,Shiraz," that is remarkable in
in more ways than one. II IS an
appealing tale of a small American
boy, the son of a brilliant portrait
painter. Born in Persia, his
mother died soon after MS birth
and he trailed all over Asia with
his father. "Shiraz' became Versed
in the ways of oriental, spoke their
dialects, and because OF the con-
slant strain and anxiety and the
undue responsibility OF looking
after his bibulous father, he ac-
quired a strange prematur.ty OF
face and speech. He IS a. odd a
youngster and as lovable 4 one as

of us in Seattle remember when what is now the
Order of Eagles nothing more or less than
the assembling of number of fellows Sunday
afternoons under the old coal bunkers of the Pa
cific Coast Company at First avenue and King
street for no greater purpose than to drink beer
and tell funny stories about themselves. Soon the
assemblage took the form of organization,
and then it began to grow and it grew fast that
the orignators are hardly able to recognize their
own. The first grand session held in Seattle
in 1898, and it's public parade, which was on Sun
day. was a sight for the gods to see. Things

Always Ready to Riot.-Whether it be North,
South East or West in the United States, it is
always safe bet that the white man is ever ready
to do violence to some class of human beings II
thev happen to have darker skin than their own.
But few days ago the white folk of Shelbyvllle,
Ind were driving number of Negroes out OF the
town for some infraction of the law which one OF
their number is said to have been guilty OF, and
the mobbng of Negroes for any infraction OF the
law they may commit is so common to the South
ern states that comment is unnecessary Another
dav the report comes that the citizens of Belling-
ham are mobbing lot of Hindu people because
thev not only wanted to work, but were actually
working: and the Lord only knows what would
have been the result if the British flag had not
been displayed, the Hindus being British subjects,
which alarmed the whites. Chinaman is not
permitted to stay night in Tacoma, and IN
most of the mill towns of this state none OF the
darker races are permitted to tarry for a single
minute or mob violence is enforced, for no other
reason than the color of their skins. II the white
man is so superior in knowledge and religion as
he boasts of being, it would seem that he would
not be so afraid of competing with the inferior
darker races

To be polite to ladies is quite study, and men
differ very widely in their manners and customs
of being polite to ladies they perchance to meet
in public places whether acquainted with them OF
not One man is seen to take his hat Off as soon
as a lady enters an elevator in which he is being
carried from floor to floor in building. Another
by his side pays attention to his hat, but under
no circumstances will he walk out of the elevator
as long as there is lady in it on reaching the
ground floor while the man who stood with his
head uncovered all the way down the elevator
will almost run over the lady in his mad rush to
get out and continue his business hustle. Ihe
question now is, which of those two men have the
right idea of politeness to ladies?

trick and clerks are able to pick up quite little

"Former Judge Benson in my opinion was de-
serving of all that he got and more besides, said
a we'll known attorney day this week. but
not so much on the charge of having deceived his
client for taking the papers, which he himself
admitted obtained by fraud and obtaining
money on them-which not only unprofes-
sional but criminal and | am surprised that Grim
nal proceedings have not been instituted against
him for obtaining money under false pretenses.'
He borrowed the money from the bank on the
assumption that the property in question was his
own. The bank lost the case when it attempted to
hold the property for the money, and it is now
before the supreme court with very fair prospects
of the verdict of the lower court being sustained
If Mr. Benson did not commit crime in obtain
ing the money from the bank in the manner he
did, then I am inclined to think that

Brevity and object is the motto of the American
citizen, and | have been inclined to think it a
pretty good motto, but that motto must have been
given the cold shivers while listening to Judge
George E. Morris dissect the Benson disbarment
case last Saturday morning. He doubtless
quite logical and legally profound, but those who
listened to him felt like saying in the words of
the convention delegate, when some other dele
gate is placing in nomination some candidate for
justice of the peace and is spinning out eulogy
mile long without disclosing his candidates name,
that they yell out in utter disgust "Oh name him."
Two minutes would have suficed to have said all
that the judge took half hour to sputter over.
