List to a tale of the hard-hearted
coppers. victims of a false tradi-
ton that makes them always the re-
lentless foe OF the wrong-doer. Bnt
are they always relentless. devoid
of kindly impulses. actuated by no
sympathetic motive?
Several weeks ago fire destroyed
the home and all that was owned
by Herbert Eskridge. his wife and
their brood Of six youngsters. This
was at the cottage they occupied
near Lowell
With little money they came to
Hammond. They lived in a hotel
There was no room TO be had else
where Soon the money was gone.
BY a stroke of fortune Eskridge
smiles sardonically at that word
they found two rooms, poorly fur
nished at 523 Logan street. Esk-
ridge sought a job. There wasn't
any. In the house was quarter
gas meter A few quarters went
into it. Not much gas came out.
Soon there weren't any more quar-
ters: there wasn't any food; the
children were semi-clad; the parents
were in a auadary.
Eskridge found a job. That was
last week He worked but the
company had regular pay days and
Eskridge was asked to regulate the
stomachs and appetites OF his fam
lily by the calender. That was
harder than trying to regulate the
gas meter without any quarters.
Finally the children began to cry.
They were hungry. They continued
hungry. They cried at night, too.
