BABY WANTS HOME
Healthy and Perfect Blond. De-
serted by Unknown Parties
near Middleton.

A little far haired chap, with eyes
as blue as sunlit skies, is lying or, it's
hack, kicking tiny dimplad feet INTO
the air, enriching passers by with in
nocent smiles. This thriving young
man, whom we will call by the name
of baby, is approaching the wise
age of eight long months.
His cooling voice and happy smiles
seem filed with purpose, for oftmes
there comes wistful look into the
baby's eyes. These things can be rea-
oily understood when it is learned
that the little youngster is looking
tngingly for home, for some cue
wh1 can take the place of mother.
Won't some husband and wife who
are childless remove the usefulness
f. ON Baby's eyes and take it to theit
home? Or, perhaps, there is some
father and mother who would like to
take care of more children than they
have, who will be willing to respond
to the enticing smiles of the little
new boy and give him place along
With their own children.
The destinies of little Baby are in
! the hands of Mrs. Tom 4 Florence, Ill
Henderson St., and Sheriff w. E.
Swanson, who can be interviewed on
the subject at the Marietta Couri
House. Unless some of the noble and
tenderhearted people of the city OF
county can give little blond Baby q
home he will have to go away in d
few days to the orphans home, there
to be merely one among many, many
other children. He is very individ
ual person, as any one can tell who
will only make his acquaintance, anC
he is every inch deserving of an indi
vidual home like the millions Of 9th
Yer children of this land of the free
and the home Of the brave.
---4An unusual history. fills the eigh
short months of Baby's life. No ont
having charge of his present existence
knows anything about his history ex
cept for the past week, to be exact
before Friday night of last week
about nine O'clock.
For it was at that time of night
that he is reported to have been founf
by a pedestrian in little deserted
cold drink stand on a principle roaC
near Middleton. This foot traveller
did not pick the baby up himself but
went out ito notify others. 1t is
stated that the first parties he came
across were riding in an automobile
They turned to look for the child
but before they could get back to the
spot, a Mr.. Gam, who lives in the
vicinity of Middleton, learned of his
whereabouts and took Baby home.
The sheriff was informed early Sat
urday morning and an investigation
was begun to find out if possible who
the little stranger was and what par
ents he had selected before being
slowed away on the road to pick up
other parents. AS yet all efforts of
the sheriff and others have proven
fruitless.
Baby was brought to Marietta,
where he remains as a guest, and has
been given the best treatment possible
he, by all means, will never again be
in order to insure the little one that
left the object of the charity of some
passerby.
Baby is reported to have been in
excellent health. But at the time of
finding hrs little body was terribly
emancipated from hunger. His rug
gedness Of body has greatly increas-
ed during the past week of care and
nourishing food.
