Among the most important Of the
new laws now in effect are the laws
establishing the juvenile court. chang
sane patients to the state insane asy-
mm and making wife beating punish
able with whipping.
one Of the most important of the
new laws, and the one which will pro-
baby have the greatest effect in the
courts of Multnomah county, is what
is known as the parole law. Under
its provisions circuit court judges
have the power to parole certain con-
victs. II an adult not previously con-
victed of felony shall be convicted
of a crime, the maximum punishment
for which does not exceed 10 years in
the penitentiary, or any minor person
not previously convicted of felony
shall be convicted of crime, the max
imum punishment for which does not
exceed 90 years, and sentence shall
have been pronounced, the court be-
fore whom conviction was had may
in its discretion, parole the convict
and permit him to go at large under
the supervision of the court or of
some prisoners aid society.
When under parole prisoners must
conduct themselves in a law-abiding
manner and must report their where
abouts. together with all other infor-
nation which may be desired to the
court or to the society which has
their case in charge. Whenever the
conduct is not satisfactory the parole
may be revoked, and the convict must
then serve out the original sentence.
After the parole has been in effect
for a time exceeding minimum sem
tence provided for the offense for
which the person was convicted the
prisoner may be discharged from the
parole if the court so desires.
In connection with the parole law
is new law permitting the sentence
ing of prisoners for an indefinite
period. When convicted of a felony
for which the maximum sentence does
not exceed 90 years. the prisoner may
be sentenced to an indefinite term
and may be paroled by the governor
after the minimum sentence has been
served. providing his conduct has
been such as to warrant this action.

How the French Actor Got Into the
Sub Rosa Club.
One of the most famous of the Quar-
tier Latin clubs in Paris is the one
which is called the Sub Rosa.
The elder Coquelin, the great actor,
was present one night at the clubs
weekly feast and applied for member
ship. Now the only rules of the Sub
Rosa men are: Think much. Write
little. Be as silent as you can" The
presiding officer, with this last rule in
mind, answered the applicant by plac-
ing before him tumbler filed so full
of water that another drop would have
caused it to run over. Coquelin under
stood. The club membership was OBJ
viously full.
Over the table was suspended rose,
the club emblem. While the glass
still stood before him Coquelin broke
petal from the flower and laid it so
gently on the water that not a single
drop escaped. A silent man could join
and make no trouble.
Around the table ran a ripple of
smiles and little hand clapsand mods of
approval, and then, as If Of one accord
all began making bread balls. Then a
cup was passed from hand to hand and
each deposited his ballot in it, and
all were found to be round. Not one

TYPICAL FRENCH CHILD.
The Everyday Life of a Girl Eleven
Years of Age.

Years of Age.
Let me take Felice Boulanger (Which
isn't her name) as a typical French
child Of my experience, gained after
nearly three years residence In France.
She is one of five children ranging in
age from her brother of sixteen to the
youngest girl of six. Felice has skin
like the sheen of a pearl (which is
marvellous considering the amount of
indigestible food she bolts five times
a day; big, deerlike eyes, long lashed;
daintily shaped but seldom clean hands;
a thin, rasping and petulant voice even
IN her merriest mood and physique
like that Of a starved and homeless cat
harrow chested, spider legged and
staminaless generally. Yet she seems
full of vitality-nervous, irritable vital.
ity-eats as much food as an English
navy, and certainly has, as my Ameri
can lady friend says, heaps of sense =
But to see the child eating is painful
though interesting in way.
An English girl of eleven years OF
age, like Felice, would be sent to bed
at. say, 8 o'clock. Felice and her type

Fenred the Worst.

Friday vizer, familiar negro about
town in a certain part of Mississippi,
had been found dead, and, being
member of no church or lodge-very
unusual for negro-there was no one
to pray for his soul in the great beyond.
A few old intimates, however. carried
the body to the cemetery in rude pine
coffin, and Bob McRaven. one Of the
number, an old "befo' de wah darky,"
was called upon for few remarks.
Bob removed his hat and stepped rever-
emily and sadly toward the open grave
and in solemn, funereal tones said

you is gone whar we s'pects you ain't!

CATERPlLLARS AND LAW.
Actions Against the Insects In the
Courts of France.

