BRITISH HOLD-UP
WAS PHILOSOPHICAL

SEATTLE, Nov 28.-The rush for
festive rib steaks and succulent sir
loins was about over
Harry Null stood at the rear of his
meat market at 709 Jackson street
and ran his minds eye over goodly
days profits honestly earned.
c. e. Morton, the clerk, was stick
ing around, waiting for the clock to
say goodnight.
1t was while the proprietor was rum
mating and the clerk was waiting that
a young Englishman breezed into the
shop.
"You take him., murmured the pro-
prietor.
what can i do for your" politely
inquired Morton.
Calmly the young Britisher survey
ed the expectant clerk.
eli think Hi shall 'old you hup,'
responded the Englishman.
And, just to show that it was no
kid, the King Georges subject I'M
limbered a young cannon and leveled
it at Morton's head.

Then Muhl and Morton bally we'll
knew it was jolly holdup

Mouse Causes Smut.

PORTLAND, Nov. 2S.-Damages in
the sum of $4,000 are asked by Thos.
f. Plant and Hal P. Smith, proprietors
of delicatessen shop at $50 Salmon
street, from Andrew Bastasth, pro-
prietor of the New York Bakery at
East Seventh and Belmont streets, be-
cause in a loaf of bread which Bas-
tasth sold to them, and which they
sold to a customer, was found the
corpse of a mouse. Plant and Smith
say the story of the mouse spread
among their patrons and that their
business has been hurt to the extent
of the damages asked.
Bastasth, was arrested and fined
$40 by Municipal Judge Tazwell when
he pleaded guilty to running an un-
sanitary bakery. The delicatesseD
men say they went to him and that he
acknowledged the bread came from his
shop, but declared the mouse did not
belong to him.

weakness of mankind-the habit of
admiring bold scoundrels''
Mr.. Shaw ends his diatribe by stat
ing that Americas pseudo Irish are
still exploiting the drunken, good-na-
tured stage Irishman and defiantly
singing who fears to speak of '98 I'M
der the noses of the New York po-
lice, who are mostly Fenians."
Then, after declaring that his own
play, 1.-THE Showing Up of Blanco Pos
net" is a character study of Americas
young men of today, who are "hard-
drinking, foul-mouthed persons, lost
to the decencies of life," he predicts
that Lady Gregory, who, he says, is the
greatest Irish woman in the world will
triumph over the New York and Bos-
ton Clan Ma Gaels as she triumphed
over the Dublin clan. On being asked
who is the greatest Irishman today,
Mr.. Shaw declined to say. His tongue
is tied by modesty

bidding on the place, and there was
general surprise when it became
known that she had become the owner
of her former sweetheart's property.
The farm Is in high state of cultiva-
ton. 1t is situated along the Perkio-
mon creek, where Miss Jones declared
the love match started eleven years
ago.
The bidding was spirited, but Miss
Jones representative was bound to get
the property, and won.
Miss Jones formerly lived in Phila-
delphia and now resides in Upper
Milford township, Lehigh county, just
a mile from the home of her old lover
At the trial a year ago mss Jones
testified that after counting her for six
years, Bauer, asked her to marry him.
She promised to join the Catholic
church, she testified. Then her rom
ance was shattered, for his love grew
cold, she related, and his visits be-
came less frequent, until he stopped
calling altogether.

THE LOAN SHARKS.

The Technical World for December
contains an article by Fred Turner
Ranney on Borrowing Ruin, a short
excerpt from which appears elsewhere
in this paper. In this article Mr..
Ranney shows how the salaried bor-
rover is made the victim of usurious
loan sharks of the great cities His
statements and conclusions are clear.
There can be no doubt of the eX-
istence of these conditions. The
thing that isn't just clear is why these
salaried people should find it neces-
sary to get into the hands of these
loan sharks. In these days of pros
perity,' why is it that salaried people
who work faithfully week in and week
out, find it necessary to borrow on
their salaries to meet expenses. OF
course we know there are exceptions,
and occasions when misfortune over
takes the most provident, but this
great army of loan sharks could not
live upon these exceptions.
If the necessities of life were re-
duced to something like their normal
value might not those salaried people
have a sufficient sum left after pay
ing current expenses to keep them free
from the grasp of these usures? Can
it be the trusts are to blame?

