POOR GIRL LEFT IN PITIFUL PLIGHT

Mother's Bad 7.
Ona of th saddest stories la be told dur
l the Tule-tlda aeaaon In umaha was
r-Mtfd Thursday afternoon by Miss Nona
Krwser at the undertaking- rooms of
Brimr Dor ranee, where the body of
VV sari's mother awaits interment.
Oie girl had supported her Invalid mother
or several years. Thursday Miss Bowker
was It years of ae and Wednesday night
the mother, whose name waa Mrs. Belle
Russell, insisted on making a cake for her
daughter and only child. The girl, knowing
the weak condition of her mother, remon
strated with her, but it was unavailing.
Mrs. Russell was afflicted with nervous
prostration for five years and the effort
of Wednesday night proved too much, so
the doctor said.
Mrs. Rusoell's second husband left ber
some months ago and his whereabouts are
not known. It has taken all the girl's
earnings to provide for herself and mother.
Mlsa Bowker broke down Thursday after
noon when ahe told several reporters she
did not know how she would be able to '
bury her mother. Bhe has an uncle In
Iowa, but he has telegraphed that his
home has been visited with affliction and he
Is In no condition to offer assistance.
Coming as It did on her birthday an
niversary, within a few days of Christmas,
the bereaved girl feels she has lost all she
had in the world through the death of her
mother.
It was suggested to her that If the matter
was made known through the newspapers
there would be some charitably Inclined
persons who would be glad to help a
devoted daughter bury her mother and at
the same time cheer her In her hour of
sorrow.
Mis Bowker has worked for soma time
at the Model Steam laundry and Is spoken
of as a good, hard working girl. She lives
at 1811 Lake street.

EIGHT LITTLE O.XKS DESTITUTES
CnMArea Left Motherless mud wltk
I aval Id Father. '
Eight little children, brothers and elsterst
the eldest but U years of age., the youngest
a few months, motherlras, homeless, pen
niless and with an Invalid father unable
to turn a hand for their sake this Is one
of the causes which prompted Rev. A- W.
Clark of the Omaha Child's Saving Institute
to appeal for public aid through The Bee
and other local papers.
"Within a few hours after the appeal
was made," said Mr. Clark, "I received
one $16 check, another 5 check and sub
stantial promlsen of additional aid. We
feel certain the good people of Omaha
who have so nobly helped care for auch
cases of destitution, will come to the
rescue in the present ease Just Ss they
always have done."
The eight little ones Just committed to
the care and protection of Mr. Clark and
his oorps of assistants at the home, rep
resent one of the saddost cases that has
ever come to their attention. The eldest
Is a girl. Their mother died a short time
ago, taking to the grave with her the ninth
little one horn to this destitute household.
The father lies a helpless Invalid la care
of other charitable people, unable to
respond. In the slightest . degree to the
pressing and pitiable needs of his children.
The matter came to the attention of Mr.
Clark and It waa but a short time before
he had the little ones at the Institute.
Mr. Clark had a photograph taken of the
children In a group. The eldest, the girl
1 occupies a chair, holding the babe of a
few months, a. chubby little tot, on her
knee and the other brothers and slaters
are standing closely together. The whole
presents a vivid picture of distressing
pathos and constitutes an irresistible ap
peal to the charitable side of any person's
life.
"We shall keep the little ones and do
the best for them we possibly can," said
Mr. Clark.

cry for bread.
Sho was married when a little girl, but
her devotion and sacrifice for her husband
srere doomed -to rja peculiar harvest.
When she was taken etc her husband
deserted her and with stony heart turned
bis back upon the little family. About two
weeks ag-o word was received from Denver
that the faithless husband had died there.
The mother ook in washings and in this
way managed to support her family until
her baby was born a few days ago. She
could not work then and gradually pro
visions were consumed, until Wednesday
the children were earing flour and water
baked in a miserable little cook stove. A
neighbor called the attention of the Bureau
of Associated Charities to the circumstances
and the case was investigated by Superin
tendent Morris, who provided for the tem
porary relief of the family.
