Every train reaching Portland ter
minals brings large numbers of those
whose occupation is the gentle task of
teaching the young idea how to shoot.
Hundreds reached the city yesterday
and many hundreds more will come
today and tomorrow, all having for
their objectives the convention of the
National Education Association.
At the Union Depot and at other sta

big hotel will be filled to the last room
with delegates and convention visitors
during the week.
Officers Are Hotel Guests,
Officers, the executive committee and
board of trustees of the association
are guests at the Multnomah, where
suites have been arranged for their
convenience.
Every delegate and visitor who ar
rives, moreover, is made to feel at
home at once -upon appearing and hos
pitality of the city is being made a
factor throughout the arrangements.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho state
headquarters are established on the
mezzanine floor of the hotel on the
west side and the pleasant arrange
ment is an outward sign of the com
plete harmony that has prevailed
throughout the Northwest states in
the campaign for bringing the con
vention to Portland.
The arrangement of headquarters at
the Multnomah is declared by officials
who have arrived to be the best that
has been noted at any of tho previous
conventions.
Estimates of attendance at the con
vention range around the 10,000 mark.

Tuesday and Wednesday. Nearby dele
gations are expected to arrive those
days, while visitors from afar are now
reaching the city in large numbers.
Oregon to Have 150O to 1S0O.
State Superintendent Churchill, of
Oregon, made the following estimate of
attendance from Oregon:
"We shall -have from 600 to 800
teachers in attendance at the National
Education Association from Oregon
outside the city of Portland. Including
the city of Portland. Oregon should
enroll at the meeting from 1500 to 1800
teachers. Of course, we expect a much
larger membership than that, as many
will take, out memberships who will
not be in attendance at the associa
tion." The following delegation will repre
sent the State Normal School of Lew
. iston, Idaho, at the Portland meeting:
Oliver M. Elliott, president; P. E.
Milley, dean of rural department; F. E.
Fowler, head of the English depart
ment; O. M. Osborne, head of the de
partment of agriculture; Margaret
Tyler, head of the department of
science. They will arrive Sunday even
ing. President Elliott says: "We are
expecting a great meeting at Portland."
Attracted by the meeting of the Na
tional Education Association, Rev.
Vaclav Losa, prominent editor of pa
- pers in the Bohemian language, will
arrive In Portland Monday to procure
as much material as possible from the
deliberations of the meeting for his
editorial work.

BT ADDISON BENNETT.
THERE was a great commotion In
the neighborhood of East Twenty
second and Klickitat streets. Two
mothers were running to and fro, seek
ing the whereabouts of their two boys,
Mopsle and Louie, two little play
fellows, who can scarcely articulate
their names, although they each 'fess
up to being almost men, their ages, as
they express it, being 'three, goin" on
four." The neighborhood mentioned is
one of the loveliest in Portland. Beau
tiful dwellings, finely paved streets,
handsome lawns, well-clipped parking
along the sidewalks, roses, roses every
where, and here and there a mulberry
tree, now and then & holly, and in the
backyards cherry trees aflame with
Royal Annes. In the sweet peace of
the July afternoon all was peace and
quiet and harmony until It was dis
covered that two of their offspring
were missing.
An hour, two hours before, the two
little tots were riding up and down
the walks and streets, scurrying across
lawns and parkways on their little
tricycles and discussing affairs of
state, no doubt. Mopsle was telling
Louie what a great soldier his father
had been and was to be; Louie was sure
his own father was a greater man than
any other in the city. They could not
quite agree, therefore, on the relative
merits of their respective fathers, but
they were in accord on one subject
on two. in fact. The first was that it
was warm; the second that they -wanted
some ice cream. Their thoughts were
as one on those two questions. But
they had no cash and they were not
quite sure it would be to their best in
terests to call upon their mothers, or
either of them.
"I bet," said Mopsie, "if my papa was
home we could have ice cream, and
cakes, too. But he's away, shooting the
Germans, and here we be without any
money to buy Jes' a few ice cream
ones."
"Tell you what less do," spoke up
Ixuie. "Less go over to the place
where my papa sets in his office and
get some money from him. I know
he's got money and I know he'll give
it to us, for he is Jess on of the bestest
papas what ever was."
"Gee," replied Mopsle, "that would

be great, if we could only find the
way; but we might get losted.
"Losted!" said Louie; "losted, when
I've been over to town lots and lots'
of times with my papa and with my
mama, too? You're Jess a "fraid cat
an' das'nt go feard your mama will find
it out."
"I ain't neither; I ain't no 'fraid cat,
and if you'll start I'll toiler right be
hind you, for 1 don't know the way,"
replied Mopsie.
It Is two miles or more from Klicki
tatyand East Twenty-second streets to
the 'Imperial Hotel, and Louie was sure
his papa's office was "Jess across the
street from 'Perlal Hotel. Two miles
on a hot day over streets never before
passed through save in streetcar or
auto, pedaling a little tricycle that you
could almost put in your overcoat
pocket that was something of a prob
lem for the two little midgets. But
they pedaled and pedaled; then they
got off and trundled the machines and
walked, but always with their faces
toward papa's office, toward ice cream
cones and candy.-
The shadows were lengthening, even
ing was approaching and the excite
ment around the neighborhood of
Klickitat and Twenty-second streets
was intensifying. After searching the
entire neighborhood the anxious
mothers finally reported the case to the
police and to Louie's father. It waa
nearly time for him to quit his office
for the day when the message came
that the tots were lost, so he instantly
closed his desk and prepared to go
home and take up the search for the
lost ones when in stepped Mopsie and
Louie, and before the father could say
a word Louie said: "Papa, Mopsie an1
me wants some ice cream cones an'
some candy."
How did they find their way? Over
which bridge did they cross? How was
it that they made the trip in safety
through the busy streets on their little
tricycles? Angels! It must be it was
the angels, guided by our Heavenly
Father, for the safe passage of Mopsie
and Louie over those two miles never
trodden or biked by them before was
as great a feat aa the ride of Paul
Revere.
