If You Are "On the Fence" Boys Make Rapid Progress in Manual Training Work Under Competent Instruction They Soon Learn to Turn Out Many Useful . and Handsome Articles. 38k ONE THOUSAND STEEL RANGES . ' 1 Special Steel ' Range-Off eP $0 m r an 1 mm sw. , 1 111 V 1 - -i'Vi "EET A MOST Interesting plare is the man ual training department of the puo 11c schools of Portland. One never having visited this branch of the schools, would be surprised. Indeed, at the work of the young boys and the great number of useful articles made by them. Both W. J. Stanley, who Is supervisor of the work, and M. G. Steel, the in ttructor, take delight In showing the work and are very proud of the bright boys In their care. Mr. Stanley has h'.s o IT ices In the Holladay school building. Visitors become greatly Interested in hearing about the different kinds of wood and the care required In prvparinj each before making Into useful household ar ticles. The oak and chestnut wood contain tannen, and after the "filler" 1 used, the wood Is staine'd, then beeswax melteu in turpentine Is applied wnlle warm. This gives a durable and lasting finish. One stain used upon other woods consists of burnt umber, turpantine and whiting. For the mission finish on fir a new stain, adellte. Is successfully used Win lamp black and turpentine. In polishing wax, shellac and varnish are used, as they preserve the wood. One of the busy boys of the manual training department of Holladay school Is Sidney Ziegler, 13 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Ziegler. of 309 Hol laday avenue. Sidney has Just entered the seventh B grade and delights In "making things," spending as much time as possible In the workshop, whicn Is sit uated In the rear of the school building. He has recently finished a beautifully made footstool, which he presented U his mother. It Is of oak and perfect In detail. Eight different tools were used In making this footstool. Sidney and sev eral other boys go to the sawmills and select their own wood. This youn man can explain the use of a long list of tools and can tell much about the sawing, planing, fuming, filling, staining, .polish ing, etc. At the public exhibition of the work of the boys of the manual training school, held last year, many of them found pleasure In listening to the re marks made by men who saw their work and were delighted when men would say to each other: "Well, I cannot see how a boy could make this" or tnat "the boy who made that desk or picture frame knows what he Is doing." There are no Idlers In the school and the boys work as though they have In mind the lines "Give to the world the best you have. And the best win come to you. News Notes of City High Schools Ilncoln.

Judge Bronaugh Returns Decision on Oregon Law That la Far-Reaching. Divorced people in Oregon must wait until the last minute of the six months of single blessedness required by law has expired before again venturing In double harness.- Otherwise the second marriage is null and void. That was the effect of a decision returned by Cir cuit Judge Bronaugh yesterday. The case was that of Elmer Wallace against Mary E. McDanlel and others, in which Wallace was seeking an equity in prop erty left him by the woman whom he had long supposed to be his wife. But she wasn't his wife, according to the court's finding. It seems this was her second marriage, and it oc curred Just about a half day too soon. If they had waited a few more hours all would have been well. Mrs. Wal lace was divorced from J. W. Endlcott In Umatilla County, September 12, 1903. She married Wallace. March 12, 1904. The case had been appealed, and from the final settlement to the date of the second marriage the period of six months had not elapsed, lacking several hours. . On marrying, Wallace put up f6S5 and his wife put up $2000 and they bought a house and lot in Portland. After her death Wallace took posses sion as sole heir and executor. Then Mrs. Wallace's sisters, knowing of the Irregular marriage, filed action In ejectment. To save his Interest Wal lace filed a cross-complaint In which he asked an equity In the land. Judge The Stomach of the Child la the Organ All Parents Should Pro tect and Keep Normal. The stomach of a child is the organ above all others upon which the future of a child depends. Bodily development Is fast in children, and the nourishment necessary to meet such development Is the one essential demanded from a parent. Most mothers and fathers jealously guard a child from the forma tion of Dad habits, yet in this age our children early become the victims of wrong food, over eating and Irregular meals. It is most appalling to know the ef fect of stomacn troubles among our children. Most children who are nervous. Irrit able ana cross, who dream, sleep rest lessly, who tire easily and have no de sire for child exercise, generally have stomach trouble. Indigestion and dys pepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in tended to thoroughly digest food and to place the system in shape to obtain all the nourishment it needs from such food. These tablets mix with the juices of the system, enriching them and giving to the body the ingredients necessary to build up the rapidly forming brain and body of the young. Stuart's Pyspepsia Tablets should be given to children after each meal and at bed time. They are made of pure vegetable and fruit essences and con tain 110 harmful chemicals whatever. The use of these tablets will give great er vim to a child In its school work or at Its play. They will produce ap petite and soothe nerves, destroy ab normal cravings and will allay the bad effects of sweets and such improper foods as most children enjoy and will eat no matter what is done to pre vent it. It is due the child that his stomach be protected by the parent, and if Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are given after meals, the habits of the child will not tear down the stomach and destroy the digestive Juices nearly so rapidly. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are given to each and every degree of life. Any condition of the stomach welcomes them, from the strongest to the weak est.. For sale by all druggists, price 50 cents.

The case of the United States vs. Lum Locke, a rueful looking denizen of the flowery kingdom, was on hear ing before Commissioner Marsh yester day afternoon, and divers and sundry Celestials flitted about the corridors or sat listening to the testimony as it was unraveled before the Commission er. They seemed to feel happy over the fact that the defendant could not have his head cut off if the case went against him, or be compelled to commit harl-karl. The defendant himself represents that he is a Chinese merchant, good and true, lawfully doing business in the United States during and under the rules and regulations governing such matters in the years of 1891, 1892 and 1893, and that he Is therefore not sub ject to deportation from the land of the free and the home of the brave. The oral evidence was finally con cluded both for and against the sad- eyed disciple of Confucius, and with the submission of certain documentary evi dence, said td be important in direct ing the conclusions of the Commission er, the case was taken under advise ment until next Tuesday. The knot of bloused and baggy trousered spectators departed as the twilight was creeping In and around the dusty precincts of the temple of justice, and trooped downstairs gestic ulating and chattering in their lingo, and the fate of Lum Locke, the allit eratively named defendant, was left to the further investigation and the tender mercies of the Commissioner.
