HORSE EATS $1,000.

Hoke Scott, a farmer of Seattle,
Wash, sold II acres of his Renton
farm recently for $4,000. He received
the money in greenbacks, which he
stuck in the breast pocket of his coat.
On his way home he stopped to tell of
his good luck sale to a neighbor, and
while talking the old horse he had
been leading reached over and pulled
out the greenbacks and masticated
them before the farmers could pry
open the horses mouth. The animal
swallowed a good portion of the
money, but the irate farmer saved a
bunch of small pieces he managed to
pull off corner of the roll. Hoke is
now wondering If the treasury depart
ment will redeem the money with the
aid of the few remnants he has col
lected.

BORED NEEDLE LEMGTHWISE

An expert workman in one of the
great British needle factories, in test

delicate feats imaginable. He took a
common sewing needle of medium size,
an inch and fve-eighths in length. and
drilled hole through it's entire length
from eye to point. the opening being
just large enough to permit of the
passage of very fine hair.

SOME TIMELY COMMENT
ON PARK BONDS

Editor The Spokane Press:
There has been nothing in news
paper work in Spokane since l
came here, 26 years ago, that can
compare with what The Press is
doing at present in opening the
peoples eyes by exposing the rot
tenness of our public administra-
ton, and the results that will and
must follow will earn for this fear
less paper name that will live
in the heart of every honest and
true citizen. God speed to The
Press. 1t is noble work to open
the peoples eyes.
There is a subject coming up
shortly before the voters of this
city. 1t is the million dollar park
bond issue.
There are different ways to look
at it. do not know the stand of
The Press, but The Press is always
on the right side of the fence-the
side for the best of the general pub
lie, and l trust will be SO in this
case. -r s.arr
1 have given my opinion to sew
eral of my friends and was aston
ished to find that none of them had
looked or thought of it in the light
I do. l have been asked to give it
to The Press and the public and
let them judge.
A bond issue of one million run
ming SO years at 5 per cent interest
means $4,000 a year interest; in
ten years one-half million, and two
and half million in so years, in
terest alone. ~r,v
This two and one-half million, or
fifty million a year, will have to be
raised by taxation, and will most
likely go east to some syndicate,
and will consequently be a total
loss to Spokane, and in so years
our children and grandchildren will
still owe a million, as cannot see
how the $125,000 sinking fund,
paying interest, will ever grow to
make a million.
Why not eliminate the bonds,
raise the $4,000 a year and spend
them in Spokane for park pur-
poses-say one-half millionan the
next 10 years for land and Ito mil

commissioners promise shall be To-

This is the conviction of Superior

opportunity to study the problems

strength of his convictions, too.
When Judge Ronald first entered

of having more divorces in proper

ditiOn worried the new magistrate.
He thought over it a long time
and finally threw down the gaunt-

divorce from Judge Ronald on the
grounds of desertion or non-support
unless
She shall first send her worth

The Tears in Books.

1t Is not hard to understand why,
when a book makes you laugh, you
want to read it, and to read it over and
over again But 1t is rather puzzling
to find that one also enjoys reading
and rereadiug books that make one
want to cry. What can there be in us
that likes to be made to feel unhappy +?
In real life we don't try to do things
that will make us suffer-not at all!
But there are books that you cannot
think Of once you have read them
without tears coming to your eyes, and
yet you will find that you love those
books perhaps more than any others.
To feel deeply is one Of the best
things in life. and there maybe lies
the explanation of why we do love
sad stories. They make us unhappy
In way, but they do not leave behind
any bitterness or sense Of personal
loss. And they usually have special
beauty Of their own.-St. Nicholas
