LOS ANGELES HERALD Classified Ad. Section Part ll—Pages 1 to 8 SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1909. DEMURRAGE ON CARS WILL NOT BE RAISED LAW IS ENACTED TO BE USED IN EMERGENCY Traffic Manager for Los Angeles As. soeiated Jobbers Says Act la Intended to Prevent Car Famine F. P. Gregson, traffic manager of the Los Angeles Associated Jobbers, has returned from San Francisco, where he attended a meeting of representative business men from Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and California cities called to consider the question of distributive rates. The purpose of the meeting was to call to the attention of the interstate commerce commission the discrimina- tory nature of rates to be promulgated under the ruling in the Spokane case. The Pac.fic coast cities will contend that the distributive rate is prejudicial to their commercial interests, giving St. Paul, Chicago and other inland cities an advantage over them. Mr. Gregson corrected the popular idea that demurrage, amounting to $6 a day, would be charged jobbers and shippers for failing to load or unload curs. The demurrage act of the legis- lature, he stated, is intended to prevent a car famine, and it is only in an emergency that the demurrage as authorized by law will be charged. Or- dinarily the demurrage will be $1 a day, as heretofore. The privilege of charging the maxi- mum rate is intended to expedite traffic and facilitate the movement of cars so there will not be a congestion of traffic. Mr. Gregson does not look for an ad- vance in demurrage but for a better movement of freight, which will be to the advantage of the shipper. ALLEGED TO HAVE SOLD BOGUS WHISKY RECEIPTS Nathan Roomer, who culled himself a whisky salesman, and who is alleged to have obtained money under false pretenses, was brought back from San Francisco yesterday morning by De- tective Louis Hieo. Roemer was ar- rested in the Bay city Tuesday night. It is alleged Roemer sold bogus ware- house receipts for whisky to Anton- rich & Miletich, wholesale llquor*Seal- erl Commercial street, to the amount of $X69. According to the statement of Rico, the prisoner admitted he knew the cer- tificates had no value when he sold them. He will be arraigned In Police Justice Williams' court this morning. PRISONER PROBABLY WILL NOT FACE FRAUD CHARGE William Davis, who was brought from New Albany, Ind., Thursday night to answer a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses from several Los Angeles wholesale houses, was trans- ferred yesterday morning from the re- ceiving hospital to the county hospital, and It is believed Davis will not live to face the charge against him. Davis is a physical wreck, and is suf- fering from a complication of diseases. Eight months' confinement in prison in Cincinnati aggravated the tubercular trouble with which be Is affected. \u25a0 ARREST LAWYER; FRAUD CHARGED FORGERY AND PERJURY ARE ACCUSATIONS PRISONER SAID TO HAVE AIDED! GERTRUDE DRIGGS Name of Late John Charnock Alleged to Have Been Attached Falsely to Deeds to Secure Property Charles M. Ackerman, an attorney with offices in the Bullard block, was arrested yesterday at his home, 531 Britannia street, by S. L. Browne, chief I of the criminal investigation bureau of the district attorney's office. He was arraigned before Justice Ling on two charges, forgery and perjury, and ow- ing to his inability to furnish bonds of $2500, was placed in the county jail. Ackerman is charged with abetting | Gertrude Driggs in the alleged forgery of the name of the late John Charnock to deeds to a large portion of his prop- erty and later filed In the recorder's office. The charge of perjury grows out of Ackerman's testimony in Justice Ling's court during the preliminary examination of Mrs. Driggs, whose trial on a forgery charge is set for June 21 in Judge Willis',court. The complaint against the attorney was issued by W. J. Ford, deputy dis- trict attorney, and sworn to by C. R. Smead, executor of Charnock's will and nephew of the deceased. Ackerman's connection with the Driggs ense has been the subject of an Investigation beginning more than three weeks ago, his testimony during the preliminary hearing of the woman being of such a nature that the sus- picions of Deputy Ford were aroused that the full facts concerning his asso- ciation with her as notary and attorney were concealed. Claims He Took Acknowledgment While testifying in that examination, Ackerman said he accompanied Mrs. Driggs to the home of John Charnock early In March, and as notary took the old man's acknowledgement to his sig- nature on a deed prepared by Acker- man at request of Mrs. Driggs the day before. Ackerman said he did not see Char- nock write his name, but waited on the porch of Charnock's home until he and Mrs. Driggs came out, the latter with the paper in her hand. The matter was placed in the hands of Mr. Browne about three weeks ago. and the report of his investigation Ml handed to Deputy Ford yesterday. In it Mr. Browne expresses the belief that the attorney has full knowledge and was cognizant of every step taken by Mrs. Driggs, and also acted In oon- junctton with her in her alleged efforts to obtain possession of part of the (Jharnock estate. Following the receipt of the report Ackerman was closeted with Deputy Ford for half an hour yesterday fore- noon. Another conference was arranged for the early afternoon, but when the appointed time arrived the attorney telephoned he was prevented from go-. Ing to the district attorney's office, and| another appointment was arranged for 4 o'clock, Ackerman being told If ht; did not put In an appearance a war- rant for his arrest would be Issued. When he did not appear nt 4:30 o'clock Mr Browne went to Ackerman's home and placed him under arrest. Ackerman stated later that there wag nothing criminal in his connection with the Driggs affair. "I told my story on the witness stand in Justice Ling's court." he said, "and what I said was the truth. If there has been any forgery I know nothing about It. I have been aware that an investi- gation' was being made, but have felt no fear of the final outcome." The date for the preliminary examin- ation of Ackerman probably will be set today by Justice Ling.

