CRIPPLED GIRL 1S A HERDINE Kate Lemare Bravely Earns Bread for Her Helpless Mother and Grandfather There is living, in an obscure street in this city, a young girl who all un- known to herself is living a life of most distinguished heroism. A eripple, hardly 18, this child has upon her; shoulders the care of a consumptive’ mother, and the task of earning bread for three people. Perhaps Miss Kate Lemare's story has for moral, “Blood will tell,” for the heroic young girl is a descendant of one of the famous Huguenot families that, fled to England during the Huguenot persecutions in France, later to find their way to America. The story of little Kate is through- out one of peculiar pathos. When a | baby she received the spinal injuries that make the little heroine now hardly the height of a child of ten. Then came the death of her father, before which the Lemares were in comfort- able circumstances. But even after | this the mother was able to earn a sufficient livelihood for herself and her | little daughter, and it seemed that fate | had #1 last held its hand. | But not so—the mother, the bread- winner, fell ill. Jt is now a year ago | since she was able to leave her room; | four months ago since she was able to | leave her bed, a hopeless invalid. And, |like a Maeterlinck figure, by the fire- | side, old and helpless, sits the grand- | father. It was this situation that confronted little Kate Lemare a year ago, and this responsibility that she is to-day shoul- | dering with all honor. She had learned, | in the ars of her mother’s active 1use{u!n to sew, to make lace, to | erochet pretty things for babies, to em- | broider initials. A year ago sbe took | up this work and is to-day thus earn- ing most of the Lemare Income—there is a little money, besides. As the mother, bravely as her daughter bear- ing the sorrows that have come upon them says, it 1s a “simple life,” but one hears no word of comp*laint from the | pale-faced mother or bright-faced | daughter. | The little room in which the mother lies is clean as hands can make it; the little broom it is swept with—a child’s. Pictures cut from newspapers brighten the whitewashed walls, and everything the Iittle hands could do to make the | place cheerful for the invalid has been | faithfully, lovingly done. ¥ | So, lovingly, faithfully, does the girl | try to malke the best of the simple food | with which she tries to tempt the | mother's appetite. But sometimes there is not even enough of this Work s | not always to be had, and rents must be paid AT THE OTHER =3 on It is hardly possible that many families have not heard of the enormous consignment of couches we have received; and from the handy couch, taking advantage heard, however, of 2000 Couches last two days’ business you would think thar everybody in town was John Hoey & Co., largest Couch Manufacturers in the West, have consigned to us their surplus stock of the sale.

ORPHAN ASYLN HANICERS NEET Lady Directors of Protest- ant Institution Hold Their Annual Session The board of managers of the Protest- ant Orphan Asylum held its fifty-fifth annual session yesterday at Trinity Church, Gou; and Bush streets. Mrs. William Ashburner prestded. Mrs. Albert T. Spotts, the secretary, read a report that was gratifying. It showed that the institution was in pros- perous condition and that the year just closed had been one of much accomplish- ment for the parentless children. The cash receipts had been $35.265 40, and the expenditures $30,673 59. Orphans to the number of 241 had been enroiled for the twelve months. Of these thirty-seven Had been removed by friends and seven- teen indentured, leaving 187 in the asy- lum. It was reported that the kindergarten under the care of Miss Klein had been conducted very successfully. Thanks were returned to Bruce Porter for his effofts in behalf of the children, the Friday evening reading circle for the forty boys of the Yerba Buena Club, or- ganized by himself, having proved ex- tremely beneficial. Though It was not stated at the meeting, it Is known that Mr. Porter has done much more for the boys by giving them outings at his own cxpense. At different times he has taken the entire forty to Mourt Tamalpais’ top, to Mill Valley, the ocean beach and other places. The ladles seemed to especially admire a man with the bravery to assume responsibility for forty healthy youngsters in one bunch. _T‘nanks were alse returned to Mrs. A. K. Smale, who reads to the girls every Thursday afternoon; Rev. William Higgs, who conducts Sunday afternoon services at the asylum; St. John’s Church Sunday- | school and Mrs. Julius Klein, who gives music instruction each week. Rev. Joseph Worcester, “who though in enfeebled health,” so the report read, ‘‘never neglects an opportunity to be- friend our orphans,” was also thanked for his efforts. Through. him many of the boys have entered the Wilmerding School. Two new members, Mrs. Horatio G. Hellman and Mrs. Kirkham Wright, were