during the year were babies, of which
there were 81, making a death rate
among this class, of 3h per cent.
1t must be remembered hat each OF
the total 1919 children received at our
hands a definite cosideration such as
they had never experienced before.
Food, clothing, shelter, moral direc-
ton. transportation to and from the
home was the very best that could be
given with the harsh economy we are
compelled to practice.
THE average cost per child, count
ing those on hand at the beginning
of the year and those received first
time, total 1853, is $72.75, or $15.25
less than last year. This average
cost of $72.75, incluoes all running
expenses, ever the aid work in be-
half of 1S9 children who did not
come into u custody.

MAY KEEP HER BABY
PARIS COURT DECIDES YOUNG
MOTHER CAN CARE FOR
KINGS DESCENDANT.

Paris, June 1.-THE children's
court has just confided to a poor
working girl the care of the grand
famous BehanZin of Dahomey. who
used to kill with most picturesque
tortures those of his prisoners whom
he did not sell as slaves and organic
ed elaborate human sacrifices with
hundreds of victims on the occasion
of public festivals.
The working girl, who is the
child's mother. has only her modest
wages to bring up the descendant of
the former king of Dahomey.
Behanzin, whose territory was fin
ally annexed by France more than
twenty years ago, was transported to
French Guiana for his crimes. He
had a son, who passed many unhap-
by hours far away from his beloved
Africa.
But as he grew up the young man
better appreciated the advantages of
civilization and joined the French
army, soon reaching the rank of ad-
jutant. He quickly forgot the cruel
customs of his country and showed
himself adaptable to western ideas.
On his return from the colonies he
established his residence in Paris.
The prince had a heart. which he
offered to a little Partisan girl, who
accepted his homage. Agreeable and
loving, she made the royal exile for
get the fierce Amazons of Dahomey.
Soon Behanzin's son experienced the
joys of paternity. The war surprised
him in full enjoyment of his semi
conjugal happiness.
He left in the first day of mobiliz-
alton TO defend his new country. His
career at the front was remarkable
for bravery and the war cross and
epaulettes Of a sub-lieutenant were
the recompense of his courage. But
his weak lungs we're not able to
stand the rude climate Of the north
and he died of consumption a few
months ago.
The little mother, whose heart was
sensible and good, while plying her
needle wept for her royal friend.
There only remained as souvenir of
the past the little being now 4 years
old, whose color marks his origin.
She wanted to keep the child. who
had been Loyalty recognized by Lieut..
Behanzin, but, considering the cir
cumstances, she vas obliged. under
French law to apply to the courts for
permission to take car of it. Thus
the history of this royal romance be-
came known to the Partisan public.

CHILDREN'S Home
ANNUAL REPORT ON WORK BY
THE SUPERINTENDENT.

Sioux Falls, June 14.-Receipts oil
the South Dakota Children's Home
society for the year ending June l,
including the balance on hand last
year, general collection and tag day
funds, totalled $15,241.37, with dis
bursements, including a loan of ST.
432.63 to the hospital fund. for the
same period amounting to $14,-
192.08, leaving a balance on hand OF
$~1.049.29, according to the report
made by Supt. A. ID. Stuckeman at
the regular annual meeting of the
board last evening.
THE year closing May 81. 1916
says the report, was an unprece-
denied one. BY far the greatest
number of children have been receiv-
ed as wards, comparatively few have
been returned for replacement and
the greatest number of adoptions
have been issued than in any pre-
vious year in the history of the So
ciety. A greater amount of investi-
cation and adjustment work has
been done which in itself has not
only occupied a large portion of our
time, but has made strong demands
on our resources. Aside from the
expense of building the hospital
there has been only a slight increase
OF $261.66 in the expenditures over
last year, and the total receipts for
general expenses were $792.50 more
than last year. This does not take
into accoun the $4,000 received for
the hospital.
THE 1876 children added to our
number of wards are divided into So
boys and 70 girls. 81 OF whom were
baby boys and "a baby girls under
III years of age. They came from
twenty-six counties, Minnehaha as
usual giving us the lions share of

ers' elevator in the county, who said
the youth drove it to the elevator and
said he was out of gasoline and left
it. The day the Barnard car was re-
turned, the car of w. ID. Swain, an
Aberdeen capitalist, was stolen from
