Grams; then cast their votes like men.
You see, these boys know how. They
have the education of the streets. They
have plugged for living in the highways

ward heller in his native haunts.
And so, when election day came they
elected the officers they wished to rule

HUDSON, o., April 2O.--Just few
miles from this rural village is the Boys
farm. The Boys farm has just been grant
ed home rule.
To understand this you must know what
the Boys farm is. Well, it is part of
the city of Cleveland, 20 miles away. The
city found itself confronted with the
bad boy problem. Some boys were not bad
enough to be sent to the reform school,
aDd yet, because of environments, were
likely to turn into criminals. So the
Boys farm was founded.
The lads are sent here to become good
men. They work little, go to school
little, and play a great deal. The farm
produces nearly all it consumes.
And now the authorities have given the
farm home rule. 1t has a mayor, cabinet,
council, in fact, an entire list of city Of
fcals and it is making it's own laws. A
Newspaper Enterprise Association staff
man and photographer came here to get
picture.

MARY WANDERING

''Harriet's Honeymoon" the new comedy
in which Mary Mannering is appearing this
season with much success, is by that well
known playwright and actor, Leo Ditrich-
stein. This comedy enjoyed a run in New
York earlier in the season. The comedy
is in three acts. The plot of "Harret's
Honeymoon" is worked out among the pic
turesque surroundings and with the quaint
type Of character which are invariably
found at German watering places. Kyrn-
halden is tue place where the action of
'cHarriet's Honeymoon" takes place. Frank
Mckee has furnished an elaborate produc-
ton and a competent company, the same
as was seen during the New York engage
ment, will be brought here. Miss Man
nering IN "Harrietb Honeymoon" comes
to the Tacoma theater Thursday night.
Next Tuesday evening an interested audi
ence will gather at the Tacoma theater to
listen to the vivid descriptions of the
late war in South Africa to be given by
the celebrated Boer, General Gideon Jou-
bert assisted by Captain W. s. oDonnell.

able But General StoesseI Received
Request With Burst of Profanity
Offer to Remove Non-combatants.

Che F 90, Aug. 20.-A battle of huge
proportions ragged around Port Arthur
August IA and Is, and it was resumed
August II. The Japanese it is re-
ported, sacrificed twenty thousand
more men, but gained important ad-
vantages in the matter of position.
The above news was brought on
Junks, one of which having on board
three Russians concealed in the bag
gage of Chinese to escape from the
Japanese, left Port Arthur and was
blown rapidly to Che Foo by a gale.
The force of the attack was directed
against the left wing and resulted in
the capture of Pigeon Bay positions
and some of the forts at Lao Tie
shan. At Paluncheng the Japanese
hastily mounted guns which did ex-
cellent service in aiding the stOrming
of the right wing where the Japanese
are said to have captured two forts
of minor value, mounting eight four
inch guns, two siege guns and six
quick-fring guns.
The position that the Japanese oc-
cupy on Lao Tieshan peninsula is
not clear, but numerous Chinese sour
ces aver that the Japanese have been
in force in that section. Apparently
a crushing attack originating in LOui-
sa bay swept through the Pigeon bay
