Memphis, Tenn.

In the institution there are two hundred and fifty chill
{ oren' II u whom are we'll and many of whom are sturdy,
rosycheeked, playloving youngsters. All who are old enough
are taught to work; each has some special task for which he or
she Is responsible and which can be accomplished before nine
O'CLOCK IN the morning, when all assemble in the different
classrooms. Glasses are dismissed at IL 80, resumed at 1880
and continued until 80. Girls are taught plain sewing and
embroidery; those who are ambitious to excel in the latter
can do some very beautiful work.
In the Infant Ward seventy little tots do their bit to make
Things lively, and generally succeed. Their ages range from
a few hours to four years, and. owing to the tender, loving
care OF their little nurses, the standard Of health and happiness
In the nursery Is OF the highest. The older girls who wish to
become nurses are given preliminary training in the Infant
Ward; others who wish to enter the commercial world are
sent to academies in charge OF the Sisters of Charity to finish

ProgreSSiVeneSs

In the last forty years the South has witnessed the
reclamation of vast stretches of waste land. Inter-
minable, dismal sWamps have been made profitable
for farming by drainage engineers. Dense forests
have been removed and railroads have penetrated the
wilderness in the march of progress.
But the experience of progress in the last forty years
will appear insignificant alongside of the tremendous
reclamation projects we may expect in the forty years
to come.

Saulted and Murdered.
Small Daughter Found Mothers
BOdy-Negro Seen Near.

Pratt. Kan, June 2S.-After being
criminally assaulted. Mrs. William
Bryant, 26. was murdered at her home
here some time between $50 and IL
o'clock this morning. The assailant
escaped.
Lying on the kitchen floor in a pool
of blood, the body was discovered by
neighbors shortly before IL o'clock
Death had resulted from a blow on the
head, evidently with a heavy instru-
ment. The skull was crushed. Near
the body lay a bloody railroad spike
with which the murderer is thought
to have dealt the death blow. A rope
was tied tightly around the woman's
neck.
Neighbors are said to have noticed
a negro near the Bryant home early
this morning. No arrests have been
made. The discovery of the body was
made after a small daughter of Mrs.
Bryant rushed to a nearby house and
said that her mother was lying on the
floor"
William Bryant, husband of the
murdered woman, is an employe of
the Rock Island railroad here. Four
small daughters. the oldest of whom is
9, also survive.
