New Amusement Requirements
We have before us a picture of the bleachers at Asbury
park, and of the crowd watching the Wrights' new biplane
climb to a height of
2500 feet. It opens to
the mind vistas of the
march which invention
must make before we
shall adjust ourselves
to the new amusement
of skylarking in the
Wright sense. Some of
the ladies unbuttoned
their collars, and many
of the men removed
theirs. These were
necessary shifts to
make possible that lift
of the chin necessary
to make the line of the
countenance bisect that of the vertebrae at a right angle
instead of at a slant of 75 degrees as when we look at the
pitcher's box.
And even with this adjustment of raiment to new condi
tions, the people look strained and contorted. The jute
coiffures of the ladies are thrust deeply down into the
small of their backs, and their hatpins are buried in the
legs of those in the seats behind. One feels sure that
most of the spectators will have wry necks and lame
shoulders next day. Much indulgence in such amusement
•will result in compressions of the spinal cord at the neck,
distortionsdistortions of the cartilage between the cervical
vertebrae, and by next winter the doctors will issue a bul
letin announcing a new disease, for which even now we be
lieve they are searching for a name, which will necessitate
A new and expensive operation.
Let the inventors look to this condition. It is up to them.
Some of the things that will relieve the situation are
Dbvious. One might think that the daily death in aviation
Would meet it by cutting off the supply of aviators; but
those who reason thus do not know the human race. And
the gyroscope-balanced aeroplane is sure to come, which
will be as safe as a boat. Then it will be worse; for we
Shall all be looking aloft for friends when we are not look
ing alow for them—half the people being on the wing all
the time.
The need for eyes in the top of our heads will not pro
duce them for quite a while in the ordinary course of
evolution. Those having eyes high up in the forehead will
survive in the struggle for existence until at last we shall
have them at the summit. Or evolution may work out the
problem by the preservation of those whose eyes stick
out farthest, and who therefore will save their necks from
the twisting from which others suffer. In that case we
may have pedunculated eyes like those of snails. AYe can
not tell, the ways of nature being mysterious. And any
how, it will take time—say a million years; and we per
sonally cannot wait.
As to the obvious things: Opera glasses and field
glas>es must be provided which will open upward and
show ns the sky while pointed horizontally. Grandstands
must be made with glass roofs which will throw the sky-
Scapes on screens held in the laps of the spectators—or
something like that. Bleachers must be built with tiers
of pigeonholes into which the spectators may be stuck feet
first and face up, the tiers slanting from the bottom to
the top so as to give all a fair chance to look. The reserved
seats and boxes may be hammocks or morris chairs.
The thing can be done, and must be, if we are to save
our necks.

had become insensibly affected by

would set Russia free. But he

grounds. They had discovered that
in the night a man might scale the
wall at a certai npoint and creep
among the bushes within fifty yards
of where the czar took his evening
stroll, between two lines of sen
tries. At the end of the path was
a summer house in which he rested
and smoked his cigar. At It)
o clock, when night had just fallen,
the sentries were changed, and for
three minutes the monarch was left
unguarded. During this period the
assassin might creep up with a
dagger in his hand, stab, and es
cape in the darkness.
The officer would give the hoot
of the owl at the precise moment,
stepping off among the trees. On
this the deed depended.
For half an hour the assasin had
crouched among the shrub/ within
the palace grounds. And at last
his patience was rewarded. He
heard a clank of arms, aud through
the gathering darkness saw two
posts on either side of a thin path.
Down this, presently, came the
faintest, crimson light. The assas
sin trembled with eagerness. It
was the monarch's cigar.
The light moved slowly tword a
dark, oval object at the end of the
path, and disappeared. The czar
had gone inside. Then tho last ves
tiges of daylight died away, and
nothing was visible; only the mo
notonous pacing of the sentries was
audible, and the clank of the side
arms. Yet, through his invisible
space, the assassin knew that he
could creep, straigh as an arrow to
the mark, the dagger in his hand.
He would crawl stealthily to the
summer house; one leap within,
three or four desperate stabs, and,
before the czar's dying cries had
caused to pulsate through the aid,
he would be away, scurrying silent
ly through the trees to the encom
pasing wall, outside of which a
swift horse awaited to bear him to
the waiting boat upon the Finland
shore.
All this flashed through his mind
as he crouched there. Presently a
new sound broke upon his ears. It
was the marching of armed men,
moving from another direction; it
was the guard. And suddenly he
heard, very clearly and life-like, the
hoot of the owl, from a tree behind
the summer house.
He leaped to his feet, slinking
without a sound through the tall
undergrowth, until the summer
house was visible, not 20 yards
away, and, within it, the red glow
of the cigar. Now was the time to
strike. His hands trembled so that
he could scarcely hold the weapon;
but, casting aside all precautions—
since the time was desperately
short — he leaped upon the path,
found the entrance to which the
monarch sat, and sprang within, his
arm upraised.
And instantly a lantern flashed, a
shot rang out, and the man sank
dying upon the floor.
In his death agonies he saw the
czar's startled leap backward; he
looked up into the faces of his
guard. He had been betrayed by
his confederate!
Then, loudly, from a tree over
head, the owl hooted again, and yet
once more. This was no mimic
voice; the owl itself had betrayed
him. It was an Intervention on
which he had not counted. Hut as
his senses failed him, he heard the
false hoot of the confederate among
the trees.
He had been three minutes too
early!
SPOKANE AFTER DARK
Little Things Which Happen While the
Night Lights Bloom.
By G. E. McCARTER
! It was nearly 9 o'clock In the
evening. The night was dark and
blustery, the wind whistled about
the street corners and played merry
pranks with feminine petticoats
and masculine .headgear. A tiny
newsboy stood in the entrance of a
shadowy olleyway near the corner
of Riverside avenue and Howard
street and wept bitterly.
The boy's clothing was worn and
old, and he shivered as the chill
breeze swept through the numerous
holes in his none too numerous
clothing. His cap was pulled down
over his brow and he wiped the
tears from his face with a grimy
paw. The boy was hardly visible,
but his sobs were plainly audible.
A kindly passerby stopped to en
quire the cause of the lad's grief. ]
"It's gettin' so late dat I can't sell
me poipers," sobbe dthe frail little
lad, "an' I'm stuck wid more'n half
o' what I took out. An' dasn't go
home till I sell dem all 'cause me
maw'll beat me awful if I don't
bring home de coin."
The passerby felt his soul thrilled
with sympathy. Taking a coin from
his pocket he slipped it into tho
boy's hand, took the bundle of pa
pers and threw them into the gut
ter, while the boy vanished into
the night with a joyful, "Oh, tank
youse, sir."
Ten minutes later a tiny news
hoy stood at the corner of Sprague
and Post streets. He was crying

