Probably the largest job Of out
door illumination ever undertaken
was that carried out not long ago at
st. Joseph. Mo, at a combined mill
tary tournament and cattle show. The
size OF the arena was $50 feet by 227
feet. making a total area OF 1O2,l5O
square feet. The space was illumi-
nateu by 1877 multiple alternating
current arc lamps on 11O-volt cir
cults. The lamps were suspended
ON span wires stretched across the
arena. supported by poles placed en-
tirely outside of the inclosure. Par
allel with each span wire were the two
wires which supplied energy to the
lamps. The span cable was five-sis-
teenths of an inch and was anchored
at each end Dy guy anchors. The il
Elimination compared favorably with
that OF common indoor lighting, and
it was possible to distinguish faces
from one side OF the arena to the
other.

CALF OF LEG TORN
OFF BY HUGE SHARK

First Lieut.. James II. Stewart,
passenger aboard the transport Logan
en- route to the United States. had the
unusual experience while in the Phil
ippines to lose the calf Of his leg in
the NAV Of a shark. The following
story of the occurrence is taken from
the Washington Star:
WASHINGTON, July Is. Lieut..
James II. Stewart, II. OF the Philip
pine constabuiary is lying in the Civil
Hospital at Manila IN danger Of his
life. According to a report received at
the war department, he was attacked
by a shark several weeks ago while
swimming off Polinao Point. a hundred
meters from shore, and lost the calf Of
one of his legs He was taken to the
Civil Hospital at Manila for treatment
1t is believed that his life can be saved
if blood poisoning does not set in.
Lieutenant Stewart is an excellent
swimmer. He entered the water for a
deep-water swim. and when out about
one hundred meters noticed a shark
swimming parallel with him. He at
once turned for the shore, and at the
same time splashlng water al the "man-
eater "a big twenty-foot fish-for the
purpose Of frightening it off. For a
while the big fin of the fish followed at
the same distance. but suddenly It dis
appeared. and from the rush of water
around him Stewart knew that the fish
was making a circle preparatory to
diving.
Stewart held his breath and stopped
swimming. He began TO tread water
and look around him to await the at
tack he expected to be made. UneX-
pcctedlv the shark rose right under him
and seized him by the calf of the leg
and again Owed to the depths below,
carving him with it.
The teeth of the sharg dug deep into
the flesh, and for time all the lieuten-
ant : struggles were in vain. With the
water strangling him he struggled for
life against the big brute, striking it in
the head with the other foot aud with
his fists. In this way he finally, with
supreme effort, tore himself loose,
leaving the muscles of his leg in tho
NAV of the shark.
Striking ont with all his might. he

-pouud OF flesh did not follow him
| On reaching shore Stewart was in an
exhausted condition He tore up some
Of his clothes and bound up his injured

"CATHOLIC CHURCH TO

NTW YORK, Oct. 11.-Cardinal
Logue, Catholic primate of Ire
land, in public statement today
upheld the aims and purposes OF
Roman Catholicism by declaring
that the Catholic church, because
of its fundamental teachings, is to
be Americas salvation.
Because it's cardinal principles
are more vitality christian than
those of other creeds," said Cardi-
nal Logue, Catholicism will be
Americas salvation. The church
strikes at the very root of thou
sands tending to bring about ma
tional decay"
The cardinal intimated what he
believed to be Americas besetting
sins and among these he included
divorces and graft by public Off
Gals.
Against such evil influences"
said the cardinal, "the Catholic
church always has waged implac-
able warfare. Catholicism repre-
sents an application of deepest
Christian principles. l never could
understand how an intelligent
Christian honestly could oppose our
church"

LITTLE MOTHER

| infant sister, so an aunt took them
out and cared for them until the
father returned.
Then the family came to Spokane
and located in the Union Park dis
trict. Florence was the Little
Mother" doing the cooking, the
baking, the washing, the sewing
and multitudinous other duties
which fall to the lot of the woman
of the house."
Father Parker secured work at
his trade and as soon as he could
afford it he hired a housekeeper, a
Mrs. Hank, herself a widow with
two children. Then Florence got a
little respite from her hard labors,
but she still played the mother to
the little brood.
Then came disease. Typhoid
fever invaded the little family, and
father, housekeeper, sister Jessie,
aged seven; brother Leroy, aged 4,
and the youngest child of Mrs.
Hank, a boy Of six, were stricken.
Again Florence came to the front.
For days, before the condition OF
the family became known to the
neighbors, she did all the work In
that household of sickness. She
cared for the children net yet at
tackled by disease and at nights she
nursed the five sick ones.
Florence was not only the mother,
the worker, the car tender of the
family, but she was as we'll the en-
tire hospital corps.
But the neighbors learned OF the
state of affairs, and the county and
city authorities were notified. 2 The
case was so manifestly deserving
one that relief was promptly given,
and nurse was supplied. e1on
Florence's load was lifted again.
Not al, but a good part. ~ pns
And now the little familyiis re-

That's the big thing for Florence
there is no break in the family.
Dozens of neighbors have offered to
adopt the children. But Florence
says most emphatically moi" She
will care for them.
And now comes the most remark
able part of the story.
Never was a more Clearly, bright

are guarding the railway property,
crowded around them and ordered
them to move on. The troops had
orders to keep all unemployed per-
sons moving, but were instructed to
use force only when necessary.
PARIS, Oct. 11.-Railroad men
numbering 100000 of the Paris,
Lyons & Mediterranean and the
state railroads are today consider
ing a strike in sympathy with the
walkout of the northern lines, and
the labor situation in France is
fraught with serious possibilities.
Forty-five thousand men and
women are already out and should
a strike vote be precipitated on the
other two lines more than twice as
many more will be out of employ
ment.
The strike on the northern lines
was precipitated by the demand Dy
the coal handlers for an increase
in wages from so cents to 81 day
When these demands were refused,
all employees, including women
ticket takers and even women
crossing tenders went on strike.
The Northern railroad operates
about 1857 kilometers of track. The
Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean has
nearly $500 kilometers and employs
approximately $500 persons. The
state railroad is the second smallest
in France, having only 2196 kilo-
meters Of track and 1920 en-
ployes.

In 1883 the only Jail in Spokane
was near where the Elks' temple
now Stands and 1t was made of
two-by-fours spiked together. One
day farmer was put in jail for
drunk and in the morning before
the jailer came around he was
seized with a violent thirst and
wanted to get out. He pried off
some of the roof boards and es-
capped, and on his return to the jail
spent two hours in looking up the
jailer so that he could get back in.
Along about 1S83-S4 the farmers,
when they spent the night in Spo-
kane, camped on the site of the
present Auditorium building and
near the north end of the Cres-
cent store. There they built fires
and camped in army fashion, max
ing the night ring with their jokes
and laughter.
In the early days Jim Glover,
one of the first mayors OF the city,
traded a lot on Front avenue, near
the city hall, to fellow for a
cayuse. The fellow fenaged on the
bargain and refused to swop for
the lot. This made Jim CLOWN

lot today is worth the price OF an
