CHRISTMAS. NIGHT. !,

His little top has spun its spell
OF music in the dreamy dell;
His wind-up toys have all run down,
Unite his shoes and bring his gown;
Tile blocks have tumbled in heap,
His head has nodded fast asleep.
And here beside the warm freight,
The quiet peace of Christmas night!
His "Chatterbox" has one torn leaf.
His little sled, his Indian chief,
His penknife and his flute and drum
Are cuddled there where shadows
dumb
Clothe them beneath the silent tree
In mists of gladstone memory,
And he is snuggled good and tight
Unto the arms Of Christmas night.
His hobbyhorse has run away
Unto some other land to play
Where fairy stars look down to lead
I,Tbe wanderings Of the wondrous
Stceui
tTr6 little train Of tin has run: Is'- - -
-Enturthe valleys Of the sun .','', 49,
Beneath the iills,where SHADOWS
tcreept y @7; VIZ. !:
Across the night Of Christmas Sleep
Such blessed sleep OF little child,
So weary, and so undefiled
That still upon his face he wears
The laughter of his glad affairs,
And in his fingers lreams he holds
The wooden sword, the banner
folds,
Still marching in his sweet delight
Through the green fields OF Christ
mas night!

was the keynote forced home to
all observers. The women
evinced that theirs was no part
of the inaugural ceremonies.
Complete divorce-as a theme
and idea-from the inaugural
was emphasized.
Flower of American woman
hood Joined in the celebration.
Society leaders in hundreds from
all cities trudged sturdily beside
humble housewives. Actresses,
opera singers and professional
women whose names are known
i'm every country, Joined with ell
thusiasm.. Senator's, congressman
and leaders of civic and political
life of the nation marched with
the women.
Pennsylvania avenue, from the
Capitol to the White House was
seething with densely packed hui
mainly. Grandstands erected for
the inauguration ceremonies to-
morrow were jammed with spec
tators.
The city was in gala attire not
only for the women, but for the
inaugural parade. Buildings
were ablaze with color. Inter-
twined with the guidons and PEN
nants for Wilson and Marshall
were those emblazoned "Votes for
Women" National and interna-
tional colors of the suffragists
were IavishIy used.
Women 'hikers" came from
New York, Baltimore, Richmond
and other nearby cities. The
largest was General Rosalie Jones
and her fO0tsore feminine ''army"
which completed its trip from
New York, begun February IL.
On the crack cavalry horse of
the army, Mrs. R. G. Burleson,
wife of Lieutenant Burleson, of
the army, acted as grand mar
shall. A score of famous horse
woman, including huntswomen OF
Virginia and Maryland, were as
sistant mounted marshals.
A woman's band of so pieces
followed. They received a tre-

formed women ushers. Then
came Capital women marchers-
over 500-clad in golden tan
caps.

ETTOR DEPORTED
FROM CANADA

Acting under orders directly
from the Canadian government,
immigration inspectors at White
Rock, b. c.. early yesterday de-
ported Joseph j. Ettor, labor agi-
tator, from the Canadian border.
No definite reason for the action
was given by the officials, except
that Ettor, as a labor agitator,
was not wanted in the country.
Ettor, who has been in Seattle
to consolidate the Industrial
Workers of the World, left for
the North at 2 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon. expecting to go to Vic
toria by way of Vancouver. He
was scheduled to address two l..
w. w. meetings in Victoria yes
terday, one in Nanaimo today and
one in Vancouver tomorrow. He
was allowed to pass the Canadian
boundary line, but was halted at
White Rock. There he was shown
orders for his deportation from
the chief of police at Vancouver
and from the Canadian immigra-
ton headquarters at Ottawa.
Last night Ettor said that he
intends to appeal his case to the
minister of the interior.

More Pianos, more Autopianos, more
Baby Grands, including the highest
priced Chickering's and Kimballs, etc.,
were sold by Eilers Music House dur
ing the month of February just closed
than during any month since it's estab-
lishment in business.
Isn't this significant record? In
spite Of Interruptions caused by politi-
cal situations everywhere, there has
been on the part of the business men
and women who patronize Eilers Music
House no hesitancy or question as re-
CARDS the future. The-little prices and
many advantages offered by Eilers Mu-
sic House resulted in sales hitherto
unprecedented.
In this brilliant record is found a
splendid Endorsement for Eilers Music
House methods. 1t is not a question
here as to how much can be realized
for each piano ON sale, but rather how
low can our prices be made in order
that the most may be supplied for the
money. The Player Piano Exhibition,
of course, brought many buyers. There
should be more buyers now, for the as
s0rtment has been still further aug
mented by almost daily arrivals. Many
new instruments have come, bought by
us so advantageously as to enable us to
furnish them for still less than our al
ready extraordinary low advertised
prices.
Nowhere in our establishment is the
principal of ittle-proft-per-piano sell
ing, which has made the Eilers Music
House the foremost in the nation, more
apparent than in our player piano sell
ing.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-03-03

