AN UNFILIAL SON.
The Neiv Zealand Times says:— An applicant at the meeting of the Benevolent Institution Trustees on Tuesday h;;d a very sorry tale to tell. Ec was a middlengedman, and early this year took a trip' to England for the benefit of his health. When ho went away he left his wife and family in good circumstances. Judge of his dismay, however, when, on returning to New Zealand, he heard of the sad news of the death of his wife. With all speed he hastened from the south to Wellington to care for his children. But on his arrival he found that his eldest son had drawn his wife's life insurance money, got married, and then sold the house and left for another town, taking two of the children with him and leaving three. And now this dutiful son was trying to get these children placed in a home^o as to rid himself of encumbrance. The trustees pointed out to the man that the law would give him redress, but the man said he would not take his son into court. The trustees not being able to do anything for him, the applicant withdrew.
