MANY FORTER-FATHERS.
There is a girl in Stockholm who has as many “fathers” as there are policemen in the city. This sounds rather strange, hut the explanation is that Marie Olofsson’s father was a policeman. and as he and his wife died when the child was very small, his comrades adopted tne child. The policemen raked a fund toward the girl’s education, and soon every man in the force kept a loving guard over Marie. Each year three policemen are appointed to net as foster-fathers and to give her a good home and education.
