The other day I heard o. .am
ily that was badly in need. . I went
out to investigate . .
They lived In a third-class down
town apartment house, near the
river. The house, needed a. coat
of paint, some window; panels
were broken, and old newspapers
were used to keep the wind out.
The foundation under .the front
porch was rotted away. The fam
ily lived upstairs. - When I knock
ed at the door, a woman opened
it and asked me ; in an , un
friendly r way, what -1 .desired.
When I. told her, she .hanged her
attitude, and Invited me inside.
I toolt her for about. 4 0 years
of age. - Her clothes were shaggy.
and soiled, her shoes were torn.
and her hair was uncombed, her
face looked tired' .and grieved.
They lived in .two . rooms, poor,
sordid,. dirty, dusty.' :
A girl of, about 17 years was
standing before a broken mirrar
powdering her face, i painting her
lips and eyebrows. The dress she
wore was- of good material, silk,
I believe,' but it ; had seen much
wear. She turned slightly when
I entered, but seemed to have no
interest as soon as she saw I was

and the world- -
That same afternoon I went out
to see a ni an who; wanted ;to sell
his. small place, or make a trade
for a bigger and better one. They
owned two lots, a. nice green. lawn
was in front of the house, the rest
was in apples, cherries and prunes,
strawberries and raspberries were
in bloom. A good sized vegetable
gaden was in the back. l.The house
was small, two rooms and a kitch
en downstairs and two rooms up
stairs. It was newly painted and
In" good repair. A lady came to
the- door; fresh, neat, and clean.
The rooms- were In ,fine order,
spick and Bpa"ri' There were' plain
homespun rugs on' the foor, - f Iow
era by the window,' some in full
bloom.- a cage - with ' a beautiful
canary -was hanging-from the ceil
ing. '."A young glrl came forward
to greet me, with some embroid
ery work In her hand. She was
sweet 'and good to look npon
wholesome.-innocent; fresh as the.
morning dew. : A baby was stand
ing in its crib, holding a- rattle In
its, little, fat 1 hands, 'laughing,
strong and healthy. Oh, what a
wonderful picture! A boy of about
14 came into the kichen 'with an
armful ,of .- wood rosy-cheeked,
bright eyes, full of yigor and eager
for work. I had to inspect his
rabbits, chickens, , garden, bicycle,
tools. etcf He seemed .to own all.
Thai lady 1 told me her1 story.
How - they . had started .18 years
ao,, when .they got married; how
fhey' had ;bought the place with
hardly any money; Jhow she had
attended to. the chickens and the
garden, while her husband worked
early and ; late.. Then the first
baby came (the girl I had seen);
what a blessing and joy, this baby.
Her husband had-worked harder
than ever. They had made little
progress at first. Reverses had
come, sickness, no- work, etc., but
tbey had kept . their faith. ? The
struggle ' had pulled them closer
together. Now they ;were over the
hill. The place was all paid for;
they, had some money in the bank.
They could afford a little better
home,' a little more furniture. The
girl was through, high, school, and
the boy ' would start 'next year.
They had : another . girl; of 10 in
the grade school. -; They all were
big enough to help around the
house after school and. look after
the baby.. Her husband had been
