REPORT OF PRO-
BATON OFFICER
FULL ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAS
BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BETWEEN
SEPTEMBER % AND NOV
EMBER l
To the Board of County Commission

ers:
Five needy little children have
claimed my attention the past month.
The little Mexican boy, whose mother
is in the insane hospital, came back
wonderfully improved physically by
the three months visit to a northern
farm, which had been arranged by a
lady who is interested in him. Through
the kind assistance of an American
consul, the uncle of this boy was
reached, and he sent the necessary
railroad fare for the child's transpor-
tation to his Mexican home. Efforts
were made to secure temporary homes
for two little children in the northern
lpart of the county, while their father
Ireceived surgical attention, but before
final arrangements We're made he left
the county with the children. Two
other motherless children had to be
cared for during the sickness of their
father, and the three year old girl was
greatly benefited oy the care which
she received in the excellent home
which sheltered her. AS it became ne
cessary to find another place for the
ten year old boy during the last two
weeks before the father could take
them again, I had to take him into
my home, -as no other place could be
found for him.
Several cases of sickness and need
were reported, though in one case the
sick woman refused to be made an OBJ
ject of charity, and was indignant at
the well-meaning friends who report
ed her case. She declared she could
provide for herself as soon as she is
we'll again, and there is no doubt that
she can make good her assertion, as
she is already earning money with
her skilful fingers, though not yet
able to walk around. Two. pathetic
cases of needy old age have been re-
ported. One white couple, both past
eighty, who, according to their neigh
bors have made a brave struggle
against the limitations imposed by
age, but who can no longer manage
without some assistance. The other
case is G. colored couple, the woman,
it is claimed, being over one hundred
years OF age. The son does nothing
for them, and the colored churches
have helped the daughter supply their
needs for several years, and now ask
for county aid for them. Their in
creasing feebleness makes it necessa-
ry to provide them with permanent
shelter and care, which can be given
them in the little home for the aged
which the colored people conduct in
St. Petersburg, for at least half the
sum would be required to support
them in county poor house. The
daughter and the churches will con-
tinue their aid. Aside from these
there are seventeen names on the
county list, three infirm men, nine
widows,-two of these having little
children, the remainder being infrm,
three families in which the bread-win
ner is not able to work, and two fam
lilies whose need is caused by deser-
ton.
Since my last report l have made
156 visits, and travelled 548 miles, 4S
of them on foot.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah Cotton Smith,
County Probation officer, and Relief
Agent.

An amusing story reached my ears
yesterday about a well-known lad of
this town, who now and again approved
of having a good little time all to him
self, and did not mind occasionally
having some one of the fair sex enjoy
this good little time with him. AS he
walked up Walnut street on various
occasions, lie noticed an extremely
smart-looking girl. who did not show
any great Indignation when he finally
spoke to her after meeting her many
times; so they talked, and then he
suggested that some evening they
might have supper together at one Of
the hotels, to which she acquiesced
with alacrity. Well, the evening came,
and the lady met him at one of our
foremost hotels and they had n cozy
little supper together. The fair dam
sci was most eXquisitely frocked, and
the youth began to scent a mystery and
romance, thinking she must be one OF
the few 400 he had not happened to
meet at the different parties, Soon,
however, a woman came in with
party of friends for supper, and let me
Whisper II to you, she Is one OF the
most prominent women in the town.
She looked over at our gay youth, and
began to laugh, though she bowed very
Eweetly to him; then she spoke to
her neghbor, who, i'm turn, spoke to
his, and all the guests began looking
over at the youth and laughing. He
decided he did not care; the girl with
him was a beauty and dressed in eX-
quisite taste, so he tried to appear in
different. The prominent woman, how
EVER, knew him very well, so she ven
tured to send him a wee note which
read, Dear -, it certainly is sweet
of you to take my maid out 20 dinner;
but l can't quite see why you let her
wear one Of my best gowns"

Sometimes, when the bOndsman
has gone on the bond OF a girl who

some lawyer to represent her and
ask a continuance to save his bond,
and then he will go out and hunt her
and, when he finds her, deliver her
into court, unconscious that she had

Sometimes the bondsman, when

she asks for a continuance or is given

Corporation Counsel Ettelson's Office
a month, waiting for his opinion as
to it's legality. Meanwhile the Smile
an-hOur proposition has been put for
ward.
State street, the express COM
panies, the Illinois Mfrs. assn, the
Assn of Commerce and the Motor
Truck Owners assn are opposed to
the fender ordinance, but have voiced
no protest against the speed limit
measure. In fact, motor truck own
ers have come out openly in favor of
the 8-mile-an-hOur limit.
1t is peculiar that the motor truck
owners, along with State street, last
year bitterly fought the plan to limit
the speed of motor trucks to 13
miles an hour and now are in favor
of limiting the speed to 8 miles an
hour.
If council does pass the 8-mile-an-
hour limit ordinance there is no way
to enforce it. 1t would probably
mean that the fender ordinance will
be killed if the speed limit ordinance
is adopted, on the ground that fen
ders will not be needed.
Regardless of the claim of truck
owners that trucks cannot be unsafe
when moving as slow as 8 miles an
hour, Catherine Goggin, the school
teacher leader, was killed by Mar
shall Field truck which was moving
but miles an hour.
Here is the prediction around City
Hall:
If the Haderlein ordinance passes
the fender ordinance will go by the
boards, but the city will have no
means of enforcing an 8-hour limit
and trucks will speed through the
streets as they always have, fender
less and a menace to life and limb.