TWO CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETIES ARE SEPARATE Woman Solicitor Secures Money for Organization Not Member of National Asociation Herbert W. Lewis, state superinten- dent of the Children'! Home Society of California, calls attention to the fact that a woman is soliciting funds in Los Angeles for the Children's Home Finding society, an organization en- tirely distinct from the Children's Home Society of California, and that the organization represented by this woman does not belong to National As- sociation of Children's societies, as does Mr. Lewis' organization, r>or has It been indorsed by the Merchants asso- ciation of San Francisco and the Mer- chants and Manufacturers' association of Los Angeles, as has the Children's Home society. The home finding or- ganization was formed some years ago by a former employe of the Children's Home Society of California. GIRL TELLS OF ALLEGED ATTACK COLLAPSES UNDER SEVERE EXAMINATION AGED MAN ACCUSED Of CRIME APPEARS INDIFFERENT Attorney for Real Estate Dealer Shoulders Blame for Delays in the Case—To Continue Today The preliminary hearing of the case of B. H. Markham, a Los Angeles real estate dealer, charged with attempted assault on the person of 11-year-old Ethel Wolfe, after five previous de- lays, was begun yesterday afternoon in Police Justice Freclorickson's court. At 5:30 o'clock the little girl, who was on the witness stand, collapsed and the hearing was continued until 10 o'clock this morning. The court room was filled with a curious crowd when court began at 2 o'clock and the greater portion of those present were women. Before the hear, ing began Attorney Davis for the de- fense addressed the court in regard to the newspaper criticism that had been made on account of the numerous de- lays in the hearing. Attorney Davis took on his shoulders the burden of responsibility for the delays, and said: "I take this occasion to thank the court for Its justice in this matter. I am proud the Judge had the honesty and fearlessness to do what Is right. If there is any blame or fault-finding in the matter I want that blame to fall on my own shoulders. Kftorts to Incite mob force should be denounced In the strongest language " Court Room Cleared Police Justice Frederickson replied he fully understood the situation. At- torney Davis then requested the court cleared of all but the attorneys, do- fendant, and that each witness be kept from the court room until called. "In vlaw of the article that has ap- peared in a morning paper I also re- quest the newspaper sensation mon- gers be excluded." The room was cleared, much to the disappointment of the crowd who had anticipated hearing the testimony. Charles Oaltnar, 427 Wall street, one of the men who. It is alleged, inter- cepted Markham at the time of the alleged assault, was the first witness called. He related what happened at Klysi.m park, and told of being at- tracted by screams and of rushing to the girl's assistance. He was sub- jected to a grueling cross-examination. William Van Outen. 645 Ceres ave- nue, was next called to the stand, and his testimony was mostly a corrobora- tion of the story told by Calmar. In each case a severe cross-examination was given, in an endeavor to shake the testimony of the witnessee. Girl Collapses on Stand Ethel Wolfe, the victim of the al- leged assault, was brought to the stand, and for more than an hour and a half told the story of her experience in the park and the treatment she re- ceived at the hands of Markham. Finally, wearying of the severe ques- tioning, the little cirl collapsed and was carried from the witness stand, her testimony unfinished. Police Jus- tice Frederickson then adjourned the hearing until this morning. All during the trial the defendant, who gives his age at 65, but who would easily pass for a man of 50, sat stolid- ly looking ahead, and