Education is the discipline of the in

from school at the age of 12 and put to
work in a -factory? Education la my

AND STILL THE SANTA CLAUS
! LETTERS COME TO THE- JOURNAL
The skldoo puule editor; who called
"Jilmself the pussled editor, Is becoming
Jealous. He Is afraid that Santa Claus
'Is going to get as much mall as he did
-'for a month. And Santa's letters are
really more affectionate than those sent
..'after several hours and days spent In
doing arithmetic. The little boys and
girls certainly think a great deal of old
' Sandy and they want hlra to bring
vthem toys so that he will know how
' much they think of him.'
These are aome of the letters that
came today and tboy will be sent to
meet Santa on his way to Portland:
"Portland Oregon Deo 18. Dear Santo
' Claus please send ne a pair of boots my
name Is Ivy Hasel Holley I live at 68
north union ava I am seven years old."
' Another girl writes for herself and
her little brother: i
"Portland. Mr. Journal man tell Santa
Clause to cend me Jittls train end a
rockenhorse. My little brother. wants a
train, ears and some walnuts I am t
years old and my little brother la 11
months Harris Jenkin care Colvln Box

Another Borneman writes to Santa
thus:
"City Dee to ISO dear Santa I can
not writ yet' for I am only Ave So
brother wrote this for me I want .a
little wagon and a box of a b o blocks
snd a box of candy Alfred Borneman

pus proceeding were begun In the fed
eral court here today by attorneys for
Mrs. Agnes Meyers, sentenced to bang
January10 for the murder of her hus
band. - -
a member of a high school under my
care, and the grammar grade graduates
wouldn't number twice five. Take last
month, for example: There were over
(0 women brought in and not one of
them had been in school beyond her
fifteenth year. Some of .them could not
sign their name.
What does a girl know who leaves
school at the fifth or sixth gradet Many
of them never get that far. Can one
be in error In thinking that education
would be the saving of many T .
Practically all the girls between the
ages of 16 and Zl who are brought here
are frequenters of the publlo danoe
halls. That. Ja the beginning of the
downfall of many. Often a girl started
on Saturday night for a dance, later Is
taken from a rooming-house and apends
the rest of the night In Jail.
"Have you a mother?" I ask. Tee,
I have a father and mother," replies the
girl, "Won't they be worried about you
not coming home?" "Oh, no; they think
I have gone to spend the night with a
girl chum. I often tell them that.",
How-can a girl be. censured when the
mothers are so lax In their duty. After
the' dance comes the wins cup, work be
comes tiresome, descent in the social
scale follows quickly and the .north
end baa a new recruit.
Industrial Some weeded. -
An Industrial home would save many
glrla If they were found In time. Some
eastern cities have such homes and the
girls are taught suitable trades. . Here
they have nothing to look forward . to
but counting the days and hours until
released. If they were in an Industrial
home they would be occupied ail day.
, Take a day's life In this jail, for ex
ample. The women are called at 7:10
o'clock, and that la early enough, con
sidering that they are .kept awake the
greater part of the nlgt&.by the howls
of new arrival In various stages of In
toxication. The beds are first taken out
and thoroughly sprayed, then put away
until night. The morning ablutions
over.tbe , glrla hays - braakf aat. The
newcomers prepare for court and the
girls under sentence start the cleaning.
Every foot of floor space' Is scrubbed
every morning, 'except Sunday. The
work is usually done by 19 o'clock, and
than the girls do their washing and
mending. ' If they have nothing to do
they sit around the Are and tell stories
until 4 o'clock, when the welcome cry
of "supper" puts them all In good hu
mor. After supper the dishes are Quick
ly washed and the beds .put In for the
night Willing hands make light work
and I will say for my girls that, unless
sick or otherwise . incapacitated., .'they
are willing to do what Is required of
them. The evening work done, they
again alt around the lira until bedtime
and relate experiences and the history
or- ineir earner oays. Aiany evenings
when I have an hour's leisure I mo In
and alt In the cell room, and many pa
thetlo and heart-breaking atoriea I hear.
Sunday is the most dreary day of the
ween, tor tnen mere is nothing to do.

