to over s700,OOO per year, and vigorous and thorough measures are needed to correct the situation.
