the judge of the Juvenile court are to
be sent to this farm, where the
youths will not only be clothed and
fed, but taught the common school
branches and farming and gardening.
This farm Is to be located on some
Interurban car line running Into Port
land. The tract nf land will consist
of about BOO acres, and a large home,
with plenty of outbuildings, will be
erected. Here the boys and girls
whose parents are allowing them to
grow up In Idleness and crime will be
sent, r.e well as poor children who
cannot be properly cared for at their
homes on account of poverty. The su
perintendent of the home will be an
officer of the Juvenile court.
Each child Is to be given certain
work to do and taught Just how to do
It nroperlv and thoroughly. A large
tract of the best land on the farm Is to
be oet aside for gardening. Each boy,
and some of the girls, will be allotted
a little piece of ground, Just as large
as can be carefully attended to by
them, garden seed will be furnished
and the youngsters put to work.'- All
vegetables that have a ready market
In the city will be grown.
The products of these little gardens
will be rold and the proceeds turned
over to the tollers. In this way the
boys and girls will be able to start a
small bank account and to buy little
things that are not provided by the
home, nut all of the children will be
required to toil in the garden,' hay
fields, orchard and dairy of the home,
which, It is planned, will raise all Its
own provisions; the girls will have
little of this outdoor work to do, but
will learn to sew, cook, churn. Iron
and keep house.
Those who have the project on foot
s'iy that If possible a superintendent
will be secured who Is a teacher and
whose wife can also Instruct the chil
dren In reading, spelling, arithmetic,
grammar, United States history, geog

Shipwrecked Together.
Thirty years ago Pjterson and BJor

passengers on a sailing vessel that
was wrecked off the coast of Maine.
Peterson was then 1G years of age,
and his friend wna 10, but the former
was large and robust for one of his
years, and he succeeded In clinging
to part of the rigging attached to a
mast. He also succeeded In rescuing
his boy compnnlon from drowning
and used n rope to attach them both
to the mist.
After floating In the seas for three
days and nights they were driven
ashore. Peterson cared for his charge
as well as he could, and, leaving him
In a sheltered spot, he sought aid.
Tramping 20 miles inland, he arrived
at a settler's cottage, secured food
and returned to BJorklund. They
finally reached a small village where
Peterson paid for the care of his
friend.

In time they became separated Pe

from him, but BJorklund amassed a
fortune In the cast.
The attorneys have notified Peter
son that efforts have been made for
years to locate him, nnd the effort
hns succeeded only after his old friend
had been dead over b year. As a sub
stantial proof of the genuineness of
the fortune, a draft has been sent
Peterson for $1000, nnd he will leave

Reclaiming the barren pandhllls of
the west with forest cover, to supply
timber when there Is a dearth of it. Is
one or the more striking or tne im-
ortant forest planting projects of the
forest service.
Four of the national forest reserves
have been established in the non-agri
cultural region with the express pur
pose of getting a firm grasp on meth
ods which will overcome natural diffi
culties nnd set up object lessons for
the benefit of the people. Some of
these artificial reserves have respond
ed so well to careful treatment thnt
hundreds of thous-ands of seedlings
have been planted out and millions
more are being raised In the nurseries
for other reserves.
The seml-arld conditions of the re
gion necessarily restrict the selection
of trees. Right choice of species, the
crux of forest planting, generally. Is
here especially decisive. By Its aid,
together with right planting methods,
and right care of the plantation, a
treeless region, one, therefore. In

valuable commodity, can be made to
produce useful woods, and nt a cost

face, whose only cover Is wild grass
and weds, a merchantable forest crop
Is to be grown.

