WHEN SANTA WENT AsTRAY.
Miracle of the Loaves Repeated For
Washingtons Poor.

The day of miracles has not passed.
according to the firm belief of hun
dred or more poor people in Washing
ton. Last Christmas day Almas tenn
pie of the Shriners gave its annual din
ner to the poor. 1t was a we'll planned
affair, generously contributed to, and
turned out big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the
programme and made the hit of the
occasion.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loayes of bread The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle Of one Of his sto-
ries there entered another big, fat San
ia Claus, carrying a colossal basket
full Of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent a gift of bread to
be distributed and signed a receipt for
the 100 lOaVeS. In few minutes they
were handed around to the heads of
families, and an additional smile of
Christmas joy went around with them.
When the festivities were nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis
perse a man came running in and ask
ed
did you get $50 loaves of bread?"
eve did" was the reply.
"What did you do with it,"
"Gave it away"
"Well, that was an order from the
Carroll institute. 1t came here by
mistake. But it is all right. We are
glad you gave it away, and If you need
more let us know" and the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with
the incident-New York Times.

ASKS ORANIZED LABOR TO PRE-
VENT REELECTION OF
JUNGLE JOE"

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-OrganiZed labor
throughout the United States is being
urged by President Samuel GOmpers. of
the American Federation of Labor, to
use it's influence to defeat the election
of Joseph G. Cannon as speaker of the
house of represent atives at the coming
session of congress. Central labor
bodies in every city in the country and
the 80, 900 local unions affiliated with
the national federation have been ap-
pealed to in a circular letter to adopt
resolutions condemning Mr.. Cannon
and 20 appoint committees to wait per-
sonally on congressman from their re-
spective districts and protest against
his reelection as speaker.
The circular letter which was re-
ceived in Chicago, gives a resume of
the legislation sought by labor which
Mr.. Cannon is said to have opposed as
far back as 1870. when he opposed the
enforcement of he proclamation issued
by President Grant that the eight hour
law for government employees should be
enforced and that they be paid the
rates of wages they had been receiving
for 10 hours. Mr.. Cannon succeeded in

VILLAIN SHOOTS PRoDIGAL
"HEAVY" AT THE ORPHEUM CAME
NEAR GETTING MAN IN
EARNEST.

Just a little more real thar. most of
he spectators thought was the staying
of Walter the prodigal son, in
night. The shot had been extracted
from the shell which was used as am
munition for the williams gun, but the
heavy felt wads came nearly answer
ing the same purpose and when he
wandering boy fell prone on the stage
at the end of the first act, it was
with couple of gun wads in his arm.
1t was near the end of the first act
that the near tragedy occurred. The
hero had quarrelled with his sweet
heart. Then he saw her in her brothers
arms. Then he wanted to fight and
wanted to fight bad. But while he was
gone for the necessary weapons to
conduct the fight, the villain appeared
on the scene.
THE time has come quOth he. and
let fly at the prodigal. Then the hero
returned at just that moment and the
villain swore he did it. While the hero
swore he would live but for revenge
and the villain wreathed his face in
smiles and the heroine wept tears of
grief and the hard-hearted papa re-
Tented and the wronged woman in the
background saw the whole affair, the
prodigal was much nearer dead than
was really intended. 1t was what could
almost be called half shot. He wasn't
really shot, but still he was partly
shot, you know. Then the curtain was
rung down and the wounded man called
doctor and the wads We're removed
and Dave Williams treasured the au
dience.

ALL BIG men
NOT IN SENATE
CONGRESSMAN CUSHMAN BE-
lIEVES THERE ARE OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES.

81 have always had a hOmely, old
fashioned notion that every man
ought TO try to keep his intellect a
few laps in the lead of his ambition.
While 1 have been working hard of late
wears. / don't think that it is absolute
ly necessary for me to go to the sem
ate,''
So declared Congressman Francis
w. Cushman just previous to starting
from Tacoma 20 Washington last Mon
day, says a Spokane report.
"'Of course it is kind of you to mem
ton it, he continued. But it is good
deal better for me to be in the house
and have a few men saying that
ought to be in the senate, than for me
to be in the senate, and have every
body saying that the job was too big
for me.
1T is complete AMI profound mys-
terry to me why so many people think
that no man can be great tilr he gets
into the senate There is today in the
house of representatives an Opportuni-
ty for the use of the very best brains
of this republic. If there is anything In
a man he doesn't have to get INFO the
senate to demonstrate. 1t. There are
men in the house today, like Cannon
and Tawney. John Dalzell and John
Sharp Williams, who are infinitely
bigger than the vast majority of the
men in the senate"
Cushman was asked if the tariff
would be revised this winter.
Not by my VOTE" he replied. 1--WE
in the state of Washington have all
the reasons to let the tariff alone pos
sessed by any other S.ate-and then
we have additional reasons of our own.
When the next revision of the tariff
comes We are likely to come out of it
looking like the proverbial dimes
worth of soap after hard days wash
The lumber industry of this state is
perhaps the largest single factor ir.
this states prosperity. If change in
the tariff should close up the mills Of
this state we would be in poverty in

THE MO1ORMAN's TROUBLES
PRETTY GOLDEN LEAVES FALL
ON TRACK AND THEN HE
"cuSSES."

Il notice in some of the western pa
pers that the little innocent looking
leaves which are falling, falling and
many of them falling down, are caus-
ing considerable trouble with the car
moterman, said a witty patron of the
local traction company to One of the
'.cony" conductors On the loop line last
evening.
Yep" replied the manipulation of the
bell cord. you have the right bunch.
The innocent, pretty, golden and fluffy
leaves make the average moterman
cuss- Now they look Aarmless, don't
they, but when they are wet and get
on the track. they make the rails as
slippery as they are on a sleeting day.
Can we find remedy for it? Yes,
perhaps If you are wise enough to fig
ure on. the laws of gravity and in
vent some means by which the leaves
will be compelled to fall up instead of
down, then l think a remedy may fol-
low"
The witty patron held his peace.
