Theatrical

WASHINGTON-Sydney Dean &
Co. are prime favorites at the
Washington theater this week with
their singing novelty, consisting Of
clevef jokes, good singing and ex-
ceptidnal comedy. Mr.. Deans
singing is one Of the pleasing feat
ures of the number. Leon Rogee's
vocal limitations of the trombone,
violincello and other instruments
are quite realistic and shows a
great deal II practice. Another
clever artist is Miss Gertie Ever
EFT, the little soubrette, who enter
tains in a very pleasing manner
with her funny stories and new
songs. Miss Everett is dainty and
accomplished. and tries very hard
to please, and. certainly succeeds,
as is shown by the reception she re-
ceives at each performance.

DON'T WORRY
EGGS WILL COST
MORE HERE SOON

A large dealer in eggs and
produce is authority for the
statement that II Spokane de-
pended on the eggs raised In
this immediate vicinity there
would not be one egg per head
per week for our population.
Most Of the eggs sold In
Spokane at this time come
from the east. They are stor-
age eggs, and the best Of them,
called selected eggs, are sold
for as much as the best home
production, which bring IS
cents per dozen.
There are all sorts and con-
ditions Of packed eggs, some Of
which retail to restaurants
and bakeries as low as IS to
40 cents per dozen. The
strictly fresh home laid eggs
+ have not advanced In the last
two weeks, selling still at SO
to SIS cents per dozen. The
price will be higher before
Christmas.

thousands of workers throughout
the country are becoming more
clamorous in their demands that
some forward movement be made
to gain political power.
First Vice President Duncan is
being bitterly attacked by the boot
and shoe workers, who charge that
he used the prestige of his position
to defend a prominent manufacture
err hostile to their organization, and
aided in splitting their union.
John Mitchell, second vice presi.
dent, has aroused the ire of many
O fthe miners because he Is advo-
eating the establishment of trade
schools under the auspices Of the
National Civic Federation instead
of under the control of the unions
affected. It Is also claimed that he
Is constitutionally ineligible to rep
resent the miners, being no longer
employed In the trade.

EVA BOOTH DOESN'T BLAME

apartment In this city Wed
nesday.
New York has law making
attempted suicide a crime. A girl
of the streets, who has sold her
soul for orr meals food, without
home, or Hope, starved and de-
spised. Could you drag her out of
the river, that promised endless
rest, and send her to prison?
ITS wonder that more of them
don't commit suicide.
The Whole World HeartIess
men without work, families de-
pending upon them, women with
out hope, and the whole world, it
seems to them, without a heart, is
it any wonder that poison seems
to them a sweet morsel, a balm for
all earth's woes?
"You think life isn't worth

Observation-Disclosures who want to
see a real vaudeville show should
purchase ticket to the Orpheum
this week. If you want to laugh
and forget your troubles nothing
could be better than an evening
spent in that popular playhouse.
And If you want to see an artistic
playlet wait for William H. Thomp-
son in Pride Of the Regiment"
He is on fifth. This sketch will
grip your heartstrings. A descrip-
ton of the skit is useless; ga and
see it.
Next week, starting with the mat
inee, an entire change of program
takes place. 1t will be headed by
that versatile Coincidence, Flor
ence Bindley, who is making her
first trip west in her musical mon
ologue. Another favorite to return
in new sketch is Eva Taylor in
an act called "Dreamona."
PANTAGES-Kent and Adams,
English society entertainers, at
the Pantages theater this week, do
a neat, clean, as we'll as clever, act,
refined and pleasing in every way.
They both have good voices and
sing several singles and doubles,
finishing with novel little dance
which is a good finish.

I'VE are thinking Of practical hus-
band who bought his wife practical
gift. Their few years of married life
had been spent in poverty. She had
tried so hard on the days before
Christmas to make the occasion happy
for the children. The husband came
home late on Christmas evening and
without ceremony, bluntly tossed a
carelessly wrapped brown package in
to his tired wife's lap. Unwrapping
it, the little woman found that it was
a much-be-patterned,b blue calico cloth
for a kitchen dress.
1T was trial for the worn-out
woman. The gift was so suggestive;
it was so practical-the very thing
for her drudging life. She was a sen
sible woman; she loved her husband
and her home, but just at that time
at Christmas-she would have pre-
ferred some little inexpensive, fool
ish trifle, and they could have laugh
ed over it, and talked of the old days
and in the dreams and plans of bet
ter days, spent such happy hour.
Rich people SO often make the mis-
take of sending their less fortunat'
relatives practical presents that ar
so painfully suggestive. 1t take
tact to make a Christmas gift. To-
often Christmas giving is tragic. s.
many things are sent because some
one sent one the year before.
True Christmas giving is an art
and the present that isn't at all use
full or practical has its place. If yo
know a womans heart, you will kno'
that.
For we are just children after a
children grown up-and our hearts
attuning themselves to the sweetnes
of the season are too sensitive a
Christmas time.
Don't criticise the gift that is nc
painfully practical"

CALLERS BOTHER
GOVERNOR NOEL
His Message to Legislature Being
Written Piecemeal on This
Account.

Jackson, Dec. 3.-If Governor Noel
could deny himself to all callers he
might complete his message to the
approaching legislative session with
in the next week, but, unfortunately
for the chief executive, his callers are
so numerous that he rarely has oppor-
tunity to write more than one para
graph at time.
The piecemeal preparation of the
message has been in progress since
the first of the week, and the governor
has completed only few pages of
the document. Finding it impossible
to get much work accomplished dur
ing office hours, he has decided to
transfer the scene of literary activi-
ties to the executive manison, but
even in the privacy of his home he is
frequently interrupted by callers seek
ing pardons for prisoners or to dis
cuss various phases of legislation

Owing to the fact that the message

of routine work that is dumped into
the office toward the close of the

the capital will be very infrequent
during the next three months. This

BIG TANK DROPPED

Almost Miracle That No One Was

Special to The NelUs.

Special to The Ne,CS.
Memphis, Dec. "a mammoth tank,
containing over 10000 gallons Of
water and weighing 100000 pounds,
suddenly quit its perch above the
Yates & Donelson elevator building
at South Lauderdale and Railroad ave-
nue., at IL o'clock yesterday, and
without warning came crashing down
through the six stories of the struc-
ture, landing in the boiler room, car
rying with it brick, grain, and carloads
of debris. That no one was killed or
seriously hurt is perhaps due to the
noon hour chosen by the tank for its
tumble, time when all the employees
that could get off were at dinner
leaving no one in that part of the
building wrecked.
The damage is estimated at $25,
