The Nebraska Children's Home so ciety—Nebraska's principal agency fOr uniting homeless children with childless homes—la making Its annual l-Sport to the many thousands of Ne braskans who contribute yearly to Its support. i.etters mailed from the society’s office In Omaha by Rav.

"That is assigned to cover the work with <>ftiaha children. The state outside of CMnaha Is then asked to make con tributions to carry on the work with lihlldren outside of Omaha." All Counties Helped, livery county in Nebraska has felt the helping hand of this great chari table organization until It Is known throughout the atate as Nebraska's iv~.. : great constructive charity. In almost every county there are grown men and women who,'because of family misfortune, became charges of the society yeare ago, and, through Its agency, were placed Jn Christian homes where they were reared to be come useful citizens. The society maintains a home for children in Omaha, but It ia not an orphanage. The home la atmply a re ceiving station. When a child is left an orphan, or when the home Is broken up and, for any reason, the child becomes a charge of the society, It Is taken first to the home at Omaha. The society finds a home for It somewhere in Nebraska where It can receive the advantages of a genuine Interest on the part of Its foster parents. Its stay in the re ceiving home is simply an Interval, during which, If necessary, It receives necessary medical attention and Is brought to physical standard sq that, when It finally goes out to Its new home. It Is able to acquit Itself with credit. Visit Foster Parentn. The work of the society does not end when the child le placed In Its new home. Every year, at least, a representative of the society visits the foster parents, inspects the con ditions under which the child la being reared and sees to it that these con ditions are all that were promised. In addition to this inspection, the society la at all times In communica tion with hundreds of members throughout the state who voluntarily keep In touch with lta children and advise the Omaha office of any condi tion which needs correction. This supervision continue* until the soci ety's ward becomes of age. Steamers Collide. London, Dec. 13.—The steamer Lo renzo from London collided with the Italian steamer Laura of Dunkirk to day.
