TIIK WHM HOUSEWIFE OF flIHKlKOO.V.
By Sarah Van Husklrk.
A certain prim housewife In Slsklboom
Prided herself on licr dlnlng-rooom
Jlor table-cloths novor wore spotted or mussed,
you could not liavo detected on atom of dust
in cranny or crovlco or chink. 'Twos the most
Sprucely, liopt hall In all Christendom,
And hor curtains woro novor askew.
All lior tidies and rugs woro "Just so."
Tlio scarf on her sideboard was wondrously wlilto;
Tho silver was. always amazingly bright.
Hor collection of dolllos unstained wob n slsht.
And alio had a largo family, too.
Though tho nolghbors in vaguo speculation,
And In onvlous mystification
Conjectured and reasoned and Biirmlscd nnd guessed,
This rlddlo of freshness nnd neatness their best
Kodcavors defined 5 for not ono of them wist
Tlint tho family nto in tho kitchan.

It is a shame to maintain at state e.pHse four state graded schools

In Portland la ono that presents Itself
without argument as ono worthy of
careful consideration. Our plan is
to form n legal entity, giving it power
to levy taxes, condemn land nnd es

leglBlntlvo body is tho only power
that can crcato another body ana
glvo It powor to levy taxes and con
demn land. (
"A quarter-mill tax for tho first
flvo yonrs would bo sufficient, giving
un annual rovenuo for tho play
grounds of $50,000. During tho sec
ond flvo yonrs, a levy of ono-olghth
or a mill would bo enough, nnd dur
ing tho third nvo yoars wo think ono
tonth or a mill would bo sufficient.
"A playground commission should
bo crntod with proper powers, nnd
thon submit tho plan to tho people
for tholr ratification nt tho next elec

Judge Fraier addressed tho dele

room for children of all agos to romp

He cited Instances of gangs or
