 In speaking of the work that has been accomplished in the extension of the water works during the past year. the report says:
 At the end of the past fiscal year, there had been laid and completed 2s. 57 miles of street mains, together with 272 fire hydrants, and 455 gate valves. Of this amount there was laid during the fiscal year ending October |. 1906, the total of t2.ss miles, to- gether with 125 fire hydrants and 2s3 gate valves.

Once, a few years ago, I saw q. beautiful
young girl there, whose father had died
in the service of his country. Her first
years were in the orphans home at Leay-
enworth I think, from which she was
adopted by a farmer in the western part
OF the state. This foster father and a fos-
ter brother, when she came to young Wo-
manhood wrought her ruin. And she
looked so young and unequal to the battle
before her
Her story, with variations, is repeated

PLEA FOR BALANCED CHARITY
Wen Known Topeka Woman Discusses
the Local Situation.

To the Editor of The State Journal
I read with interest the article on the
Crittenden home that appeared in the
Saturday issue Of The State Journal. It's
modest plea for 81 600 was most appealing.
In all the city's list of needy ones there
is no charity so associated with heart
breaking sorrow as this Crfttenden home,
and yet maybe It was on account of the
coming cold wave Of Sunday, or maybe I
an naturally pessinaistic. that I have a
n1isgiving about that 81, 600 being garnered
in this week
The bestowaI of charity IS manifestly
ones own business. and no one demand
for it is likely to be troubled with an en-
barrassment of riches Topeka Is generous,
and I vote solid for Topeka every time
And yet at the risk Of making myself un-
popular. may I not say that our charity IS
not always balanced
You and 7 know now. Mr. Editor, ex-
actIy what would happen to the solicitor
on Kansas avenue who started out to Sc
