get O'Malley, a. feeble old woman, 07
years of age, who was lefeired to the

Mis. O'Malley, who 1 a widow, ex
plained that she has lived In this city
oci thitty yeais and has worked until
she found it Impossible to do so because
of her waning strength. Of late she has
been living with fiiends in Bellevue,

duced a letter fiom a daughter In Wai
len who agrees to keep her if she
comes on theie and .said that the Asso
ciated Charities had agieed to pay oTIe
half of the ralhoad fare providing the
board paid the other half.
The membets of the boaid didn't take
kindly to the proposition of paying the
old woman's fare and one of the mem
beis suggested that the Associated
Chaiitles, having taken s,ueh an intci
est In the case, should foot the whole
bill. It was decided to admit Mrs.
O'Malley to the Hillside Home and see
if it would not be possible to get her
daughter to send on the money to pav
her faie.
This moused the old woman's he and
she aiose totteiing fiom hei chair.
"Well, I'll go to no poor faun," she
said. "It's a nice way to treat me just
before Cluistmas. Some of you men
that aie agin' me now may hae a
pool Cluistmas ahead of them ome
day and may hae to go to the pool
house themspHes. I've woiked huid
since me man died, but I can't woik
any longer and we paid taxes these
thirty yeais I'll go to Wairen now, In
spite of -uiu all," and she w diked out
in the hall.
And go to Wairen she will, for Mis.
Duggan enlisted the set ices of l chai
ltable gentleman who agieed to pay the
remainder of the faie.
Mr. Mary Mangan, an old and p.u

"I have a bit of property on Jackon
street," said she, "that I'll give to tho
board if I like the place."

The Tilbune's Junior Educational
Contest closes this evening nt'5 o'clock.
A great manv boys und girls fiom all

and a few from other sections have
participated In this year's contest. It
would be a gloat pleasuie If Tho Trib
une could give each and evety child
who has submitted a list ot woids u
handsome Christmas picsent, but then
there would bo no inccnthc on the
part of any one to excel.
Tile twenty pi Ires offpied will bo giv
en to the twenty gills and boys who
submit the laigest number of conect
words in accoulnncp with the lules of
the contest. Some lists Mint hae been
read had a gieut many woids that weie
not admissible and after these woids
have been eliminated the lists weie not
long enough to entitle them to n shnic
in tho pitscnts. Thcic will unques
tionably be many disappointments
among the young people when the list
of winners Is announced on Mondav
morning. Eveiy list will be pieserved,
however, and any one who Is dissatis
fied may have his or her list back for
comparison.
