PORTLAND. Aug. 19.-In Lookout,
skagit county, Wash. live four boys
and five girls who have quite the right
spirit, and a teacher who is decidedly
the right sort. This combination re-
suited the other day in the visit of the
nine and their teacher to the Lewis
and Clark exposition, and the story
of how they came to see the fair is in
teresting
1t is a story of a seven months strug-
gle on the part of the plucky little band
to get together sufficient mony to pay
the expenses of the trip to the western
worlds fair and the story reads like
q romance.
IT went to Bellingham last January
and while there 1 heard everybody talk
ing about the Lewis and Clark fair, !"
explained Miss Clara vinup, the teach
er and captain of the plucky nine, land
1 thought how nice 1t would be if the
children could go. and when 1 told
them what 1 had heard about the fair
they wanted to go and so we just de-
cided to go, didn't we, children?"
The nine grinned and said "Yes'm,"
respectfully, but contributed no details.
Later in the day Arthur Strofield, aged
a. who has the distinction of being
president of his class was corralled
on the upper balcony of the Washing
ton state building and he told more.
Arthur was the best student in the
eighth grade at Lookout
How did you earn this money? Tell
me about it,
The president of the Lookout eighth
grade squirmed uneasily and seemed
10th to speak. Finally he said, lacon-
fcally, Lots of ways"
''You gave a play, didn't you?'
'Uh-huh."
"Was it good play?"
''Uh-huh; pretty good. 1t was called
Down by the Sea-.
How many times did you give it?"
"Five times. That is, five times for
money, and then once more for moth
ing. because first time we didn't get
1t good"
The play. according to the president
of the eighth rade and Miss Vinup,
netted fifteen to twenty dollars each
time it was presented. The whole nine
took part in it. Miss Vinup was rather
proud of the play, but Arthur did not
enthuse. Boys of fourteen generally

kinu Edwards Wit

The king has a ready wit, which flashes
out spontaneously to the delight of any
company he may be in, says Scottish
American. One of his most brilliant re-
parties was to a famous French actress,
who, struck by his charming good humor,
remarked
Sire, you should come to Paris to make
royalty popular"
Madame" replied King Edward, in
French, they use up their kings too
quickly in your country"
On another occasion someone was quot
ing Arthur Roberts song, I'VE are n
happy family, we are, we are we are"
when the king, without a woment' s
thought, replied with the happy parody:
We are royal family, V. R., v. r ,
W r."

do not go in very strong for dramat-
les. Arthur calls the play show
The Lookout nine have a yell, which
appears on the front of a cook book
published by them, and runs thus:
Who are we?
Sakes alive,
Lookout! Lookout!
Nineteen-five.
The cook book was Miss Vinup's
idea and it was profitable one. 1t is
dedicated to "Our Most Highly Es
teemed and Beloved County Superin-
tendent, ]. Guy Lowman." Some
verses entitled Going to Portland?"
explain the reason for it's publication.
The first runs as follows:
Going to Portland? Well, guess so!
Going to see the big. grand fair
Raising the money now to go on,
And we'll spend 1t while we're there,
Picking up junk, and washing dishes,
Carrying mail, the pennies to earn,
Selling cook books and playing dramas;
But we're going to Portland to see and
learn.
The cook book sold for twenty-five
cents a copy. The cost of publication
was paid by advertisements solicited by
the boys and girls from the merchants
of Bellingham, twelve miles from
Lookout, so that every sale meant 25
cents added to the fund. The recipes
contained in the book were furnished
by the boys and girls and their par
ents and friends Grover Walker, the
treasurer of the class, contributed
recipe for meat croquettes. and Edith
Mcleod added a rule for making
chicken salad, and another for lemon
custard pie, while recipe entitled
"Dumplings, (will not fall.)" bears the
signature of Cressa Abbey, another
member of the class. The housewives

A MODEL LAUNDRY.
Where Girls Haze Short Hours,
Rest Room and Social Secretary.

The wrongs of laundry workers in New-York
and elsewhere have attracted considerable at
tention since the laundries were investigated by
the 'Women's Municipal League and the Wom-
ems Trade Union league, but the fact that there
is one absolutely model laundry in New-York
has heretofore escaped notice.
Between sixty and eighty young women are
employed there and a social secretary is
ployed to look after their welfare They have
a restaurant. library and a rest room. COM
forta bly, furnished with easy chairs and couches
and piano. The rest room is used not only at
noon, but during the dav. whenever the workers
have a few spare minutes If the starched
clothes are not ready at a certain time. for
instance. the starchers are idle and at such
times they quite at liberty TO run UP to the
rest room and throw themselves on the couches
for few minutes.
The girls take turns in getting the luncheon,
and on hot days they all contribute five cents
for ice cream, which the social secretary orders
wholesale. In this way they get much
for a nickel they would get for % cents if
they bought it in a restaurant. At 9 o'clock in
the morning the mana cement serves cup Of
coffee to all the workers. This is done because
the girls used TO faint at their work. and it was
found that on account of the early hour at which
they had to begin they were able to eat little
no breakfast.
The hours at the laundry are only nine and
a quarter. and it pays out a larger percent Of
its earnings in wages than any other in the
city. 1t is always closed on Rolidays. and the
proprietor says that if eight hour law is
ever passed he Will guarantee TO get his work
done in seven and one-half He thinks that his
business methods pay and his opinion seemed
TO be confirmed by the way things went at the
laundry when he was kept away from II re-
Gently by illness. The employees worked harder
than ever in his absence and the work
turned out more promptly than usual
The social secretary has organized several
clubs and mutual aid movements among the
employees. One committee looks after the sick
and another raised the money which purchased
the piano. There is also a committee whose
business it is to select a motto for each day.
This is often done in schools, but probably
one ever thought Of doing II in a laundry be-
fore
At noon ten minute Ia ks often given IN
the rest room, and the girls so interested in
them that they sometimes say they would be
willing TO give up their whole noon hour TO
them.
