Smoking Al schools

According to complaints that have
reached the mothers Of some OF the
school children, there are quite a few
of the lads at the High School who
are in the habit Of bringing their pipes
and cigarettes to school with them,
and Of nonchaiantly putting away dur
ing intermissions. Il Is said that they
not only smoke out on the grounds
In more or less secluded spots, but
that some OF the boys even puff away
in the halls during certain Of the
hours that they are free, The matter
has reached the ears Of members OF
the w G, r. u, and Il may be that
this organization will take some de.
cided steps in relation to the matter.
Tha tsomc Of the boys who attend
the High School carry pipes and
Gigs with them to school Is prob
ably matter easily substantiated, but
that they are in the habit Of smoking
there Is a matter which win probably
come as a surprise to many. It is
also said that even some Of the little

A. ( c. RUNS SPECIAL
Into PORTLAND
THUNDERSTORM BREAK ON
WEST SIDE. NEAR WARREN
TON CAUSES TROUBLE

For the last As hours it has been
known that the tides we're encroach-
ing steadily upon the right Of way Of
the Astoria & Columbia River Rail-
road Company. and yesterday the
weight and wash Of the excessive
food carried out the foundation Of
one Of the west side bridges on that
line about one and half miles this
side Of Warrenton, checking the
movement Of trains and necessitating
the transferring Of passengers 10 and
from the seat Of trouble. The scope
Of the damage is about 100 feet in
width, and includes six or seven bents
Of the bridge in question.
Yesterday afternoons train hence to
Warrenton, Hammond and Fort Ste
vens, was held up at the break and
had to come back to the city with its
passenger as there had been no ar
rangements made for transferring at
that time, the real conditions Of
things not having developed at head
quarters. But as soon as 1t was re-
ported force of nsea we're sent to
the seat Of trouble and the work Of
repair is going steadily on with
speedy adjustment in sight.
The evening train hence TO War
renton and Seaside was sent out on
time and met the up-express from the
coast at the break, where passengers
were transferred and the trains went
their respective ways. The evening
train to Portland was made special
and sent out at about 1000 o'clock,
made up Of the coaches used on the
west side run with one or two extra
coaches from the yards here; SO that
while the service was interrupted for
an hour or two it was not disturbed,
and went into the metropolis just
bit late. No accidents have been re-
ported from the line and as soon as
the water abates at the break the
work Of reconstruction will go for
ward with despatch and things will
be running on schedule again,
The high tides Of the season and the
food waters coming down the Co.
lunlbia, backed by the fierce sou'-
wester Of the past few days are re-
sponsible for the rush and rise Of the
waters all over the lowlands Of the
west side, and have risen higher thap
has been known there for several
years past
Word was received here yesterday
afternoon that several homes on the
eastern suburb Of Warrenton were
all but inundated, Many Of the dikes
are reported broken in that neighbor-
hood and this makes the tide play
havoc with things generally and con
stitutes shallow sea out Of the ter
ritory round about that handsome
little burg,
T'oday's noon flood tide is the high,
est Of the present season and If all
goes well during its run, il is reason
able to hope there viii be no further
trouble over in that country.

Richly Dressed Hostesses-Punish-
 nent for Quarreling.

I have just returned from long visit to Morocco, in a large but har- borless seaport at which my brother trades. was introduced to the gov ernor. I am over 20, and he was cour- teously amazed that,I was still un- married. He told me that the ladies of his harem would be pleased to see me
 So I went upstairs to the women's apartments. My guide was a little black slave with big black eyes. His idea of conducting visitor was to seize her by the dress and drag her violently after him. Breathless we reached the top and I was literally rushed into the presence of four Moorish ladies, dark faced. gorgeously attired and decked with many jewels. TWO of them were handsome-one of these was too fat to move-but two were, to put it mildly, quite plain. But they were all kind and took me in a troop to the governors own room
 IL was a charming apartment, but after the MOorish fashion it. had no furniture except magnificent carpet. numerous cushions and silken wall hangings. As l was a guest I was specially allowed to walk on the car pet in my shoes.
 l was presented to the governors little son. a boy of about :. He was bright and precocious rather than in- telligent, He informed me that he had two mothers. the two handsome women above mentioned
 The real mother. the thin beauty. told me in confidence that she and the other mother were leagued together against the governors remaining wives. The poor creatures have no other oc- equation than to quarrel. l found that they could neither read nor sew: they had scarcely any visitors and never went out
 They were not even allowed the luxury of peeping into the world through q window In fact there were no windows to peep through. The house like. all Moorish abodes. was built round a courtyard; into this leads a long passage from the street and all the doors and lattices open into gal lery which runs round the courtyard. When the governor goes out he locks his wives in.
 We had green lea favored with herbs, our cups, according to Moorish etiquette. being thrice filled. The little boys mother was embarrassing in her attentions She seemed to take a spe- cial fancy to me. She said she wanted me to be always there, and suggested the only means by. which that result could be achieved. She quite seriously proposed that I should marry the gov ernor and join the harem. In the mean time she oveRvhelmed me with ca resses and with paint AIoOrish women simply daub themselves with pigment. l found it impossible to escape theSr attention without promising to call again.
 Accordingly I visited the house again the following week To my as tonishment l Was now welcomed by eight hostesses, The governor had in the interval doubled his harem
