"Where is it?" asked Mr. Wolf. In
so loud and harsh a voice that Mr. Fox
was frightened to think what would
happen if his plan did not work.
"Don't talk so loud. Mr. Wolf," he
said. "I saw a light In the farmhouse
and heard the dogs barking just as I
ran down the hill, and we do. not want
any of them after us. do we 7"
"Where Is that lamb?" asked old Mr.
Wolf again.
"It 1b Just at the top of the hill In
a barrel; I have a goose and a hen, too,
but 1 know you prefer lamb, Mr. Wolf."
Mr. Wolf bounded toward the bar
rel and Mr. Fox close behind him. and
when Mr. Wolf put his head into the
barrel, Mr. Fox gave him a push and
in he went. It did not take Mr. Fox a
second to start that barrel a-rolllng
down the hill and then to pick up the
goose and hen and run for home.
"Bump-pl-ty bump!" went the bar
rel down the hill over. the rough snow,
and old Mr. Wolf thought the world
must be whirling around, and then
suddenly it stopped rolling and Mr.
wolf got on his feet and crawled out.
Of course, Mr. Fox was nowhere in

tost in his mad dash down the hill or
vhether it was never In,Xhere Mr. Wolf
did not know.
"I wonder." he said at last, "did Mr.
Fox shove that barrel and start it
rolling or did I start it myself in a
hurry to get the lamb. I Just wonder,
and I should like to know for more
than one reason. I'll be sure to ask
Mr. Fox the next time I meet him.
But Mr. Fox did not go that way In

Mrs. George W. McMath, president of
the Oregon Congress of Mothers and
Parent-Teacher Associations, has re
turned from a visit to the country and
to near-by towns, where she went to
confer with leaders in parent-teacher
work. Most of the associations have
been resting this Summer, but some
have done a vast amount of playground
work. Mxs. C. J. Devereaux is pre
paring to take up the work of the so
cial service department, of which she
is the head. The programme for the
state congress convention, to be held
in Hood River In October, is now being
prepared.
The old poople who reside at the
Patton Home were greatly pleased yes
terday, when the Central Women's
Christian Temperance Union gave them
an attractive programme of literary
and musical numbers. Mrs. M. L. T.
Hidden presided and gave a cordial ad
dress of greeting, telling of the work
in the cause of temperance. Mrs. E.
Haiick accompanied two of her pupils.
the Misses Hoffman and Howard, who
sang duets. Mrs. Woodard give a clever
rendition, a musical recitation, "Money
Musk." She wore a gay beruffled
gown, the material of which was over
100 years old. This old-fashioned num
ber was one of the gems that the el
derly folk appreciated. Mrs. Carlson
gave two selections. Mrs. R. L. Ru
dolph arranged the musical numbers.
Mrs. F. N. Diamond gave a talk on
"The Promises of God."
to allow him to enter a. city higH
school. But the little boy failed to
live up to expectations. He happened
to choose the wrong crowd, and he de
veloped a greater fondness for saloons
and cigar stores than for high school.
Mrs. Preston was at once blamed by
the politicians for the boy's mistake,
and she did not disclaim the responsi
bility. Instead she sought about for
another solution of the question of
sural education. Had the boy's failure
come nearer to the end of her first
term the chances of her re-election
would have been slight, but with al
most an entire term before her she
proved her worth and was re-elected.
She abandoned her plan of bringing
country boys to the city for education,
and resolved to bring education to
them where they were. To do this it
was necessary to make the eountrv
schoolhouse a place of such Interest
that boys and girls would want to re
main In school.
In the face of unlimited opposition
she brought to the people in rural dis
tricts the realization that a school
house is a public utility not for use
from six to nine months a year for a
few hours each day, but a meeting
place for all times. Into the boys and
girls she instilled the idea of owner-
ship and so persuaded them to take
hetter care of the buildings.
one maae or every schoolhouse a
public forum for the discussion of pub
lic problems, a clubhouse for women's
societies and a place of frolic for the
younger people outside of school hours.
The buildings have consequently be
come associated in the minds of the
boys and girls with pleasure rather
than toil. Through the community cen
ters of Washington the rural educa
tional problem of the state has been
solved. To guarantee the continuation
of the work she has begun Mrs. Pres
ton has been overwhelmingly chosen
to the highest educational office In the
state.

