soul,
No sunshine to cheer their dull day
No prize is before them, to brighten
the goal,
And often. they faint by the way.
Seldom they've scented the fragrance
of flowers,
Or heard the birds carol their song
Or fingered little in cool leafy
bowers,
Or followed the streamlets along.
Their days for study and their days
or rest,
Have been few and far between,
Little they leraned, though they did
their best,
With minds like shattered ma
chine.
In darkness and dust and stagnant
air.
They labor from sun to sun,
Their food is often but frugal fare,
And bitter the bread they have won
No wonder SO early, they languisf
away,
And their race is so rapidly sun, (
We never would wish them to lingo
nor stay,
When rest for the weary has come

Of a weak and defenseless band;
Strike down the cruel oppressors,
OF the children of our land.

And above the battles loud roaring

World-Famed Dancers.

1t has been definitely settled that the
world s greatest dancers, Anna Paw
Iowa and Mikel Mordkin, are to in
clude Spokane in the course of their
rapid tour of the large American cities.
Pavlowa and Mordkin, and their big
ballet, with their own orchestra, are due
at the Auditorium theater, Spokane, un-
der the personal management of Harry
Hayward, Monday, November IA, and
besides the two famous solo dancers
they bring 10 character dancers, bal
let numbering ~, and 40 men in the
orchestra. Last season the stay of these
terpsichorean wonders was limited by
decree of the Russian government, and
only New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia saw them.
Manager Harry Hayward is always
planning to give the finest attractions
to be had, and he is to be especially
congratulated on this important en-
gagement.
The character of the entertainment
they present is not so well understood
With the aid of large ballet of skilled
dancers and symphony orchestra, they
put on a series of ballets that are, in
reality, dramas. For instance, their
repertory includes "The Legend of
Azyiade," in which Pavlowa takes the
part of a captive princess and Mordkin
that of king who is bewitehed by the
wiles of his captive. In this they are
assisted by 16 dancers of high degree
of experience.

Mercerized cotton was first intro.
duced az substitute for silk some ten
or twelve years ago, although tho
process for making 1t was invented
about 1910 by a celebrated English
dyer, John Mercer, the Craftsman saya.
He discovered that when cotton, either
In cloth or yarn, was subjected for
a short time to the action Of strong
caustic alkali and then thoroughly
washed the resulting material was
much stronger than before, had shrunk
very considerably and had much
greater affinity for dyestuffs. Mercer
patented his discovery and made some
use Of 1t III calico printing, but tho
process was nearly forgotten until, In
1889, 1t was discovered that by proper
treatment cotton could by this means
be made 30 lustrous as to compare not
unfavorably with silk.
To make the cotton lustrous the

rinsed off and the last traces neutral

carefully, when finally dried the cotton
fbers will be found drawn out smooth
and lustrous, while still retaining their
new qualities of strength and increased
dyeing power. To get good results IL

whether in yarn or cloth, must be made
OF the very best and longest staplct
cotton, preferably Egyptian, and whel
we'll done the results are extremely sat
