Bit Of History Of Boys and Girls
Aid Society.
Is DOING EXCELLENT WORK
The Peer Of Any Similar Institution in
tho East--How Children Are Pro-
i vided For--Clatsop County's
Youngsters Cared For.

The Boys & Girls Aid Society has
passed through its hands during the
last years OF its existence greater
sumber Of children than any other in.
stitution in the State of Oregon or,
in fact, any other Institution OF its size
in the United States. Daring the last
National Conference Of Charities and
Corrections, Superintendent Gardner
says that in comparing notes with a
superintendent OF one Of the large east
ern child. placing agencies, he found
that, the Boys and Girls Aid Society
had as many children pass through its
hands during the preceding year as did
the State School OF Minnesota located
at 0watonna of that State. Its work
in the past has been caring for the
homeless, neglected and abused children
of the State of Oregon, and also Juvenile
offenders who had committed their first
depreciation, to provide for such until
suitable homes or employment We're
found for them, and TO continue
systematic attention to their condition
and treatment. However, the largest
class cared for by the Society is the
former, and many cases of deep interest
come before the Society for adjustment.
Among the little ones at present to be
placed out for legal adoption or inden-
ture are some interesting little children.
The two,weeks' old baby that was men,
TONED has parents in Eastern Oregon,
who had placed tho child in the care Of
9 person in this city and then left the
child to its fate. The child was placed
with this Society and home has now
been found for it in an excellent family
who will adopt it as their own. One OF
the girls to be placed out in family
home is the last remaining child in a
family Of four committed to the Society
from an outside county-two girls and
two boys. All now have found good
homes with the exception OF this l3-
year r-old girl, and home is now in
prospect for her. Their story is in
deed sad one and was unearthed by
the travelling agent Of the Society, who
found the family living in tent amid
the most poluting moral surroundings.
The father was one of that class of men
who let things 60 on as they may, and
the mother was an immoral woman and
allowed her young dauhgters to run
around town with dissolute men, until
the case became so notorious that it
came to the ears of the officers of the
Boys 4 Birls' Aid Society. No one,
however, in the vicinity could be found
with courage enough to make the com
plant, as they were afraid the parents
would burn them out, SO that the So
ciety's agent did that part of the work
and the county officers completed it by
committing the children to the Society.

OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, But Upon
Vital Force.

In Astoria lately there has been Q
good deal Of discussion In regard "a
old people. Some at fifty years call
themselves old. and really appear so
while Others at seventy years seems
active, vigorous, and young
1t is not years. but 1t is loss OF vital
force that makes person old. Weak
ened digestion, thin blood and poor cir
culation soon start functional powers
and vitality on the wane, and then the
symptoms Of old age quickly appear.
Our well known druggist, Mr.. Charles
Rogers, says, "that old feeling may Be
warded Off, and we wish every person
in Astoria who feels old, whether
they are so in years or not, would try
the great discovery, Vinol. We know
that ii has vital principles which will
in natural manner strengthen diges'
ton, send rich, red blood coursing
through the veins, and give new life
and strength to every organ OF the
body, and this Is what makes the old
feel young again.
Mrs. II. w. Avery says:
AT the age OF eight-nine felt the
need OF tonic, something to strengthen
and build me up. For some time !
have been taking Vinol, and | have
found that it brings vigor and renewed
vitality to the aged as nothing else
will"
vinol repairs worn tissues, checks
the natural decline and replaces
weakness with strength. 1t il an ideal
body builder for old olks.

Gently by County Judge Trenchard.
Superintendent GardneH who took
charge Of the six older children. says
there is but one left in the institution
at present. II viii be remembered that
this is the case which Sheriff Hnville
and Superintendent Gardner went to
look after q short time ago at knappa.
They found the family living in house
which was too filthy for human habita'
ton, and the mother at the time in
physically and mentally to!
care for her family, while the father
had deserted them, leaving them with
out means to care for themselves.
Sheriff Linville procured the services OF
a farm wagon and brought the entire
family to the depot at knappa and
finally to Astoria. Judge Trenchard,
after hearing the evidence, turned the
entire family of eight children over to
Gardner, six to be cared
for by the Boys 4 Girls Aid Society
and the two younger to be placed in
the Baby Home. The three older child.

Home is a boy aged about six. Mr..
Gardner says that the father has called
on two or three ocasions to see the
children and expressed himself a. want

cornered and asked what his ability was
at this time, said that just at present
he had very little means, but would
care for them as soon as he could. Mr.
Gardner's advice to the father was to

PINE ORCHARD ROMANCE.
John G. Carlisles Young Grandson
 Welded to Miss Hume.

John G. Carlisle's Young Grandson Welded to Miss Hume.
 An end-season Pine Orchard romance has just become known in the an- |nouncement of the marriage of John G. Carlisle, grandson of the former secre- tary of the treasury, and Miss Margaret Hume, daughter of w. T. Hume, who is manager of the European business of a typewriter company. Both families have cottages at Pine Orchard, and are still there.
 Young Carlisle and Miss Hume on Thursday afternoon went to St. Fran els Xavier's Roman Catholic church in New York and had the ceremony per- formed by Father Rensselaer,. The pa- rents or relatives of bride and groom were not present. The bride is now on the way to Europe with her mother, while her young husband has gone back to his work in New York, where he will count the hours until his wife completes a tour of Europe and is restored to him. This separation of husband and wife is by mutual consent, and when it is stat ed that the bride is only nineteen years old and the bridegroom a year younger some idea may be bained of the strength of mind shown by the young couple when they consented to be parted.
