day when she divorced him. The
money was said to be in full settle

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
The faith in prayer of little Isabel
Davis of Leavenworth, granddaughter
| of Mrs. J. A. Campbell, $40 Clay street
is hanging in the balance. She is an
| only child and for several years has
prayed for a baby sister She is a
| frequent visitor in Topeka at the home
of her cousin Jean. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. JAG Campbell. Five-year-
| old Jean has been praying, too, and
| now her faith is firm and fixed, for
| on Tuesday she was told her prayers
had been answered-that she had a
baby sister. The mystery filled her
with awe. Then, after looking at the
new arrival. and asking daddy why it
didn't have any teeth, and when
would it be smoothed out, she turned
to Isabel and with utter faith, said:
Now I'll help you pray-you see I'm
a surer prayer than you are!"
