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.

MUST WAIT SIX MONTHS
DIVORCED PEOPLE ' OAXXOT
WED W ITHIN THAT PERIOD.
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

CHINESE MAYBE DEPORTED
Orientals Are Much Interested in
Case of Iium Locke.
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.
