240THE ST. JAMES ORPHANAGE Happy Days Spent by the Inmates of a Worthy Charitable Institution. Excellent Discipline -- The Routine Work of the Day -- The Good Sisters and Their Charges. The children call her Sister Lastics. Her real name is Sister Mary Scholastics, and her duties, with thirteen other Sisters of Mercy, are to care for the children at the St. James orphanage. This place of refuge is on that stretch of rolling, grass covered prairie northwest of the city. When this prairie is left as God made it it is beautiful in the extreme. It swells and undulates away into purple nothingness, and all over the bearded grass dandelions nod their delicate hands, and and yellow butterflies with eye like spots upon their wings submit [?] to the buffettings of the wind But it sometimes happens that God proposes and man disposes. And man, who has a mania, in this part of the country, for cutting down hills, has resolved the place into a series of clay cuttings, which in wet weather are almost impassable because of the mud, and in dry weather are the home of the infant simoons, which pepper the eyes with torturing particles of clay. | 240 |
