Job Lot of Waifs.

The late Samuel E. Adams, of Richmond, Ind., was fond of telling of a remarkable coincidence which happened several years ago. During a severe thunder storm a canary bird flew into the house. Within a few minutes a shivering and badly frightened spaniel wqs found begging for admission. The dog was let in. Less than a,ii boyr afterward a child was heard' 'cryipg on the Outside and the door opened to admit a liitle tot scarcely 2 years old. The child, dog and canary were never claimed. Mr. Adams found a comfortable home for the little one, while he continued to care for the dog and bird.
