" in the Inited state, imnng me last National Conference of Charities and Corrections. Superintendent Gardner " say that in comparing notes with a superintendent of one of the large east ern child-placing agencies, he found that the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society had as many children pass through its hands during the preceding year as did the State School of Minnesota located t Owatonna of that State. Its wrork in the past has been caring for the homeless, neglected and abused children of the State of Oregon, and also juvenile offenders who had committed their first depredation, to provide for such until suitable homes or employment were found for them, and to continue a systematic attention to their condition and treatment However, the largest class cared for by the Society is the former, and many cases of deep interest come before the Society for adjustment. Among the little ones at present to be placed out for legal adoption or inden ture are some interesting little children. The two-weeks' old baby that was men tioned has parents in Eastern Oregon, who had placed tho child in the care of a person in this city and then left the child to its fate. The child was placed with this Society and a home has now been found for it in an excellent family who will adopt it as their own. One of the girls to be placed out in a family home is the last remaining child in a family of four committed to the Society from an outside county two girls and two boys. All now have found good homes with the exception of this 13-year-old girl, and a home is now in prospect for her. Their story is in deed a sad one and was unearthed by the traveling agent of the Society, who found the family living in a tent amid the most poluting moral surroundings. The father was one of that class of men who let things go on as they may, and the mother was an immoral woman and allowed her young dauhgters to run around town with dissolute men, until the case became so notorious, that it came to the ears of the officers of the Boys & Birls Aid Society. No one, however, in the vicinity could be found with courage enough to make the com plaint, as they were a'raid the parents would burn them out, so that the So ciety's agent did that part of the work and the county officers completed it by commiting the children to the Society.

In speaking of the Mitchell famly who were taken from their mother re cently by County Judge Trenchard. Superintendent Gardner, who took charge of the six older children, says there is but one left in the institution ! ut m-Mpnt. It will hp remembered that Mg U the whk.h Sherir Jjnville and Superintendent Gardner went to look after a short time ago at Knsppa. They found the family living in a house which was too filthy for human habita tion, and the mother at the time in competent physically and mentally to care for her faimly, while the father had deserted them, leaving them with out means to care . for themselves. Sheriff IJnville procured the services of a farm wagon and brought the entire family to the depot at Knappa and finally ttf Astoria. Judge Trenchard, after hearing the evidence, turned the entire family of eight children over to Superintendent Gardner, six to be cared for by the Boys' 4 Girls' Aid Society and the two younger to be placed in the Baby Home. The three older child ren were named Johnon, half brothers and sisters to the Mitchells. Mr. Gardner took an application for a broth er and sister by a wealthy farmer, and placed two of the children in that home. The people were so well pleas ed with the children that they sent for the remaining brother, . as they thought it would be nice to have the three together. Tlieee people are able in every way to give the children a good home and education and there i not the slightet doubt but they will grow up to be good citizens. The only one remaining of th Mitchell family at the Hume is a boy aged about six. Mr. Gardner says that the father has called on two or three ocasions to see the children and expreed himself a- want ing to care for them, but when finally cornered and asked what his ability was at this time, said that jut at present he had very little means, but would care for them as soon as he could. Mr. Gardner's advice to the father was to start out and begin anew and under no circumstances to bring a family into the world unless he is prepared to care for them. A Habit to Be Encouraged. ' The mother who ha acquired th habit of keeping on hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, eaves herself a great amount of nneasines and anxiety. Coughs, cold and croup, to which children are susceptible are quickly cured by its use. It counteract any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia, and if given as soon a the first symptoms of croup appear, it will prevent the attaek. This remedy con tains nothing injurious and mother give it to little ones with a feeling of perfect eecurity. Sold by Frank Hart and leading druggists. Greatest Store.