gest .properly, i Nine tenths of all dys
pepsia and Indigestion, is ef the nervous
type and the' only certain cure la to
right the cause. Tonics, brain foods,
bitters, etc, are mere temporary atlmu
lanta. Your etomaoh and small intes
tines have become deranged by Im
proper selection of food, imperfect
mastication and Irregularity both f to
time and amount of eating. .
The mucous coating of the stomach
and intestines has lest its power of se
creting the gastrlo juice (an Important
factor in digestion) the muscles of the
middle coating are correspondingly life
less In grinding up the food, and aa a
result. the food lies la your stomach
fermenting, poisoning the blood, irritat
ing the nerves and breaking down the
system.
- Something must be done to arouse the
digestive organs to action. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets alone have been
found capable of digesting the food for
the unhealthy stomach. They contain
diastase, pepsin and other dlgestlvej
agents which the stomach Itself pos
sesses when In health. These agents
digest the food for the stomach and
give the stomach a chance to rest and
regain its normsl powers.
. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta are not a
patent medicine, the formula for their
preparation having been made publlo
snd known to 44.000 physicians In the
United States and Great Britain. By
government tests. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have been shown not only to
contain no harmful ingredients, but to
possess digestives of higher purity than
found In any other preparation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are rec
ommended by physicians everywhere
and can be bought of any druggist or
direct from the manufacturers at to
cents per box.
If preferred, a. free trial package will
be aent you immediately upon receipt
of name and address. F. A. Btuart Co,

In for Intoxication have been coming
for years. The old-timers do not get
in ao often now. several who had ai
most llvqd there do not , average
tnree visas a year.
I have found many excellent musi
cians among, the women, notwithstand
ing ther lack of common school edu
cation. Mrs. A v who died a few
years ago, used to sing In concert with
Paul. Bha vanned her story with dates
and names, ao I know she waa not ro
mancing.
-The-young-woman ef ft had creased
the AUantlo six times and studied muslo
In Germany and Denmark. She had fins
manners and drink was her. only fault.
A - couple of years ago a woman past
middle age waa serving a 10 days' sen
tence for Intoxication. I sent he to
the sitting-room one morning to dohe
dusting. While in the kitchen prepar
lnf luncheon I heard ths strains of a
dainty Paderswskl minuet. Thinking
my daughter s teacher bad arrived un
expectedly, . I opened the alttlng-room
door and, behold, my lady of the dust
cloth was t the piano. Softly closing
the door I sat In the hall and listened
for almost an hour. Not a rag-time
air was played, but Mendelssohn. Llait
and - Chopin ware the masters my lady
took selections rrom.
I hope when the municipality gets
enough of the wherewithal with which
to build a new hall of justice and city
prison that the architect will allow me
a small voice In the arrangement of the
women's quarters. For years there was
just one large room for all women nrl
oners, and every woman brought In went
there white, black, Chinese and In
dtana, drunks, thieves and the demented.
the old-timer of f 0 and the girl of II.
Bad and Good Mix. ' . .
When the Interior of the jail was re
modeled a few yeara ago the women'a
quarters were enlarged and separate
cells made, but the girl In for her flrst
offense Is no better protected how than
she waa before. , True, aha la In a sepa
rate room but every .foul word the
drunkard utters la heard, for all the
rooms open on one corridor. .. .. ..-.
1 hope the new jail will have warm
quarters for the sick, a padded cell for
the demented and a place for the
younger girls, where they will not- be
within hearing or seeing distance of
their elders.
I- A witness-room away 'from the pris
oners' quarters Is also a necessity.
When a woman haa her husband ar
rested for beating her or for other rea
son, and we are obliged to hold her as
a witness, aha must be put In with the
others, for we have no separate place
to put her. Last, but not least, I da
hope when they build a new jail it
won't be In the heart of Chinatown.-
PRAISES CONDUCT OF
MUNICIPAL COURT
Frank D. Hennessy, clerk of the mu
nicipal court, dlacnsatng affairs in the
department with which he la connected,
found much satisfaction with the way
matters were going. - - -
"Nearly 133,000 has been collected
from fines, forfeitures and costs since
Judge Cameron ' took charge July -1,
1906," he said. - A most . conspicuous
feature of the administration of affairs
In tMe municipal court, it seems to me.
Is that of the large number of attorneys
who have appeared, and fought their
cases, none complain of unfairness. Out
of the hundreds from .' whom I have
collected fines, I have not found one
who has found fault with the amount
assessed against blm.
"I -find that suspended sentences
fcave"a very good effect, and tt la sel
dom indeed that a man .or woman,
having been given an- opportunity to
reform- returns to court for punishment.
