HIGH SCHOOL ho1ES
BY !.
Agnes Bailey.

The girls who intend to play
basketball had a meeting Tuesday
evening after school to decide
upon their suits. The matter was
not settled as everyone had
different opinion upon the sub
ject. Wednesday night they de-
cided by vote to have MILDLY
suits of dark blue.
Rev. j. A. Peake called on us
Wednesday afternoon and gave
us an interesting talk.
Mr.. Hansen is attempting to
teach us to write correctly and
he has as much trouble as if we
were first graders.
The Fourth year English class
all flunked on one question We'd
nesday. Miss Skinner doesn't t re-
alize it but it was because the
lesson was SO long that we
could not get it all into our
heads at one time.
The Vergil class has plodded
through "Liber L. Of the "Ae-
neid." We like the story but
would certainly appreciate it more
if Vergil had put it into PLAIN
English.
There is at least one member
of the High school Cloud may her
praises be sung! who does not
violate the commandment "Thou
shalt march up stairs in single
file and shalt not whisper to thy
neighbor. - She is the only stu
dent who goes up to Room IA
al 3 p. M. and she just naturally
walks in single file and doesn t
whisper.
Mr.. Hansen has solved the "ex
c,lse problem at least to his own
satisfaction. The student who
does not bring his excuse imme-
diately after his absence is not
allowed to attend classes and he
loses five in department every
session until he brings it.
Thursday was a fair day, judg-
ing by the High school weather
reports for CnJy one ease OF alb
sence was reported.
The Third year English class
is reading Macbeth. -

bad WRECK
NEAR WEISER
Two Men Killed And Two Seri-
ously Injured in a Wreck on
The o. s. L. Wednesday.

The worst wreck the Oregon
Short Line has had in several
years occurred at Crystal, six
miles east of Weiser, early We'd
nesday morning. A west bound
freight train ran into an east
freight as the latter was pulling
onto siding. Fireman w. j.
Kelley and Brakeman Synhorst
OF the west bound train were
killed and Engineer Edward Eel
sted of the west bound train and
Charles Pfersich, an emigrant
from Washington on the east
bound train, were injured.
According to witnesses, the
west train was going at high
rate of speed and struck the 9th
er train when all but three cars
and the caboose had passed onto
the side track. The trackage
was torn up for several yards
and the west bound train rolled
down the embankment, pinning
Kelley; Synhorst beneath it and
hurting Engineer Felsted clear Of
the wreck and into d gully.
One Of the ears struck was oc-
cupied by Pfersich who was TAX
ing six horses and his household
goods to Bull. This car was com
pletely destroyed and Pfersich
was but slightly hurt while the
horses escaped without injury.
His escape is considered wonder
full.
Messages were quickly sent to
Glenns Ferry and Weiser and the
wrecking train with physicians
and workers was rushed to the
scene. Kelley and Synhorst could
be seen under the steaming wreck
of the engine, but when they
Were reached, Kelley was dead.
Futile efforts were made to re-
lease Synhorst who died before
the arrival Of the wrecking train.
An inquest was held at Weiser
Thursday and the verdict return
ed by the Coroner's jury was
shat Fireman, w. j. Kelley and
Brakeman William Synhorst came
20 their death through their own
carelessness in failing to heed the
block signal which showed that
another train was on the track.
Engineer Felsted stated that he
had left the engine in charge of
Kelley and gone out on the run
ming board to fix the injector
where he was when the shock of
the impact occurred. Kelley was
known as one of the best men on
the road and had been working
with engineer Felsted long
time. How he came to miss see
ing the other train and overlook
ed the block signal is a mystery
that cannot be explained.

The Book of Shapes
Delighted Her.

In the now fashionable Hillside
section Of Waterbury, Connect
icut, is little gray-green house,
with green blinds at the windows
and green blinds folding before
the front door. In the yard, old
fashioned flowers crowd close
to the gray green picket fence.
1t is more than fifty years ago
that the old lady who lives here
came to this house a bride.
There used to be many little
dresses and pinafores and little
white things for her to make, and
she remembers once, as she was
getting supper, when the gate
latch clicked quickly and her
young husbands s step sounded
eagerly on the porch and through
the front room: "There," he said
throwing a magazine on the din
ing-room table and encircling hel
waist, GIVE brought you book
of shapes.
THAT s what he would always
call them, she says with a little
laugh.
The book of shapes was De-
lineator of 1871. He had found
it at Patterns book store, where
he used to stop for the few scien-
tific books in which he sometimes
indulged. The next day she sent
to New York for her first Butter
ick pattern. Afterward, she
could buy them of Miss Grogan,
who made hoop-skirts and sold
notions at the little store next to
the pin factory on Main Street.
The patterns were a great help.
She made his shirts by them, too,
and they fitted so much better,
he said, than when she used to
fashion the neck by cutting round
saucer laid on the cloth.
One of the early patterns, pur-
chased, she thinks, about 1872,
she has yet. 1t is laid away
along with her blue silk we'd
ding-gown and little lavender
sprigged dress the first baby wore
The printed directions on the out
side state that it is g for water
proof cloak for a little girl aged
about nine" She made two OF
the small water-proOfs, one for
Margaret and one for Lizzie to
wear to school, so that the little
things might be all covered over
from the storms. And the capes
were scalloped all around and
lined with scarlet flannel, pink
ed' absut the edges.-The De
lineator for December.
