GREELEY'S SLIPPERS.
Made from Rattlcsnake's Skin and
Now Worn by his Brother.

Port Jervis, February 6-In 1SiS
Horace Greeley established colony
in LackawaXen township, Pike cous-
ty, Pa, TO test the value of Charles
Fourier's social theoris. John Dut-
ton, now u resident of this village,
was an original member of the colony.
He had charge of the shoe shop. On
one of Mr. Greely's visits to the colony
he was walking across field when he
saw an enormous rattlesnake lying
co lied a few feet Il head of him, and
springing his rattlde Justify. Mr..
button was near and killed the snake.
1t was of unusal size, and Mr.. Greeley
admired the beauty and remarkable
brilliancy of the markings on the skin.
Mr.. Dutson tanned the skin after n
Pike county process that preserves its
elasticity and brillianCy. From 1t he
fashioned pair of slippers, and when
Mr.. Greeley came up again Mr.. Dut-
ton presented them to him. He was
greatly pleased with them, but after
the failure of the Fourir's experiment,
in which Mr.. Greeley sank Sic 900, he
became very bitter against Pike
county and could not abide anything
that reminded him of it, and he gave
the slippers to "A brother of his who
lives in western Pennsylvania, who
has them yet.

The Reason.
Woco Exaniner.l

The Waco Examiner explains why
1t can't run rs large a paper as the
Fort Worth Gazette, and says that 1t
Is owing to a want of local advertising:
that Fort Worth is u better advertising
town than Waco. The Gazette
explains that it has cost about $50 600
to put it where 1t now is and it is
beginning to reap its reward. $4,000
is large sum of money and but few
publishers can afford to invest or sink
that much money on the contingency
of success. because it Is contingency
at best. In the case of the Gazette ii
has proved successful and there is no
means of estimating the benefit that
the Gazette has been TO its town; IL
really has been the making of it and 1t
Is no eXeraggeration to say that the
Gazette has done more to build up its
town and make ii known abroad than
all other agencies combined, yet If 1t
had not been aided and assisted liber-
ally by live, enterprising and progrss-
I i've people all its efforts must of me-
ssity have proventof no avail. Fort
Worth and the Gazette have now
passed the danger point and the future
success of both is reasonably certain.
In Waco q daily paper must of ne
cessity depend almost exclusively on
its local circulation, and the local
circulation 10 be obtained there is not
sufficient to justify the publication of a
paper as large as the Gazette. In the
matter of local advertising it Is thing
that Is governed by circumstances;
some few business men do not believe
advertising does any good, others again
40 believe IL, but they want advertls
Ing ut less than living rates, and In
towns where advertising has been