his eyes did not meet those of his alleged victim. S. B. Wolfe, father of the little girl, stated after the trial that every point is being fought so bitterly that he did not look to see the case finished today. The efforts of the defense were direct- ed to shaking the testimony of the witnesses of the prosecution, which made the hearing tedious. Attorney H. H. Appel, representing the Women's Legal Aid society, which has become Interested in the case, as- sisted in the prosecution. Following the completion of the girl's testimony today Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe will testify and medical testimony will be introduced to show the condition of the girl shortly after the alleged as- sault. DEALERS IN PRODUCE MUST OBEY THE LAW Seven Men Who Sell Fruit and Vege- tables Arrested for Alleged Vio- lation of Health Ordi. nances of City As a result of the crusade against the selling of produce undor conditions that are not sanitary, seven produce dealers were arrested yesterday after- noon on complaints issued by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Seymour. The complaints charged that the dealers had exposed (or sale produce, fruit and other edibles which were not prop- erly screened, as provided for in the health ordinances. The dealers arrested were B. F. Christian, Frank Simpson, P. M. Young, E. B. Rivers, 1.,. G. Zaiser, J. H. Doylo and C. S. Mart-ton. All were released on bail to appear for trial next Tuesday afternoon. In addition to the seven arrests, nine additional complaints have been issued on similar charges. RESIDENCE BURNED BY INCENDIARY IS BELIEF Police Believe Flames Are Result of Spite—Loss to Building and Contents $1600 A flre, supposedly of incendiary origin, damaged tlie home of Mrs. A. Allen, 1467 Tennessee street, to the ex- tent of $1600 yesterday afternoon. The building: was a two-story frame struc- ture, and the damage to the building was $1500 and to the contents $100. Mrs. Allen, who owned the house, had removed most of her furniture and departed from Los Angeles yesterday for a visit with friends. No one was in the house at the time the fire started and the police, who in- vestigated the blaze, believe it to be spite work on the part of an enemy of Mia. Allen. JAPANESE CRUISERS FORMERLY RUSSIAN WARSHIPS ASO AND SOYA TO BE AT A. Y. P. FAIR Vessels of Asiatic Navy Were Cap- tured During War and Sunk, Af- terward Being Salved by Their Victors During the Alaska-Yukon-Paclfle ex- position in Seattle the Japanese gov- ernment will be represented by the two cruisers of the Imperial navy, the Soya and Aso. These vessels will be present at the opening on the first day of June. Both vessels possess peculiar interest, as they were at one time under the flag of Russia, and it was against their sides the flrst shots in the Russo- Japan war were directed. At the opening of the late war the Russian cruisers Koreetz and Varyag were in the harbor of Chemulpoo. War between the two nations had been im- minent for some time, but so far as was known no formal declaration had been made. A formidable Japanese fleet ap- peared one morning and a demand for the immediate surrender of the ships was asked;, this request was denied by the Russian commander, and in the face of superior strength the two cruis- ers sailed out of the 'harbor of Che- mulpo and engaged in the (irst battle of the war. The fight was one marked by un- usual bravery on the part of the Rus- sian commander, but there could only be one result. In less than an hour from the. time of steaming out to battle both ships staggered back, their decks strewn with dead and seriously wounded above and below the water line. A short time after coming to anchorage both ships sank. The Koreetz and Varyag were after- ward salved by the successful nation, and under the names of Soya and Aso now form part of the navy of Japan.

