MONTREAL SOCIAL WORKERS STRUCK THE LaMIT -- i Tales He Used His Wife And Children In a} *™ Brutal Way-- Was Arrested And, HOW THE FROGS Do. FRIGHT. ---- Is Being Examined As To His San- ENED. ity. Once. upon a time Mrs. Frog went Robert C. Dexter, General Seere-" carly one morning to see her neigh- tary of the Charity Organization So- bor across the brook. "Dear me," ciety, told The Montreal Standard ro- she said, '1 was frightened vyeste cently of the meanest man in Mont- day. 1 was sitting on @ big roca real, appropos of the man on Upper | with my children playing near me, Esplanade avenue, whose two little when I heard a great noise and, as girls were recently found hungry and | I looked to see what it was, I saw a half-frozen and who received tem | boy with a big rock in his hand just cents a day from their father for about to throw it at us. I was just their keep. The man Mr. Dexter re- jabout to tell the children to dive for fers to owns several houses, bis wife | is in delicate health, and he has three small children. He beats his wife often, and gives her twenty-five cents | a week for household expenses. "We tried to argue him into treat- | ing his family better," said Mr. Dox- | ter, "but we simply could not move him, and so as a last resort we had him arrested quietly. He is being | examined at the present time as to his sanity, while we ate taking care of the wife and children, but I am doubtful in my mind about bis men- action is caused by pure meanness on his part." While there has been very little lack of employment this winter as compared with the last two winters, or poverty and misery due to that, Mr. Dexter's records show that there has been much more insanity, com- | sumption, and wife desertion. | The insanity he ascribes to the | general unrest that is prevailing on account of the war, which seems to have thrown the majority of people, and particularly young women into a state of intense nervous excitement. It is, in fact, amongst young women, and particularly those from the Un- ited States coming here for positions, that this has been noticed mostly. What makes the thing worse is that the cases are not so violent that immediate action by the authorities can be urged, and much red tape which is necessary to send the girls that come here from the United | States and suddenly become derang- ed, back to where they come from. Wife desertion is due to some- what similar influences. There are hundreds of men who want to go where the fighting is and who are turned down at the medical examination of the army doctors. They then try to obtain positions as helpers on transports and ships carrying horses and other war ma- terial so as to get to France, and the wives are left. As to tuberculosis, that is mostly due to la grippe. "Well-to-do people," says Mr. Dex- ter, "take care of themselves when they have la grippe, but working men and women, unable to stand re- duction in their wages, keep on working, get pneumonia, and through the same inability to fight the grippe properly, allow the pneumonia to de- generate into consumption. "We have looked after several cases, and amongst these we found one, where the father was very far gones and where the only support of himself and three children was thé" mother, while the children looked after the father. We guaranteed the mother as much money as she was earning if she would stay home and look after the busband, following whatever instructions our. doctors might give her, and let the children be cared for in such a manner that they would be safe from being im- pregnated with the disease. "She agreed to do so, and what- ever can be done to save the man is now being done. "But in many cases the people refuse to do as we ask them to do. "There was one case not long ago of a woman with children who. was destitute and sick, but refused to go to the hospital although she waa: compelled by whatever illness she was suffering from, to stay in bed. "Finally our visitor told ber that unless she would do as she was told and have herself examined, she could not receive any help whatever, and after considerable arguing, she finally gave in. "That insistence on our visitor saved her life At the hospital it was found that she was suffering from an aggravated case of appendicitis and that the appendix would surely have burst in another tweaty-four 'hours. Red Cross Work. Mrs. Sternes Hicks, Convener of the Red Cross supplies at the Toron- to. Women's Patriotic League, ship- ped between September "and March 2,196,965 articles, of which 1,744, 262 were surgical supplies, 1,328 pil- lows, 24,399 pillow cases, 11,500 sheets, 23,132 towels, 27,822 hospi- tal nightshirts, pyjamas, dressing- gowns, combined, 7,768 shirts (flan- nel), 34,458 pairs cks, 54,743 cigars and cigarettes, 2,304 pounds tobacco, 15,821 canned fruit and vegetables, 6,447 Christmas stock- ings, 242,981 miscellaneous articles. This work was contributed by the 270 Toronto Red Cross circles, the two Red Cross rooms at the League, as well as that of individuals. In addition this department has sent out 17,900 postcards of acknowledg- meat and numerous letters. Big Prices for Sheep. Ower 33,000 was realized from the sale of 100 sheep at the farm of Lloyd Jones, Burford, Ont., recently. Buyers were present from all over the U States and Canada. Prices ran high. The champion ram of Can- ada was sold to Bailey, of Brantford, for $105, and C. W. Chandler, of Kellestone, Iowa, paid $115 for a two-year-old Shropshire ram; Lar- kin and Com_ any, of Queenston, paid $1,000 for 31 head. Cross Has Arrived. The Chevalier's Cross of the Le" gion of Honor bestowed on the late Captain George T. Richardson has arrived in Kingston. The cross is a most beautiful piece of work. Beside the cross and a picture of the late bearing the follow- tal condition, and really believe a | | the part of 'say: 'Don't do that, their lives, when 1 heard someone Don't hurt any living thing. It is cruel," and the boy dropped the stone right away. To be sure, he said he wasn't going to really throw it, but you know it frightened the children so that they are afraid to come up to the surface for even their sun bath to-day." "Yes, that is so," replied her neighbor. "I wonder why boys like to throw stones at us. 1 wish they could know that even if it doesn't hurt us, it hurts to be so frightened." "Well," said Mrs. Frog, '1 found out at that it was some school ¢ hildren and their teacher having a day in the woods. I wish you could have heard her talk. Why she knew as much about us as we know about oursel- ves and she told the children all about what we did and what we ate, and I was so' thankful she told the scholars not to throw things at us. "1 was so pleased that I and all the children swim about and - dive Just to show the schqol children and they seemed to like us after that and fed us from the food in their lunch baskets." Just then something soft and red fluttered right down in front of the two frogs. "Goodness, if there isn't someone trying to tech us with a piece of red flannel," exclaimed Mrs, Frog. "I must run right home for children may have forgotten what 1 told them," and off swam' Mrs Frog Just in time to warn her children that the red flannel was only a bait to. catch them with. Then they all Swam away to some other rocks where the boys could not find them to try and catch them.
