ENJOYABLE LETTERS.

It's such fun to get letters. We are
very interested in the ones that come
TO us and we take great pleasure i'll
printing some of them every Sunday.
so all the readers of the Tribune Junior
Forum may enjoy them. too. 1t is
very pleasant to learn that some OF
you like the page so well that you just
have TO sit down and write us about it.
And it is pleasaut. too, to think of
many Of you enjoying the summer
swimming like Mary Eliot, who writes
US this week. But we are sure many
more of you than write TO us are hay
ing adventures this summer in city or
country. The boys and girls who are
in the mountains or on farm have
different stories TO tell from those that
the children at the seashore can tell
and we wish you all would write us
Oftener and tell us and the other boys
and girls what you are doing. 1t may
help us TO have more fun, too.

THE IDEA COMES.

"All at once, just as he was about to
give it up, he happened TO be looking
right at the shell of Old Man Turtle Him
self He jumped up quickly and hit It
with his cane, and when it made quite
loud sound he laughed. for he knew now
how he could make those children hear
when he wanted them. He didn't say a
word TO Mother Storm Turtle. but went
right TO work and dug two holes and put
up two tall posts in the yard and fastened
a stout beam across the top OF them
Then he worked until he had bored hole
in one end of the shell OF Old Man Tur-
tie Himself and put chain in II and
dragged It over and strung 1t up between
the posts. so that IL swung there ana
didn't quite touch the ground. That OF
course, made a thing a good deal like Mr.
Mans dinner gong, only hundred times
as big and about a thousand times as
loud. Then Father Storm went out into
the woodhouse TO make club TO heat II
with. laughing to himself now and then
when he thought how Mother Storm Tur-
tie would most have a mt when she heard
it for the first time.

KITCHEN FLOOR NEEDS CARE

Precautions Are Taken.

The kitchen floor, which needs such
constant scrubbing, often causes much
trouble. as soap and water soften the
wood and increase its. tendency to
splinter. II 1t Is splintered much It
must be scraped smooth and then
with care it ought to do nicely.
Have the floor clean and smooth.
the cracks filled (if close grained
wood, 1t needs no filler). then rub q
thoroughly crude oil or one Of the
special preparations that are manufac-
tured for the purpose.
Oil slowly hardens and darkens q

sink into the wood. Never wax or
varnish kitchen or bathroom floors.
The slipperiness OF the wax may cause
a nasty fall and In any case it is a
waste Of money, for the water that
has to, be used In both kitchen and
bathroom will ruin the looks Of either
wax or varnish. After the floors are
once in good condition it is not =
difficult matter to keep them so.

Former to Pay $4,000; Latter $500,
for Violations Of Mann Act foe
Which They Were convicted-stays
OF Execution Granted. #s

San Francisco, Sept. 19.-4Judge Van
Fleet OF the United States district
court on Wednesday sentenced Maury
l. Diggs, former state architect of CAL
1fornia, to two years In the state peni-
Tertiary at San Quentin, and to pay q.
fine of $4,000 for violating the Mann
act.
F.. Drew Caminetti. son OF Anthony.
Caminetti, United States commission
er general of immigration, was sem
fenced to IS months at San Quentin
and to pay fine OF $500 for similar
offense.
A ten-day stay OF execution was
granted. and for that period Diggs was
admitted to bail In the sum OF SIS, 900
and Caminetti in the sum of 100000,
pending an appeal for a writ Of error.
Before sentence was imposed Rob
ert T. Devlin, for the defense, argued
at length that, should the sentence
exceed one year, 1t lay in the discre-5
ton Of the court to designate state
or county Jail rather than federal
penitentiary. Judge Van Fleet said he
was in some doubt as to his powers In
that matter and would be glad e TO-
listen s IN
Accordingly it came as surprise
after San Quentin had been designat-
ed when Devlin requested the court to
amend the sentence to specify the fed
eral penitentiary on McNeirs island

Judge Van Fleet amended the SEN
tence as requested, sub ect>to the ap-
proval OF the attorney general.
The Qffense charged was that the
prisoners transported Marsha War

prosecution and both wives for their
