trails once more. But I almost
forgot my own griefs when / saw
my chief. Over him hung an air
of utter WEAKNESS; yet, shame to
my own despair, energy showed In
all his actions. He greeted me
with smile which strangely light
ed his grim face.

kind this morning, sir?" in

In answer, he motioned me to a

hklAW & ERLANGER'S
LAUGHING TRUST" COMING

The return of the laugh-provok-
Ing Mcintyre and Heath to Spokane
will undoubtedly be welcomed by
thousands who have seen these
stars in the various representations
of the real "clllud" funmaker in the
past. Their new musical comedy
to be seen at the Auditorium begin
ming Sunday, has been built on a
most elaborate scale. with so strong
a sense of humor that 1t has be-
come known as "klaw & Erlanger's
Laughing Trust"

A demonstration of strength that
causes all to marvel is given in
the act of La Veen and Cross, en-
titled Roman Sports and Pas
times" at the Orpheum theater this
week. There is more or less refine
ment to the act, as well as a suffi-
cient amount of comedy to make
the performance funny as well as
seriously entertaining. The seen
act Is representative of the coun-
try about ancient Rome and is quite
ebautiful.

LIKE A CONGRESS

T. W. German has been appoint
ed a deputy in the office of City
Robert Farley. 1t is
a case of the Scotch and Irish ty-
ing up for the common good. With
English, Germans,
Scotch and Irish represented in this
office it can not be said that the
lines as to nationalities are very
tightly drawn in the comptroller's
office.

But now she was advancing,
dropping down step at time,
and her face was turned straight
ahead. The pink of her gown was
matched by the pink of her cheeks.
I saw the little working Of the
white throat wherein some sobs
seemed sitting. And SO she went
away and left me.

Yuletide Proverbs

The wise man begs to express much

entire clentele' may enjoy the merriest
Of merry Christmases.
The universal spread OF dolldom and
drumdom Is infinitely preferable to

be polished on Christmas day,
A royal train believe me- is the
reindeer equipage of good old ST Nick.
A Christmas motto:
His heart and hand both open and

For what things he has he gives,
what things he shows,
Yet give he not till judgment guide

not share in the Christmas good will.
Sweet mercy is nobilities true

Making Appropriate Gifts.

The year just closing has been SO
prosperous that the spirit of philan-
thrOpY will find very large expression
Ia the giving Of Christmas cheer at
home and abroad, writes Cyrur p.
Jones in Success. The transatlantic
mails are already burdened with the
money letters sent from America TO
1.-THE old folks at home"
Next to tue gifts which brighten
the home or the American citizen,
those given to worthy charity are i'm
portant TO consider. Too many people
give indiscriminately. They mean
well, but SO did the committee which
sent $40. 900 worth OF fireworks TO the
Irish famine sufferers.
Still others give something Of no
value whatever. An instance of this
was made manifest at public gather
ing in New York where one of the
speakers called attention To the suf-
ferers from a prolonged strike and
suggested the advisabil!ty OF giving
them something. One in the sym
pathetic audience got up and said. II
move that we give then three cheers"
Let us select Our gifts with reference
To their apprOpllten .SS AMI utility.

The Holiday Of Humanity

Christmas is indeed the holiday OF
humanity and by that token n0 less
Interesting than humanity itself.
The rich current Of its observance
has To carry all the requests OF other
ages-their ideals, their hopes, their
recOllectiObs, the beliefs that had won
the right TO live, the gracious, Joyous
customs which had won the same
right by helping or heartening men,
as well as all that our age Can CEN
tribute 10 IL from the material, artfs-
tic and spiritual side. The modern
feeling has made a place, az the feel
ing OF each age Is sure To do, for the
mood OF carnival as we'll as the mood
OF faith. 1tcan wea We into the fabric
of the holiday time the little specta-
cies OF fireside felicity, the affection
ate pledges Of friends. the cheer of
the loaded family board or banquet
table, the taper lights and organ
music Of cathedrals, the offerings OF
music and the drama and all the
noble product OF the artist and art
isan. In a sense Christenlom takes
inventory Of itself at this time in
each Of its Thousand activities.
One of the benefactiOnS OF the holt
day is that i. gives men the chance to
do this aud puts them in the mood to
do it. II is the last and greatest
"truce OF God" The pause IL i'm
poses is not SO much on wars alarm,
although the din OF conflict grows
ever feebler the while the message of
good will unto men" deepens into
deed and custom, as it Is on the alb
sOrpLio IS and distractions of an age
SO wrapped up In its pursuits that it
hardly has time to LOOK about it. At
ChrisJmastide men do look about
them. That its atmosphere could
make tad man out of good one or
a generous man out Of selfish one Is
one of the paradoxes whereof perhaps
we must look To the genial ficJi0n of
Dickens for complete vertication.
Bat it does make men kinder, more
thoughtful, more serene. than their
wont.

