I School Notes 3
Behold! As you eater the third
I room after coiling from] outdoors
I where the sun hag been shining all
I day you find yourself facing a bor
jder of little boys holding umbrel
| las to shelter them from the rain.
The third room have drawings of
South America and displays of com
positions on "The Birthday of
George Washington" on the board
made for this purpose. Theee draw
ings and compositions are very
good and deserve much praise.
Friday 20, the eighth grade Do
mestic Science class had' many hints
and quotations on, "home decora
tions." They read from books
on this and when thru reading each
girl went to the board and drew a
picture of a mantle with so many
things on it. If the girls remember
what they, loaned when young, they
will have charming homes when
older. I .
The flowers planted two weeks
ago by room four are growing well
and all of them are above the
ground. At the present rate of
growing we wlU have flowers in
no time. The plants Bent by! the
Parent-Teacher Association of Se
attle are keeping well. The narcis
sus are a mass of bloom and are
going from room to room, so that
no part of the 6ohool will misfl see
| lng the early flowers. .
The fourth room entertained last
Fridav morning assembly ■with a
fine Hawaiian musical program.
Th0 pro grain, surrounded by
a very pretty and original Ha
waiian landscape, was printed on
the board. The program opened
with, a piano solo,, Alohp Oe by
Ruth Pedersen. The second num
ber was a song by a quartet,
Verne Miller, Etta Sundeem, Birdie
Selmer and Madeline Foster. The
third was another song, She San
Aloho to Me, by the same quartet.
Theu came successively, a piano
solo, Hawaiian Dreams, by Verne
Miller, and the two songs, Fair
Hawaii and Aloho Oe, by the
quartet, The program waB very
good and received much applause
from the rest of the school.
ELLEN'S TRYING POSITION
The position which Ellen now
faced was indeed very trying. Sir
Roderick was a distant cousin of
Ellen'3 and was a member of the
Alpine Clan. Roderick had dis
graced his family by murdering
and was therefore called the "black
sheep of the family." But ■yve
know that no matter how bad a
person has been there is always
some good to b0 found. So there
was with Roderick. Some time be
fore ho had saved Ellen's father
from great danger.
Malcolm Graeme was really El
len's lover. He was a man of noble
character, chivalrous and always
ready to help anyone. To add to
this Malcolm was a splendid hunter.
What, was left now for Ellen to
decide was this: To take Roderick
who was the black sheep of the fam
ily, whom she really did not love
and whom Ellen had said ahe
would not marry, but whom she
thought she °wed something to for
savijng her father, or to marry Mal
com Graeme who was really her
lover and who had done nothing to
make her ashamed.

THE LEGEND OF FACE MT.
Thousands of years ago, la the
time of tlie giants there was a Jew,
living iu Jerusalem, who' was sent
out c' his country because he had
committed a crime against his ruler.
He was commanded not to return
until he had found a lamd ricth with
gold, and had brought back a chunk
as biir as his head. One of the con
ditions was that he must not sleep
until he had returned to his coun
try with the gold.
The poor Jew wamdered ftll over
the earth—where it w®« so hot that
he nearly baked and again into the
far north where it was 90 cold that
be almost froze to death. At last
he arrived in Alaska, and then in
Skagway. He looked sn the trees
for cold—he looked in the rivers,
but none could he find. He walk
ed to the top of a hill, greatly dis
couraged. Far across the sea, he
saw his native land. Hg was still
determined *o find the gold.
* Being tired the Jew stumbled ajad:
THRUST THE LAW ASIDE.
Cromwoll Had His Own Views on
Rights of an Embassy.
Nowadays the invasion of a foreign
embassy would be a serious matter,
but In tlie days when Oliver Cromwell
was lord protector of England there
was no flue discrimination to favor
members of nn embassy. When such
members committed crimes against the
law of tiie land tbe.v were held to the
same accountability as though they had
been natives.
So it was that on July 10, 1653, Don
Pantaleon Sit, a Portuguese nobleman,
brother of the ambassador from that
country to England and a knight of
Malta, wns beheaded on T#wer hill,
lie had killed an Englishman, mistak
ing him for another. The Portuguese
took refuge with his brother, the am
bassador, who claimed that by the law
of nations his Lou: e was an inviolable
sanctuary for all his countrymen.
