the railroad strike, the election.
the fuss at the city hall. and the
question whether we are going to
have hard times or a boom, Ald
yet, what else was there to write
about?
| got up from my typewriter
and went out and deliberately got
into a Seeing Tacoma" automo-
bile. There would be no story, OF
course, in the city streets, because
we see them every day and grum-
BILE at them; or in the people in
the car, because they were just
like the rest of us, which isn't
saying much. But why should
| care? Was 1t my fault If there
was nothing left in the world
worth writing about?

The car was one of the fleet of

up to the curb, breathing heavily.

SPOKANE, Aug. ca
young man kissed the girl he
intends to marry as they
were enjoying outdoor NOV
les In Natatorium park the
other night.
THAT ONE KISS HAS SET
THE WHOLE TOWN AGOG.
A park policeman saw the kiss
as it reached the full blossom
stage. He brought the OSCILLATION
to an abrupt end, and led boy and
girl to the park police station,
where they were dismissed.
Spokane citizens, like all the
wor. d, love lover. They are all
wrought up over the results of
this kiss.
Shall spooning be permitted in
Spokane parks or must 1t be rig
orously tabooed?
Is Burning Question.
That is the isues, which over
night became a burning one.
Wilbur v. Hoag. an auditor for
the railroad contractors here, was
the kisser In the case.
Miss Frances Osborne was the
kissee.

cided that spooning may be car
ried on in the parks, PROVIDED
THE SPOONERS KEEP IN THE
DARK-out of the way of folks
not spoonily inclined.
That's the view many Spokane
citizens take.
But the question is still un-
solved. No definite provision for
the protection of spooners has
been made.
Until the question is decided,
young Mr. Hoag and Miss Osborne
will oscuate in the parlor of the
girls home. where mother

policeman can butt In"

SHOULD THIS BOY
BE PUT TO DEATH?

He cannot be kept where other
children are. for his<s11Rerhuman
hands might strangle them.
From hospital to asylum he has
been shunted. No spark of light
has touched his darkened brain.
For six years teachers have
sought to pierce the she'll of his
formless mind.
But today, at 7, he's as helpless
as a newborn babe.
He sits in the sun, rocking back
and forth, knotted hands @clasped
about his uncomfortable knees.
Giving one person the
power of life or death over
another Is always "A mistake"
says DIR. j. Il. Tuckerman,
secretary Cleveland medical
society. 'Twould be the
greatest injustice possible,
for no person is infallible;
and who wants to take such
a responsibilities"
And C. C. Jones, agent humane
society, is trying to have" Charlie
sent to the Clumbus home for
feeble-minded, believing his
scientific execution would be a
crime upon the state.
But DR.. Venables belisves death
is the best fate for Charlie, and
Mrs. Smith agrees.