CHILDREN EXHIBIT THEIR HANDICRAFT SENTOUS SCHOOL HOLDS ITS ANNUAL DISPLAY Building Thronged with Parents and Friends to Witness Progress Made by Pupils In Practical Things Sentous school was thronged yester- day afternoon with parents and friends of the public to witness the annual exhibition of the work done by the children who attend that school. The rooms Trom the kindergarten to , the eighth grade were decorated In an artistic manner and from the walls of the kindergarten branch depended tho smiling faces of paper Chinese, and on 1 tables were created block houses which , the boys had built "in a day." In some of the rooms hammocks, the work of the children of the first and : second grades, were swung and in these comfortable reclining vehicles was placed many a Teddy bear and treas- -1 ured dolly. By the older pupils were displayed cardboard sloyd models In finished letter cases, portfolios and book covers. Maps and drawings on walls gave I evidence that while the children sing ; "I love thy rocks and rills," they have a fairly accurate Idea of the geography and topography of thoso same rocka and rills, as well as many foreign places. There were also numerous original designs in book covers and posters and many remarkably well written speci- mens of fancy penmanship, the work of the grammar grades. In the large hall, which had been festooned and decorated by the older pupils, were displayed cookery, sewing and sloyd models. On a large table in the center of the room stood rows of edibles, and while one felt tempted to partake of these, a sign forbade their being touched by the hands of the spec- tators. All kinds of pastry, preserves, confectionery, salads, entrees and roasted meats were shown, testifying: to the thorough instruction the little housewives have received. Among the sewing work displayed were some really excellent specimens of needlework, showing to good advantage what the children can do. In the wood-sloyd work were in- cluded mission tables, hatracks, ink- stands, picture frames, glove boxes, handkerchief cases, clock stands and bookcases. All appeared to be care- fully and skilfully made, and many were even artistic in finish and de- sign. Accused of Passing Bogus Check C. M. Draper, living at 356 South Grand avenue, who Is one of th« owners of a Wast Seventh street saloon, was arrested last night by Detective Hosick on the charge of having passed a fictitious check for 165 on John B. Elliott, the manager of the Asso- ciated Press. Draper was Indebted to El- liott and had delayed payment for a long time, until finally when pressed for a settle- ment he la said to have written a chuck on the Park bunk for the amount and to have given It to KUlott. When the check was presented for payment It wu refused be- cau«« at no account Piano /^^^§^ Th© Headquarters iff -^v \ Victor Dealers OP TUB IUI A^fCyf\^ IHI Ofl |_1| THE HOUSE OP \^^^^^V^ lUBICfILQafILITY- Jrrr^ Splendid Records in the VICTOR June List We want every Talking Machine owner to hear these wonderful new productions.

