er is s. ID. Bishop, a Pullman con-
ductor on one of the lines running be-
tween Chicago and Denver. Their
mother was recently employed as q
pianist in local theater. The child
rem were taken to the shows daily and
played about the theatcr. The little
girl, with pretty face, and fair
voice, was useful. She soon learned
to put on an act" and was regular
ly enrolled as a performer at fifty
cents n night. The mother. II Is
said, became imbued with the stage
idea, and recently left, going with a
medicine show that travels from
place to place throughout the coun.
tiy, giving entertainments to attract
a crowd and thus increasing the
chances for sale of tablet medicine
The children have been living with
an aunt, of North Seffner avenue.
They are both kept very well dressed
and neat and clean in appearance
Money sent them by their father has
been appropriated by the mother, the
court has been told
The little girl was not brought into
court today. She went to Carding-
ton yesterday to appear for several
days at nickel theater there
The boy told the court that often
he waited and took his sister to their
home other times, one of her boy
friends would take her home, and
sometimes she would go home alone.

to put on acts at the various picture
theaters. Practically all of these are
under fourteen years of age ana
some are under twelve. Employ
ment of boys and girls under II years
of age is prohibited by statute and
the penalty Is severe.
Judge Spencer said today that he
only recently learned of the practice
He visited one of the theaters and
saw not less than six children, most
ly girls and each one under the
age of fifteen. He then determined
upon immediate action.
The grandparents of the Bishop
children. MIR. and Mrs. T. j Bishop
of the Boulevard. are anxious to have
the care of the little folks, and 1t Is
probable that the court will send
them there. provided strict surveil-
lance OF their habits is maintained by
the grandparents. More drastic
will be used IL these fail.
The other children employed I'm the
thcatcrs will be brought up and their
cases investigated
Whether or not there will be any
prosecution of those en-
ploying the children illegally. the
court would not state. 1t is probable
that each will be required to appear
in court and to at least give assur-
ance that the practice will cease.
Judge Senpcer will not ony see that
the law is not violated in regard to em
ployment of child labor but that boys
under the age of seventeen. are kept
off the streets at night and that
they attend school. Those who per-
sit in disobcying win become state
charges.

The case of Hugh Bishop, aged II,
brought the whole situation within
the view of the court. Young
Bishop had been loafing around the
Wonderland picture SHOW at night
and the police complained To the
juvenile court about him. Proba-
ton Ohcer Titus investigated and
found that he has been after young
Bishop several times on truancy
charges. The lad did not go to school
regularly because of an effcction of

In looking for man from the
middle west for his secretary of
the department. of commerce and
labor, President Taft acted upon
the suggestion of the republican
committee managers and appoint
ed Chas. Nagel to that portfolio.
Mr.. Nagel was connected with
the republican headquarters in
Chicago during the recent cam
paign. He is we'll known In law
and business circles in his home
city OF st. Louis. His firm came
into some notoriety in connection
with the WateN-Pierce litigation
when Texas was endeavoring to
keep the Standard Oil trust out
of that state, and later when Mis-
souri, tried to emulate Texas.
Some capital was made of this
during the campaign, and there
were those who said that there
was an Improperly in choosing a
Standard Oh attorney as one of
the managers of Taft's campaign.
Mr.. Nagel was born in Colora-
do county, Texas, Aug. 8, 1849.
He Is the son of DR.. Herman and
Frederick Nagel. His early ed
ucation was secured in the COM
mon and high school of st. Louis,
and he studied law at the st.
Louis law school, being admitted
TO the bar in 1872. A year was
then spent at the University OF
Berlin, after which he returned

Homemade Fire Extinguisher.

A simple fire extinguisher may be
made at home, and if kept always on
hand will sometimes prove of great
value. Take twenty pounds of COM

ammoniac or nitrate of ammoniac,
which can be bought at any drug
store Dissolve these in seven gallons
of water. Put in thin glass bottles
holding a quart each, cork tightly,
and seal to prevent evaporation When
a fire breaks out throw one of these
bottles so that it will break in or
near the flames, or if this is not pos
sible- break off the neck of the bot
tie and scatter the contents on the
fire. This has been tested. Some
times it is necessary to use several
bottles.-National Magazine.