Mrs. Josephine Corlisa Preston the
Ella Fla&g Young of the Korthwest.
IT is not a simple matter to he ac
cused of a great mistake and not
only keep on and live It down, but
prove to the accusers that It Is them
selves who are at fault. Yet this is
Just what has been done by Mrs.
Josephine Corliss Preston, the Ella
Flagg Young of the Northwest.
The difficulties that Mrs. Preston has
met and conquered since becoming
superintendent of schools in Walla
Walla CCUnty, Washington, 12 years
ago, are those of Ella Flagg Young
multiplied by 10. Her problems, how
ever, proved her worth and. she is now
Superintendent of Public Instruction
for the state of Washington, where
she is still fighting out the never
ending problem of politics and educa
tion.
It sometimes takes a little stumble
to place one's feet more firmly on
surer ground, and that is what hap
pened to Mrs. Preston soon after her
election as county superintendent. The
result has been that every schoolhouse
in Washington is now paying in public
service 100 cents for every dollar In
vested.
A woman In the office of county
superintendent was rare in Washing
ton at the time Mrs. Preston was
chosen, and certain politicians who
would have had it even more so settled
back to watch for the first fnl9e step
upon which they could pounce and
prove the unfitness of a woman for the
position. The step came soon enough.
Mrs. Preston believes in education to
the uttermost, and she believes in giving
to every boy and girl as much of learn
ing as he or she can assimilate. Conse
quently when she found a little coun
try boy who gave more promise than
his follows she persuaded his. parents
Judge Merciful When Erring
Woman Weeps.
First Offender Pleads Cnllty to
Charsre of Vagrraney. but Court Ac
cords Her Another Chance. With
Admonition That She -Not Appear
Again.
I HE stood in the prisoner's box. It
I was clear that she was not an old
offender. The Judge heard as
much from her own lips and her de
meanor showed she . was telling the
truth. She wore a light coat and red
hat. But she was thin, and the lines
of her face displayed worry and suffer
ing beyond her years.
"Your name?" queried .Judge Lang-
guth.
"Mrs. W came from trembling
Hps.
"You are charged with being a vag
rant." said Judge Langguth. "Are you
guilty or not guilty?
Guilty, was the thln-volced an
swer.
"What is your occupation?" was the
next question the Judge asked.
I do sewing and housework," she did
not hesitate to reply.
Are you divorced?
"No." came her quivering answer.
"Do you think this woman is worth
another chance?" asked the Judge of
the officer who had. arrested her. The
officer, seeing that the woman he had
arrested was a stranger in a morals
court, quickly agreed.
"Do you know what happens when a
woman is convicted of vagrancy?
asked Judge Langguth. "It means that
self-respect has gone; that treatment
worse than a dog, would receive is the
expected thing. It means that her pic
ture and police reputation will adorn
that walls of the station and that all
the world will know that reputation."
The woman's shoulders shook and.
the tears streamed down her cheeks.
but she controlled herself.
"I am going to continue your sen
tence indefinitely," was Judge Lang-
guth's parting comment, "but If you re
appear for the same or similar offense
we can do little for you."
The thin little woman who had. per
haps, been given a greater share of
abuse than she deserved by an unap-
preciative husband, left the courtroom
with her handkerchief to her face and
her head bowed. She had been a victim
of circumstance. - v

Mr. Fox Meets Mr. Wolf.
IF THERE was one thing Mr. Fox
dreaded It was to meet old Mr. "Wolf,
who lived on the side of the mountain
and who sometimes. In the very cold
est part of the Winter, came down to
the deep woods to see if any of the
smaller animals had an over supply of
food.
Sometimes old Mr. Wolf did not stop
to knock at the door of the deep-wood
animals, hut just broke in the door
and helped himself to anything he
round. Ana he had been known to car
ry off some of the animals unless he
found something which pleased him
more for his dinner or supper.
So the deep-wood animals always
kept their doors and windows well
locked and barred when the weather
became very cold and the snow deep
and hard. But one night, when Mr.
Fox had been over the hill and was
bringing home a goose and a hen. he
saw old Mr. Wolf stalking along the
road and coming straight toward him.
To run would only let old Mr. Wolf
know he was afraid, and besides that,
Mr. Fox did not want to lose the good
breakfast and dinner be had just pro
cured with a great deal of trouble.
He had to think quickly, but Mr.
Fox could do that when he was in a
tight place, so he just glanced about
and set his wits to work to save him
self and his food. Right by the side
of the road he saw. by the bright
moonlight which shone on the snow, a
big barrel, so he ran behind it and put
his goose ana hen on the ground and
then ran down the road to meet old
Mr. Wolf, who was not far away by
this time.
"Good evening, Mr. Wolf." said Mr.
Fox, In his sweetest tones, just as
though he never In his life was afraid
of Mr. Wolf, but all the time Mr. Fox
was trembling in his skin.
"It is a pretty cold night. Isn't It?" he
said. "I am shivering with the cold
and I expect that you are, too. in spite
of the very handsome and warm fur
you wear."
Old Mr. Wolf said he did think It
was a pretty- cold night, but he was
trembling with hunger more than the
cold and the way he looked at Mr. Fox
when he said hunger made Mr. Fox
tremble more than ever.
But he only smiled more sweetly and
said, "How fortunate it is that I met
you, Mr. Wolf, for I have just found
something you will be more ihaa