D. S. Shult. a Short Line conductor
who hns Just returned from San
Francisco, where he spent his vaca
tion of three weeks, was in the city
this morning nnd says that because
of all the large warehouse being de
stroyed In the Bay City, there are now
over 7000 unloaded cars of freight
standing on the side tracks, awaiting
for the owners of the freight to un

It is absolutely impossible for the

they think the goods are safer In the
cars than piled on open platforms and

All the available cars of the South

there Is no telling when It will be re

that have been discarded by patients)
who have been cured. The walls are
lined with these discarded helps to lo
comotion, and the cured persons are
loud In praise of St. Anne, the mother
of the Blessed Virgin. From .that
humble temple during the past week
and the nights also, there have been
wafted incessant prayers for the Inter
cession of the saint, who Is, with pref
erence, addressed as the "Mother of
the Afflicted."
At the services the little church was
steeped in reverential silence, broken,
only by sobs from burdened breasts,
or the awkward clumping of crippled
feet along the reverberating aisles.
During this time thousands on whom.
fute has heaped the weight of a weak
or broken, or deformed body, hare
flocked there to offer fervent suppli
cations for favors from the hands of
the saints. These seekers after health
are certainly lifted Into a higher re
ligious state, and by faith have thrown
off many Ills. The novena stirs up
thelr energies, fills them with hope
and by extraordinary exercise of their
faith they summon all their energles
and powers, and spring to their feet
practically regenerated.

little, there may be about the exer

MeNKeiurer Boys' Many Duties.
The employment of messenger boys
In odd kinds of services Is beginning to
attract the attention of the public,
and It seems almost as If people, when
unable to find anybody else to do cer
tuin things for them ring up a mes
senger boy and he docs the rest. One
boy was sent for by a woman to catch
flies for her pet lizard, which was too
sick and feeble to catch them for It
self. Another boy found, when he
entered a hotel room that the ex
tremely fat man who occupied It,
wanted him to scratch his back. He
did the Job well, with the help of a
brush.
The latest Is that of a woman who
rang up for a boy. nnd when he came
Bhe told him to hang his cap on a
hook and hired him for an hour and
a half at 30 cents an hour. It seems
that the maid who attended to her
little five-room flat did not material
ize, and she set the boy to dusting-,
clearing the table, sweeping the dining-room
floor, dusting the hall, and
other jobs of fixing up things gener
ally. The woman was pleasantly sur
prised to find that the boy dusted In
the cracks and crevices, and that
when the hour and a half ended the
flat looked as spick and span as after
a regular Saturday cleaning. She
thinks it bent3 servant girl hiring out
of sight. The boy rather liked It bet
ter than playing craps.
A Bridegrooms' Carving School.
"There goes a woman," sabi the tall
girl, "who is preparing to confer a
blessed boon upon humanity. She la
going to establish a class In carving-
for prospective bridegrooms. She has
a score of pupils pledged already. The
Instruction will be thorough. Each
man will be required to wrestle Indi
vidually with all kinds of meat from
the Sunday morning ham to the
Thanksgiving turkey, and not until he
hns learned to sever Joints and slice
Juicy cuts gracefully will he be
granted a diploma. Fifty cents a les
son is the price to be charged for this
Invaluable education.
"The ultimate cost depends, of
course, upon the Ingenuity of the pu
pil. A man with a natural aptitude
for carving will probably get through
In six lessons. At that rate the edu
cation Is dirt cheap, and I intend to
urge every man In my acquaintance
to avail hims!lf of the opportunity to
master a difficult art. The young
man took a note book out of his pock
et and asked for the- name and ad
dress of the carving teacher. The girl
smiled knowingly, and wanted to
know when the wedding was to be.

CoiurrcMsnian S. W. Smith Presents
Telegraph Issue to Congress.
Congressman Samuel W. Smith of
Michigan, who hns pending a bill In
the house to force a reduction of tel
egraph rates throughout the country,
says there Is not the shadow of a
doubt that If the telegraph companies
would use the modern Ideas and In
ventions which have been perfected,
they could largely cut down the prices
now charged for the transmission of
telegrams.
He made one speech on the sub
Ject during the last session of con
gress, and Is preparing to make an
other next winter, and since congress
adjourned, w hile looking for material
bearing on the subject, he made the
discovery that Hon. Don M. Dickin
son of Michigan, while postmaster
genernl under Cleveland, held the
same views that Mr. Smith Is now exploiting.
Happiness is the ability to mako
yourself believe that you are pleasing
