Looks Like an Extra Session.
Senators Aldrich and spooner were among
the prominent republicans who called on
the President. Each is afraid that there will
be an extra session Of the Senate for the
handling of the Cuban and canal treaties,
but are confident that all danger Of an ex-
ira session of Congress is passed. as the ap-
preparation bills will be gottens out Of the
way, unless there is some unlocked for
hitch. There is really no reason for an
extra session of the Senate" said Senator
Aldrich, ''but 1t might as we'll be understood
that the treaties are going to be ratified
either before the close of this session or in
an extra session. That Is something there
ties will be ratified" Senator Aldrich, whose
wise leadership is appreciated by the Presi-
dent, was never more positivetin his life.
He feels that the situation issshaping it
self that no blame whatyer for an extra
session Of the Senate will attach to the re-
publican party.

The Little Country School.

Most of us, whose school days are
only recollection, have an affectionate
regard for the little school house where
the teacher takes the ten, fifteen or
perhaps twenty scholars of the district,
and in close personal contact leads
them all the way up to the sixth reader,
and through the several arithmetics,
grammars, biographies and other books,
the mastery of which constitutes COM
mon school education. Our recollec-
tions of those schools rather prejudice
us against the agitation in some To-
calIties for the abolition of the district
schools and the substitution in their
stead of central township school. The
rich people the world over hire private
teachers for their children. They dc
this for many reasons, one of which is
to protect their little ones from the
dangers of contagion and infection in
crowded school rooms. The small
country school is the nearest approach
we have to the rich mans private
tutors. The patrons of the district
schools should be in no hurry to adopt
some new substitute for the little
school house at the cross roads.

Vancouver, b. c., May IA report
has been received here from William
Pearce, inspector Of surveys, and con-
stitutes the latest official news from
Frank: Nov that the excitement is
partially over there is no doubt in the
mind of any enc that the disaster was
caused by huge landslide, and that
there was no eruption nor explosion.
There are eighty-three known dead, of
whom fifteen We're women and fifteen
children.
.There is no further danger from
floods through the damming of the
river. The rock slide is about 1000
feet long, extending from the top of
Turtle mountain westerly. The slide
extends across the valley for one and
one-quarter miles from the base of
Turtle mountain. The debris is spread
out in fan-shaped mass. There is no
trace of the river for one mile, but
the water is now going through the
rock as fast as it is coming down"
Another report from Frank says that
many of the bodies of the dead will
never be found. Some cabins are
buried under $50 feet of rock. Al
though organized efforts We're made to
search for bodies only nineteen have
so far been recovered Most of the
corpses were mangled almost beyond
recognition.

Nina curexsaaaaad Disease.


s1l Il being written and
I nowadays about mind disease,
s0s nather the effect of the mind upon
the health or disease of the body.
There is great deal which can be
truthfully said against the practice of
constantly taking medicine of some
kind.
We extract the following paragraphs
from recent editorial about dopers,
which appeared in the Des Moines
News. "The world is full of dopers-
men and women who imagine that they
are i'll and who are convinced that
constant home treatment with one or
more remedies is as necessary as daily
food.
They actually pet backaches and
headaches and poor digestions and
heart-futters, and seem to get enjoy
ment out of the feeling that they are
worse off than somebody else.
You don't hear many CHEEKY words
from dopers. They couldn't say "good
morning" and put any sunshine into 1t.
They think they are sick, and they are
proud of it. They carry pills in one
pocket and powders in another Give
any one Of them stomach ache, and
appendicitis is written on his brain
in letters of fire.
If you want to be well. be reasonable
in all things and think as little about
your i'll as you can. An unknown dis
ease that exists in the mind only is
more to be dreaded than known dis
ease of the body.
Get all the sunshine you can. Dom t
coop yourself up in the house these
spring days. If tobacco hurts you, stop.
Ii drink hurts you, stop. Feed your
body clean water and clean air; don't
be night owl, walk all you can and try
to get little sunshine inside OF you.
Those things will not cure broken
leg or bubonic plague, but will drive
imaginary ailments to cover and make
you more lovable person and a much
happier one.
Sunshine and light heart combined
maketh fine medicine"
