Washington last January to consider the
needs of poor children. that over one

country and over three hundred thousand
families are willing to take them into

solve the problem, but a little more study

Mrs. Payne has always been in SYM
pathy with the propasandas aimed to
improve the condition of dependent chill
dren. She took a lively interest in the
convention which President Roosevelt
called last January to discuss the best
methods of solving the problems which
loom up so ominously. She is among
those who attended every session, who
noted what was suggested and who will

auctions of those conferences are carried

Mrs Payne feels an intense interest in
and has pondered the question seriously
herself. But she sees no solution except
the one which has been followed success
fully for years in communities where
poor and orphan children have been cared
for and Overwhelmingly, a compromise
between the asylum and provision in a
private home. She relates that in her
home city. Auburn, \. Y, there Is an eX-

fort is made to preserve the individuality
of the child and to bring out his natural

these lines has seen cases where chill
dren may be placed in orphanages for a
time. where they are sheltered, fed and
clothed. Sometimes they are taken again
by their parents, sometimes they remain
until they reach maturity in these homes.
Then there are children who have to be
taken from vicious parents by action of
the law. The most charitable person
would shrink from taking the offspring of
vicious parents into the home. Even the
humblest homekeeper wants to preserve
the sanctity of the home. and this is an
other vital consideration of the useful
ness Of aSylums."
This agitation. however, appeals to Mrs.
Payne as one of the hopeful signs OF
the future. There are few communities,
Mrs. Payne thinks, where the citizens are
not inspired to do the best they know
how for the orphan. the INDECENT. the sick.
the mentally incapable, for all kinds of
human misery and affiiction which be-
comes a public duty. But 1t is for the
leaders Of thought to point out the way,
for i'll directed efforts to be charitable
have often wrought more harm than in
difference and hardness of heart. When
the brainy men and women of the nation
who have made charity. philanthropy and
social problems their life study show the
way there will be thousands of willing
hands and even thousands of willing dol
lars stretched out to help the cause.
There presents itself to Mrs. Payne a
way Of working for the welfare of chill
dren which she would like treated and
remedied, II there be a panacea for such
an indefinite, rather intangible sort of evil.
This is the modern tendency among girls
to seek amusement away from home.
Mothers among the poorer but absolutely
respectable and self-respecting class seem
to lose control OF their young boys and
girls at the most critical period OF their
life at twelve, thirteen and up to their
maturity.

SUES TRACTION COMPANY.

Fred Mann has sued the Manitowoc
& Northern Traction Co. for damages
for being elected from car recently.
Mann is employed by the Two Rivers
Woodenware company and resides in
this city. On entering a car at Two
Rivers he rendered workingman' g
ticket in payment Of fare, which the
conductor declined to accept, and on
Mann's refusal to pay cash. elected him.
Some time ago the Traction Co. discon
tinued selling tickets to workingmen at
discount and charged fare of ten
cents straight. 1t seems Mann has a
supply of tickets which are good only on
certain cars, and not being on such cars,
was put off, though he had often rode
before on cars other than those specified
on the ticket.

Thos Higgins last Thursday. The am.

Death of Miss Sophia Jansen.

On last Saturday morning at 9
o'clock the many friends of Miss
Sophia Jansen were shocked when
they learned that she had passed
away at the Holy Family hospit-
al. Many knew that she was sick
but supposed and hoped that she
would soon recover. She had
been in poor health for some weeks
and was taken to the hospital,
where she underwent an operation
some two weeks ago. There was
no improvement after the opera
tion and as stated above on last
Saturday morning the curtain of
life fell softly down.
Miss Jansen was daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bernhard Jansen,
1412 Marshall street. She was
born in this city and had lived
here all her life. Had she lived
until Monday last, she would have
been twenty years of age. She
was graduate of st. Boniface
school and was an intelligent and
attractive young lady of amiable
disposition. She was favorite in
social circles and was held in high
esteem by heI numerous friends.
For the past five years, off and on,
she worked in the PILOT office
and was alwsys faithful, con.
scientious and painstaking EN-.
ploye.
Mysterious are the DEGREES of
fate, the laws of life and death.
This beautiful young girl, in the
morning of life, has gone to her
account and sleeps in an honored
but all too early grave, leaving
sorrow behind her IN the hearts of
those that loved her fondly, her
memory a fragrance to all that
knew her.
She is survived by her parents,
four brothers, John, Bernhard,
Henry and Gerald, and two sisters,
Misses Christine and Elizabeth, all
of this city.
The funeral was held Tuesday
morning from st. Boniface church
and burial was in Calvary ceme-
terry. May her soul rest in peace.
