"I expect to pass through this
world but once; if therefore, there
be any kindness I can show, or
any good thing I can do to any
fellow human being, let me do it
NOW, for I shall not pass this
way again."
This picture shows the Slife
family as it now is. The beauti-
ful little girl now adopted as
their own, was the least one of
the three Davis children whose
group-picture was in The Home
Finder two numbers back. (De-
cember, 1903.) The Home Find-
er readers will remember that
g^oup, and the appearance of
the children then; and also the
happy home-group in same num-
ber of The Home Finder of the
older two children Robert Henry
and Lillie May with their adopt-
ed Mother; and no doubt many
felt a sad sympathy for little
Anna, and hoped she too would
get a good home. And she
has.
These are her foster parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John and Rosa
Slife, who recently sold their
farm home in Caddo County,
Oklahoma, and have located
new Fay, in Dewey County, 0.
T.—They are members of the
Brethren or "Dunkard" Church,
and are thrifty intelligent, good
people.

or if you remember the little
middle child, could hardly tell
child, but it is the same little
Anna, in a good Christian home,
loved and cared for as the "poor
management would not
not; nor could the "Or-
Home" grouping and man-
nt, so well care for her,
I lore her as do the3e foster
jeet.