DlOaUWay 1,, and Trait Business Wise Talks By the "Office Boy" How often do you hear the re- mark. "If I only had a chance, but there are no chances now- adays." No chance in a land where nobody is held down by caste; in the country where log- cabin boys and poor boys from the farm go to the White House; in a country with thousands of libraries, hundreds of thousands of schools, free night schools, free educational lectures, free courses in education in nearly all the Young Men's Christian associations; where even boys from the slums become our leg- islators, and where the poorest boys become our \u25a0 merchant princes, our great bankers and financiers; where so many busi- ness houses and institutions are built up by boys r.'ith no oppor- tunity except their own energy and integrity: where brakemen and even section hands become railroad presidents; in a land that has proved innumerable times that you cannot keep an energetic boy back after you have once given him his alpha- bet? No chance when history has proved many thousand times the disadvantage of too many advantages? Fifteen years ago they told a poor young fellow there was no chance in Los An- jreles. and that there were too many haberdashers. But he made a chance. His name was Silverwood. And in those fifteen years he has not only established one successful business, but five; and he's done it all, by hard work, honesty and treating oth- ers as he would expect them to treat him.

consider the question of distributiverates.

The purpose of the meeting was tocall to the attention of the interstatecommerce commission the discrimina-tory nature of rates to be promulgatedunder the ruling in the Spokane case.The Pac.fic coast cities will contendthat the distributive rate is prejudicialto their commercial interests, giving St.Paul, Chicago and other inland citiesan advantage over them.

Mr. Gregson corrected the popularidea that demurrage, amounting to $6a day, would be charged jobbers andshippers for failing to load or unloadcurs. The demurrage act of the legis-

lature, he stated, is intended to preventa car famine, and it is only in anemergency that the demurrage asauthorized by law will be charged. Or-dinarily the demurrage will be $1 a day,as heretofore.

The privilege of charging the maxi-mum rate is intended to expedite trafficand facilitate the movement of cars sothere will not be a congestion of traffic.Mr. Gregson does not look for an ad-vance in demurrage but for a bettermovement of freight, which will be tothe advantage of the shipper.

ARREST LAWYER;FRAUD CHARGED

FORGERY AND PERJURY AREACCUSATIONS

PRISONER SAID TO HAVE AIDED!

GERTRUDE DRIGGS

Name of Late John Charnock Alleged

to Have Been Attached Falsely

to Deeds to SecureProperty

Charles M. Ackerman, an attorney

with offices in the Bullard block, wasarrested yesterday at his home, 531Britannia street, by S. L. Browne, chief

I of the criminal investigation bureau ofthe district attorney's office. He wasarraigned before Justice Ling on twocharges, forgery and perjury, and ow-ing to his inability to furnish bonds of$2500, was placed in the county jail.

Ackerman is charged with abetting| Gertrude Driggs in the alleged forgeryof the name of the late John Charnockto deeds to a large portion of his prop-erty and later filed In the recorder'soffice. The charge of perjury grows outof Ackerman's testimony in JusticeLing's court during the preliminaryexamination of Mrs. Driggs, whose trialon a forgery charge is set for June 21in Judge Willis',court.

The complaint against the attorneywas issued by W. J. Ford, deputy dis-trict attorney, and sworn to by C. R.Smead, executor of Charnock's will andnephew of the deceased.

Ackerman's connection with theDriggs ense has been the subject of anInvestigation beginning more thanthree weeks ago, his testimony duringthe preliminary hearing of the womanbeing of such a nature that the sus-picions of Deputy Ford were arousedthat the full facts concerning his asso-ciation with her as notary and attorneywere concealed.

Claims He Took AcknowledgmentWhile testifying in that examination,

Ackerman said he accompanied Mrs.Driggs to the home of John Charnockearly In March, and as notary took theold man's acknowledgement to his sig-

nature on a deed prepared by Acker-man at request of Mrs. Driggs the day

before.Ackerman said he did not see Char-

nock write his name, but waited on theporch of Charnock's home until he andMrs. Driggs came out, the latter withthe paper in her hand.

The matter was placed in the handsof Mr. Browne about three weeks ago.and the report of his investigation Mlhanded to Deputy Ford yesterday. Init Mr. Browne expresses the belief thatthe attorney has full knowledge andwas cognizant of every step taken by

Mrs. Driggs, and also acted In oon-junctton with her in her alleged effortsto obtain possession of part of the(Jharnock estate.

Following the receipt of the reportAckerman was closeted with DeputyFord for half an hour yesterday fore-noon. Another conference was arrangedfor the early afternoon, but when theappointed time arrived the attorneytelephoned he was prevented from go-.Ing to the district attorney's office, and|another appointment was arranged for

4 o'clock, Ackerman being told If ht;

did not put In an appearance a war-rant for his arrest would be Issued.When he did not appear nt 4:30 o'clockMr Browne went to Ackerman's homeand placed him under arrest.

Ackerman stated later that there wagnothing criminal in his connection withthe Driggs affair.

"I told my story on the witness standin Justice Ling's court." he said, "andwhat I said was the truth. Ifthere hasbeen any forgery I know nothing aboutIt. I have been aware that an investi-gation' was being made, but have feltno fear of the final outcome."

The date for the preliminary examin-ation of Ackerman probably will be settoday by Justice Ling.

