Shoes Made for Fifteen Cents a Pair.

SAID prominent shoe manufacturer
to q reporter of the Boston Herald:
- Here is a shoe that may be said to
be made entirely by machinery. The
uppers, souls and heels are cut out and
formed by different machines. The
lasting, pegging, sewing up and secur-
ing the seams, putting in eyelets, and
even the cleaning out of the pegs inside,
are all done by machinery. What do
YOU think that shoe can be made for?
You could probably never guess. Well,
the work on it, not including any of the
materials used, can be done for sum
so small that it would astonish you. ]
can make and box that at a profit for
Z 1-2 cent, or Is cents pair. It whole
sales for about $1.2O. It is q good,
solid shoe, and will give good service.
Every shoe of certain size Is an ex-
act fac-simile of every other shoe made
by the same machine-that is, the
right shoe is the same as every other
right and the left like every other left Of
that size. They are put together in
more neat and uniform manner, and
are stronger and better made than most
of the hand-work of the same class"

Abe Wallace Tragic Story Of the

"WHAT's er matter wild yerp" de-
manded Abe Wallace, with not un-
natural petulance under the circum-
stances. "What er yer lingerin' around

Obviously he couldn't. For nearly an
hour he had strapped his razors and
moved diligently. but barber though he
was of q thousand, and, barber extraor-
binary to Leaping Antelope Run, he
seemed to make no Roadway against
Abe's bristling badge of manhood.
/" Eff yer razOrs wOn't cut, shoot 'em
off. Year me? Shoot 'em off," and
the handsome, sunburned minor COM
posed himself for the novel operation.
"Is the barber at homer" asked q
low, sweet, musical voice, entering the
door at that moment.
He started. No yellow water running
from his pan had ever looked as sweet
to him as that voice. Itpercolated him,
and he arose from the chair q new man.
The rough life passed away from him.
The crust formed by his habits and
hardened by his Surroundings was bro

"Permit me, madam, to assure you
that this individual before you is the
barber" said Abe, and his new dignity
sat easily upon him and seemed part
of him.

Sandwich Islands, said the young girl,
quietly, ''and our carriage broke down.

TAKE q stroll by night through Du-
pont Street, for instance. It starts out
from Market Street as a broad business
avenues strictly American thorough

restaurant, the virtues of whose cuisine
may be vouched for more safely than
those of its patrons. In the next two
squares open, Haunting vice. holds sway.
The brass buttoned embodiment of the
law stands at the corner, but he arouses
no fear in the painted French Jezebels,
who lean from their little windows.
Crossing the Cable Road, which runs up
California Street, one plunges at step
into q section of the Celestial Empire.
In the shadow of St. Mary's Cathedral,
which marks the southern limit of IS Chi
natown," are underground cellars more
loathsome than any dens of vice in New
York. Passing along the street one sees
Chinese stores on either side, hears the
cries Of Chinese street-venders, which
bear a strong resemblance to the wall
ing notes of the whippoorwill. and
catches scraps of the magpie chatter of
the jewellers who sit in the high balco-
MES of the restaurants. Stop moment
here at Washington Street. The bell of
the City Hall sounds for midnight. You
hear the expiring clash of cymbals and
soon after great roar like the noise Of
a dam breaking its bounds. In an in
slant, out of the wide-open doors of the
Chinese playhouse streams throng of
pig-tailed heather. They fill the side
walk and overflow into the street.
Watch their faces as they pass under
the light of the street lamp. Their
small black eyes are dancing with ex-
element, their fiat faces shine with per-
spiration; the sign-manual of opium Is
branded on fully one-half the faces,
while q few look like animated num-
mics with their parchment skin drawn
tight as . drum-head over the high
cheek-bones and falling in wrinkled
folds about their trembling lips. II

By the might Of her love she forced her way.
Swiftly through lane and through field she

And no man doth see or doth hear the dead.
With yearning love and with trembling fear
She has fitted across the Threshold dear.
Unseen and unheard she wendell her way

Like q cloud she brooded above his bed:
He shuddered and smiled at the touch of the

But he lives above ground to suffer and

And though she lay buried year and day,
She lived in his mem'ry forever and aye.
He gave her the sweet name he called her in

She listened and heard how he murmured,
"My wife!'
And vowed to be true to eternity.

Unseen she drifted through panels of oak,
And stood in his presence, nor breathed nor
spoke.
OGod, what a sight her dead eyes meet!
And closer she gathers her winding sheet:
A fair young girl by her husbands side,
And her he is calling his dearest, his BRIDE

The Dogs.

There seems to be trouble in assess
ing the dogs. Nebraska used TO have
law taxing dogs so much apiece,
Because that law was repealed, IL
seems to be thought by some that
dogs are no longer taxable, on what
theory or principle we have not
been able to ascertain.
The constitution provides for no
exemptions of dogs from the general
rule--"levying tax by valuation, so
that every person and corporation
shall pay tax in proportion to the
value of his. her or its property" 1t
becomes a question then whether a
dog is property" and has ''value." /"
On this part of the subject there
will hardly be any dispute. Every
man who exercises ownership in a
dog ought to be responsible for the
taxes on that dog, whether he be
assessed at five cents or five dollars
valuation.
The JOURNAL believes it would
not be constitutional to levy a
specific sum of money upon each
dog, without reference to value, as
was done under the old law.
We may state that the commission
ers have not assumed to give any
directions to assessors as to their
duties under the law.

DUNLAP-May 18th, Mrs. Sarah NJ.
Dunlap, in the 10th year of her age.
Mrs. Dunlap came to this place two
years ago, leaving a home, which, thro'
no fault of hers, was made wretched
beyond endurance, and seeking rest and
refuge in the home of her sister. She
was in poor health, having suffered
much from malaria. Rapidly recover
ing in this climate, she at once set about
earning livelihood and home for her.
self and children. Last fall she went
with her young son to Omaha, where
she expected to be engaged as a nurse,
whilst her son was fitting for business.
Failing health prevented her, and she
was beginning to lean on her son who had
unusual tact, for support. 0n the 18th
Of March, without word of prepara-
tion, friend came into her room and
said 81 bring you bad news, Harold is
dead" She had seen him but the day
before, apparently in the best of health.
Though completely prostrated, she
bowed submissive, having, she said,
fully learned the beautiful lesson of
submitting to the will of God. With
characteristic unselfis hness, she could
even rejoice that her dear boy, deprived
of home and a fathers care here, had
gone to the Fathers house, where there
are many mansions. Her last hours
were of intense suffering, and partial
Inconsistencies but she had committed
her case to the Lord and had but one
regret in dying, that she must leave her
little girl.

country, or for that matter, any
other country. They are different
in several respects from the stereo-
typed style of parlor cars, being
more spacious and more luxurious.
The dining car line from Chicago,
is, like everything else on the B. Il
o., of the very best, the meals served
being worthy of comparison with
those of the best hotels in the coun-
try. A uniform price of seventy
five cents per meal is charged, and
the guest has placed before him a
menu embracing the finest and best
that the market affords. The time
from New York to Chicago has been
lessened an hour, the through train
being due at 7.30 instead of $50 as
before. There is no material change
in the time of the morning train.
