Deserted Child Deserted by her
mother, who went away with the rest
of her children, the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Virgin has had a
hard time of it. She is now living
with a Martin family. the members of
which are friends of her father and
mother. The case was brought to the
attention of Humane Officer George
Gilman through the arrest of the faith
er of the child, together with two of
his neighbors for fighting. 1t seems
that some weeks ago Mrs. Virgin left
her home, together with three little
children. The one girl, however, was
left with her husband. This child was
placed by the husband with the Mar
tin family. Now the mother has writ
ten from Peoria, H., where she is now
living to a friend in this city, asking
that the child be sent to her and offer
ing to pay for the ticket.

SAVED BY ELDER BROTHER
Six-Year-old Boy Held Throughout Entire Night Above Water by
 Lad of Eight.

Petaluma, Cal.-Little Davie Mego, aged eight years. saved his little broth- CT, stx years of age. from drowning and stayed by creek into which his little brother. Louie Mego. had fallen. holding him to prevent his slipping to certain death in the waters. Davie Mego's vigil lasted through the entire night of heavy rainstorm, but he stayed at his post like veteran.
 The two children were returning to Petaluma from an errand into the country and attempted to jump small stream. The younger child failed to clear the stream and could not get out. Davie could not pull his brother from the mud and water. so he calm ly sat down by the edge of the stream, took hold of his brothers clothing and remained holding him all through the long night in a drenching storm.
 At daylight he had succeeded in get ting his brother out of the stream, but the little fellow was SO cold from re- mainine in the water he could neither walk nor talk. When the elder broth CT returned with assistance the child had become unconscious from his ex- perience and was with dificulty re- suseitated. Efforts are being made to prevent the child's taking diph,heria.

The great old standby Friends" with which Milton Royle used to pack 'em in" at the Jacques when that playhouse was the home of the legitimate, will be the offering made by the summer stock company at Polls next week. The play needs no introduction to the older generation of playgoers, but it has a charm which the younger one needs to ex- perience. The story is simply and beautifully told, the plot interesting and the situations filled with sound human feeling. There Is a strong vein of wholesome comedy in the piece, but 1t is at all times subser- vient to the tale of the two men friends whose affection for one an- other not even love for the same wo- man can destroy. The characters in the cast are unusually striking and the contrast of types more than or dinarily we'll marked. The principal roles will be assumed by Helene Ware, Richard Gordon, Willard Dashiell, Frank Wallace and Jack Kennedy. Prices are 10. 20 and 80 cents. matinee 10 and 20 cents. la dies 10 cents.

 The military trophy adopted for the reverse consists of an eagle perched on cannon. with five standardas sig niflcant of the five great campaigns in which the United States army has been engaged; an Indian spear, shield and culver, a Filipino bolo and a Malay kriss.

 The eagle on the merit medal Is taken from the famous marble Ro- man eagle in the possession of Lord Wemyss, formerly Lord Elcho. we'll known for his great interest in the British volunteers.
 The design for the ribbons are as follows:
