Spokane, please be kind to it. 1t
might be hungry or thirsty, so offer
1t food and water. 1t is almost do
mesticated and will not misunder-
stand good intentions. The left leg,
which is off at the joint, may need
redressing. II SO, give 1t the same
attention and treatment as one
would give a human being and let
the bird go its way for other kind
nesses, for it can fly.
This is why The Press is particu-
larly interested in this robin: A
young member of The Press staff
heard rather unusual bird cries COM
ing from a tree near his home. In
vestigation disclosed the robin with
its left leg dangling. The young
man climbed the tree, secured the
bird, amputated the dangling limb,
dressed the. wound and placed the
robin back in the tree, where it was
soon joined by it's mate.
It is female robin. 1t got hurt
while building its nest. Somewhere
the bird had secured a long piece
of heavy silk thread to line its nest.
In flying 1t became enmeshed in the
thread, part Of which encircled it's
leg. In struggling to untagle itself
from the thread the bird virtually
sawed off it's leg.

THE FRESHMAN AND THE
BEGGAR.

An Irishman was walking down
the street one day when he saw a
beggar on the corner who was very
badly crippled. When he came W
to him the beggar appealed to him
for aid, saying, Would you kindly
help me, sir, with a small coin.
am an Englishman by birth and I've
been very unfortunate in me time
AS you can see, I've lost me ears
me arms and me legs, so ! am
forced to beg. SO a small coin will
be of great help to me-
So the Irishman, after hearing
the story of the beggar, gave him
80 cents and started on down the
street, but changed his mind and
came back and gave the beggar q
$40 bill. This, of course, astonished
the beggar so much that he could
not help asking the Irishman why
he was so generous, whereupon the
Irishman smiled and said:
Sure, you're entirely welcome tC
the money and it's worth every cent
of il for me to set eyes on you. For
it's the first time | ever saw an
Englishman thrimmed to suit me.

Eilers Removal
Sale
Continues

We were disappointed that our
temporary store was not ready for
occupancy today, as we are more
than anxious to commence the erec-
ton of our new building.
Perhaps we can't move this week,
and If you want the biggest piano
bargain in the city we are prepared
to serve you.
The special sale prices obtain until
every last piano is removed from
our present quarters and either
placed at the new store or put in
storage.
We will sell some of them at half
their regular price; others at one
third below regular price and accept
terms of payment as low as $40
down and SIS a month.
We are confident that no place in
Spokane is offering pianos at $12S
that in any way compare with the
ones we are selling at that price;
nor the ones we are selling at $167,
$3.50 or 1928. We are certain that
$500 will not buy better value than
we offer at 1896.
We merely wish to remind you that
the end of this big removal sale Is
near and you should not let this OPP
portT1ity slip away.

What is said to have been one of

was given at the armory yesterday

personal experience he was enabled
to come in touch with the forces
that lead to the great struggle be-
tween the north and the south
Judge Webster is the con Of a con-
federate veteran, but was raised by
a union grandfather.
His tribute to the VOLUNTEER sol
der was impressive. The speaker
seemed to think that in the case of
another national peril our American
manhood would be tested and found
to be true to its high mission. In
closing the speaker made plea for
Americans to get back to the God
fearing life of the days of 81 to '65,
from which we are gradually drift

Oh no, you are not solitary and alone
in your preference. About everybody
feels as you do, but once in while peo-
pie get restless and want change and
sometimes get it. When mills and fac
tories shut down and soup kitchens start
up, they are ready for another change
and get it. Once upon time the solid
ly Republican State of Massachusetts
thought it would be good fun to elect
Ben Butler governor and see what he
would do. They found out, and had no
desire to repeat the experiment. The

due to the tariff nor to Col. Roosevelt,
but was because the people could not stand
prosperity and wanted change that will
enable them to appreciate the unexam-
pied prosperity this country has enjoyed.
