MESSENGERS BOYS NOT
PIN MONEY AFFAIRS

Editor Press-We messenger
boys of Spokane would like to say
in regard to the story which ap-
peared in your paper September 1
about us boys getting our permits
extended until Saturday in order
to make pin money and having it
over the other boys of Spokane by
getting to stay out after o'clock
at night
1t isn't because we want to, but
we have mothers and sisters to
support and it is matter of max
ing bed money, not pin money, and
there is any number of nights that
we have to sleep on soft side of
a bench in order that we get in the
necessary amount to keep things
going at home. Now, Mr.. Editor,
we would like you to consider us a
little in this matter, for there is a
lot of yellow hammers in this city
that think we are riding around
own for the pleasure of it and pin
money" We would also like to say
that it Is necessary for some of
us to work after 9 o'clock at night,
for we keep ready all night. Yours
truly, The Spokane Messenger
Boys.

United States Senator Piles tolt
an audience at Ballard how he was

the pledge that the next senator

After relating how he had been
persuaded to become a candidate
and how the balloting in the legis

he was invited to Charles Sweeny's

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. g.
Wouldn't it be nice, boys, to have a
real. sure enough, big. live admiral
for your best chum?
An admiral with big, beetling
brows. the dropping mustach of
pirate, an eye that simply flashes
when 1t loks at you, and all in all
face such as looks out at you
from the big histories in papa's
library
You bet 1t would!
And that Is what Charlie Taft,
10 year old son of the republican
candidate for president. has in Ad-
miral George Dewey Of Uncle Sans
big navy. The admiral is Charles
next door neighbor, They're great
chums.
Charlie went to the Philippines
with his father just when the ad-
mirals fame was at its zenith.
There he heard whole lot about
the admiral. The first thing he did
when he returned was to go down
to his home and ask for his auto
graph.
He got It. More than that, he
won stanch friend IN the admiral.
Since then he has visited him often,
and they've taken many carriage
ride together. About year ago
\ the admiral moved down town next
door to the Tafts. Since then Char
lie and the admiral have become
real ohpms.
The admiral has taught him
whole lot about sailboats and the
sea, He has almost convinced
Charlie that there is no life like
sailors, Charlie doesn't think half
as much of the army as he used to,
and he Is dlsgusted with the idea
OF his father being elected presi.

The secret of getting to sleep is
not so easily told as some others
of these secrets. The trouble is
that sleeplessness may be due to
any one of number of causes, and
the treatment must depend upon
the cause.
The three principal conditions
likely to cause insomnia are indi-
gestion, mental activity and nerv-
GUS muscular tension. Each of
these we must consider by itself
First, indigestion. Now. the form
of indigestion which most often
causes sleeplessness is what we
call fermentation. This means
that the meal, because too large, or
too complex, or eaten too rapidly,
has not digested, but has ferment-
ed, that is, in plain words, ''rotted"
in the stomach.
This fermenting mass is unspeak-

And they have about the same

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-"The
Devil" New York's latest thriller,
one of the strongest and most grip
ping plays the stage has seen in a
decade, has strangle hold upon
the play going public.
It's problem play double dis
titled 1t has all it's predecessors
done to a fragile. Beside it Mrs.
Warren's Profession is a Sunday
school tract. 1t is a picture, bril-
liant in high lights, of the passions
of the human soul
Last year when George Arliss
appeared in Ibsen's "Rosmersholm"
1t was suggested that visit to the
morgue would be jolly in compari-
son. Arliss smiled his slow smile
and agreed. "Never mind" he
promised, next year I'm going to
bring out something everybody
will like"
He has just fulfilled his promise
with THE Devil" in the Belasco
theater under the direction of Har-
rison Grey Fiske. And Arliss,
suave, gently insinuating and al
ways clever, stars as his satanic
majesty.
But he Is not the only one. Ed
win Stevens, that other irresistible
character man, is doing the very
same thing in play of the very
same name under Henry w. Saw
Esye's direction at the Garden
- And such warm argument as
they're having about who's stole the
idea and play!
And such devils as they are!
Now don't conjure up any vision
of red cloaked monsters with all
the extremities running to points.
The art of either of these men
would scorn the help of horns and
birthstone. Besides thrill loving
New York would yawn at anything
so ante-190S-ian. And he who let's
New York yawn dies the most
miserable of stage deaths.
Both are up to the minute Me-
phistos. Both are devils in even

FIRST CHURCH
NOT TO BE SOLD
Morris Levy Offers to Aid the
Methodist Protestant
Congregation
BELIEVED THAT AMOUNT
NEEDED WILL BE RAISED

While the Rev. DIR. George L. Wolf
has received many generous financial
responses in his efforts to save First
Methodist Protestant Church from be-
ing sold by the sheriff to satisfy a
mortgage. DIR. Wolfe to-day stated that
one Of the most gratifying offers has
come from a Jewish merchant Of this
CITY. who rather than see the church
sold Is willing to advance several hum
dred dollars TO make up the amount
needed bv the congregation.
This offer came from Morris Levy,
a well-known shoe merchant, and is
considered all the more generous by
Dr. Wolfe because Of the variance i'm
religion between the Methodist Protes-
eants and the Hebrews. Mr. Levy be-
ing one of the foremost members of
tie Temple OF Truth ami the Adas-
kodesch Jewish Congregations
DR.. Wolfe needs but $500 more to
make up the amount needed to save
the church and to satisfy the mortgage,
and the holder of the mortgage has ex-
tended the time for proceeding to fore
close the mortgage from to-day until
Monday to give DR.. Wolfe and the
First NJ. P. Church congregation a final
opportunity TO raise the amount.
Meanwhile DR.. Wolfe has received a
letter from Mr.. Levy in which he Of
fers to advance whatever amount may
be needed to meet the mortgage and
to TAX a note from DR.. Wolfe and the
congregation and give them plenty OF
time in which to pay off the note in
a manner that will nor embarrass the
congregation.
Dr. Wolfe stated to-day that he
priced Mr.. Levy's offer highly and 50
had written TO him. He did not think
it would be necessary for the church
to avail itself Of Mr.. Levy's offer, how
ever. as he thinks that by Monday the
$500 needed win have been raised.

The article which attracted so much
attention was a piece OF bark from a
tree, one end Of which had carbonized
and been transformed into coal. 1t was
a good specimen and the bark could be
plainly seen at one end and the coal
at the other.
II was stated by the superintendent
of the work that IL was a common oc-
|currence 10 bring up pieces Of wood

wood with one end coal was a rare
find. 1t is supposed from the nature
