We make ten pairs Of CATERS or buttoned
shoes to one pair of boots nowadays" said a
shoemaker. Twenty years ago nearly
everybody wore boots
what was the reason Of the changer
There are various reasons. Caters are
rucb more handy than boots, AMI they Look
heater Then, again, they cost much les,
AID they are easier on the feet No one
ever wore boots in a walking match"
Any other reason!'
Yes on the shoemaker's side. There is
more money in CATERS. They are more
readily made, sell more quickly because they
are cheaper, and there is less waste leather
about them"
Have boots any advantages"
"Yes; trousers set better over them, and
for rough travelling they wear better. They
are not so likely to be pulled out Of shape
Where are boots worn most!'
In the country. Farmers wear boots
almost entirely. You can't wear CATERS in
a plou ,hel field"

SECRET THOUGHTS.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Good Cheerl
held il true that Thoughts are Things.
Endowed with being, breath and wings.
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings OF its woes
Like tracks behind it, as it goes.
1t is Gods law. Remember it
la your still chamber as You sit
Vita thoughts you would not dare hav,
known,
Aud yet make comrades, when alone
These thoughts have life, and they will 0y
And leave their impress, by-and-6y.
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes its fevered death
And, after you have quite forgot
Or al outgrown some vanished Thought.
Back to your mind to make its home.
A dove Or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have vital part and share
In shaping worlds and molding fac
Gods system is so intricatel
