RUNAWAY GIRL TELLS A SAD
STORY TO POLICE.
Her Brother, However, Arrives Lator
nnd Bluc-Pcnclls It Sho Was
Picked Up Lato at Night by a
Watchman at Robinson's Brewery
and Turned Over to the Police Ac
cidents and Other Items of News
of Yesterday.
"I love my father and mother, but
they whip me so. Anyhow, 1 want to
go home, I am so homesick." Thus
spoke Reba Thomas, as she sobbed
hysteilcally, yesterday afternoon nt
the police station. She Is a ptlm, good
looking little miss of 15 yeuis, though
not as large as one of her yeurs would
be expected to be. She was nwnltlng
the arrangements of tho police au
thorities to have her returned whence
sho came.
Sho wns found not long before day
light yesterday morning, sitting on the
steps of the big lee plant of Robin
son's brewery, on Seventh street.
Michael Stern, the kind-hearted watch
man, was attracted by her sobs. Sho
poured n pltlfj tale of want, exposure
and neclect Into his ears. She had
come from England last year and from
New York city nbout four months ago.
Both parents are In England, and her
grandma In New York city had died,
and she was alone in tho world.
Coming here from New York city,
she had secured work with a family In
Taylor, but Monday evening she was
turned loose on the world. That was
the gist ot her story. Watchman Stern
turned her over to Patrolman Marker.
Owen Davis, who resides oer the West
Scranton police station, cared for tho
glil during the remainder of the night.
Mrs. Davis' evident sympathy won the
wanderer's heart and she confessed
that she was a runaway.
Her father is Benjamin J. Thomas, of
120 Meade sticet, Wllkes-Barre He Is
a firoboss at tho Stanton mines. She
was one of eight children. She went
to school when there was school, but
at the least thing she was whipped
"sometimes without any clothes on,"
she said. She went to the store where
tho family dealt and obtained $2 and
took n train for Scranton. As to w hero
eNe sho had been is hard to tell, for
sho Is contradictory when questioned.
Anyhow, after wandering around until
she was tired, she sought tho deserted
place where she was found and sat
down and cried.
The girl seems to be intelligent and
was plainly but neatly clad, indicating
that she had had n good home. She,
however, seems to allow hetself to bo
governed by whims and alternately
speaks truthfully and then misrepre
sents. Tho police will turn her over
to her fnthcr when ho arrives heie.
Arrangements were first made to send
her to the Crlttenton mission, but she
grew alarmed and told of her homo.
Word was Immediately sent to the
Wllkes-Barre police authorities and
they w 111 look the parents up and notify
them of her whereabouts.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughtoro Should bo Oarofully
Quldod la Early Womanhood.
What suffering1 frequently results
from a mother's ignorance; or moro
frequently from n mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter I
Trodltlon Bays "woman must suffer,"
and young women nro so taught.
There is n. llttlo truth nnd a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely sho needs
treatment and her mother should see
that sho gets It.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion; but no mother need hesitate to
writo freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. 1'lnkhnm nnd sccuro
tho most cfllclcnt ndvlco without
charge. Mrs. riukham's address is
Lynn, Mnss.
The following letter from Miss Marie
P. Johnson, Ccntralla, l'a., shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
I'lnkham helped her:
"My health bocamo bo poor that I
had to lcavo school. I was tired all tho
time, and had dreadful pains in my
sldo and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends beenmo nlarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per
haps they might benefit me, and wroto
you for advice, i followed tho advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
