A YANKEE TRICK.-For tricks and
schemes to do little business some Of
oar competitors take the cake. THE
HERALD agreed with its contempora-
fies some time ago on uniform prices
for sale bills, but had no intention
that the contract should be used to
break our own heads. One enterpris.
ing contemporary travels over the
country in search of sale bills, and
says "You can't get them cheaper
anywhere else; ace have all agreed
upon one price," That's knock
down argument for the party to the
contract who gets after every man in
the county who contemplates making
sale, but it leaves those in the cold
who can't get out to look after their
interests. In justice to our own in
lerests we are compelled to inform
the public that we will print sale
bills and do advertising at the lowest
living prices. Call and see bills and
learn prices.

TIN SOLDIERS ON A LARGE SCALE

Great artistic excellence has
been reached in Europe IN the
manufacture of tin soldiers. A
German military officer has found
it possible to represent military
operations on a large scale by
their means. He has collected
$4,000 tin soldiers belonging to
every branch of the service and
completely equipped, and has dis
played them on platform in the
Ke spten barracks, to illustrate
a siege conducted in accordance
with the best teaching of modern
tactics. The scenery and other
appurtenances have all been sup
piled by toys in common use, and
the picture is said to be marve-
lously perfect. A French garri-
son, OF course, occupies the fortress
and naturally is compelled to sur.
render.

decrease the total vote, while an
other expressed the opinion that it
would have no appreciable effect
in that direction. IL tell you

HOW TO MAKE SHOES LAST WELL

have only one hobby, and that
is shoes, or, rather. a peculiar lash
ion l have of wearing them. ]
used to think that man got the
best service out of shoe by put
ting on the best pair shoemaker
could make him and wearing them
constantly until the leather gave
way somewhere, but now l think
it is the most extravagant way OF
dressing the feet. | am never
without three or four pairs of shoes
in good wearable condition.
mover wear the same pair two
days in succession, and at least
once month | 90 over each pair
with brush dipped in vaseline.
Thus, with three pairs of shoes,
| give eace shoe one day of work
and two days of rest. and the
leather has time to regain its elas-
ticity and stretch out the wrinkles
the foot has made. These wrin-
kles become breaks in the leather
when the shoe is continually worn.
The vaseline is better than any
oil for fine leather. I used to
wear out four pairs of $S shoes q
year, one at a time. The same
number now lasts me two years.
