at her last struggle, but appeared
the next morning--too late.
That brutal impersonator of a man
should be promptly cut of the sal
AIRY list.
With the little baby sister in her
arms and the other children clinging
to her in their fright at the approach
of death, Agnes OKeefe bravely did
her best to minister to the dying
mother, She prepared simple rem
edies to the best of her ability and
worked over the PROSTATE form until
the body grew cold.
Kindly disposed neighbors came in
at the last moment to render what
assistance they could give. But the
mother was too far gone through
neglect of unnanly physicians who
were too busy hghting over code
OF ethics, and the maintaining OF
fees. to attend to dying poor
woman.
County aid In burial was offered,
but the brave little orphan struggled
for a grave outside the pauper field,
and got II.

as mother to the orphans.
At present the O'Keefe children
live at S317 Madison street in humble
bare-fioored rooms.
1t was there that one of the city
detectives, too modest to have his
name published, went as soon as he
heard of the case. There he offered
to take the baby for adoption by his
sister-in-law.
But Agnes O'Keefe, despite her
tender years, has the instincts of a
mother.
Il can't let the baby go. have
cared for her ever since she was two
days old. 1t may be wrong, but
will try to keep the children to-
gether. God will help me to fight
this battle through by myself.
am strong and can work for the
children so we will keep the baby
and be all together"
Aroused by the noble courage Of
the little child mother, the officer
went away to tell his story. Many
were interested and in a short time
he had collected $24 with which to
give the child a start. Wood had
already been bought and arrange
ments made to move the children to
another home at 220 Madison street
where cheaper rent and better neigh
bors can be secured
There Agnes O'Keefe will start in
the battle for existence, alone, but
not unfriended; brave in her little
motherly heart and strong in her de-
termination to keep the children to-
gether."
Agnes O'Keefe, so long as she keeps
her health, does not want charity.
Those II years of caring for the
children have developed her into a
woman so far as mind and experience
go.
All she asks is the opportunity to
work "for the baby"
81 can do laundry work at home,
perhaps little plain sewing, and we
shall get along. l can keep my sister
in school until she finishes next year
and then she will be of some assist
ance. OF course, l can't go out to
work with the baby, but any sacri-
fees are better than to give her
away to strangers"
Truly that broken, martyred moth
err is quietly proud of the Agnes she
left behind.

The prizes for last week in the school childrens
test made difficult in selection because of the
many good stories sent in The improvement in the class
OF news and the composition of the stories marked.
Owing to crush Of foreign day, the stories
were not printed, but used the following day and
due credit given.
There still few who write both sides of the
paper and this has counted against them.
Undoubtedly the best story of the week the hodup
story of Arden Bankson.
Next came the queer tale by Lorel Roestel of the

Roy Delgroves story of the best in the week S

Although but II years of age,
pretty little Agnes OKeefe has taken
mp the battle OF life against odds
which would dishearten many an
older person.
Not only is the girl, barely past
her childhood setting forth to earn
her own living, but she intends to
support her little brother and two
sisters, one babe of IL months.
And she will succeed.

will come fast enough when the plans
are adopted and the scramble for the
contracts begins.
Several citizens are kicking over
the action Of the water commission
in CHASING them as water hogs
without thoroughly investigating
One of these kicks is appended:
Editor Press: In the report of
the water commission 1 notice that
some figures are quoted tending to
show the extravaganza of certain
consumers.
For some years I was the owner
Of the property on the corner of
Eighth avenue and Cannon street,
consisting of 75 feet on Eighth ave-
nue. by 142 feet on Cannon street
with parking 12h feet wide on both
streets.
Il allowed the water department
/ to install a test meter in my resi-
dence and the results obtained are
now being used as an argument in
! favor of the meter system.
You will probably not be surpris-
, ed to learn that the figures supplied
to the commission by the water de-
! partment are grossly incorrect and
that the mistake errs in favor of Mr.
Weymouth and his well known hobby
THE lawn space of the property
was reported to the commission as
SITS square feet. The strip of park
ing comprising 1869 square feet has
been entirely ignored In other words,
the water l consumed was used to
irrigate 11,647 square feet, instead of
S77S, the difference being made up
! of property belonging to the city and
which I endeavored to beautify by
converting into lawn. The figures
given to the commission were taken
during the summer in which the strip
was so converted.
II will leave others to judge of the
motive which prompted the use of
such grossly inaccurate figures. In
, stead of using 12.1 inches of water
in one month, as the report states,
I only used 8 inches-and that at a
time when great portion of 1t was
used upon city property.
II understand that the water meter
plan needs strenuous boosting to
make it popular, but I failed to see
why 1 should be held up as an ex-
ample and be styled water hog
by Mr.. Weile merely for the purpose
of seupplying an argument in favor

BLONDS AND BRUNETTES ARE ALL

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20.-It Is
not generally believed the assassina-
ton of Sergius will cause the car
to reconsider his proclamation of re-
forms for working men. 1t is thought
probable the opposite effect will re-
suit and new era will be FASTENED
by the act which is taken to indicate
the desperate state of minds of the
revolutionary element. 1t has trans
pired that Sazoneoff, assassin of NJ.
Plehve, wrote a confession before his
execution, giving in detail the aims
of the terrorists, which included the
assassination of Sergius. He said:
I'VE don't expect to overthrow the
existing system by means of assas-
sinations. Our one object is to
avenge the cruel wrongs inflicted
upon the people. Van Plehve was
assassinated not because it was
thought to shatter the government
but because of his innumerable
crimes.
Our party in reality is devoted to
a peaceful propag anda and it is only
when the ministers refuse us our
rights when speaking in the human
language that we use a language of
another kind. 1t is the violent re-
preston of popular aspirations which
causes our revolutionism. 1t is be-
cause the government does not per-
nit freedom of speech and of the
press and an assembly that we
preach the necessity for change"

Arrangements have been made to
hold thet.s st executive meeting Of
the city council next Friday night
to so over the water system plans.
At that meeting Professor Waller,
Otto Weile, Engineer Scott of Seattle
and City Engineer Gill and Assistant
Mcintyre will be present to do that
which should have been done at the
beginning, confer over the two plans.
City Engineer Gill has maintained
all along that the water commission
gave him no recognition as city engi-
neer and that the members Of the
commission neglected to inform them
selves thoroughly as to his plans.
This Is claimed as a reason for mis-
statements made in that connection.
The assertion of Otto Weile that
the city engineer appropriated part
of the commission plans is resented
by the city engineers staff. Mr.. Gill
stated this morning that not single
change had been made in his plans,
which were drawn before the commits
sion met, and that the charge of
taking the commission ideas merely
proves the fact that the commission
did not go into his plans thoroughly.
But it Is expected that all this
wrangling will end when the engi-
neers get together before the council
and, abolishing personalities, get
down to the business of doing some
thing for the public good.
There is hardly any doubt of the
corps of engineers getting together,
at least sufficiently to permit of the
council taking action.
With the thorough elimination of
the water meter gang, the plans will
be left in >such shape that the engi-
neers will be able to accomplish some
thing
Some of the councilmen still favor
submitting the two plans to a con-
trolling engineer, but this matter
will be held in allegiance until it is
seen whether the joint efforts OF the
present engineers may or may not re-
suit in something definite.
There is still considerable criticism
over the attempt to inject politics
into the dispute over the report and
the plans. but the attempt was so
abortive that the stop thief" cry
has reacted. AS yet the plans for a
new and better water supply have
not progressed sufficiently, since the
defeat of the water meter gang, to
warrant the playing of politics. That
