PROPER WAY TO WEAR SHOES.

A Dealer Gives a Recipe for Prolonging
Their Usefulness.
Chicago Mail.
People who feel that their shoes wear out
too quickly should heed the words of a Chi
cago dealer who told ld1 reporter that
there isn't one man in five hundred who knows
how to wear Shoes sThe average man brys
pair of Shoes" the dealer said, s'wears them
until they are no longer presentable and then
throWs them away and buys another pair.
man ought, to have at least two pairs of shoes
Tor everyday wear, and no pair should be
worn two days in succession. AT first thought
this may strike you as a scheme to benefit the
shoe dealer, but it is nothing of the kind. In
fact such plan would injure the shoe busi-
ness. Two pairs of shoes worn alternately
Will last three times as long as single pair
Inc saving, OF course, is made in the wearing
OF the leather. A pair of shoes worn every
DAY goes to pieces more than twice as fast as
a p par worn every second day. No two pair
lit the feet in exactly the same way In one
pair the strain and wear of the leather falls
heaviest upon one particular part of the shoe
and in another the greatest wear and tear falls
upon another part altogether. l took a trip
through Europe last summer, and in several
places was surprised to find the shoes worn
by peasants to have no right and left dis
tinctions, but are worn on either foot
81 was told that such shoes were preferred
10 tnose which more closely conform to the
snape VI tne Ioou, because tney last longer,
since the strain upon any part of the shoe to-
day is changed to another part tomorrow

The Rev. John Mcpherson. who I'M
I'll q recent conference was the pastor
OF the A. M, E. Church, at Laurel. has
created quite a sensation in that usual
lyRqulet little town. The immediate
cause of his removal from the pasto-
rate was on account of the very par
ticular attentions he bestowed upon
other mems wives, and especially to
Mrs. Charlotte Cooper, a member Of
his church. Soon after he was expelled
from the conference, he ceased to sup
port his wife and child, and devoted
all his attention to Mrs. Cooper,
whose husband is employed In Phlla-
delphla. =. The wife with her child re-
turned to her parents in Germantown,
Pa, and the ex-preacher has gone to
live with his new love. The people of
Laurel are considerably excited over
the matter. and an application OF tar
and feathers is threatened.

When President Garfield was assas,
slnated In 1881, the patriotic citizens OF
moved by common pa
trlotic impulse, contributed TO have q
monument erected to his memory
some place In this city, 1t was stipu-
lated that no one was To give more
than dollar nor less than dollar, and
In short time 1904 was raised for that
purpose. The collections then tagged
nnd no more money was raised. At
the head OF this movement were Il. p.
Williamson, q. l.. Kahn, Henry b. Dun
can, o.. $. Humphrey, j II. Crabb,
Richard b. Duncan and Maury James.
Henry d. Duncan was made treasurer
of the fund, and he held it until Nov
Iomber "a, 1883, aud no effort being
made to raise more, he deposited the
amount In the Wilmington Savings
bank to the credit OF the Garfield Monu-
lment Association. The principal
with the interest added now amounts
to SS37.05.
A movement has been made to carry
out the original purpose for which the
money was subscribed. The first In
tentlon was to increase the sum to
So 800 that ereditable monument
might be erected, the proposition Mt
that time being to erect 1t on the plot
of ground on Delaware avenue and
Jefferson street, but at that time the
city owned no parks except one at
Eighth and Franklin streets. since
then the city has acquired Brandywine
Park, Reservoir Park, Kirkwood Park,
and Eden Park, plenty OF places in
which the monument could be placed
to advantage, but the most favored
now seems to be the Reservoir Park.
1t Is now proposed to increase the
amount in care of Mr.. Duncan and pro.
coed to the erection of bronze monu-
ment.
A monument that would have cost
ss2500 in 1881 can now he purchased for
$500. The fund cannot be used for
any other purpose than for a Garfield
monument. That is what it was sub.
scribed for and Mr.. Duncan will
not permit II to be used for any other
purpose. No doubt meeting will be
held In a short me to take decisive
steps towards collecting more money
and having the monument erected.

ninety years. He has daughter aged
eighty, and his son known as "Devil

other things. He is over six feet high,