GIRL TELLS OFALLEGED ATTACK

COLLAPSES UNDER SEVEREEXAMINATION

AGED MAN ACCUSED Of CRIME

APPEARS INDIFFERENT

Attorney for Real Estate Dealer

Shoulders Blame for Delays in

the Case—To Continue

Today

The preliminary hearing of the caseof B. H. Markham, a Los Angeles realestate dealer, charged with attemptedassault on the person of 11-year-oldEthel Wolfe, after five previous de-lays, was begun yesterday afternoon inPolice Justice Freclorickson's court.At 5:30 o'clock the little girl, who wason the witness stand, collapsed and thehearing was continued until 10 o'clockthis morning.

The court room was filled with acurious crowd when court began at 2o'clock and the greater portion of thosepresent were women. Before the hear,

ing began Attorney Davis for the de-fense addressed the court in regard tothe newspaper criticism that had beenmade on account of the numerous de-lays in the hearing.

Attorney Davis took on his shouldersthe burden of responsibility for thedelays, and said: "I take this occasionto thank the court for Its justice inthis matter. I am proud the Judgehad the honesty and fearlessness todo what Is right. If there is anyblame or fault-finding in the matterI want that blame to fall on my ownshoulders. Kftorts to Incite mob forceshould be denounced In the strongestlanguage "

Court Room ClearedPolice Justice Frederickson replied

he fully understood the situation. At-torney Davis then requested the courtcleared of all but the attorneys, do-fendant, and that each witness be keptfrom the court room until called.

"In vlaw of the article that has ap-peared in a morning paper I also re-quest the newspaper sensation mon-gers be excluded." The room wascleared, much to the disappointmentof the crowd who had anticipatedhearing the testimony.

Charles Oaltnar, 427 Wall street, oneof the men who. It is alleged, inter-cepted Markham at the time of thealleged assault, was the first witnesscalled. He related what happened atKlysi.m park, and told of being at-tracted by screams and of rushing tothe girl's assistance. He was sub-jected to a grueling cross-examination.

William Van Outen. 645 Ceres ave-nue, was next called to the stand, andhis testimony was mostly a corrobora-tion of the story told by Calmar. Ineach case a severe cross-examinationwas given, in an endeavor to shake thetestimony of the witnessee.

Girl Collapses on StandEthel Wolfe, the victim of the al-

leged assault, was brought to thestand, and for more than an hour anda half told the story of her experiencein the park and the treatment she re-ceived at the hands of Markham.Finally, wearying of the severe ques-tioning, the little cirl collapsed andwas carried from the witness stand,her testimony unfinished. Police Jus-tice Frederickson then adjourned thehearing until this morning.

All during the trial the defendant,who gives his age at 65, but who wouldeasily pass for a man of 50, sat stolid-ly looking ahead, and his eyes did notmeet those of his alleged victim.

S. B. Wolfe, father of the little girl,stated after the trial that every pointis being fought so bitterly that he didnot look to see the case finished today.The efforts of the defense were direct-ed to shaking the testimony of thewitnesses of the prosecution, whichmade the hearing tedious.

Attorney H. H. Appel, representingthe Women's Legal Aid society, whichhas become Interested in the case, as-sisted in the prosecution.

Following the completion of the girl'stestimony today Mr. and Mrs. Wolfewill testify and medical testimony willbe introduced to show the condition ofthe girl shortly after the alleged as-sault.

JAPANESE CRUISERSFORMERLY RUSSIAN

WARSHIPS ASO AND SOYA TOBE AT A. Y. P. FAIR

Vessels of Asiatic Navy Were Cap-tured During War and Sunk, Af-

terward Being Salved byTheir Victors

During the Alaska-Yukon-Paclfle ex-

position in Seattle the Japanese gov-ernment will be represented by the two

cruisers of the Imperial navy, the Soya

and Aso. These vessels will be present

at the opening on the first day of June.

Both vessels possess peculiar interest,

as they were at one time under the flag

of Russia, and it was against theirsides the flrst shots in the Russo-Japan war were directed.

