successful session in the history of
the city public schools will bo
drought to close this morning when
the two thousand or more pupils will
gather in their respective class rooms
to receive cards announcing the result
OF their labors during the past nine
months. The final examinations of
the session were finished yesterday
and, while tho complete results for
the session Will not be known until
this morning, the indications are that
the percentage of promotions this
year will be greater than ever before.
The records show that ehis has
been an unusually successful session
for the High School fne total en-
rollment for the year was 166 pupils
as against al In the session of 1906
'O6. and the average daily attendance
showed an increase this session of Is

there will be two graduating classes
from the High School instead of one
as heretofore. The first class will

hold joint commencement exercises.
The school board now has under
consideration a number of improve

the election Of an additional teacher
for each of the several schools, thus
leaving the principal OF each school
free to properly attend to his duties

Toxic, Nov. 30.-Baron Ishii. chief
of the bureau of commerce of the

America and Canada for the purpose
of investigating the immigration prob
lem, arrived in Toxic today and con
ferred with the officials of the for

thorough canvas of the situation for
the coming week. In an interview
Baron Ishii said:
MY visit to America and Canada
convinced me that the opposition to
the japanese is based partly upon race
prejudice. though considerable Of it is

Ors. | found Japanese residents in
America and Canada who resent the
incoming of their countrymen from
the Hawaiian islands and Mexico,
which is disliked. While it s proper
for Japan to conserve the interests of
the Japanese now residing abroad,
many Of whom are prospecting and liv-

ion il will be necessary. i'm order 10
keep absolute faith with the United
States, to prevent immigration Of la

We should send laborers to Canada in
great moderation.
The indications are that the Japan
ese government will give formal but
verbal assurances of a future rigid ex-
clusion of all that can be termed
strictly labor emigration to the United
States, being careful ais in limiting
the number leaving for Canada. IT is
doubtful If these assurances will take
the form Of written notes to either
country. but possibly foreign Minister
Hayashi will make a statement in the
diet.

sensation the gosling had then. He
seemed born for padding. and as he
padded he kept bobbing his head
down into the white substance and
fetching up the most appetiZing
things. Evidently the world had been
made for nothing except gobbling and
padding.
By and by he began to feel tired.
He determined to jump out on the
steps again, but strange to say all his
jumps turned to paddles. He couldn't
seem to get over hard, brown object
next to the steps. He decided to try
no more but just to sit still, so he dou
bled his short legs up under him and
floated. After a while he felt himself
sinking, but he padded twice or thrice
and got up again. Still it was pleas
Lower and lower he sank. Strange
odors floated up around him. Drowsi-

"La!" calculated Mary Ann, and ran
for the shovel.
When she had shoveled him out on
the grass she finished her exclamation.
La! aint that fool goose got no
more sense that to go swimmin' in the
sloD bucket"
"Peep!" replied the gosling, placidly
turning over on the grass in the warm
sun with deliciously filled feeling.

order"
The duke had never been talked to
SO plainly in all his life. For while
he was without voice. but had plenty
Of color. 'It is easily explained" he
finally bawled out to her Her high
ness has eloped."
The girl stared at him with wide
eyes. "Eloped?" she breathed family.
Yes. eloped.'
Betty wondered If she heard Alright,
or If the duke were out of his mind:
and then she recollected her converse
tion with the princess. Her mouth
opened as If to speak, but instead she
closed her lips tightly. That wilful
girl: whatever would become of her!
Give this letter to your mistress"
said the duke to the maid. Il will sta
ton myself in the window while she
reads it."
He strobe over to the window and
drew the curtains about him. Below,
the night crowds were wandering
about the streets; the band was play
ing in the Volksgarten; carriages were
rolling to and from the opera; the
fountain in the center of the square
sparkled merrily in the glare of the
arc lights. But the duke saw none of
these things. Rather he saw the tele-
graphic dispatches flying to the four
ends of the globe, telling the peoples
that he, the Grand Duke of Barscheit
had been outwitted by girl; that the
Princess Hildegarde had eloped with a
| man who was not the chosen one. In
other words, he saw himself laughed
at from one end of the continent to
the other. (There is something very
| funny in domestic troubles when they
occur in another mans familyD No.
the duke saw not the beauty of the
night; instead of stars he saw aster-
isks, that abominable astronomy of
the lampoonists. He had never doubt

hungry ducks. But when it came to
the twin goslings there was only one
Of them. OF course, the different twins
associated together and told each 9TH
er their trials and joys, their fears
and hopes; but the gosling was the
yellow sheep of the family. He knew
no troubles but his own, he wanted
little. and when he found a happy
hunting ground Of bugs he had 1t all to
himself. He had also little habit
Of wabbling in while two chickens

without even so much as reminder
that there no longer existed a cause
:or quarrelling. Others might have
sharp bills to dig and fight. but he
had broad one to grasp and retain.
In his independent, happy-golucky
way he waddled through the world,
making strange friends. and having
ieather-breadth escapes known only to
himself and the Martin family.

"A clew?"
Nothing, nothing; Be gone: you

The minister OF police dashed out of
the room as II pursued by a thousand
devils. He knew the dukes mood; 1t
was not one to cross or irritate. No
sooner was he gone than the duke left
his apartments and sought those of his

no harm to find out positively. But
