ters early Monday morning and sur
rendered. She declared that after

cred Blacks body and kept an all
right vigil. unable to summon courage
to call police. She was charged with

expectation.

One Of the pleasures of Rev. John
German, superintendent Of the Gil
bault home for boys in Indiana, is TO
watch the youngsters cat when they
first come to the home. Many OF them
haven't had a good meal for long

home, and it takes quite a while to
get them filled up" so that their APP
petites become normal again.
But one little fellow, who arrived a
few weeks ago. didn't seem able
to arpcasc his hunger. Every meal
he demanded 10 slices of bread. After
Il time the superintendent decided
was wrong and when the
doctor next visited the home had him
look at the youngstcr.
The examination showed him in a
good condition. At its close the doc
tor said to the little fellow: "Why
don't you try leaving the table hun
CRY some day."