At the opening of the late war theRussian cruisers Koreetz and Varyag

were in the harbor of Chemulpoo. Warbetween the two nations had been im-minent for some time, but so far as wasknown no formal declaration had beenmade. A formidable Japanese fleet ap-peared one morning and a demand forthe immediate surrender of the shipswas asked;, this request was denied by

the Russian commander, and in theface of superior strength the two cruis-ers sailed out of the 'harbor of Che-mulpo and engaged in the (irst battleof the war.

The fight was one marked by un-usual bravery on the part of the Rus-sian commander, but there could only

be one result. In less than an hourfrom the. time of steaming out to battleboth ships staggered back, their decksstrewn with dead and seriously

wounded above and below the waterline. A short time after coming toanchorage both ships sank.

The Koreetz and Varyag were after-ward salved by the successful nation,and under the names of Soya and Asonow form part of the navy of Japan.

CHILDREN EXHIBITTHEIR HANDICRAFT

SENTOUS SCHOOL HOLDS ITSANNUALDISPLAY

Building Thronged with Parents andFriends to Witness Progress Made

by Pupils In PracticalThings

Sentous school was thronged yester-day afternoon with parents and friendsof the public to witness the annualexhibition of the work done by thechildren who attend that school.

The rooms Trom the kindergarten to, the eighth grade were decorated In anartistic manner and from the walls ofthe kindergarten branch depended thosmiling faces of paper Chinese, and on

1 tables were created block houses which, the boys had built "in a day." In

some of the rooms hammocks, thework of the children of the first and

: second grades, were swung and in thesecomfortable reclining vehicles wasplaced many a Teddy bear and treas-

-1 ured dolly. By the older pupils weredisplayed cardboard sloyd models Infinished letter cases, portfolios andbook covers.

Maps and drawings on walls gaveI evidence that while the children sing; "I love thy rocks and rills," they have

a fairly accurate Idea of the geographyand topography of thoso same rockaand rills, as well as many foreignplaces.

There were also numerous originaldesigns in book covers and posters andmany remarkably well written speci-mens of fancy penmanship, the workof the grammar grades.

In the large hall, which had beenfestooned and decorated by the olderpupils, were displayed cookery, sewingand sloyd models. On a large table inthe center of the room stood rows ofedibles, and while one felt tempted topartake of these, a sign forbade theirbeing touched by the hands of the spec-tators. All kinds of pastry, preserves,confectionery, salads, entrees androasted meats were shown, testifying:to the thorough instruction the littlehousewives have received.

Among the sewing work displayedwere some really excellent specimens ofneedlework, showing to good advantagewhat the children can do.

In the wood-sloyd work were in-cluded mission tables, hatracks, ink-stands, picture frames, glove boxes,handkerchief cases, clock stands andbookcases. All appeared to be care-fully and skilfully made, and manywere even artistic in finish and de-sign.

Wise TalksBy the "Office Boy"How often do you hear the re-

mark. "If I only had a chance,

but there are no chances now-adays." No chance in a landwhere nobody is held down bycaste; in the country where log-cabin boys and poor boys fromthe farm go to the White House;

in a country with thousands oflibraries, hundreds of thousandsof schools, free night schools,

free educational lectures, freecourses in education in nearly

all the Young Men's Christianassociations; where even boysfrom the slums become our leg-islators, and where the poorestboys become our \u25a0 merchantprinces, our great bankers andfinanciers; where so many busi-ness houses and institutions arebuilt up by boys r.'ith no oppor-tunity except their own energy

and integrity: where brakemenand even section hands becomerailroad presidents; in a landthat has proved innumerabletimes that you cannot keep anenergetic boy back after youhave once given him his alpha-

bet? No chance when history

has proved many thousand timesthe disadvantage of too manyadvantages? Fifteen years agothey told a poor young fellowthere was no chance in Los An-jreles. and that there were toomany haberdashers. But hemade a chance. His name wasSilverwood. And in those fifteenyears he has not only establishedone successful business, but five;and he's done it all, by hardwork, honesty and treating oth-ers as he would expect them totreat him.
