. And the Baby Is Doing Fine.' '
Jack McLaughlin, who represents
the Illinois Central railroad in. this
territory, is here today from Port
land. ' When seen by an Observer
reporter he said, "the baby is fine.
She' is five months old and has a
front tooth. In explanation, It
might be said that one evening when
Jack and his wife had retired for the
night in their Portland bungalow they
were awakened by the cries of an
. infant which had been feft on their
front porch. There was some
scrambling in the McLaughlin home.
Jack looked at his wife and his wife
looked at Jack. J'Shall we keep the
little thingt" remarked the man of
the house. A faint cry from the
iittfd bundle decided the matter. "We
certainly will," answered Mrs. Mc
Laughlin. And they did. AH the
bonds issued by the Illinois Central
would not separate that baby from
, the McLaughlin home now.
