Carpet-CI-eaxer "Exhibit A.' In a
trial before Judge Olwm yesterday after
noon, where the usefulness . of a ratent
carpet-cleaner was called in qurstlon. the
Judge adopted tho Missouri-like query of
"show me." He ordered the cleaner In
que.-tion to be turned loose on the dingy
confines of the judicial carpet. This was
done, and forthwith sundry roses In the
texture of the fabric came from their
..a HoKt-taden obscurity, to
blossom under the magic touch of the In
vln.lble cleaner. In vain the eloquent at
torney for the plaintiff ransacked the
law-books for precedents to confuse the
magisterial mind. In vain with the light
and heavy artillery of forensic pleading
he charged the bulwarks which the hum
ble carpet-cleaner had erected on the
Judli lal conscience, it was a case, analo
gously considered, of "tho proof of the
pudding Is In the eating." The defend
ants attorney. T. J. Gelsler. had only,
like a victorious general, to wave above
his head the Invincible carpet-cleaner,
haloed with the ruddy roses of the erst
while sombre carpet of His Honor's of
fice and the case was won. Judge Olson
decided that the plaintiff. Henry Hill,
who had sued to recover $309 paid on the
carpet-sweeper, had not made out his
case. That he was bound to carry out
his contract for the purchase of the ma
chine, and was In consequence Indebted
to tho defendant In the sum necessary to
fulfil his contract And therefore, by
the dumb eloquence of "exhibit A." the
carpet-cleaner in controversy. Its char
acter as a most useful, though unobtru
sive member of society, was likewise
fully established.

SCHOOL TERM ENDS
Graduation Exercises at High
School Next Week. .
EXAMINATIONS ABOUT OVER
Today Will Se Lst of Testa, and
Teachers Are Already at Work
Marking Papers About 600
Finish Grammar Grade.
Today will see the last of the term's
final examinations In the city high
schools. ' Teachers are already busy
correcting examination papers. These,
with the issue of report cards, regis
tration arrangements, and graduation
exercises will fully occupy next week;
and the new term will begin Monday,
February 8.
The graduation exercises at the West
Side High School will be held next
Wednesday evening. Owing; to the re
arrangement of courses on a uniform
four-year basis, the graduation class Is
a comparatively small one 33 In num
ber. The graduates will be addressed
bv Dr. Benjamin Young, of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church; and the
diplomas will be presented by H. Wit
tenberg, chairman of the School Board.
There will be a violin solo by Miss
Velross Sharp, and vocal music by the
choral societies of the school.
At the East Side High School there
Is a class of 12 to receive diplomas on
Thursday evening. February i. This
is the last of the classes taken In
when the school was first organized.
Future classes will be very much lar
ger, about 60 being expected to gradu
ate In June.
The programme for Thursday evening
Is as follows: Vocal solo. Stuart Mc
Oulre; address, by Dr. Luther R. Dy
ott. of the First Congregational
Church: music by the Girls' Chorus
Club of 150 voices, conducted by Mrs.
Rose Coursen Reed; presentation of
diplomas by H. Wittenberg. The main
floor of the assembly hall will be re
served for the patrons of the school,
the students occupying the gallery.
It Is expected that about 600 pupils
will pass the grammar grades this
term, and that probably about 450 of
these will enter the high schools. The
large Increase In numbers over this
time last year, when 3S0 graduated
from the elementary schools. Is due
partly, of course, to Portland's Increase
of population during the past year, but
perhaps more largely to the fact that
this Is the end of the "three-term
cycle" which allows children of ex
ceptional quickness or application to
cover four terms' work In three terms.
This system Is Intended to save chil
dren from merely "marking time" in
the grades, while at the same time tt
relieves the pressure of numbers in the
elementary schools. .....
To provide for the Increased high
school enrollment, ten extra teachers
have been engaged, and four rooms In
the Hawthorne School and five in the
Shaver School will be assigned to first
year high school pupils. The latter
will form the nucleus of the future
Alblna high school. Besides the stu
dents in these temporary quarters, the
East Side High School will probably
open with an attendance of 1100. and
the West Side High School, with be
tween 700 and 800.
On Monday. February 8. all pupils
will report for registration: courses
will be explained to newcomers and
book lists will be given out. On Tues
day all but the flrat-year pupils will
settle down to the regular work of
the Summer term.

Gadski is not alone the youngest and
freshest of the grand opera stars singing
in concert today; she is also one of the
moet blithe, so radiant Is she in the bloom
of her matchless power for giving pleas
ure. There Is Immediately established
between herself and the audience a spirit
of rapturous enjoyment. Her programmes
contain a greater number and variety of
brilliant and splendid masterpieces from
all schools and ages than are offered by
any other great singer of the day. And
so generous Is she in response to the
wild furore of enthusiasm from the au
dience that she adds encore after encore,
magnificent tours-de-force, which never
leave the slightest shade of weariness In
her voice. She and fatigue are strangers.
Her programme tomorrow at the Hellig.
under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn
Coman. will eclipse in interest any that
has ever before been offered In a Port
land song-recital. English translations of
the songs will appear on the programme,
so that the audience will be able to un
derstand and enjoy to its utmost capac
ity the full beauty of every number. In
