Judge Ben B. LIndsey of the Den ver Juvenile court, who will lecture in this city April' 4th on "The Misfor tunes of Mickey," had the problem of children brought home to him In a strange way. I-, ; , ; ' . Some street gamins wire brought to his court charged with robbing a pigeon roost. As he talked with the trembling youngsters his memory jumped beck 15 years to a time when another party of boys had planned to rob that same cote, and in the at tempt some had been caught and some had escaped. He recalled that one of those boys had died for his country on San Juan hill, that another was doing time in a state penitfntiary and that a third was now sitting in Judgment on other lads whose futures as good citizens or as criminals might depend upon his wisdom in dealing with them And while he was still ceeklnr 'lirM youny girls were brought to him charged with frequenting wine rooms. "Why don't you arrest the dive keep ers f he asked of the officers, and began at once a crusade against the evil. But the Are and police bopr had reasons of its own for not want ing to close the wine rooms... It ac- tuallv secured from another Judge an injunction agalnt action by the board on the plea that the woman suffrage law gave a woman as much right as a man to visit saloons. . Judge Llnd sey refused to recognize the authority of the other Judge and the supreme court later sustained him. From that time mere politicians have feared and hated Ben LIndsey, not because he Is a friend of the children, but becaus he Is of necessity an enemy of "graft" In protecting the , Interests of the young.

Pacific Coast to Hare Biggest Power Plant at Portland. Portland, March 30.( Special) It Is promised by the Portland Rail way, Light and Power company, that by the year 1914 it will be generating more electric power than any other similar concern on the Pacific- coast. This prediction is based upon the big expenditures now being made for the mammoth water power plants near Portland. , On its generating plants and tlr construction of high tension transmis sloa lines, the, company will have ex pended 17,000,000 by 1914. tCi-viUt ion already completed: present r.. in investment of $3,0CCC'.i.- hj Jan jary, 1914, the company will be ?V erating 105000 ho-S3 pi a?.- a "in various plants. This amount Inclines th: $15,000 horse power plant at Oregon City; the 25,000 horse power plant at Cazadero; 25,000 horse power at Estacada, which will be completed in September of this year, and 40,000 additional hors power on tne upper Clackamas. With the completion of this development work the company will use the same water three times at dtff;rent plant on the river. The company proposed to supply el 3ctrlcaJ energy throughout a large dis tr'ct In Oregon and Washington. Here tofore it has not b'en selling power on a very extensive scale, needing al most all of the energy generated at its various plants for its own projects. In future, it will have an enormous volt age to dispose of and it Is President JoBselyn's idea that It will become cheaper to the consumer as the vol ume of the buh!n:ss increases. ''I expert to see the day," said he "when electrical pow.er will be fur nlehed in Portland more cheaply than anr place inth: world. According ir my theory, It is going to be lower and lower. We expect to make electrical energy eo cheap that factories now us ing steam power, generated by refuse material, could not possibly compete with the price we will be able to make.'

The 34th annual convention of the South Carolina Sunday School association, which met here today for a three days' session, is one of the largest gather ings ever hMd under the auspices of the association.

The Very Oldest Inn. Which Is the oldent Inn In Englnnd? The title deeds of thw Saracen's Head at Newark date back to 1341. and local antiquaries cite documentary evidence to prove that the Seven Stars at Man chester existed before the year 1358.

' The Earl Kept-His Head, and the Highwayman Lett Hla. In "Sporting Days and 8portlng Ways" Ralph Nevlll relates two lncl dents of the early nineteenth century tn which English highwaymen figure: "In August 1819. Lady , Stanley. traveling from York accompanied by ber servant, was stopped by a high wayman, when the maid In ber alarm took up a bottle of ginger beer, and the cork flying out made such a report that the highwayman instantly gallop ed off In great alarm." Lord Berkeley's encounter with one of the famous "gentlemen of the road" had more serious consequences: "Being driven over Hounslow Heuth be was awakened from sleep by bis conch being brought to a standstill and a threatening face looking in at the window. : 'I have you at last my lord.' said a grutT voice, 'though you said you would never yield to a robber. Deliver'.' "'Certainly,' was the earl's reply, 'but tell me first who Is that looking over your shoulder?" . ' "The highwayman turned bis head to look and at the same moment Lord Berkeley shot him through the head dead." Winning a Fur Coat The artist Hans Cunon once nnlnt- ed a Russian prince In a magnificent fur mautle which took bis faucy so greatly that be endeavored to bit on a plan by which be mlubt retain Dosses- slon of It Qn sending home the por trait he omitted to return the garment. and to the letter requesting him to do so be made no reply. One day when looking out of a window he saw the prince coming toward bis house. Has tily slipping Into the curb. Canon sat down in an armchair near the fire. The prince, who bud come for his com. started on seeing Canon groaning and trembling at the fireside. "What is the matter with you?" he asked. "Oh " groaned Canon. "I don't know what ii it. but 1 feel so weak and wretched. and I cannot get warm. Two days ago my brother died of smallpox, and I am a bit nervous about myself." Tbe artist kept the coat Dledrloh Knickerbocker. It may be that a Dutchman named Knickerbocker did live In tbe early history of New York, but If he did there are no records extant to prove It The truth la, the name was created by Washington Irving, who applied It to all residents of New York to hla time who happened to be descended from the early Dutch settlers. Irving used this quaint Dutch character In hla "Knickerbocker History of New York" to burlesque the early days of the city. Tbe volume purported to have been the work of Dledrlcb Knickerbocker and gave an amusing and satirical ac count of tbe early Dutch settlers. Rec ords of tbe period tell us that the book bitterly offended their ' descendants, who never forgave Irving for bis fling at them. New York Times. v.," Boiled Oyttors. , In "Social Life In the Reign of Queen Anne" Swift writes to Stella. "Lord Masbam made me go home with him to eat boiled oysters." and tben he obligingly adds the recipe: "Take oys ters, wash them clean-that te. wash their sheila clean: then put your oys ters tn an earthen pot with their hol low side down: then put this pot. cov ered. Into a great kettle of water and let it boll Your oysters are then boiled In their own liquor and do not mix with witter" ' A Leading Qutstion.