1t has taken real effort to accomplish
it, but we are now in position to state
that our player pianos are no longer
subject to price dictation by arbitrary
high-price fixers East. We can sell
them now at fair prices, embodying
one factory profit and that only small
one, by Eilers Music House.
Free library service is also includ-
ed in the reduced prices.
There are over 10 different makes
and styles of finest player pianos to
choose from. Space forbids mention in
detail.
Suffice to say that $500 styles may be
had for 1896, 1915 styles at $444, 800
styles at 1886, 1900 styles at $675 and
the fanciest $1025 and $1100 instru-
ments are now only 1915 and 1915 re-
spectively.
/. Baby Grands show still greater rela-
tive reduction.
We are particularly anxious to close
out some of the very finest Grand
pianos. The small size, as shown in our
window, is reduced $685., the very fancy
art styles go for 1922 and 1912 less than
usual retail value. See them.
Numerous other makes of Baby Par
Tor Grands are also to be had at prices
reduced so low that buying becomes a
positive duty.
Buy when the prices are low. The
country is solid. The future is surely
bright for all of us living on the Pacific
Coast. Don't fail to get a good piano

PRINCETON, N. j., March B.
Giving way to his emotions,
Woodrow Wilson wept when he
left for Washington today to be
inaugurated president of the
United States. The farewell Civ
en- New Jerseys former governor
by all Princeton deeply touched
the president-elect and as the
train pulled out Wilson stood OH
the platform of his observation
car hopping his eyes with one
hand and waving farewell with
the other.
Princeton forgot all about poll
tics today and gave Wilson a
rousing send-off. AS the train
drew away, long line of stu
dents and townpeople, including
many women and. children, stood
at the station and sang "Old
Nassau"
The departure of the family
from the Wilson home was presid-
ed over by the undergraduates
of Princeton university.
Included in the Wilson party
was Mrs. Wilson and daughters,
Mrs. Wilson's brother, Stockton
Arson, and her cousins, Fitzwill-
lam McMasters and Mr.. and Mrs.

his body. The woman was angry at
what he had said about England and
she tried to kill him.
But he seemed destined for a peace
full end. He recovered quickly and
was again at work. He took particu-
lar delight in letting the English gov.
eminent believe that he was involved
in every attempt to use dynamite to
shatter English institutions and peace
of mind whether or not he was mixed
up in the attempts. For that reason
he got the title "Dynamiter.'
His story of sufferings in prison has
been told and retold all over America,
and on numerous occasions he was in
New England as the guest, of Irish So
cieties. On his visit to Ireland few
years ago, where he was given house
and government position, he sailed
from Boston. Before he left he was
given big reception in Charlestown.
But the prosaic, quiet life of Ireland
was too monotonous and so he re-
turned to his more turbulent New
York, his haven for half century.

wills from the safe one day six weeks
ago and took them to the judges
chambers preparatory to taking them
in court where they were to be admit
ted to probate. The wills were laid
out on the judges desk while the
petitions were being arranged. A
moment later a man unknown to the
judge or any of the court attaches en-
tered and asked Judge Dahl about
procedure in will case. He also laid
some documents on the table. When
he left he picked up his papers, and as
soon as he was gone. Mrs. Halloran
missed the wills. The wills would
have made packet of three times the

Suffered Inhumanitles.

O'Donovan Rosa is one of the most
striking characters that has ever been
brought to public attention. No per-
son suffered more and lived to tell of
it than this man. That he has passed
80 years after all his experiences is a
marvel.
When James Stephens began his
revolutionary propaganda in Ireland
in 1865 he found willing worker in
O'Donovan Rosa. That was the be-
ginning of a series of hardships which
caused more than one prominent Eng
lishman to be ashamed of his coun-
try's treatment of prisoners. Parlia~
ment finally had to take action on the
inhumanities. Sentenced to life i'm
prisonment he served six years.
His hands were chained behind his
back repeatedly At one time he was
handcuffed that way for IS days con-
tinuously and then followed % days
on bread and water. He had to eat
his meals like dog tapping the food
up from a plate on the floor. The
handouts sank into his wrists and
blood trickled down upon his fingers
time and time again.
On one of these occasions when the
shackles were in front, giving him
chance to use his hands a little bit,
he wrote on the whitewashed walls of
his prison cell the words, might not
cry out blood for blood?" AS a re-
buke to England when the news
leaked out-and in those days English
prisons could be penetrated by the
clever plans of 1rishmen for getting
ormation-O'Donovan Rosa was
elected to parliament on two different
occasions. p
OF course, being in prison, he could
not go to the House of Commons. Yet,
the fact that with all her power Eng
land could not crush out the mans
life, nor the spirit Of rebellion in the
hearts and minds of the people of
Erin, but drew upon her own head the
Goals of fire, caused an awakening
among some of the big men in English
politics at that time.

Shot in New York.

O'Donovan Rosa was released in
1871 after being in prison since 1865.
His parole contained clause prevent
ing his returning to Great Britain for
20 years. He came here, where he
found safe refuge. Received with
open arms, he settled down, and has
been here since, except for a brief
visit to Ireland a few years ago. Yet
in this country life was not one glad,
sweet song. He suffered illness and
went West, and eventually one of his
legs was amputated in Denver.
On another occasion, following a
speech denouncing England-and no
one could do 1t more effectively-a
woman sent him polite note asking
for conference. He met her, and q
few moments later he had bullet in
