A woman carrying a little Papll.
Ion, mostly white, stoodby the
hotel counter while she waited TO
learn whether friend was "at

Does darling wish to walk upon

COINS TUMBLE OUT OF
OLD CEDAR LOG
WHEN SAWED

COTTER, Ark, Dec. PA cedar
tree yielded gold and silver when
a rip saw at the Cotter pencil fac
tory found it's way into the heart
OF the trunk A shower of coins
which fell about the saw took en-
ployes by surprise, and itw as only
after the saw was shut down and
an examination made that quiet
was restored.
Apparently buckskin purse con-
tanning a number of gold coins
bearing dates between 1850 and
1860 had been buried in the tree.
The purse and coins were well pro-
tected in their natural cedar chest.
Thee trees growth had closed the
cavity which had been cut out by
the person who had buried the
purse.
E. B. Griswold, manager of the
factory, is reticent about the find,
and the story has gone the rounds
until the eXaggeration has made a
snug fortune out of the treasure.

HOT CHARGES BY
AN IRATE TAXPAYER

A taxpayer residing in the school
section made the air blue for a few
moments in the office of the board
of public works this morning, over
the dliatory action of the city Off
Gals in looking after the rights of
the property owners. Not only do
some of the city officials permit
he property owner to be robbed in
unjust assessments for public I'M
provements, he said, but permit the
contractor to do oas he pleases af-
ter the work starts.
Il was assessed $10.10 for trunk
sewer on Olive avenue, and told
that was the whole of the bill.

$181.50 more, and | wondered what

SANTA CLAUS IS VERY
MODERN In SPOKANE

Polar bears, lions, tigers, ele-
plants and even rhiniceri all have
a place. Dolls have made a marked
advance in construction. There Is
the beautiful little character doll
with her shapely arms and limbs,
her character face, as full of ex-
preston and character as some
human faces one has seen. Her
hair is so natural that it almost
deceives the sight and altogether
she is a lovely creature. There are
baby dolls, grown up dolls, dolls OF
all nations and climes and, l was
going to say. all kinds of tempera-
ment. The little dolls of foreign
dress are quaint. The little Dutch
girl with her wooden shoes and
cap, the French soldier DOLL the
dainty little Swiss doll-maiden and
the darky doll.

SAVED FROM FIRE BY DOG.

saved the life of Mrs. Ralph H.

of the Terre Haute Tribune, when
fire destroyed the White home in
the night. White had gone to the

could teach or preach, or exercise
any public employment who had
aided any person, who had helped
the cause of the southern confeder-
acy. Cummins. a priest, refused to
abide by this law and preached. He
was convicted for serving God. The
case went to the United States SUI
preme court. They held that the
right to follow ones chosen voca-
ton could not be taken away under
any pretense, and this law was held
unconstitutional.
In California q law was enacted
preventing aliens from working in
mines, under ground. This law
was held unconstitutional, and it
was announced:
1.-The right to work is a God
given right and cannot be taken
from an alien lawfully here; the
right of asylum naturally assumes
the right of supporting ones self b.
toll.
But by the very terms of this
provision skilled laborer can work
on public building If he is an
alien. 1t invites competition in
skill. but throttles the weak and
helpless In its shackles
Spokane trade is largely with
Canada. If the miner from British
Columbia should want to spend the
winter Or summer in Spokane, and
should declare his intention of be-
coming citizen of the United
States, should buy little house to
make his home here, and IL he
should lose his wealth, and want to
work here, and there was work in
the digging of a sewer or in grading
streets for him at living wage,
he would go to the city hall and
see written in black type like the
inscription on tombstone, No
work for foreign-born men until
they have reached full citizenship
here You must be here at least
five years before you can be a citi-
zen of the United States.
Every true American for the
honor of his country, every foreign
born citizen, in defense of the right
to work so dear to him as he gains
his foothold in new country,
should vote against this instru-
ment. Every laboring man who
might seek to travel in foreign
countries and earn a mans wages,
should strive to defeat this pro-
posed charter. Every storekeeper
and business man who has aided
in inviting people to make this
their home should fight this char
ter to the last ditch. 1t violates
the commandment, DO We unto 9TH
ers that which We would have 9TH
ers do unto you"
