REPUBLICANS SWEEP MAINE BY
A RECORD BREAKING MAJORITY
AND AT LAST HE'S FOUND HER
Lltt1e Lad Was Eager to Reach Kan
sas and See "New Mother"

One Of the appealing little Incidents
related by Miss Pratt who is one of
the women in charge Of the children
who have been brought here from
New York to be placed in homes,
was that Of one Of the very little
boy who was eager to get here and
see his "new mother"
"All the way from New York, 4
hot dusty trip" said Miss Pratt,
"the little fellow when he was tired
would look up into my face and put
his little hand. on my arm and ask
When am I going to see my new
mother?'"
"He asked me that SO many
times" she said, "that anticipated
the time when he should really see
the new mother he was so anxious
to find. Finally when he arrived
here and very lovely lady decided
he was the little boy she wanted he
was 0verjOyed. One might have
thought we had coached him what
to say the day she came for him..
When he opened the door and was
told that this was the lady to whose
home he was to go, he looked up at
her and with quick winning smile
said. why hello, mammal No one
had ever told him to say mamma
or heard him say 1t before but no
more appealing, sweet greeting could
have been taught him than the one
which he gave so spontaneously.
"He was very glad when we took
his little clothes up to the house and
left them there for he was so afraid
we would take him back with us and
not let him stay"
Miss Pratt added that this little
fellow and the others too had found
fine homes and she was confident
that not only were they going to be
very happy but they were going to
take a lot of happiness with them.
