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. DAILY™ THLW "Tn.st net a woman when she weeoeth.

Sept. 14.—Mexico tomorrow begins the celebration of her declaration of independence, promulgated in the impassioned words of a martyr priest, Padre Miguel Hidalgoy Costilla, just 100 years ago. All over the nation there will be a general holiday, with much music, speeches and fireworks—for the Mexicans love to think they are free, even if they aren't, and their dictator fosters the thought.

In a beautiful pageant, Mexico has reconstructed the world of the Aztecs, the highly civilized Indians whom the Spaniards found nl the country in 1519. Aboriginal Indians encamp in the capital and show how they live.

Czar will be seated alone is his summer house." The revolutionaries had wori over the youig captain after months of propaganda. At first allured by the novelty of their doctrine, he had become insensibly affected by it; and they had led him on until he came to regard the assassination of the rules as the sole deed that would set Russia free. But he was one of the Czar's trusted body guard and would not bring his cour age to the point of himself commit ting the deed. This was the plan: The czar was then summering in his Finnish pal ace, surrounded by extensive will ring the liberty bell. He will touch that same sacred bell which, when rung by the patriot Pardo Miguel exactly 100 years before to the hour, summoned the people to throw off the yoke of Spanish tyr ranny.

As he delivers this "grita," the valley of Mexico will glow with electric illumination, and bonfires will flare up on the sur rounding mountains. Hut with a new meaning, the slaves in the distant plantations, and the advocates of popular elec tions who have been imprisoned or banished will fervently echo "Viva la independencia." 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 The Man Who Saves Between the man who saves something every year, even if it is only $10, and the man who saves nothing there is a wide gulf fixed.

He wiped the tears away with a grimy paw. Under his arm was a bundle of papers. A good hearted passerby stopped to enquire the cau§e of the lad's grief.

Fifteen minutes later a small boy stood before the laughing mirror in front of a.downtown amusement re sort. His clothes were old and worn, and the wind whistled dis mally through the numerous open ings in his apparel. But he minded 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. I Will Help You to Health, Good Figure Rested Nerves By assisting nature in a scientific manner.

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. Women! PAGE 4
