A Successful Year.

Weston Normal has made eXcep-
tional progress during the past year.
and being the only state school in east
ern oregon, Colonel Hofer feels that
II should have the most earnest sup
port of this entire section of the state.
The school shows a fine attendance
during the past year, the number en-
rolled in the training department be-
ing 149 and In the normal department
1913. This far exceeds the enrolment
OF any of the other normal schools
The total enrolment of the four
normals during the past year was 4S3
IN the normal department and $50 in
the training department. All of the
schools have shown progress but the
Weston school has made marked ad-
vancement and the board is especially
pleased with the work done here.
President French will ask for funds
with which to construct new dormi-
tories and for new buildings for the
training department and 1t is believed
that the next legislature will grant the
requests for aid for the Weston
school since 1t must supply the vast
territory of $4,000 square miles in ex-
tent east of the Cascade mountains.
The new normal board of which
Colonel Hofer is member, has sys-
tematized the management of the nor
mai schools until now they are all on
business basis. Every cent of money
taken in by the schools is accounted
for and all accounts are kept in an
orderly and systematic manner by the
secretary of the board.
The fees from the four normals will
amount to about $4,000 for the pres
ent year, and this sum will go a long
way toward supporting the schools.
Colonel Hofer declares that eastern
Oregon should furnish 500 students to
the Weston school and If this is done,
the income from dormtiory rents will
make it self-supporting.
An active campaign will be made
throughout eastern oregon for stu
dents during the vacation. President
French will go out personally into the
different counties and make vigor-
Gus campaign and 1t is hoped to open
the next school year with the largest
attendance on record.

FAMILIAR1TY BREEDS SUCCESS.

In perusing one of our country
exchanges the other night, we came
upon this story, which is worthy
of another boost on it's around
the-world travels:
AN exchange says colored
citizen was brought before police
judge, charged with stealing chick
ems. He pleaded guilty and re-
ceived sentence, when the Judge
asked him how he had managed to
lift those chickens right under the
window of The owners house when
there was dog loose in the yard.
Hit wouldn't be no use, Judge,
said the negro, ito try to 'splain
dis thing to yo' all. Efyo' was to
understand it, yo' like as Lot
would git your hide full of shot
and not git no chickens nuther.
Eff yo' want to engage in any ras-
.cality, yo' better stick to de bench,
whar yo' is familiar.

STERLING ADVICE.

To 9 great extent the celibacy
of our young men is owing TO the
way in which girls are brought up.
Through mistaken kindness, moth
ers often themselves do what they
ought to make their daughters do.
Let them teach housekeeping on q
fixed methodical plan, and they
will then learn their history,
French and music all the better.
1t is natural and rights that q
mother should wish to see her
daughter we'll educated, and even
highly accomplished; and it is a
mistake that good and careful edu-
cation should unfit a girl for the
homely duties of cooking. busting
and general homework. On the
contrary, those duties would be
better performed if mothers would
at the same time that they seek
talented instructors for their
daughters, impart TO them some of
their own culinary talent; there
would be more good wives and
marriages. Little girls should be
taught, as early as possible, to
perform simple household duties
neatly; and as they grow older,
let them become gradually ac-
queinted with the theory of house
keeping In such a manner that,
when they are married, they will
be able to adapt themselves to
their circumstances, and be useful
as well as pleasing companions to
their husbands.

While the plot is not complicated, it is

HIS DINNERS Worth.

A hotel proprietor III Kansas
City once told of an amusing in
cident connected with the stay at
his house of a rural politician Of
Missouri, says Harper's Weekly
The politician had come TO the
hotel for but one day, and he had
taken his dinner elsewhere with a
friend. When, on coming to pay
his bill, he found himself charged
with days board, dinner and all !,
he protested vigorously. It was
explained to him that the Ameri-
can plan was based strictly on
time, and that if he chose to eat
elsewhere it was his own lookout.
The man, however. refused to be
pacified, and paid the bill under
protest. Then, to every ones
surprise, he asked, us dinner still
on?" Upon being informed that
it lasted until 8 in the evening, he
exclaimed
"I've eaten one dinner, but l IN
going TO get my moneys worth
out of this house if | suffer all the
torments of dyspepsia"
He then rushed into one of the
dining rooms, seized bill of fare,
and ordered everything he could
think of. When he finally reached
his limit, the waiter handed him
q check for $S.35
What's that for?" he de.
handed.
Your dinner, sir. F."
"But I have already paid for
my dinner in my bill, protested
the unfortunate man. II am stay
ing here on the American plan. ;"
Then you should have gone
into the other dining room," said
the waiter. "This is the European
plan cafe. "

given away his property there and
gone to live elsewhere, giving as
his reason that he considered that

the saloons out, is al encroach-

Where Bees Hold Fillmore Street

IF you walk down the east side Of
] Fillmore street. about midway be-
tween Broadway and Vallejo. in its
most aristoeratic neighborhood, you will
see bank of clay sloping upward from
the sidewalk, and If you look close you
will see something that will make you
give that locality a wide berth the next
time you take stroll in that direction.
In other words, unless you avoid that
particular clay bank with care, you are
very likely to get stung, and not in
the slang sense. either: for that clay
bank, innocent looking as it is, har-
bors strong and lively colony OF bum
bic bees of the barb sting variety, and
no resident of Fillmore and Broadway
or Vallejo streets cares to approach 1t
unwarily.
The bank is nearly 80 feet long and
is thickly dotted with small holes which
are the entrances to the honey laden
cones concealed within. At all hours
the little busy bee" is seen coming
and going. buzzing into the holes and
out again, very much concerned about
his work and paying small attention to
an onlooker unless he tempts provi-
dence by too close an approach. One