Actions Against the Insects In the
Courts of France.
In the year 1545 the owners of the
vineyards of st. Julian, Savoy, France,
solemnly took action in the law courts
against host of hungry caterpillars
which had played havoc with their
vines. This grave matter was referred
to arbitration and came in due course
before the bishop as ecclesiastical
Judge.
Two lawyers were retained in the In
terest Of the insect ravagers, letters ad-
monishing them to discontinue their
mischief were issued, and commits
sion sat to estimate the damage done
The Judge held that no hasty decision
should be given. since it was possible
that the caterpillars had not acted ma.
liciously, but had been sent as a
scourge.
At the end of year from the first
proceedings it was held that the farm
ers must submit to the infilction and
pay all costs. After an interval Of for
ty-two years another army of caterpil
lars invaded the vineyards, another ac
tion was brought, and it was decided
that they were only exercising their le
gal rights. while the owners were ad
vised TO provide a piece of land where
they might range at will.

Stacking Alfalfa,

Throughout the western half of the
United States alfalfa hay is COMMONLY
stored in stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks Of grass hay. In the arid
regions there is little danger from
rains during the season Of storage, but
In humid climates 1t is necessary to
store the hay in barns or else cover
the stacks with large tarpaulins. or
they may be topped with grass. 9th
erwise the percentage of waste is very
large In any case there is likely to
be some waste. for which reason the
stacks are made large. thus reducing
the proportionate amount OF waste. In
the alfalfa regions Of the west the
stacks are as high as the hay can be
handled easily and may be 200 feet or
more in length. The size of the stack
Is then limited chiefly by the conve-
nience in bringing the hay from the
surrounding field.

OCCUPATION or SAKHALlN
Latest Rove Of Japs Considered an

st. Petersburg, July 1O.-With the

on Russian soil, after eighteen months
of war, the Importance of the landing
on the island of Sakhalin, news of
which has been received here, is gen.
orally admitted both in newspaper
comment and in government circles.
Complete occupation of the island il
now regarded as foregone conclusion.

that fleet of Japanese warships GOV.
cred the landing of ten transports of
Japanese troops. Previous to the land
ing the Russians blew up what coast
defense guns they had and retired.
The Novoe Vreyma voices the gen.
eral sentiment in holding that control
Of Sakhalin puts a powerful lever in
the possession of Japanese diplomacy,
which finally has something tangible
in its hands to throw upon the scales
with the sword in the coming confer
ence.
There is divergence Of opinion with
regard to the effect it will have upon
the negotiations at Washington, some
of the irreconcilables declaring that it
makes peace at the present juncture
more impossible than before, as japan
will be able to demand the cession of
the island and heavy indemnity as
we'll, which terms of peace will be too
costly, but the more prevalent view is
that Japan has now enough trumps to
take the game.
The attack on the island certainly
dissipates one Of the peace advocates,
who have been suggesting that it's vol

Port Arthur and the Chinese railroad

REIGN or THE DOLLAR OVER
Gov. Folk on the Significance Of
"Graft" Exposures.

Gov. Folk on the Significance Of
"Graft" Exposures.
New York, July 1O.-The World has
the following from Joseph W. Folk,
governor of Missouri:
I'm response to your telegram as to
my opinion of the significance of the
boodling exposures so generally being
made, and as to whether it indicates a
decsdence in the moral tone of the
American people, have to say:
1.-THE hunt for boodlers and grafters
now going on from one end of the land
to the other is an evidence not Of NOR
al degeneration, but of moral awake
ming. Up to three years ago there
had been only thirty -four cases Of brib.
cry reported in the preceding hundred
years of our country's history. This
was not because the offense was uncom-
mon, but for the reason that it was un-
usual for anyone to be prosecuted for
what was then termed a conventional
crime. Men gave brides and thought
nothing of it. Men took brides and
boasted of the fact. Legislative halls
became dens of thieves. The touch of
the unclean dollar was over all and
the public conscience was asleep.
Then came the revelations in St.
Louis, followed by Minneapolis and
other large cities and the people awoke
to how they were being plundered by
their trusted officials, and to the fact
that bribery, if allowed to 60 uncheck-
ed, would mean government not of the
people, but of the few with wealth
enough to purchase official favors.
From city to city and from state to
state the idea went until now many
states and cities are waging war
against the things that dishonor.
This condition should encourage
all lovers Of good government, for the
remedy for corruption in its last anal
ysis lies in the hearts of the people.
1--WE have passed through the com
mercisl age, when the chief end and
aim were to acquire wealth; we are
entering now into the age Of high
ideals. The question is now not how
to get rich, but how to get right. The
rule of the dollar is not as potent as it
was and the reign of law is becoming
more accepted. We are passing from
evil to good and from darkness to
light"
