pendents, Remove from them their
vicious or poor surroundings The ju-
venile court was instituted for this
purpose, It's laws are framed so as to
give the widest scope 10 the removal
Of children from harmful influences.
The county judge, save in Cook county,
presides over this court and has more
power even than the parent over the
unfortunate child We have hoped to
hear from Judge r. S. Tuthill the pre-
siding judge Of the Juvenile court of
Cook county, probably the hest author
ity on juvenile law in His country,
on this branch Of the work
AS officers. look after the children
Of the poor and vicious and use the
juvenile courts when necessary, AS
adjunct to this work of child saving,
recognized by law and proving more
beneficial in permanent results than
the orphan asylum, are the children q
home finding societies. Doubtless you
have had some dealings with some
Of them. There is an accredited list
Of such societies furnished by the
state board Of charities to the county
Judge of each county There have
been placed by the illinois Children a
Home and Aid Society, one hundred
and thirty five children taken from
this county in the past few years.
There is a small but excellent orphans
home here which is used as a tenn
porary refuge for dependent childrcB
i is a great help in handling such
children and its officers aid the court
and county board very materially in
disposing Of these little ones, This
county and many others have aided
financially the societies ia placing the

that "an ounce Of prevention is worth

THE CONVENTION
ENDS WORK

Of, c. c. C.-Cause, Care. Cure, A
rational scheme when speaking about
dependents.
The Cause when a physician Is
called to see a sick person, not only
does he note the symptoms Of the
disease, such as the flushed face, the
coated tongue or the severe headache.
but he also inquiries at once into the
underlying causes Of these symptoms.
He then tries to remove the cause.
Once done the patient RECEIVERS, A
failure to do so means more suffer
ing and sometimes death. Back of
every pauper lies the cause of his
poverty. Behind the feeble minded
and insane are antecedents that pro-
duees these mental conditions. The
founding and the orphan become pub
lie charges because of the misconduct
or misfortune of their parents,
A wise and faithful official, whose
duties take him among such classes
seeks to find out and lessen the causes
producing dependents. Numerous
things bring degeneraey and depend
ency. Often the two so hand in hand
1t is not, however, with crime direct
ly that we are dealing today but only
as it brings with it or comes in con.
tact with the unfortunate depending
ones. We are considering those classes
of persons who become public charges
or objects of charity by reason of de
pending or relying upon another for
material help, support or strength
The cause of poverty and degenera
tion might be divided into two classes
Misconduct and misfortune. These ii
turn might be subdivided into mum
erous branches. Sufficient, however
will 1t be to mention some of the more
important ones.
Under misconduct certainly can bt
placed intemperance, immortality, shift
lessness and extravaganza.
Under misfortune comes sickness.

a record heretofore unheard Of, which
proves positively that the manager who
is able to furnish the public with the
proper kind of amusement, it is always
ready to show its appreciation and re-
spond with its cash.
The Sully Family presenting the two
clever juveniles John +. Jr., and Little
Billy, are proving a number of con-
siderable interest at the Garrick this
week, and overshadow their father and
mother in the comedy which they in
fuse into the sketch. Van Fossen and
McCauley, the western black face COM
eiques. are making good in no uncer-
tain manner; Mr.. and Mrs. Robyns all
ways popular, are more so this week
than ever, judging by the applause
which they receive. Irene Franklin,
the character comedienne, pleases the
gallery as we'll as the parquet circle,
and the Ballet Imperial does like
wise. There are other good features
contributing to the excellence Of the
program. 1t is quite evident that the
patrons of the Garrick are not yet
ready to give up their vaudeville for
outdoor amusements.

Real successes in the theatrical field
at the present time are few and far
between. and the rich luscious plums, in
the play line, fall into the lap of the
keen, far sighted manager who is best
able to judge what the amusing public
desire.
Such man William A. Brady
proved himself to be, when he selected
the musical comedy Girls VIII be
Girls" written by Joseph Hart and r.
Melville Baker as a vehicle to exploit
the talents of AL Leech and the Three
Rosebuds "Girls Will be Girls" COM
ing to the Grand Opera House for the
third time next Tuesday, is perhaps
one of the greatest musical successes
of the season. After it's long run at
the Majestic Theatre, Boston, it en-
tered upon a series of engagements
through New England, and so great
was its success that return engage
ments Were demanded by the theatrical
managers in many cities throughout
that section and in several instances
the attraction has been obliged to play
return engagements four and five times
in order to satisfy the popular demand

Fishing.

Coming on to direct your mind to the superior
sport of fshing-or to employ the classical term,
angling-you will think at first blush that it is an
unreasonable topic for December. But that is not
so, for two reasons:
First. Fishing may be done in winter almost
successfully as in summer, but of course not
pleasantly
You may take gourd of reaches to-day, even if
lies on the ground and thin ice iuts out from
the banks, and go with them to good pool and
they will not last long. The trout are hungry
tigers. The cork will bob but briefly under the
bats excitement before down she goes, making
her deepening way toward midstream, and the tug
begins.
While this is so, yet fishing will be
popular winter sport. 1t is too dreary. The
naked reaches of cypress and gum, purple with
the cold and with but few of their seeds left
clinging in defiance of wind and birds; the creepy
whisper of dry yellow rushes when the wind goes
through their beds, as if they wished to take up
their aching feet from the water; the funeral
stiffness brooding everywhere, without sapsuck
