"Don't wear tan shoes unless you live in
Boston," said great shoe dealer. "They
are du fat I'm that town because almost
every Bostonian is pedestrian and every
subur rban road is dusty from the limestone.
II you live in New York, Philadelphia or
Washington, wear patent feathers with
dark quilted uppers. In st. Louis or
Chicago, go rs you please. When 1t comes
to ladies' shoes, / am astonished Mt
the continual growth OF the feet.
Twenty years ago in st. Louis, Memphis,
and New Orleans we had steady demand
for 12s, rs and 2's. But all this has
passed. The pedestrian fad and the uni
versal desire OF women OF the south to
emulate the healthy feet of their English
sisters has increased the sizes and our
great demand to-day is for 3's and AS and
SIS on the ID last, with broad heels Stand
on the corner OF Broadway and Oliver
street any afternoon and you won't find
ten 12's and Is out OF any 100 women
who pass, whereas the reverse was the
case twenty 10 thirty years ago. And
Chicago cannot crow over this item, for
that city is five times worse."--St. Louis

Whitelaw Reid, the Republican nomi-
nee for the Office OF vice-president, was
born in Xenia, Ohio, in October "a, 1887.
An uncle, Hugh Mcmillan, ID. d., Scotch
Covenanter and conscientious man, took
the task upon himself of fitting White
law for college. As teacher OF classics
and general instructor DIR. Mcmillan had
a fine reputation. Under his instruction
his nephew was so well drilled in Latin
that at the age OF fifteen years he entered
Miami as a sophomore, with Latinist
rank equal to that OF scholars in the up
per classes. This was in 1853, and in 1856
ohe was graduated with honors.
Just after graduation he was made
principal of the graded schools I'm South
Charleston, Ohio, his immediate pupils
being generally older than himself. Here
he taught French, Latin and the higher
mathematics. During this period he re-
paid his father the expense OF his senior
year in college, and, returning home at
the age of twenty, he bought The Xenia
News and for two years led the life OF q
country editor.
He sold it In 1860, and in the winter of
1S60-61 wrote letters from Columbus to
the Cleveland Herald and to the Cincin-
natl Times and Gazette. He then be-
came city editor OF the Cincinnati Ga
zette. When the war broke out he went
to the front as the correspondent of the
Gazette. He had the post OF aid-de-
camp, with rank OF captain. Mr.. Reid's
letters were written over the signature OF
"Agate.'
After the war he became Washington
correspondent of the Gazette, of which
paper he had become one Of the !propris-
tors. In 1866 he made tour Of the South
with Salmon p. Chase, then secretary Of
the treasury. As result of his expert
ences on the trip Mr.. Reid wrote his first
book, "After the War; Southern Tour"
After that he tried cotton planting for
two years. but was unsuccessful and gave
IL up. In 1868 he finished and published a
work on which he had been engaged for
three years, entitled "Ohio in the War"
1t was comprehensive and complete his
tory of the part that State took in the re-
bellion, and included sketches of a num-
ber of the most prominent generals.
Mr.. Reid had declined an offer to join
the editorial staff of the New York Tibune,
but when, In 1858, Mr.. Greeley made him
a second offer Mr.. Reid accepted 1T. In
1869 he succeeded John Russell Young as
managing editor OF the Tribune. Then
came the Greeley campaign of 1872, fol-
lowed by the death Of Mr.. Greeley and
the ascension of Mr.. Reid to the control
of the Tribune.

A West virginia wonder.

West Virginia comes TO the front with
n natural wonder. In Noble County there
is, according TO a local paper, a fathomless
sea composed OF salt water and oil, from
which gas escapes with n tremendous
roar. Nearly twenty yes.rs ago a well
was drilled there 10 the depth of 300
feet, but as no results were apparent 1t
was abandoned. Some years after water
and gas escaped from the hole with
great pressure, tearing out the tubing
and cutting n cavern apparently hum
dreds OF feet deep and forty feet in
diameter. After some years IL ceased 10
flow, and farmer named Martz allied IL
up and built q barn over it, resting one
pillar on the filed ground. A few days
ago a terrific report at the barn announced
the-ex piosion OF the well, and oil and
water poured out i'm abundance. In a
short time the pillar under the barn be-
gan to sink, and was soon out OF sig ht.
In the course OF a day the hole had be-
come fsthomless and again nearly forty
feet wide.

INSTALMENT.

The instalment plan of payment has been
adopted as best calculated to meet the wants
of all classes, although our Certificates can
be paid for I'm one more payments by
those desiring to do so. The advantages
of being allowed TO pay for a Certificate in
small monthly payments will be appreciated
by the majority of those who wish TO visit the
Worlds Fair. and will enable very many to
come who. IL they waited until the "opening,"
would not have the ready money. Another
great advantage is In knowing beforehand
Just how much il will cost, and having no an
noyance or uncertainty To anticipate.
