dred students enrolled and four capable
teachers at the helm

selves as very well pleased with the
students, and since both teachers and
students are fitting into their work so
admirably they are expecting to do a
very thorough work.
The trustees have installed a new
Smiths sanitary bubbler drinking
fountain which will do away with the
drinking cup and is a welcome addi-
ton.
A new piano has also been purchased
and shipped from Moscow and will be
used in connection with the school work.
The students are paying for the piano
in entertainments and otherwise.
The board has made regulation that
all children under six years of age will
not be permitted to attend, which will
cut out some of the tots which are now
attending. The board is also supply
ing writing materials and the teachers
will emphasize writing and drawing
this year more than ever before.

DOUMECQ NEWS ITEMS.

RUNAWAY AUTOMOBILE.

What might have resulted IN a serious
accident Monday terminated fortunately
for part of the participants at least. A
touring car, carrying nine passengers,
was coming down the White Bird grade,
and just opposite the Buffum ranch the
brake refused to work consequently the
ear was rapidly gaining speed.
Ivan Remington was pulling the
grade, driving a mule team and trailing
a buggy behind. The drivers of the
car called to Mr.. Remington to get out
of the way if he could, the car was be-
yond control. He made the attempt
but failed because of insufficient time.
The car collided with the team and
was stopped, or it and all of the oecu-
pants would have gone over the grade,
as the driver says he could not possibly
have made the turn ahead of them.
A little three year-old child was hurt
by one of the mules when the collision
occurred, but not seriously, the other
passengers escaped without injury, also
Mr.. Remington.

Social Structure.

What is social structure2 1t may
be an ant hill or democracy. 1t Is
usually composed of mass OF ndi-
viduals banded together for mutual
disagreement 1t is centripetal and
centrifugal Each individual would
like to get out of it, but he doesn't
know how. Small masses of individ-
uals, also banded together, would like
to get out of 1t, but they don't know
how. Larger masses of individuals
banded together would like to get rid
of some OF the smaller masses. but
they don't know how. Nobody wants
everybody else to stay Everybody
doesn't want anybody to stay. The
result Is that nobody can get rid OF
anybody.
Hence the social structure.-Lifet

The best way to give good advice is

Sailors as First Lords.

A good many sailors have been first
lords, including Keppel, Spencer. st
Vincent and Barham, but these APP
pointments were all made long ago,
and some of the first lords, though not
always the worst, have been strikingly
unsailorlike in their appearance and
ways. Among these was Lord Gosch-
en-. He used to tell story of how,
when he was appointed, there was a
popular song which bound the singer
to strange happenings should he prove
lnfaithful, and a verse which had an
immense success ran:
= If ever l cease to love
May Mr.. Goschen have a notion
Of the motion of the ocean,
If ever I cease to love.

PORTUGAL.

Five hundred years ago. the span of
a few generations, Portugal was the
greatest maritime power. preceding
Great Britain in that eminence. The
Portuguese first explored the two
coasts of Africa. The Cape of Good
Hope was doubled by Bartholomew
Diaz in 1896 Vasco da Cana reached
India, via Cape of Good Hope, eleven
years later. In 1900 King Emanuel
assembled the throne of Portugal and
assumed the title of lord OF the con-
quest, navigation and commerce of In

that year the Portuguese made settle
