Horace Greedy is credited with
having written the following
truth: III you want to keep a
town from thriving, don't build
any more houses than you can
conveniently occupy yourself. II
YOU should accidentally have an
empty building and any one wants
to rent it, ask them three times
the value Of it. Demand a Shy
lock prlce for every foot Of land
God has given you stewardship
over. Turn a cold shoulder to
every mechanic and business man
who seeks to make a home with
you. Look at every newcomer
with q scowl. Fail to advertise
IN or support your newspaper
that people abroad may not know
whether business is going on OF
not. Wrap yourself up in a Goa
Of impervlous selishness. There
is no more effectual way to retar'
the growth of a town than actions
like those enumerated Ham

Character In Shoes.

salesman IN a Sixth avenue shoe
store to me the other day.
81 have been in the business
close on to twenty years, and
have observed the matter closely.
A person who wears a sole and
heel on the outside toward the
rear is a passionate temperament,
one who is generally enthusiastic,
and one who does whateverer he

Such persons l have found are
not successful in accommodating
money. And evenly worn shoe
indicates an easy-going person
But if the toe is badly worn, look
out for the wearer. Shady PEG

shoe on the inside. He lives con

Frances Army Scandal.

n EIeuCtI uuNCl ollASSA h"A'A>H
Deserves has recently published {
a novel entitled "Les Sous offs"
which is creating q great stir in
military circles on both sides OF
the Vosges. The novel is intend
ed to illustrate the moral corrup'
ton which has honeycombcd the
corpse Of under officers IN the
French army, and which in time
of war would threaten tie collapse
of the French cause. From the
first TO the last chapter of his
book Deserves describes the body
Of French under officers as a lot
of debauched, INSCRIPTIONS, thiev-
ing libertines, who associate only
with the most abandoned women
and often enough are supported
by their mistresses, which go far
beyond their financial means, are
as rule paid for with money OBJ
tanned by theft, blackmail or open
intimidation from the rank and
file. Not holiday passes, Des
caves says, without its quote OF
fights and riots among the under
officers in the most disreputable
streets and houses in the large
French cities. Altogether, Des'
caves regards his comrades in
. arms as entirely given over to i'm
morality.
III About the same position was
taken not long ago by the French
10 Bishops when they were opposing
Il the proposal to enlist in the ser
y vice young theological students
u The Bishops were, Of course, per
