From the st. Paul PioneefPreSs.
The report Of Miss Grace Johnson.

they have refrained largely from expend-
ing money for emergency relief work.
The charity has maintained visiting
nurses to minister to the poor who are
sick. 1t has assisted generously In the
white plague. 1t has handled in its
pension list class OF cases that no
other organization in the city could
touch. The pension roll OF the orsaani-
zation includes the names of 2&S peo-
pie. who through age or infirmity. are
in need Of regular assistance The
society is maintaining a day nursery az
which the children of working women
are cared for while the mothers are at

to help the worthy poor as individuals.

death in the waters OF the Eastern branch

street northeast, had gone to the East
ern branch shortly before noon They
were at Forden's wharf a short dis
lance from the Benning road bridge. The
little fellows removed their clothing, ex-
cept their underclothes. which answered
the purpose of bathing suits.
All three jumped into the water and
were splashing about near the shore
where the water was only foot or more
deep. Becoming venturesome, Thomas
waded out. Almost before he knew 1t
he had taken one step too far and In an
instant had gone beyond his depth. He
arose to the surface of the water. but
being unable to swim sank again. while
the water entered his mouth when he
cried for help The other boys, also un-
able to swim. cried for help
Cries Bring Help.
The cries Of the drowning boy and his
companions attracted Davis and Police
man Phil Brown OF the ninth precinct.
The officer was on the Benning bridge
and started on a run. Davis, however.
was on the bank, only a short distance
away Without removing any of his
clothing, the colored man plunged into
the water and soon had the little fellow
on shore.
The boy was unconscious when taken
out on the land and 1t was some time
before Davis and Policeman Brown re-
suscitated him. After the boy had fully
recovered he and his brothers dressed
and returned to their home.
A number Of persons were attracted to
the place by the rescue and cries of the
boys, and Davis was congratulated for
his promptness in jumping into the water
and rescuing the boy. Policeman Brown
declared that had Davis not jumped into
the water when he did the boy would
have undoubtedly drowned.
