AS ILL AS PLAY
By Edwin Markham.
"That boy of Yours," issued by the
George H. Doran Company, discusses
the various problems of thev care of
youth. The author, James S. Kirtley,
has a suggestive chapter to parents. He
claims that national child-labor is as
necessary as' child-play in the develop
ment of the boy. He saya:
"The amount of enjoyment a boy
gets out of the enterprises he initiates
himself is a wholesome education; it
is an anticipation of his career and a
preparation for It. He must be en
couraged to do this, and carefully guid
ed. Guidance is highly necessary.
"Even employment with hobbies is a
benefit, ag it develops special tastes
and, sometimes, fits for special work
in the future. If no other good comes
from them, they are, at least, employ
ments, and that is something; but the
memory of them is sure to be a source
of recreative amusement to him in the
future.
'.'One-boy of my acquaintance went
into the white rabbit industry and act
ually paid expenses, while getting back
large returns of pleasure and informa
tion and sympathy with animal life.
Another went into photography; while
a little group, near . by, studied wire
Icsb telepraphy. Drawing, ceramic
work, sketching, music vocal and in
strumental have given boys lots of
pleasure and profit.
"Another makes it pay to raise pigs;
another a certain brood of dogs; still
another boy makes a specialty of
pigeons., There is an enterprising lad
who raises vegetables in the back yard,
on shares and ho sells hi half for
enough to take mimic lossons on the
flute. Boys' organizations gangs and
clubs and troops may be given em
ployment by tho public and by indi
viduals. That kind of organization
does double good.
"But tho note of warning must be
sounded. Terils await tho boy. Among
his interesting ventures are those in
which his fathor ongnges to give him
financial compensation for services of
greater or'less insignificance Lot both
liim and his father beware lost ho learn
to put a financial value on thoso minis-
trios which ho should render frcoly and
gladly as a son, Let him learn to CO
ojwrato for tho pleasure of doing his
part. Let evory command given him
ho a summons to his noblor senso of
conirudcship, all work coiuo to bo team
work and all rewards to bo a gratifica
tion to his unsolfishnoss.
"The boy is in peril of early pes
simism, as ho finds that everybody
feels competent to direct him and jus
tified in imposing on him by withhold
ing or cutting his wages, working him
overtime, and in numberless ways fail
ing to recognize that a boy can get
tirod or hungry, or irritated, or indig
nant. 'He may bo so directed that his
early von turns will bo In the line of
his future achievements. It will be
well for him to have in mind such boy
ns Andrew Carnegie, who came over
from Scotland with only a sovereign
in his pocket, but with sovereignty in
his soul, and fired a stationary engine
for two-fifty a week. A boy can get
the virtues of industry, honesty, fair
in and altruism started and operativo
in his life quite early."

AT
At 12:30 this afternoon the jury in
the case wherin Effie Creswell is being
tried on the charge of attempting to
poison Inmates and officers of the Ore
gon Industrial Training School for
Girls, received their instructions from
Judge Cleeton and retired. After very
brief deliberation a verdict" of guilty
wa found.
Girls Testify.
The hearing of the case was resumed
this morning at B o'clock and the
state's witnesses were called. Char
ollotte Ferris, Lydia Fischer, Eva
Bridghem and Alma Worden, all in
mates of the institution were called to
the stand by County Attorney Bingo.
They told practically the same story
of how they discovered that something
was wrong with the tea and coffee; of
how they were instructed to search for
the bottle in which Mrs. Creswell wag
supposed to have carried the poison and
of how the defendant denied placing
the strychnine in the coffee and tea
pots at the school.
Dr. Byrd, an assistant physician at
the asylum, was called by the state to
testify as to the results of an inspection
made of the alleged poisoned tea. The
physician testified that while he found
evidence of Btrychnino in the tea he
could not swear positively that it was
really strychnine.
Directed Verdict Asked.
I'pon the grounds that there had
been no evidence introduced by the
state to show that there had been any
strychnine placed in the coffee and tea
hnd that the state's witnesses were all
unablo to swear that such a crime had
been committed, Attorney Ernest Blue,
counsol for Mrs. Creswell, moved for
a directed verdict. Judge Cleeton how
ever, overruled the motion on tho
grounds that the testimony on the part
of one of the witnesses was to the ef
fect she knew what strychnine tasted
like and tlvat there was other evidence
tending to Bhow that the jury should
'havo tho case.
Attorney Blue called Mrs, L. Tindoll
to the stand to testify in behalf of Mrs.
Creswell. The witness stated that she
had known Mrs. Creswell for four years
nml did not believe tlwit sho was crim
inally inclined. Mrs. Creswell did not
testify.
Criticises County Attorney.
In hi argument beforo the jury, At
torney Blue bitterly criticised County
Attorney Kingo for escorting the state's
witnesses to a local drug store and
showing them different kinds of bot
tles, powders, etc., for the purpose of
coaching them for their testimony to
day, when they took the witness stand.
He argued thnt the other girls were
just as guilty as his client and that the
wliolo affair was started for the simple
reason that the other girls, in order
to clear their skirts of a possible crime,
had fastened tho evidence on Mrs.
Cntwell.
County Attorney Bingo's stntement
to the jury wns brief. He simply re
viewed the testimony Introduced by the
stnto and asked for a verdict of guilty.
The court room wns crowded with
spe.'tators this morning nnd among
them were many women.
RECALL NOT ASKED.

ISA KA BIBBLE,
Tell us, is Ish ka nibble" really Yid
dish, or is it only western slang as the
Globe avers f Lowell Courier-Citizen,
"Ish ka bible" is western slnng, of
Yiddish, or rather flennan, origin. It
started, unless we are mistaken, in Se
attle, where It got into print at least a
year ago. The phrase Is a corruption
of the German 'nlcht gefledt," which
moans literally "not fiddled." The
Germans, especially of Fast Prussia,
and Jews everywhere, have long used
it in the sense of " I don't care," " Ish
ka bibble" is the way Americans have
understood the phrase and spread it.
The slng word "ainznin," by the
way, is a corruption of the Hebrew,
"metumcn" or "mammon," meaning
ready cash.
FAIR EXCHANGE.
A man who had purchased some cur
rant buns at a bakery was distressed,
on starting to out one, to find that it

"I'm sorry, fir," said the sales
woman, "1 can't give you another buu,

will exchange It for a currant."

WASHING WOOLEN GARMENTS.
A housekeeper who know how to
wnsh woolon garments to retain thoir
shae and elasticity writes this article
for the benefit of those who do not
know how and jierhaps want to do it.
In tho first place, never rub soap on a
woolen article Make a good suds by
dissolving wool or white soap in hot
w'liter and add it to the washing water,
Buy soap chips or cut up a bar Into
hot water, boil a minute or two, turn
off the gas, cover it up and when it is
dissolved stir it up thoroughly and
add to the water, as I said before. Judg
ment as to the quantity of soap re
quired by a person with an oily skin
just enough washed must be used. Use
warm water. Water too hot Is not good
and tends to shrink woolen. Put in
jenough of the dissolved soap, adding a
little ammonia, if tho garments have
been worn by a person with an oily
skin. Just enough ammonia to cut the
grease and make a lather. Tut in only
a few articles at a time, if you have
many to bo done; rub lightly with the
.band, especially the soiled places, and
