They had four little ones with them last fall when the blow came. There was Walter, thirteen; George, ten; Annie, seven, and Elsie, three years old, and the family was as happy as six persons can be on $9 a week, with their rent to pay. When the first of October came they could not pay the rent, and | then came eviction, and on Oct. 11 they were put out with the four little chil- @ren on the sidewalk. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children took the hittle ones, and after arraignment in court the two! girls were sent to the Sisters, and the two boys were placed in an asylum. ‘The consumptive father was ordered to pay $4 per week for the gtris’ support and the boys were comitted to an asylum for stealing two pounds of lead pipe from the Subway Company, where ther father worked.
