TOMS EXPERIMENT..
Tom was in q dilemma.

Tom was in dilemma.
He sat on the rocks overlooking the
sen, in the very spot to which he had
5ccn attracted two. bours before by the
sight of Il scarlet jacket, and thought
over his pcrplcXitics, and wondered how
it would turn out.
'Ploguo take the girl, " he said, with
rather more emphasis than politeness,
as he ground a pebble into the earth
under his heel, "I'd like to know how to
get the start of her"
That was Just it How to ecf the start
Of Janet Stafford was what puzzled him
more than anything he had attempted in
n long time. He had tried, in more ways
than one, to accomplish The feat, and
every attempt had been failure. He
was getting discouraged
The way Of it all was this: Tom Win
tcrs had met Janet Stafford a wear ago,
\and had straightway fallen in love with
her. Now Miss Stafford was something
of tlirt, "a regular, born firt' was
Toms way Of putting IT, and she liked
to tantaliZc the men, and especially Tom,

had opened his mouth to propose, but
she always seemed to know what was
coming, and by adroit tact would
turn the conversation upon

AsPlea for Wooden Shoes.

If the merits OF wooden shoes were
better known, they would much more
universally be used, especially on the
farm. says writer in the Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. At o first glance those
having used them would think them
clumsy, hard on the feet. and very
cold in the winter. but after fair trial
your readers would be we'll pleased
with them. At least that has been my
experience. l can highly recommend
them to all farmers and dairymen.
They are most valuable, and do excel
lent service along in the winter and
spring. when the ground is continually
freezing and thawing and it is muddy
are far superior to leather boots and
shoes, for the leather will soak up water
and make the feet wet, and the boots
will be hard to get on and off, while
wooden shoes keep the feet dry and
warm in the coolest weather. When
the chores are done it is a simple mat
ter to step out of the shoes and into a
pair of slippers. 1t seemed strange to
me, when first saw them, that they
could be used at all in the winter, for
the back part Of the shoes was open, as
they all are, and l thought this would
let the cold air in all around the foot;
but by using them a short time was
delighted with the way they kept my
feet warm and com Portable.
OF course we all know that wood is .
very poor conductor Of heat and cold,
and for this reason wooden shoes are
much warmer than wooden ones. l
had an idea. however. at first, that the
heel would almost freeze in cold wealth
er. but two pair of socks kept them
warm during the coldest weather we
have had. 1t would be good plan to
take pair Of old boots and cut off the
feet. and then tack the tops around the
opening on pair of wooden shoes as
this would keep the ankle warmer and
more comfortable.
Besides this they are very economic
al. being much cheaper and lasting
longer than leather boots and shoes.