He Was Not In the coIored Porter'0

 A southerner noted for the liberality of his tips stopped at Baltimore ho- tel where negro porters predominated. His name was speedily known to every member of the serving fraternity and his every wish anticipated. Soon after his arrival he sent his card to friend who made his home ill the hotel, but whose temperament happened to be quite the opposite of that of his open handed caller-retiring, not given to tipping or any other form of socia- bility and who therefore lived almost unknown to those about him.
 The old darky who received the card studied 1t for a full minute.

An Experience the Composer Had In a
 Country Inn.
 On one occasion Rousseau composed an opera. which was performed be- fore King Louis XIV and met with the royal approval The king sent for him. and if he had put in an appear ance he would probably have obtained a pensica. He was, however, of re- tiring disposition and could not bring himself to face the court To his friends he gave as a reason his repub, Iican opinions, but his real reason was his shyness.
 Accordingly he fled from the court and sought the privacy of a country inn. While he was there a man came in who began telling the company that he was the celebrated Rousseau and proceeded to give an account of the opera, which, he said, had been performed before the king with great success.
 Most men in Rousseau's position would have felt nothing but contempt for the impostor, but this extraordina- ry man felt only pity and shame. ''I trembled and blushed so," he tells us in his Confessions ''for fear the man should be found out that it might have been thought that I was the impostoF." He was afraid that somebody might come in who knew him and expose the pretender. At last he could bear it no longer and slipped out unobseryed.
 Very few people would treat an impostor like Westminster Ga Zette.

THE SETTING SUN.

When Vulcan Sailed 1t Round tho
 Ocean So It Could Rise Again.
 The ancients had some queer theories whereby they sought to explain the rising and setting of the sun. They thought the earth to be fiat and were greatly puzzled to know how the same sun which plunged into the ocean at a fabulous distance in the west could reappear the next morning at an equal. ly great distance in the east. A num- Der of remarkable theories were ad- vanced. and every one of them was wrong.
 Mythologists of old asserted that after the sun had dipped in the west ern ocean at sunset (the Iberians and other ancient nations actually imagined that they could hear the hissing of the waters when the glowing globe was plunged therein) he was seized by Vul- can and placed in a golden goblet. This strange craft, with it's astonishing cargo, navigated the ocean by north erly course so as to reach the east again in time for sunrise the follow ing morning.
 Among the more sober physicists of old, as related by Aristotle, it was be- lieved that in some manner the sun was conveyed by night across the northern regions and that darkness was due to mountains which screened off the sunbeams during the voyage.

The Elephants $ Revenoa.


 I'm the autobiography ot Mir. I.lndley Murray a passage occurs from which lt appears that one of he dearest heads that ever engaged in the busi- ness of analysis was we'll nigh cracked by simple agent for small offense. ID the year l771 he visited the ele- plants at the queens palace and. from whatever motive. vPntured to with draw portion of the hay which one of them had been collecting with his proboscis on the floor. The little af- front offended the sagacious animal highly. The keeper remarked that he would never forget, and 1t was obvious from the rapid convolutions of hia trunk that he only wanted an Oppor- tunity to avenge the misappropriation of bis property on the spot. The gram marian. however. kept out of his way, probably thinking no more of the mat ter. until he chanced to revisit the same place after an interval of several weeks. On this occasion a number of other persons were present. but of the whole the elephant singled out his en- emy and aimed a desperate blow at his head. which. fortunately, neither prov ed fatal nor took effect.

When Anders Jacobsen states that he has a remedy that is guaranteed to cure any man or woman who suffers from food fermentation which causes belohing, sour stomach, gas eructa- tions, heartburn and that lump of lead feeling in the abdomen or money back, what are the poor stomach sufferers in Stafford Springs and vicinity going to do about it?
 The name of this most remarkable stomach prescription is Mi-o.na. Most people call them Mi o-na stom ach tablets beoaUse they know that there is no remedy so good for indi- gession CT stomach disorders.