elected. The officers and members of the board are now as follows: Board of management (1908)—President, Mrs. William Ashburner; first vice president, Mrs. William R. Smedberg; second vice preaident, | Mrs. Charles W, Slack; treasurer, Mrs. D. W. Horeburgh; secrétary, Mrs. Albert T. Spotts: corresponding _ secretary, Mrs. Charles P. | Fells; Mye. Charles Coolidge, Anna P. Greer, Mrs. §. K. Lathrop, Miss Clara Hull, Mrs. Horatio G. Hellmun, Mrs, Frederick Mac- Crellish, Mrs. A. F. Morrison, Mrs. John Moss, Miss Nellle Stow, Mrs. Charles S. Wheeler, Mrs. B. C. Wright, Mrs. Kirkham Wright. Through the fifty-five years of this or- phanage’s existence the various ladles who have been on the board of manage- ment have always given their services free. They even take their luncheons with them when they hold a meeting at the institution, so not one cent of the money donated is diverted. CHICKEN FIGHT IN BUSY STREET At the junction of Montgomery and Clay streets, where two car lines cross, one cable and the other electric, a crowd gathered yesterday afternoon to view a most exciting cock fight. There is a mar- ket at the corner where vegetables, fruit and poultry are sold, and whence came the desperate pair of combatants. Two Brahma roosters that have been free to run about the streets for a few days, be- ing released from the coops in the mar- ket, have become wonted to city life to such an extent that the whizzing and grinding noises caused by the passage of an electric car do not alarm them in the least. On the smooth pavement in Mont- gomery street they met yesterday after- noon, and, in a few seconds, a battle was under way. ‘With all the noises familiar to the barn- yard the two feathered gladlators squared off in the most approved style, eyed one another carefully and appreciatingly, counted the chances of getting in a good initial blow without an effective return and then went at the fight In whirlwind fashion. Clay and Montgpomery streets is a transfer corner where passengers on both the electric and cable roads change cars. Office buildings, three banks, many stores and restaurants contribute to the passing throng, which is always quite numerous and cosmopolitan. So the chicken fight had been in progress less than a minute when not less than 100 men, women and children, representing three-quarters of the globe in the mixture of nationalities, were animated spectators. This audlence swelled with rapidity and the usual ten- dency to bet manifested itself. The two roosters were about evenly matched for weight. One was practically all white and the other had enough black feathers to mark its individuality in a mixup. The birds pecked at one another, pulled out feathers, drew blood from “combs” and generally mixed it. Then cariie a test of their stolid disre- gard of city dangers. An electric car, lined with people, ran down Momtgomery street and came close to the place where the roosters fought, not more than three feet from the one farthest from the track and directly toward one that was making its struggle mainly from the middle of the street. The motorman clanged his gong and put on the brakes with a grind- ing force, but the plucky bird directly in the path of the oncoming car hardly stirred fromw its tracks.

Some time ago, when Judge Hunt granted the Clarks a divorce, he direct- ed that the father have the custody of the boy, now seven years of age. little Freddie preferred to dwell with his mother, so one day when his father and his grandmother, Mrs. Mary Clark, were absent he ran away and returned to the home of his mother, ce remained. hflfl i‘:n away from home,” said the lit- {le fellow on the stand yesterday, “be- cause my father and grandma whipped me. They beat me every day and made big marks across my back. They took off my shirt and hit me with a strap and once they made me bleed.” Leaving the stand the child rushed into his mother’s arms and began to sob. Clark and his mother made strong denials of the lad’s charges. but other Witnesses were called to substantiate the boy’'s story. “It 1s plain to me,” saild Judge Gra- ham, “that this case should be thor- oughly Investigated. Judge Hunt, who granted the divorce decree to these parties, s conversant with the case, and as he directed that the father have custody of the lad I think it best that he hear the argument on the writ. The its life, the car ran by without hitting the birds and then the battle was resumed more flercely than ever. Like all barn- yard encounters the fight went on until one of the birds, the black and white one, “turned tafl” and ran. Then the city crowd went its way much thrilled by the unusual spectacle. —_———————— MISSIONARY CIRCLE ELECTS. ¥TS OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR The Women's Missionary Circle, home and forelgn, assembled In annual meeting at the Hamilton Square Baptist Church yesterday and besides electing officers for the ensuing year listened to reports from missionaries abroad.
