LET YOUR BOY WORK
AS WELL AS PLAY
By Edwin Markham.

"That boy of Yours" issued by the
George H. Doran Company, discusses
the various problems of the care of
youth. The author, James S. Kirtley,
has a suggestive chapter to parents. He
claims that rational child-labor is as
necessary as child-play in the develop
ment of the boy. He says:
"The amount of enjoyment a boy
gets out of the enterprises he initiates
himself is wholesome education; it
is an anticipation Of his career and a
preparation for it. He must be en-
couraged to do this, and carefully guild
ed. Guidance is highly necessary.
'Even employment with hobbies is q
benefit, as it develops special tastes
and, sometimes, fits for special work
in the future. If no other good comes
from them, they are, at least, employ
ments, and that is something; but the
memory of them is sure to be source
of recreative amusement to him in the
future.
Zone boy Of my acquaintance went
into the white rabbit industry and act
ually paid expenses, while getting back
large returns of pleasure and informa-
tion and sympathy with animal life.
Another went into photography; while
little group, near by, studied wire
less telepraphy. Drawing, ceramic
work, sketching, music--vocal and in
strumental-have given boys lots Of
pleasure and profit.
"Another makes it pay to raise pigs;
another certain breed Of dogs; still
another boy makes specially of
pigeons. There is an enterprising lad
who raises vegetables in the back yard,
on shares and he sells his half for
enough to take music lessons on the
flute. Boys Organizations-gangs and
clubs and troops-may be given en-
ployment by the public and by indi.
viduals. That kind Of organization
does double good.
But the note Of warning must be
sounded. Perils await the boy. Among
his interesting ventures are those in
which his father engages to give him
financial compensation for services Of
greater or less insignificance. Let both
him and his father beware lest he learn
to put financial value on those minis.
tries which he should render freely and
gladly as n son. Let him learn to co.
operate for the pleasure of doing his
part. Let every command given him
be- summons to his nobler sense Of
comndeship, all work come to be team
work and all rewards to be gratifica.
tion to his unselfishness
"The boy is in peril Of early pes
simism, as he finds that everybody
feels competent to direct him and JUS
titled in imposing on him by withhold.
ing or cutting his wages, working him
overtime and in numberless ways fail
ing to recognize that boy can get
tired or hungry, or irritated, or indig'
nant.
"He may be so directed that his
early ventures will bo in the line of
his future achievements. It will be
well for him to have in mind such boys
as Andrew Carnegie, who came over
from Scotland with only sovereign
in his pocket, but with sovereignty in
his soul, and fired n stationary engine
for two.fifty a week. A boy can get
the virtues of industry honesty, fair
ness and altruism started and operative
in his life quite early"

GRESWELL POISONING
CASE IS SUBMITTED TO
JURY AT NOON

At 1890 this afternoon the jury in
the case wherin Effie Creswell is being
tried on the charge of attempting to
poison inmates and officers Of the Ore
gon Industrial Training School for
Girls, received their instructions from
Judge Cleeton and retired. After very
brief deliberation a verdict of guilty
was found.
Girls Testify.
The hearing of the case was resumed
this morning at 8 o'clock and the
states witnesses were called. Char
ollotte Ferris, Lydia Fischer, Eva
Bridgham and Alma Worden, all in
mates Of the institution were called to
the stand by County Attorney Ringo.
They told practically the same story
of how they discovered that something
was wrong with the tea and coffee; of
how they were instructed to search for
the bottle in which Mrs. Creswell was
supposed to have carried the poison and
of how the defendant denied placing
the strychnine in the coffee and tea
pots at the school.
DR.. Byrd, an assistant physician at
the asylum, was called by the state to
testify as to the results of an inspection
made of the alleged poisoned tea. The
physician testified that while he found
evidence Of strychnine in the tea he
could not swear positively that it was
really strychnine.
Directed Verdict Asked.
Upon the grounds that there had
been no evidence introduced by the
state to show that there had been any
strychnine placed in the coffee and tea
and that the states witnesses were all
unable to swear that such a crime had
been committed, Attorney Ernest Blue,
counsel for Mrs. Creswell, moved for
a directed verdict. Judge Cleeton how.
ever, overruled the motion on the
grounds that the testimony on the part
of one of the witnesses was to the eff.
feet she knew what strychnine tasted
like and that there was other evidence
tending to show that the jury should
have the case.
Attorney Blue called Mrs, L, Tindell
to the stand to testify in behalf of Mrs.
Creswell The witness stated that she
had known Mrs. Creswell for four years
and did not believe that she was Grim.
inally inclined. Mrs, Creswell did not
testify.
Criticises County Attorney.
In his argument before the jury, At.
torney Blue bitterly criticised County
Attorney Ringo for escorting the state Is
witnesses to local drug store and
showing them different kinds Of bot.
ties, powders etc, for the purpose of
coaching them for their testimony to-
day, when they took the witness stand.
He argued that the other girls were
just as guilty as his client and that the
whole affair was started for the simple
reason that the other girls, in order
to clear their skirts Of possible crime,
had fastened the evidence on Mrs.
Crswell.
County Attorney Ringo's statement
to the jury was brief. He simply re-
viewed the testimony introduced by the
state and asked for a verdict Of guilty.
The court room was crowded with
spectators this morning and among
them were many women.

KEENEY BILL IS
COMEDY TRIUMPH

Keeney's Theatre for the last half
of the week offers a bill that is re-
plete with comedy acts The top
honors go TO Miss Inez McCauley and
company In the sketch, THE Girl
from Childs." This sketch has the
rather unusual plot of a divorced wife
being employed by the second wife
as maid. the employment of course,
starting without the knowledge of
the husband
The surprise Of the husband when
he finds his first wife as a maid in his
home can well be imagined Miss
McCauley as the first wife displayed
splendid talent in her work, which
ranges all the way from the slang
talk Of a girl waiter in childs's
restaurant to the woman. who. al
though hating her former husband,
Is bound to see that he treats his
second wife in a rightful way.
Second place on the bill goes to
Warren Travis, a strong man. who
does his act in such a way that the
audience is satisfied there is no de-
eeption. After swinging giant dumb
bells and pianos around as easily as
the average person swings toothpicks,
Travis startles his audience by step
ping to the footlights and requesting
eighteen or twenty men to step oil
the stage and stand on a platform
that is raised above the stage. He
says he wants a ton and a half of
humanity to stand on the platform.
Last night Travis succeeded in get
ting an even dozen men. weighing a
total Of about 1000 pounds. to take
their places on the platform. Then
he proceeded to lift the platform on
his shoulders, and he held the ton of
weight suspended in the air. easily.
e. j. Basten gets a lot of fun out
of novelty bicycle act In which he
keeps both the audience and himself
in good humor by line of talk that
is really funny. Ward %" comedy
sketch. by six persons, built around
life in a hospital, is humorous at
times but grows rather tiresome. It
would seem that the sextet could get
something a little fresier to sing
than the worn out ''Bobbing Up and
Down" as a climax for their act.
Holman and Wright in a sketch
get lot of laughs. the italian dialect
of Holman being especially good.
Curtis and Frederick in a song and
dance act went well last night, and
the same is true of Valid and Brown.
Miss Beth Stone and Jack Conner do
the tango and other dance fads In
good style.
