Here is a story of the other extreme. , In the great, wealthy city of Chicago, in a rail­ road yard, lived Sylvia Cervantes, 14, and her three brothers—one two, one four, one six.

Gentle of Atlanta, Ga^ Undoubtedly has maternal aptitude but at the same time has small ambition to make a record of it. Immediately after presenting Leander with the nineteenth hostage to fortune she was willing to quit and call it a day. Nineteen, she thinks, ought to satisfy the maternal instinct of any women. More would be vain display. Thia may be a tittle disappointing to Father Gentle, for he appears to have been bitten by the bug of competition. He already has been to Wash­ ington, where he was placed on exhibition on the state chamber and was introduced to tfce silent man of the White House as the nation’s “ champion father.** There was some talk of putting him in the Rational museum until a South Carolina father show­ ed up with a record of thirty-eight offspring. That aroused bis fighting spirit and he went back home to show ’em what a Gentle could do when crowded. Apparently, however, he. figured without Mrs. Gentle. But he wasn’t so far behind at that, a form­ er Mrs. Gentle having presented him with ton before giving up and making room for a second Wife.