1000 PLUM PUDDINGS
FOR INDIAN NOBILITY

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The list of pres
ents for Indian notables taken by their
majestieS is a truly wonderful one
Among them are as many as 1000 plum
buildings, which were made in the
Buckingham palace kitchens. The
mixing of these seasonable dainties
was a task of great magnitude. for
the smallest of the 1000 is as large
as full-sized football. The ingredients
weigh as much as ten tons, and scores
in weighing and apportioning them.

While delivering this highly inter
esting monologue the young Britisher
walked behind the counter and tapped
the till of $12 in silver and revolver
which the proprietor kept there as a
protection against just such char
acters as the holdup artist.
Thrusting Muhl's revolver into his
coat pocket and the silver into anoth
er pocket, the Britisher started to
back out of the shop
At this juncture Willie Hagan, the
delivery boy, returned with 500 change
which Null had sent out for a few
minutes before the English gun-wield-
er entered

SHAW STANDS BY THE
IRISH PLAYERS

LONDON, Nov 28-George B.
Shaw, resenting the criticism of the
Irish plays and players by the Irish in
America and Ireland, in an interview
today, INDUCES in vitrolic abuse of
John Devery, whom he calls French
man, and charges the Clan Ma Gael
with being allies of Dublin Castle, say
ing if they cannot collect gold they
are willing to accept coppers.
Replying to the declaration of the
Boston Irish Federation that they
know Ireland as child knows it's
mother, Mr.. Shaws says:
These emigrants left Ireland to
stew in it's own juice, leaving their So
called mother to starve."
Defending "The Playboy of the

..ALL FOR ONE-oNE FOR ALL"

Optimism, cooperation and good
fellowship" This should be the slogan
of the commercial clubs fthe Inland
Empire meeting in Spokane Tuesday
says the Spokane Chronicle.
Delegates from every section of the
Inland Empire will be given an oppor-

the district they represent The Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce is sponsor
for the great movement which is de-
signed to unite in one great brother
hood the cities of the great intermonn-
tain country to work for the common
interest of all.
Such a federation should help ma
terially in the development of the ag-
ricultural, horticultural, mining and
lumber resources of the empire. Not
only should Spokane reap educational
and material rewards from the conyen-
ton, but every town and hamlet should
be benfited
Not the least function of the conven-
ton will be advocacy of colonization
and development of all rural districts.
Such a meeting of representative men
should mark great forward move
ment in the development of the Inland
Empire.

JIM SMITH HAS EASY
 TIME WITH McDONOUGH

New York, March 1.-Jim Smith of Westchester, who gave Stanley Ket- chel a hard bout a year ago, chopped Mickey McDonough of Brooklyn to shreds in ten-round session of box ing at the F'airmont A. c. last night. When the bout was over McDonough was bleeding freely from cuts over the eyes and a badly damaged nose, but he managed to remain in the ring until the last gong changed.
 McDonough showed courage and endurance. and Smith was unable to knock down or knock out the man from Brooklyn. McDonough, despite the pink rolls of fat which wrinkled his body, could endure many hard punches. And what was more. he had a wallop. Twice in the session of boxing, during the first five rounds, he dropped Smith to the floor with right hooks to the jaw.
 But Smith was up immediately and showered McDonough with blows to the face and stomach. Smiths left swings to the body did the more dam age to McDonough. After the fifth round McDonough was weak and aft Smiths mercy.

A Mountain Tn the Skv.

Somewhere many mfleE away from this earth an enormous mountain twenty miles high Is flying through space. The mountain is known astro- nomically as the planet Eros The or dinary man has long taken 1t for granted that all the planets are more or less round in shape. The small planet Eros, however, is an exception to this rule. According to the latest astronomical information, it is a mere mountain in space, without form and void," and as it turns upon it's axis first one corner and then another is presented to view. These small worlds (few are over ten or twenty miles across) are not large enough to have sufficient gravity to draw their struc- ture into symmetry and remain as when launched into mmoth meteorites. A tantalizing fact for as- tronomers is that Eros passed very close to us about Jan. 24, 1S94before the planet was recognized-and that quite so near an approach is not due again till 1875.

Almost fascinated, listened as the great note rose higher and more shrill and died away again One blast meant fire in the town, two blasts fire in the buildings at the mfns and three blasts, the most terrible Of all,- disaster or trouble in the mine Once more, after an intermfnable pause, the sound came again and once more rose and died away. I did nos move, but there was a sudden cold. ness that came over me as once more, for the third time, the deep note broke out on the quiet air Almost instan- taneously the loud jingle of my tele- phone brought me to my feet took down the receiver.
