fine solfege training, "ghe two
selections sung by the primary
class, were especially pleasing.
In the song, “Tinkle Tinkle Tea
. Cap” the little girls in their
Japanese costumes, presiding
over the dainty tea tables made
an attractive picture, and the
•weet childish voices “tinkled”
merrily to the clotten of the tea
cups. The two “end men”
Masters Henry Wesson and I.

plause for the manner in which
they spelled “T-e-atea.”
The' selections by Misses
Carrie Neal and Nelia Davis
were much enjoyed by their
many admiring friends, the
artistic touch and execution of
these talented young ladies being
more apparent than ever. The
duet by Masters I. B. Baker and
Henry Wesson was heartily en-
cored and much praise is indeed
due the little gentlemen for
tbeir patience and application.
Misses Lucile Moody and Jessie
Baker evinced much talent, and
most careful study, in the ren-

The closing exercises of the
colored high school took place
last week but last night a play
was put on at the city hall* which
concludes the exercises for the
year.
’‘Alvin Grey or the Sailor’s
Return” was the program and
the house was literally packed,
some hundred or more being
white people. The play was en-
joyed by all and the acting of the
little negroes was very credit-
able indeed. Musical numbers,
solos, quartettes, etc., showed
considerable training and the
natural talent of the negro show
ed up in startling reality. The
play was splendidly executed un-
der the leadership of E. A. Mc-
Millan, the principal of the col-
ored schools, each participant
doing well his part. While ex-
tending until almost 12 o’clock
> the affair was never tiresome
and was enjoyed on the whole by
all.
♦ The proceeds are to be used in
school matters and the fund, we
understand, netted fifty odd
dollars.

Thoma* until hl* death. Since than
she has been in business for herself.
To th* question of "What do yon
consider the biggest piece of work yon
have ever donsf Miss Kellogg replied:
"The opening of the Beat* des Baattx
Arts in Paris p» women architects.
When I went to Paris there was just
one atelier where wotoen were re-
ceived. Today conditions are entirely
different
“T don’t care ao much for small
pieces of architectural work.” contin-
ued Mis* Kellogg. “I only do big
things—as. for instance, the American
News company’s new sixteen story
building In San Francisco, which 11 *
successfully built at long distance.
‘There is no reason why a woman
shduld not do as well in architecture
as a man if she is not afraid ofc re-
buffs. Not but what men have beeu ; ■
line to me. for I meet them on equal
lines, but It tai^e* a little time to gain
tbeir confidence."
> To see Miss Kellogg on “her Job" is
a nmqiie experience, even to the lay-
man. For Instatice, sb* has done afl,.
the architectural work for the Amer-
iceu News company throughout the
United States for the past ten .tears.
Which means that she has ISO build-
ings under her charge. At present she .
Is renovating six old buildings for this
company in New York and also erect-
ing a new one. Every morning at 9
o'clock Miss Kellogg appears on the
scene and tripe lightly up six or seven
flights of stairs to superintend her
workingmen. She runs up and down
unfinished stairs, scales ladders to see
how new roof* are coming on and trip*
lightly across yawning beams that are
open to the first floor. A short skirt,
stoat high boots and well poised nerves
are her equipment, and when teilt B
around everything moves.
Rhe knows every detail of her pro-
fession. construction, the theory and
practical knowledge of plumbing, beat-
ing. electricity afid ventilation. Then,
too, she is acquainted with all her con-
tractors, foremen and plumbers, and a*

thing." and he added. "She is tbs most
thorough man 1 ever met in architec-
tural work."
Mr Louis Henjshelm, the structural
iron contractor, who has been accus-
tomed to working with women archi-
tects in Europe, says that Mias Kel-
logg is “more attentive to business
than any man I know."

Railroad to Cuttlvato Thom to Protect
Passongert From Dust.
To save M0,000 in wages and at the
same time control to some extent tl>*
dust which trouble* traveler* is .the
plan of General Superintendent Buck-
ley of the Oregon Railroad and Navi-
gation company, who this year pro-
poses to allow weed* to grow along
the tracks wherever it is possible. In-
stead of keeping the track dear of
weeds by cutting them with shovels,
the section men are instructed to allow
them to grow, keeping them trimmed
close to the rail* that they may not
tqme in contact with the wheels of
car* and cause trouble.
It Is estimated that tbe company
apends 140,000 each year in cutting
weeds and Incidentally keeping tbe
soil worked so that winds catch tbe
duet, and during hot weather enough
of it far carried along the rapidly mov-
ing train* to almost strangle tbe pas-
sengers, says a Walla walla (Wash.*
correspondent of the Spokane Review.
Wherever weeds have been allowed tn
grow dust has never troubled, and this
fact has caused Mr. Buckley to try
the experiment of allowing weed* and
grass to cover the ties, especially the
soil at tbe ends of the ties outside the
rails.
The company is now figuring on sow-
ing a short, thick grass on the Une to
form a mass of roots to prevent the
dust from raising, ft is said that some
heavy, shbrt grass can be grown for
this purpose with splendid results, and
even where the track has to be worked
a great deal the grass will soon take
root again and cover the surface so
that dust will not raise by the sudtlon
of parsing train*.
i June 1 "Employman* Day.”
Tbe executive committee of theANa-
tional Prosjierity association, after con-
ference with the leading manufactur-
ers and jobbers, lias named June 1 as
^employment day. and they have th*
word of the business men that thou-
sands of men thrown out of work dur-
ing the business and financial depres-
sion will be re-employed, says a St
Louis dispatch. It Is expected that be-
tween 4.000 and 5.000 men will be pat
at work. The movement will also
taken up among tbe railroads and
other corporations. Tl»e.v will be urg:-d
to follow the example and take, back •
as many of their laid'off employees ns
possible on that day and to start the
wheels moving in their shops and fac-
tories.
The majority of people get
very little out of their brains be-
cause they never learn to thinx
systematically. Tbeir inifids
are like some country stores
where everything is jumbled up.
There is no order or method any-
where. They browse, or cogi-
tate. but they do not focus tbeir
minds and conduct their mentaJ
processes with order?
Slovenly mental habits will
destroy the finest minds.
I’he strength and persistency
of our habitual thought-force
measure our efficiency. The
habitual thought-force in many
people is so feeble and spasmodic
that tjiey cannot focus their
minds with sufficient vigor to
accomplish much.
We can quickly tell the first
time we meet a person whether
his thought-force is strong or
weak, for every sentence be
utters will partake of its quality.
The person who has a nega-
tive thought-force betrays bis
lack of Strength in his every
word. His language is weak,
has no gripping quality.
But the man with a vigorous
mentality takes right bold of
you, grips your mind with every
sentence. His poW#r thrills you,
and you feel immediately that
you are in the presence of a
strong personality.
It is the positive, the aggres-
sive thought that creates, that
invents. Tbe negative thought
is always weak.
