Want to Find a Home For The Motherless Krout Baby,

Joseph Kosta, on whose farm the deplorable accidental shooting of Mrs. H, 8. Krout took place, was in town Tuesday and Informed .the editor of The Republican that Mr. Kroqt was unable to take care of the 7-month-old girl baby left motherless by the accident and that he desired to find a home for the little one. Mr. Kosta says that the baby is a plump little thing and perfectly healthy and that rather than see it fail to secure a good home himself and wife will take It along with their large family and do the best they can for it. Mr. Kosta and wife already have a little baby in their home and .certainly this spirit of sacrifice is commendable, but it should not he necessary, as there should be some home in which the little one would find a cordial welcome. The pairents of the child are said to be good morally and honest. These qualities should be sufficient to recommend the unfortunate babe to a good home.