Public Showing Confidence
In Mark F. Jones & Son's Piano Co. at
Their Great Manufacturers' Price
Cutting Piano Sale. Eighteen
Pianos Sold the First
Day's Sale.
If anyone has any doubt about
the unusually prosperous conditions
now prevailing In Spokane, it is
only necessary to call at Mark
F. Jones & Sons Piano Co.'s sales
rooms, opposite the Northern Pa
cific railroad passenger station, and
witness the busy scenes there.
Mark Jones, the senior member,
was compelled on Saturday to em
ploy additional help in order to wait
on piano purchasers, Eighteen
pianos found homes in this city on
Saturday. This, we believe, is the
highest one day's selling record in
Spokane's piano trade. This brisk
piano buying at this old established
company's store is not to be won
dered at, however, ,when we take
into consideration the fact that
Mark F. Jones & Sons are cutting
prices in a most severe manner on
some of the very finest makes of
pianos manufactured. To use Mr.
Jones' own words, this is a most
wonderful piano occasion. It is all
the manufacturers' doings. They
intended opening a branch store of
their own in Spokane, but at the
last minute a disagreement arose
about certain alterations which
were absoluteyl necessary to be
made in the building they intended
to occupy. Neither side would give
way and the result is that the fac
tory people, whom we have known
for a great many years, came to us
and at first offered to buy out our
entire business so as to get even a
temporary location to display their
fine pianos. This, of course, I could
not entertain, as I am very justly
proud of the business myself
and sons have built up In
the Inland Kmplre, extending over
a period of 24 years—besides, Spo
kane Is my home; my sons have
their homes here —we are Si>okane
people,and expect to remain so all
the days of our lives. Then, again,
the thousands of good people who
have bought their pianos from us
for the past 24 years are all our
true friends, for we have always
sold pianos on the principle that a
satisfied customer Is something
more than what Is usually termed
the best customer. We say such
become "friends" In every sense of
the word.

It not at all.
His cap was tilted Jauntily back
on his head and the mirrored reflec
tion of his face smiled merrily back
at him from the glass. He was
whistling a bit of a popular song.
Another small boy came up the
street with a bundle of papers un
der his arm. He was fairly well
dressed, but his face bore a look of
disgust.
"What's de matter,
called the first small boy as his
friend hove in sight.
"Aw, I'm stuck wid me darn pa
pers," was the disgusted reply. "Dis
darned wind puts business on de
bum."
"Say, kid," said the first small
boy, suddenly assuming an air
business. "I'll sell youse out fof\f
dime. I got a brand new scheme.''
"Youse is on," said the second
boy, and the bundle of papers
changed hands.
Five minutes later a tiny waif of
a newsboy stood near the corner of
Howard and Front crying bitterly.
His clothes were old and thin and
torn and he shivered as the night
wind whistled about his frail form.
His cap was pulled down low on his
forehead and he wiped the tears
from his face with a grlmp paw.
A kind hearted passerby stopped
to enquire the cause of his grief.
Well, as a last alternative, rather
than reship all these fine pianos
back east, the factory people made
a tremendous sacrifice and selected
our house to close out the entire
shipment at the ridiculously low
prices we are selling at. I tell you,
continued Mr. Jones, the family
that does not clinch this chance to
save big money on a piano will lose
an opportunity that I question very
much will ever present itself In
this community again. Why, we
are actually selling the highest
class pianos at less than is ordinar-
I ily asked for medium grades, and at
a saving of $154. $168, $176 and in
| some cases, $200 and $284. I have
been in the piano business longer
than any other piano man or com
pany in Spokane, and this Is the
first time I have ever known such
big and actual reductions —and on
the best plauos, at that. There's
no excuse for any one now to go
hunting around for a cheap new
piano or some old, second hand In
strument while the factory people
are selling the very cream of Amer
ica's brand new, high grade pianos
at only $192, $200, $217, $234 and
$287. Not only that, but look at the
terms —as low as $4, $6, $8 or $10 a
month. In fact, whatever terms
suits the customer best. The Mark
P. Jones Piano Co. has never had
any so-called special sales In the
past, for the simple reason that
genuine price cutting opportunities
like this do not come hut very, very
seldom—if ever. And we most ear
nestly and sincerely believe In truo
representation of facts, and noth
ing more. In this case, though, wo
are not only helping the manufac
turers out of a serious difficulty,
hut we are actually saving to each
piano purchaser a handsome sum of
money and making more friends
every day—which all gives us real
pleasure.
Yes, sir, by all means, tell your
friends who are thinking about a
piano to hurry to Mark F. Jones &
Sons Piano Co., 242 Sprague ave
nue, opposite the Northern Pacific
railroad passenger depot—it's
money in their pockets.