Cromwell sent a messenger to state
that If the criminal was not given up
to the civil authorities the soldiers
would be withdrawn from guarding
the embassy and the mob left to do as
It pleased. Every effort was made by
the Portuguese and other ambassadors
to save Don Pantaleon's life, but with
out avail. Cromwell made no other re
ply than, "Blood lias been shed, and
Justice must be satisfied."—Indianapo

Mud Reads of Manchuria.
Northern Manchuria possesses no
roads, as tliey are known in this coun
try— that Is, "made" roads. However,
there are fairly well detined routes
through the country from village to
village by which the trade carts travel
From April to Novcuiiwr these so call
ed roads arc practically Impassible,
sometimes even for men on horseback,
owing to the peculiar qualities of the
Mani'hurinn mud. mid in this part of
the ,\ ear nearly all traffic moves by
water. For this reason most of the
tuhabilants and uearly all the impor
tant towns and villages In northern
Manchuria ure found beside the large
rivers and their more important trib
utaries. The autumn and winter, how
ever. when the ground is frozen, are
the seasons for moving the great bean
and grain harvests Then the land
routes are congested with counties*
thousands of Chinese I wo wneeiet
carts, drawn by throe to nine ponies,
tliree abreast, taking the products of
the farms to ilarbiu and returning to
the villages with kerosene, piece goods
and articles of metal manufacture.
Lightning Conductors.
It is a popular fallacy that a light
ning conductor on a steeple or chimney
acts by carrying I lie lightning to the
earth. It would, of course, be com
pletely fused by such a happening.
The fac( is that the couductor, so
callcd, ought to be called a lightning
reducer, or a lightning neutralizes er
something like I hat, for Its purpose Is,
by forming an easy channel for the
electricity of the earth to Join the
electricity of the clouds above, to re
duce their tendency to do this In a vlo
leut hurry.
Have you ever watched a drop of
water accumulate until It Is too heavy
to hold up longer? Splash It goesl
That's what happens in the clouds.
There Is a big drop of lightning accu
mulating up above, and when it is too
big to hold It comes down splash!
The couductor acts as though a
thirsty breeze w ere to blow on the
drop and prevent it getting heavier
and eventually dropping.-Tearson's.
The Pilgrimage Steps.
After a Journey of eight days on the
back of a camel from Port Said, the
tourist finds himself at the end of his
sight seeing Jaunt through Sinai, fac
ing the Stone Gate, halfway to the
summit
Only two routes lead up the preclpi
tous mountain side from St. Catharine's
monastery, and one Is unfinished and
seldom attempted by any but the sure
footed rSedoulns.
The other is via that Pilgrimage
Steps, said to have been constructed
by the Empress Helena. The steps are
3,000 In number and lead from a side
portal in the wall of the convent A
small chapel and a mosque ure situ
ated on the plateau at the summit of
Mount Sinai. The view obtained is
wild and imposing. Under certain con
ditions the lied sea and the bay of
A.kaba are visible.
as he fell kicked part of the
mountain aside. Much to hip Joy
he found that he wag in a bed of
gold. He lifted a number of chunks,
and put them in a pile on the
ground. Of course he must not
sleep, even, though he had found
the gold, but he could rest a little.
His massive head sank back until it
rested on the pile of gold. He lay
stretchod ou the hill sound asleep
covering the richest gold mine in
the world. Then a fairy who had
followed him, covered in her invis
ible cloak, pulled it off and Baid,
"He has broken his promise by go
ing to sleep. He shall never awake
until some one is strong enough
to lift his head and take the gold
away. .Then he will awaken to be
ruler of the new land in which
he will have slept so long. Draw
ing her cloak around her, she waj
off to tell the ruler of his failure.
So, the Wandering Jew has slept;
aiways greatly admired by the peo
ple of the land. Some day some
greaj Alaskan will be strong enougl
to lift his bead, and then the
' wealth of gold will be his. i !
