Race Was Fatal
To Bruce Brown

anician, Tony Scudalari, fatally in

First Theater Per-
Torrance in rs Yrs.
SPOKANE WOMAN GOES TO THE
THEATRE FOR FIRST TIME
At AGE OF rs.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. Mrs. Mar
garet Thompson Of Moscow, Idaho,
lived Is years before she witnessed a
performance in theatre. When she
attended her first show in Spokane
last week it was to see her son,
daughter and son-in-law in vaude-
vile act. ..a~- .,s.. @sa
Mrs. Thompson went to the theatre
on Sunday for her first glimpse of
footlights. When her children,
known to stage folks as Jack Wilson,
Ada Lane and Franklyn Bate, made
their appearance in the encore, they
caught sight of an elderly woman in
the stage box. 1t was Mrs. Thomp-
sons little surprise for them, for they
had not been told she would be
there.
How do you like it, mother?" ask
ed one of her "children.' But Mrs.
Thompson was too excited to answer.
All she could do was wave her arms
excitedly and express her delight in
smiles.
1t has been a wonderful week for
the aged Idaho woman. When she
grew tired of watching the players
across the footlights she wandered
back of the scenes, where fresh rev.
Citations greeted her. She never
seemed to tire OF studying the me-
chanical effects that are a part of
stage craft. She watched the plays
and the players from the boxes and
from the wings. But more than any
thing else she enjoyed getting &C.
quainted with her children as they
are in the life that is new to her.
Not the least strange part of the
affair was Mrs. Thompson's first &C.
quaintance with her son-in-law, whom
she had never seen until the moment
she entered the theatre. Then she
saw him in all the shining black Of
a minstrel man. She thought him
exceedingly funny, she explained lat
er, but she confieded the hope that
he would look more worthy of her
daughter when he got rid of that
"black stuff" And evidently he did
look better off the stage, for Mrs.
Thompson has been happy ever since.
There was only one cloud in the sky
that Mrs. Thompson saw that week.
She was worried on Sunday because
it was the first time in 26 years she
had missed attending church.

NO PATCHES ON my PANTS.

Oh! yes; I've heard about the trusts
OF how I'm being "done,'
OF how the wicked Tariff. too,
Is "robbing" every one.
But I am working ev'ry day,
And maybe you, perchance,
Have noticed that haven't got,
A patch upon my pants?
They tell me that am "slave"
OF "plutocratic" rule;
That I should vote for Wilson, and
The party of the mule;
That he will rip the Tariff up
And on the pieces dance;
But, please observe, do not wear
A patch upon my pants.
Once I was led astray; i think
1t was in 'ninety-two, "
When cleveland ran for President;
shouted for him, too;
Thought thered be work for ev'ryone
AuU wages WOuAU duVdASSs
He was elected and wore
Big patches on my pants.
I lost my job, and couldn't get
Another thing to do. .... -.
1 walked the street and everywhere
souphouses met my view;
And there were thousands, just like me
All fighting for a chance
To earn their bread, and ev'ry man
Wore patches on his pants.
I will not vote for Wilson; no,
With him I don't agree.
AS for his party, we'll, kind sir,
Once was enough for me.
I've steady work, have good pay,
And you may note, perchance,
I'm wearing creases now, instead
OF patches on my pants.
