DICTATED HALF HOSE.
The Peculiar Advantages of GIOve-Iike
Socks for Men.

'Digitated half hOse,'' responded a
CHEEKY salesman in furnishing goods
store on Broadway near Madison square,
New York. sob, yes. We have them, of
course; but ours is the only house in
town, l guess, where you Will find them.
This way, sir. There they are"
OF soft, nice-feeling material, but an I'M
pleasant mashed-tOmatO color, the mems
socks laid out by the salesman had bags
for the toes separately, just as glove has
for the fingers. The toes looked small
individually, but collectively they made
the foot of the sock look queer. There
was a disagreeable impression that it
wasn't really sock, but glove made for
some awfully mutilated hand.
But the salesman said the toes would
stretch to fit anybOdy's toes. And he went
on: They are invaluable for people who
have tender feet, and are liable to have
soft cOrns, or hard cOrns, or buniOns, or
in-grOwing nails, or anything else the
matter with their pedal eXtremities. Why,
there was an Englishman in here the
other day who affirmed that they had
cured him of the govt. Yes, I'll admit it
surprised me, but could / doubt the word
of a customer who told me a thing, and
then bought "a dozen pairs of digitated
half-hose as a sort Of backing to his state
ment? No, sir, should say not. WORTH
only $50 a dozen. Eth! No, sir; we do
not put in diamonds as prizes. That is
the price of the socks, and no diamonds or
chrOmOS thrown in. We would charge $21
a dozen for the same quality of hose nom
digitated, and the small advance is very
little when you come to consider the great
amount of additional labor required to
make those toes. They are woven, you OBJ
serve, and there is no seam that can hurt
the foot. Why, $50 is absolutely nothing
in comparison with soft corn,
and what would an infinitely greater sum
be if weighed in the balance against an
in-growing nail? No. They are not silk;
merely merinO. But to anybody who
wants that sort of sock that is just the
sort Of sock that he wants, and the
price is no Object-tO the buyer at least.
They are all imported. | don't know why
they have not been made in this country,
but l suppose it is because they are so
little known here as yet. We have only
had them for sale couple of years, and we
never made any effort to push them. Not
for ladies, so far as | know, but / don't
see why they shouldn't be made for ladies
Just as we'll as for gentlemen. Come to
think of it. / have heard that SOME famous
opera bOuffe singer in Paris, playing a
character in which she had to appear sup
possibly barefOOted, had her silk tights
made to fit her toes separately. But L
don't remember now who she was, or any
thing more about it, only that she wore
form Of digitated stockings, and that this
sort Of thing will be what the world will
demand and children cry for, though, per-
haps, not at the price Of $50 Dozen"

SMART GEORGE HARDIN.
How the Best Known Boy in Louisville
is Working His Way i'm Washington.


is Working His Way in Washington.
Washington Special to C0urier-J0uFndi.
One of the pages appointed by Door.
keeper Wintersmith is a bright boy from
Kentucky, who, though only about Il
years old, was unwilling longer to burden
Lis widowed mother for his support. His
name is George Hardin, and he came to
Washington awhile before the meeting OF
Congress. lie was seeking position
under the House, and made himself
very useful as a messenger to some
of the candidates. George had no money,
50 he went to the proprietor of an
clearinghouse, one conducted ON the eco
nomical plan, explained his condition and
asked for board until he could get work.
He promised that if he got anything to do
he would square up. Finally, after sew
eral disappointment, George got q place
as page. and on last Saturday he drew,
under the resolution Of Congress, his pay
for December. That night he called upon
his friend, Representative Phi. Thomp-
son. who has stood by George in his dark
DAYS. and at last got him place.
With merry twinkle in his bright eye,
showing that he fully appreciated what
he was relating, George said:
s'WeH. Mr.. Thompson, / got my pay to-
day. and as soon as got through at the
House | came by and saw Mr.. = about
my board bill. l had been living there on
q credit. and my meals were generally
made up Of cold victuals and scraps.
Well, pulled out my roll Of money and
said. Mr.. -, I'll pay You my board BILL
As he reached for the money he called to
a waiter, Here, boy, bring Mr.. Hardin, of
kentucky, quail on toast and small
bottle of elaret.' Always before l had
been George, and had to wait, too, till
everybody was served TO get my grub, but
a roll OF money made me tirst-class
bOarder right away"

