A wealthy man received an invitation to the Protectory's golden jubilee. He was now wealthy and held a high position in the national government, but the Protectory had sheltered him when he was a friendless waif, so his feelings toward the great institution were those of deepest gratitude. Accompanied by his little grand-daughter, he visited his old home. While the statesman viewed the impressive ceremonies his little grand-daughter formed the acquaintance of one of the Protectory boys. The statesman heard the boy's story and the little chap's pathetic tale of privation touched the successful man and awoke memories of his own past. He determined to take the child to his handsome home, educate him and make him a credit to the Protectory. The boy left the institution with his new guardian and is now being carefully educated. He is a manly little fellow, and the statesman, "the Protectory's oldest boy," firmly believes that in years to come the great institution will be proud to name the youngster as one or their graduates.
