HIS LIBERTY WAS
BUT SHORT LIVED

Because he wanted to be in on
the Fourth of July celebration, Les
lie Gilman, a trusty whom Deputy
Sheriff Thomas E. Heddle had
taken to his residence to put his
lawn in order, violated the conf,
dence of that officer, when on Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock he
made break for liberty.
Mrs. Heddle, noting his absence,
telephoned her husband, who in.
formed hte police. Ohman's liberty
was but short lived, for on Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock he was seen
by Officer Woodcock going into
the Commercial hotel to visit his
mother, and was arrested.
Gilman will likely serve out the
rest of his sentence of three
months in close confinement fol
the scare he gave the officers. He
is under sentence for contributing
to the delinquency of his sister
Pearl.

(ey United Press

SAN RAFAEL, Cal, July s.
Following upon the marriage of
Gladys Emery. daughter of Arch
deacon Emery, to Gunjiro Aoki, the
following advertisement for a pref
ty American wife, submitted to a
local newspaper by a Japanese, is
the cause of unusual excitement
and discussion in this city.
The following advertisement was
appended:

Big Piano Sale
Soon to End

You have just a few more days
to take advantage of the biggest
clearance sale in the history of the
Eilers store. Saturday will prob
ably see the last.
We have accomplished our OBJ
ject, that of reducing our over
stock, and will continue in the
same steady way after this week.
Whether we are offering special
prices or not, it will pay you to see
us before buying your piano. We
have been giving the people of Spo-
kane and vicinity bargains so long
that we have come to be known as
the best place to buy a piano"
Now you can save 800 to $164
more than at any ordinary time.
$157 buys a regular $3.50 piano,
fully warranted. $173 buys the
same thing in a little more costly
case. $21S buys just as good a
piano as was ever sold at S1O0
more money. And so on through
out our entire line.
The finest makes are included.
such as Steck, Kimball Decker,
Hobart M. Gable, Lester, Pease,
etc.
Terms as low as SIS down and
the balance at $1.50 or more per
week. You will hardly miss the
money.
Don't put it off any longer. Every
day counts now, and you may miss
an opportunity that will not come
again for a long time.
Come in today and take your
pick of any piano in our magnifi-
cent stock at a bona fide saving of
500 to 1854. If it does not prove
satisfactory and just as repre-
sented, we will take it back and
apply your money on anything else
in the store, or failing to please
you, will return the money. That
is the kind of treatment you get at

STOCK OF FIREWORKS
SPEEDILY WIPED OUT

A small boys fun with a Fourth
Of July "grasshopper" in front of
fireworks stand at the corner of
Sprague avenue and Washington
street ended disastrously when a
spark from the "grasshopper," all
sputtering and sizzling, flew into
the stand laden with articles of cell
ebration. They all went up In fire
and explosion and pandemonium
reigned on the streets for block
each way until the stock was re-
duced TO bunch of charred and
tattered pastboard and water soak
ed ruins.
Sky rockets wrent the adjacent
awnings and chased pedestrians in
terror both ways on the street, en-
dangered nearby buildings with
their sizzling tails OF fire, and
bombs shattered the windows in
front of the Big Bend Land Co. s
office, In front of which the stand
stood.
The stock OF fireworks, which
was valued at about $40, belonged
TO i. M, Jacoy, proprietor Of a con-
fectionery store one door away.
and the damage amounted to about
$3.50 aside from the loss OF the
money put into them. The fire de-
partment made O quick run aud ex-
tinguished the flames with the
chemical before 1t could gain head
way inside the store.

of from 20 to 40 convicts in white
shirts and short white trousers
marked with arrows. the English
convict garb. Sometimes they are
working on roads, sometimes carry
ing on their heads pans of earth to
build mud huts. Before and behind
walk sentries with rifles, but these
are thanked by nasal with spears
and long whips of rhinoceros hide,
which the convicts dread almost
more than the rifles.
However small the theft, the
negro is condemned to hard labor
for a short term if his guilt be
proved; he suffers no social preju-
dice among his peers when he
comes out, since they have all
been there at one time or another,
or if they have escaped it is on ac-
count of superior cleverness in
selecting their victims.
But they also are condemned to
hard labor if they desert their
masters. Being in their own
country and being happier in the
wilds than in town, native servants
and agricultural laborers used to
run away at the slightest provoca-
ton, or simply because, having
worked for a month and earned a
few rupees, they could live happily
and lazily in their own wilds for
several months.
Life and work had become, al
most impossible for the British
colonist when the law was passed
that servants or hands must en-
gage themselves by the MONTH or
period of several months, and that
running away before that time was
desertion.
Often the negro is given his
choice between a month of hard
labor or rs strokes of the "kibo-
ko" or whip of hippopotamus hide,
which all but draws the blood.
The negro generally chooses the
kiboko.
Though it is painful at the time,
he has an excuse for escaping a
little work instead of being forced
to do a maximum of work for 80
days. -. ...-.
On an average there are in
Nairobi $50 negro convicts out of
residential native population of
some 5000. There is little sick
ness among the convicts. They
seem, indeed, to thrive under the
effects of the work to which they
object. The only difference noted
when they come out, and it is
sign by which they always can be
identified, is that they are rather
thin and slightly muscular, in
stead Of fat and flabby like the
native in his primitive state OF
lazy bliss.

FIREWORKS CAUSE A
PANIC AT A DANCE

The accidental discharge of $3.50
worth of fireworks in a dancing
pavilion caused a panic at a Fourth
of July celebration at Ephrata,
Wash. Sky rockets and Roman
candles were shot in all directions
into the gathering and caused a
stamepede of so couples who were
in the pavilion dancing when the
accident happened. They fled for
safety as the skyrockets shot into
their midst. A canvas stretched
across one end Of the pavilion re-
tarded their escape and men and
women piled up in a heap. Finally
the canvas was raised and a more
serious outcome was averted. The
orchestra resumed playing, while
DIR. p. G. Mikelson, who was pres
ent, attended the injured. No one
was seriously hurt.

whereas, here, instead of being

short sentence, passed on the

| have asked several old resi-
dents if they had found that this
hard labor system had altered the
negro's Unborn propensity for steal
ing; none could be optimistic
enough to pretend that it had.
All agreed that it had instilled
in the African negro the principle
that ne must not steal from his
master, and that he must be care
full in stealing from other people,
so that thefts are at least de-
creased by the antidote of hard la
Dor, the negro's greatest Unborn OBJ

NAIROBI, British East Africa,
July 5.-The principle of the Amer
lean southern negro that stealth
vittles amt thievin'' is shared by
his African cousin, and further
more is extended to articles of