A Warning to Authors.

new member from the West squelched a
lot of New Workers. He was a quiet
fellow, and had never said much, but was
considered sure for Cox. When the vote
was taken he was found backing the Ken
tuckian, and after adjournment he was
quickly surrounded by crowd of the Cox
men, who proceeded to badger him for not
sticking to their man. He stood their
abuses for while until they began to
impose upon his rural appearance, when
he Strengthened up his long, lank form,
and in rasping, cutting, nasal tone, pro-
ceeded to explain his first vote in Con-
gTess:
"'You see, gentlemen, some years ago a

A DUDE AT THE OAR.
How the Golden Gate Navy Had some
Fun with a Greenhorn.


Last Tuesday, while five of the Pioneer
Club siX-oar crew were sitting in their
shell and swearing vigorously at the non.
appearance Of the sixth man, who was
nan an hour late, a well-dressed and
modest young stranger strolled into 9
boat house and began inspecting the
equipments with great interest.
"Pll tell you what We'll do. fellows. y
said the stroke. Gas No. isn't coming.
suppose we coax that dude there TO take
row and bust him al up"
The Derpetration of this time-honored
Joke upon ''softy' was received with
appreciation, and the newcomer was, with
grand show of hospitality, invited to
take the vacant oar.
"Well, don't know, gentlemen" said
the young man, looking at his watch
dQubtfully. Ppm a stranger here. / dc

sob, get in,'' said No. ., winking at his
companions; "a little spin will do you
good" and they finally persuaded the
victim of their kindly scheme to take of
his coat and assume club cap.
'Now, keep your eye on me and try tC
keep time" remarked the Captain
you'll never, never make an Oarsman
unless you watch the stroke.''
'Hll do the best | can, gentlemen" said
the guest, meekly. ''Pm always willing
to improve"
The boat went down toward Hunters
Point couple of miles at easy, three.
quarter stroke, the new conner pulling
away manfully with the rest, and when
they eased off to turn back they were sur.
prised to observe that the stranger did not
appear to be quite so much blown as they
expected.
''Now, then, young feller," said the
stroke, with a grin, ''try to keep up with
the procession. Hit her up, boys, Hard
all.v
But somehow the stranger scratched
along with the rest, and though the pace
was something like 46 as they passed
ButchertOwn the victim serenely sawed
away, and the bow man even imagined
that he splashed less than any oar in the
boat. When they finally drew up to the
float, and while the crew were painting fol-
wind, splitting cotton and wiping theil
dripping faces, the passenger" looked
around with a childliKe smile upon his
unfinished face, and softly remarked:
"Why didn't you squirt her?''
''Spurt hip painted the stroke. "Why

''From New York, gentlemen" replied
the stranger, modestly, as he slipped OF
his coat and started up the wharf. ''My

Gorringe,s shipyard.

Commander GOrringe, who sprnng
prominently into notice from his success
full removal of the Egyptian Obelisk and
the ingenious appliances he devised for
that purpose, seems to have been equally
successful in his new enterprise as Presi-
dent of the American Shipbuilding Com
pany on the Delaware. He was of the
opinion that by resOrtlng more extensively
than heretofore to labOr-saving machines
1t would be possible to build iron ships
quite as cheaply as on the Clyde, and
wealthy capitalists came forward with
all the means necessary to put his idea to
the test. Unlike other shlpbuilders,
he asked for no assistance from
Congress, but went on quietly to
perfect his plans for the trans
portatiOn of heavy material to all
points in the shipyard by system of rail-
roads and using steam as the motive
power. He also set this powerful agent
to work within the shops in handling
heavy iron plates and forging the larger
pieces. To what extent he has thereby
reduced the cost of constructing iron
steamships is not stated, but the proof
that he has made some reduction is evil
dent from the fact that he has now many
vessels on the stocks and employs more
than thousand men. The latest con-
tract he has made, which is noted by the
Philadelphia Record, is with the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation Com
pany of Baltimore, for the construction of
an iron steamship 2G5 feet long, 40 feet
beam and SO feet depth of hold, for SER
vice between Baltimore and New York.
