A Close Shave.

"What's new in financial circles" was
asked Of prominent banker this morning.
"Money continues pretty tight, !" was the
reply but we have just wound up the
closest deal Of the year. A well known
citizen who has held quite number of
county and city offices and aspired to more,
brought us in check to cash for 1920. 20.
The cashier handed him out $4,000, which
he tackled away into his jeans. "One mo-
ment," he said, as he turned to go, III
think you have made mistake; there are
two cents coming to me yet"
"But," replied the cashier, "that is the
closest change we can make. If it's two
cents we keep it, and three cents you
get it."
"Well, want two cents more, anyhow, if
have to get it in stamp"
The banker was forced to concede, and
fshed up stamp to the satisfaction Of his
patron and the amusement of the bank
officers.

The Theater Tonight.

The play tonight is rousing good one.
The San Francisco Post says of it: The
San Francisco public has stamped aA
Straight Tip" with the seal Of popular ap
proyal. A vast audience assembled at the
California theater last night to witness its
first production in this city, and every
body went away satisfied that they had
seen the best farce comedy produced here
for many day. IA Straight Tip'
differs i'll many material respects
from. the majority of its predeces-
sors in the same line. The success of
many of the latter has often been seriously
handicapped by the plentiful lack of talent
displayed by the members Of the company.
In "a Straight Tip' one is confronted with
a totally different state Of affairs. There
is such wealth of talent in the company
now playing at the California theater that
the casual critic, SO far from having to be
on the lookout for clever people, is abso-
lutely embarrassed at the wealth of talent
displayed by the cast. 1t is impossible to
single out anybody as immensely superior
to the rest. They are all good.

whom we all hope to meet in that temple
''not made with hands eternal in the heay-
ems"
While from time immemoriaI it has

Tacoma Every Sunday: The triumpant
rnle-or-ruin Seattle men and methods are
still at work locally to maintain their i'll
gotten and fatal prestige. Through pure
spite against Tacoma and the Northern
Pacific railroad, Seattle republicans once
turned the territory over to Voorhees, and
the democracy, and the same influences
might repeat this treachery, if it were
deemed necessary. Under the circum-
stances the electoral vote of Washington,
while reasonably probable, cannot be re-
garded as an absolute certainty.

ers; she received warm embrace cordial
shake of the hand, and "God be with

A noticeable feature Of the election in
Virginia is the fact that for the first time
since the war there is no negro member in
the legislature, and that the negroes did
not generally vote except in two counties,
where the republicans put up a ticket. In
ticket voted for was that nominated by the
democrats. The legislature is so unani-
mously democratic that mem bers of that
party are already expressing the fear that
it may become unwieldly.

ably follow foreign demonstrations unless
special preventive measures are adopted.
In spite Of the semi-official statement that
two Of the Chang rioters had been beheaded
and others bastinadoed, it is a notorious
fact that the real culprits are still free, be-
