Too many young people depend on
their fathers money taking them
through this world, and their mothers
prayers making everything all right
for the next.

People of all classes that need help
are looking about for intelligent, in

boys. A boy of that kind is laying a
good foundation for success in life.

NEGRO EDITOR
WANTS DAMAGES

J. Gordon Mcpherson, the
negro minister who was SO
prominently before the public
a short time ago through his
dismissal from the pastorate of
the Calvary Baptist church and
advocacy of a tabernacle for
negro worshipers, has sued c.
S. Parker and Charles s. Bar
row, editors Of the Spokane
Citizen, a weekly newspaper,
$1,000 for libel.
Mcpherson alleges in his
complaint that before three de-
famatory articles appeared In
the Citizen, he bore a good
reputation here as a minister of
the gospel, and that each of the
articles injured him to the ex-
tent Of $4,000.
The first iiheious article is
that Of September 10, when, I'M
der the caption, swell Done,
BUT be Careful" the Calvary
church officials are compli-
mented for having Cleaned
their pulpit and expelled a de-
generate" In advising the
church trustees as to their
choice, the avoidance of "con-
sidering a reformed deaener-
ate" was recommended.
In an editorial of Octoer 2,
under the heading "Hot Air"
the editor speaks OF the "crude
and crooked methods" of the
"falIen and expelled" pastor,
and sounds a warning to be-
ware of his scheme for "hot
air" tabernacle.

IGREAT GAME! N0bLEMEN VS.. AMERICAN G|RLS
| SUSAN HENNNG WILL TRY FOR A WINNING

81 NEW YORK, Nov. ia. new
player steps out into the field for
the great series of games between
the NQblemen of Europe and the
Girls of America.
s. She was Miss Susan Henning of
louisville and New York.
s. The game began Wednesday at
.6t. Patrick's beautiful cathedral in
Hfe AVENUE, New York Miss Hen
nfn3s opponent is Marquis de Char
Site of Brittany. He is said to be
a splendid, representative of the
nohiemen of Europe, and they are
.expecting great things from him
over there.
The new marquise, however, has
had some coaching for her part.
She is acquainted with most of the
Girls of America who have ployed
and lost in the game with the
clever and shifty noblemen. If she
fears that she will be loser she
does not show it. She Is said to be
as courageous as any American girl
that ever tried to win a victory in
the game.
She knows about Anna Gould,
who, with $15,000,0O0, lost out to
Boni de Castellane, who won by
spending her, money on other
women, abused her and caused her
to get a divorce. The case Of Helen
Morton may give her points, too.
Helen married the Due de Valen-
caya who won out over her in short
ord4r by insulting her immediately
aftef Ihe wedding and deserving

perfence with the earl of Yarmouth,
who extorted some of her 100000
from her on her wedding day and
deserted her. There are many
pointers, too, in the case of Ella
Haggin, with her $5,000,000, who
married Count Festetics de Tolna.

There is one housewife in Spo-
kane today who is buying new
hat with the money she was about
to pay the Crescent Loan Co. in ex-
cessive interest on a loan, when
this article of law was made
known to her. 1t will be clearer to
the readers in starting with this
woman's story to know that the
Crescent office does not advance
loans on salary for less than six
months. The reason for that is
plain. The sharks can keep their
greedy hands in their victims
pockets for f.anclal benefit just
that much longer, and hi sgame is
"cinch"
This particular woman's husband
borrowed $35 from this concern,
and he was to repay the debt in
six payments at the rate of 1896
each. He had already paid $37.40
on the debt-$1 more than legal
rate of interest-and still owed
$3.50, according to the sharks fig.
ures. His wife went to the mayors
office, on her way to pay another

SIT IN A
ROW
WILL HEAR ATKINSON
INDICTMENT CASE.

At o'clock this afternoon the
five superior court judges of Spo-
kane county will sit in Judge Sulli-
vans court to hear the arguments
on the motions to quash the indict-
ments against County Clerk Akin
son and Superintendent Stafford of
the poor farm.
The motion to quash and set
aside the indictments are based
upon the following grounds:
First-That the names of all wit
nesses examined before the grand
jury were not endorsed in the re-
port, and, second, that the grand
jury was not selected, drawn, sum-
moned, impaneled and sworn ac-
cording to law.
Voorhees, & Voorhees, have been
retained by Stafford, and every eff
fort will be made to free the Off.
Gals.
Atkinson was indicted for appro-
priating to his own use the interest
on trust funds, while Stafford was
indicted during the last few days
of the grand jury for embezzling
small sum from the poor farm
funds.
