THE POSSIBILITY.
There is none so unfortunate, so far as
AS the poor misguided presidential pos
sibility:
Every fondly cherished secret of his
dim and distant past.
Is dragged forth from Its old hiding
-. place to haunt him to the last:
Enough to all intents and urposes he's
mad Il spOtlesS life,
People hear insiuations when he gets
into the strife.
Some one publishes his letters, every
n he ever wrote:
He's without 81 doubt the fall guy"

He's a public institution and he's mann
pered not a bit,
Hes the target for the paragrapher's
shafts of pungent wit.
Iheres no peace and no concealment
when he gets into the game,
And he suffers all the penalties of tenn
porary fame:
All the vaudeville performers his pet
fads and hobbies poke:
Inc diversion of the moment: he's a
ho"l, a scream, a joke.
Almost everything he's ever done is
deftly twisted round.
TIL it seems to have a very queer and
most suspicious sound;
Many incidents which he had thought
We're passed and gone and dead,
Are revived by weird historians and
heaped pom his head.
Every ~utterance n side remark he
made while yet a child,
is dragged out before the public with
enthusiasm wild.
He is hammered. mauled and o,,es-
toned; he is probed i'm name free.
And they all lambast the presidential
possibility.

School Bonds Sold

The $1,000 bond issue of the Newport
School District, No. 1, of Pend Oreille
county, was sold last Saturday to the
state of Washington. The bonds will
bear interest at the rate of per cent
per annum, and the state defrays all
expenses of preparing the bonds, etc.
There were eight bids received, the
nearest bid to that of that of the state
amounting to an interest rate of 81 per
cent. By putting out this issue the
district saves per cent by retiring out
standing warrants to the sum of $4,000,
which means a saving Of $210 per year.
AS soon as the warrants are called in
and the bonds issued the district will
hold another special election for the
purpose of taking up the remainder of
the outstanding warrants.

According to published interviews
with Spokane lumbermen, the outlook

the industry.

the boys festival which has been hand
the boys festival. which has been
handed down from year to year since
a time that nobody can remember. If
you ask a Japanese father or mother
why they set apart one day in the year
in honor of the boy you will he told IT
is because boys are the gifts of the
gods" Now it is a pretty fine thing TO
have parents think that, and every
Japanese boy has reason to be proud
when the fifth day of May comes
around and all the land unites in cele-
brating the gifts from the gods"
A stranger i'm Japan can always know
when the o Sekku comes around be-
cause ON that day the air is fun of fly
ing fish. No. not real flying fish. but
paper ones. which flap, and twist their
tails from fagpoles over every home
where a boy lives. The paper fish are
made in the shape of. carp, one OF the
commonest fish in Japan. and they are
painted with flashing scales and red
mouths to resemble the real carp. Lit
tie bamboo hoops keep their mouths
open. so that when the wind blows It
nils the bodies of the paper fish and
causes them to twist and squirm in
the most lively fashion.
Every household that numbers boy
or boys among the children displays
the paper fish on its flagpole; one fish
for each son. The youngest son is rep
renented by the biggest fish. and the
paper carp are graded according to the
age of the boys in that household. II
is proud father who on the day OF o
lSekku can look above his ridge pole and
see seven or eight paper fish swim
ming against the wind.
The Japanese say that the carp
swims up the rapids and over water
falls. and that therefore II represents
strength and endurance. So the carp
stands for all that the Japanese par
ent hopes for in his sons.
