"it's ono o' these sad yarns, full o' tears,

self, see? I sets down hero an' writes
live cigarettes on it, but It reads like a

tears It up. Mebby you can do bettor. I'll

"Sny, did you ever notice that young

" 'I'm medium boiled,' I says, 'how nro

"Then he pulls out a big ted handkerchief
and begins to mop his face.
"'What's tho matter. Ilernle?' I says,
'You're sweatln' like a hired man."
"Then I sees my mistake, an' It makes

"The I'nlon Pacific lnnd department has

Westurn Kansas Is looked upon with
greater favor as a cattle-ralHlng district

of tho state where the Union Pacific owns
this largo tract of 000.000 acres Is hardly

"We will bo pleased to see western Kan

"I tako It to bo the Intention to have a

no other charity Is able to do.
As president of Iho Omaha Charity nssn
elation Mrs. T, L. Kimball makes the fol-
lowing statement of the needs of the In
stitution at the present time:
I have been requested to place before tho
readers of The Sunday Dee a brief outline
of the status of the Creche, Its usefulness
In the past and Its present and future
needs.
This Institution, comprising not only a
day nursery but a home for children of
Indigent, hard-wnrklngt 'tarents. Is now
entering upon Its thirteenth year and Is
two-thirds self-supporting. A number of
friends have sulcrlbcd M a month and
many more $1 a year toward defraying
cm rent expenses. Kh Ven ctlbs are en
dowed. Funds tire raised by entertain
incuts and persona! solicitation
Tho average number of children In at
tendance Is twenty-live a day. all under
S yeats of age. Two-thirds ol them attend
the public school. Most of their clothing
Is provided by friends of the Institution.
As soon ns the parent er guardian can
provide a permanent home for their child
It Is removed from the Creche. All other.!
nt the age of S years have suitable homes
found for them by ;h association. A
matron nnd three assistants aro employed
constantly.
Three wholesome meals tiro provided
dally, and each child Is kept clean, healthy
and therefote hnppv. Consider for a mo
ment this fact. Among tho WW children
tared for under this roof yeaily for thir
teen years but one tleatn has .occurred
It would be illlllcult to cite a parallel ease.
Such watchful ( ire Is kept that althoiuh
contiu'lous diseases are at times brought
to the home by little ones tnken by the
day, they are seldom communicated to tho
others. We attribute this Immunity from
sickness to the regularity of hours for
bathing, sleeping and eating and the clean
liness of the whole establishment.
Thirteen years ago we asked from tin
city the free use of ground where we could
build and nut In operation our plans for
the relief of destitute mothers nnd chil
dren. Jt was jranted for twenty-live
years. It Is conceded by every one thai
the city lias been doubly repaid In the care
which has been bestowed on Its poor.
The iricstloii Is often asked: "Why does
not our city show IIh appreciation of so
benellcent 11 charity by thu gift of this lot
to Iho Creche?"
Some weeks ugo an appeal was ad
dressed li v the members of the board lo
three hundred of Omaha's leading citizens
for a much needed sum of money. With
the exception of a lew gifts the response
was not satisfactory. Theie are many rea
sons for this seeming Indifference. Manv
people were out of town at that time, main
were giving all thev could spare to start
new chnrltP'S, while others are lutctidtnz
to send large donations later nn, It Is to
be hoped.
The homo Is In need of repair and for
this cash must be provided.
I have touched upon a few of the salient
points of our work, but for a full under
standing of It one must become a member
of Its woi king force, make frequent visit
to the home and become acquainted with
the little 0111 s and their grateful mothers.
The Creche Is open for visitors dally
Saturday excepted -bet ween the hours of
lu a in. and ti :. m
That oir needs will be limply provided
for and our hands and hearts strengthened
for our work, Is the fervent prayer of

The new homo of tho Sldters of the fiend
Shepherd, Forty-third and Jackson streets,
though only partly finished, has been nc
ctiphd by tho sisters and their wards for
several weeks. Much work remains to be
dnno to mako nil doors available for their
intended uses, and thu grounds must be
graded and fenced. Tho financial resources
of tho sisters aro exhausted and they urn
obliged to appeal for assistance to tho gen
erous people of Omnha, who know and ap
preciate good tlcedH. To Mart and syatema
tlzn tho movement In aid of this public
charity a meeting will bo held at tho con
vent nt ,1-30 p, m. Sunday, September in,
at which Dlshop Scnnnell will preside, All
persons Interested In tho work carried on by
tho slslers nre requested lo attend.
Tho flood Shepherd's homo Is to erring
girls what an orphanage Is to the hnmnlchs
child. It Is a house of rescuo from a life
too awful to contemplate and n protection
for the weak. Thero are now about eluhty
wnrds lu the home, and the cost of maln
tenatico is large. With tho buildings and
grounds completed as planned It Is believed
the homo will bn self-sustaining. The
amount required is not great and friends
of tho htmo anticipate no grant dlltlculty
in set tiring tho sum needed afti r an organ
ization la effected and plans adopted.
