MANY LITTLE BABES
ARE HUNTING HOMES
[Special to The Sentinel.]
Milwaukee, Oct. 5. There were sixty-seven of them and sixty-seven varieties. They were babies, from 2 years up to 5, all colors, shapes, sizes and previous conditions of servitude. Little waifs they were, the discard of New York, out in search of a home far from the center of sorrows and woes that they were born into.
On the way to St. Paul from New York a special car with these babies passed through Milwaukee. With the children there were several Sisters of Charity and two trained nurses.
The Home Finding Society of New York is sending them West to deal them out into good homes among the farmers near St. Paul.
When the conductor came out of the car there was a suspicion of moisture in his eyes.
