Of the bully to shake hands with a
man on the same seat in the car.
Not only did Sullivan kick him across
the car. but a friend Of SulIivan's

Sullivan choked him, leaving finger
marks on his throat When will even
ordinary people cease to patrontze
this cowardly bully, who should have

waitress in a Boston restaurant?
There is not a more disgusting
creature in the country than John L.

pinching was INDUCED in by some of
the fair maidens, and lovers treasured
their mistresses' shoes, the laces of q
sandal being among the most coveted
keepsakes.
The shoes of the ancient Romans
were of great variety. Those in most
general use were Of cloth on a leather
sole, being somewhat like the shoes of
the present day. They rose to about an
inch and half above the ankle, where
they were tied with lacing. Another
kind covered half the leg. A favorite
sandal had the sole cut in the shape of
a foot and was held in place bv band
ages OF cloth or by strips of leather.
This sort of sandal was worn particu-
larly in the morning Another descrip-
ton of sandal had very heavy sole,
two inches thick, and was worn by the
common people.
Another popular shoe was made of
leather. colored. Sometimes it covered
half of the leg. Soldiers wore a kind of
sandal, the sole of which was provided
with heavy spikes. Toward the end of
the Roman republic fashionable foot
equipment was in the shape of glove,
coming up we'll on the leg or only to
just above the ankle, according to the
AaASg VI INC WedEeI. STOCKINGS were
then unknown. The customary chaus-
sure of women in that day was very
much like that of the men. Their shoes
were usually white, though sometimes
black, red, yellow, green and scarlet.
They wore very heavy soles to their
shoes in order to increase their appar-
ent height as much as possible
\ Heproach to Go Barefoot
Slaves in ancient Rome were obliged
to go barefooted as badge of their
servitude. They were called "cretati. "
because their feet were branded when
they were sold. or "gypsati, because
their feet were dusty. Owing to this |
custom free men were most careful /
never TO go oct without shoes for fear /
OF being mistaken for slaves. Maci- /
clans when practicing their craft had one /
foot naked and the other In a shoe. /
which style was supposed to be an aid .
to their mysterious science.
According to Homer the Greeks wore f.
boots from the time when Agamemnon

carries forward its organic evolution.

CHICAGO is to establish big prize
fighting club to Guido New Orleans
and Coney Island and constitute one
of the features of its Worlds Fair
summer. There seems no doubt that
the Western metropolis is cosmopolt-
tan enough for every sort of deviltry
on earth, and if foreign visitors miss
any form of wickedness with which
they are familiar at home, they may
set down the omission as an over
sight or as evidence that the promise
Of large profits is not good in that
particular line of evil-doing.

1t is not long since a large ship
went ashore at Lizard and finally
ground herself to pieces on the rocks.
The closest watch was kept by the
agents and preventive men, but the
next spring a perfect epidemic of
musical instruments broke out in
every village in the district, proving
audibly enough that the light fingered
Wreckers had been at their tricks all
the time. How it is done the ram
bier in the west country, who can
use his eyes and ears, will soon dis
cover; will agree, too, with the re-
mark made the other day in a western
village, that people who talked OF
wrecking as a thing Of the past knew
very little about it.
you see, SIR" said the weather
beaten fisherman to a London News
reporter, "a great deal drifts out of
wreck, and although there are salv-
age men always on the watch, there's
many cask and bale that's picked
up by our boats. One man with a
long pair Of tongs and another with
a water telescope can make a good
thing of it between them. There
was an Italian steamer, now, that
went ashore at Mullion. She was
full of fruit and wine, and all sorts
of things - enough for everybody.
There were great cases of champagne
lying about, and the word went
round among our men that it was
real pain with no sham to ii, for
when we did knock the tops OF the
bottles off all the wine went out at
one squirt and we couldn't get drop.
But at last we got the corkscrew and
then we were happy. Well, / had
cask of sherry wine out of her." he
went on, land / got it safe in by the
back way, and you see I've a coast
guardsman living on each side of me.
But, law bless you, sir, they be Just
the same as we. On, yes, sir; every
thing is supposed to be given up but
everything isn't, not by good way.
And when we risk our lives to save
the cargo, who has better right to
a share of it than WEI" He was near
the Mosel, he said, when she ran full |
speed upon the rocks, and the sound |
Of it was like Thousand tons Of cliff |
falling into the sea, and such shrieks |
as never were heard. Might he have |
stopped her? Well, perhaps he might.
But mate OF his who put out at the
-isk of his life and warned a big liner
hat she was too close to shore-she
packed off and was saved-never got
20 much as a word OF thanks. let
alone any reward, for saving her.
Another man." he went on, warned
steamer from his boat, and, as
I'm a living man, they tried to swamp
him for fear the captain would be
blamed for his bad sailing"

Besides their boots and shoes, the
Greeks had another style of footgear
which was worn only inside their
houses. This did not cover the foot,
being little more than a sole. Fox
muddy roads they wore large, coarse
and solidly made boots. Shoes of a
certain pattern were called Amy
cleides, after the city Angels, where
they were manufactured. They were
of bright red color. Even at Athens
many people went barefoot.
Shoes in Egypt.
The monuments of ancient Egypt
show figures of women wearing SAN
dals. Nevertheless Plutarch declares
that the people of that country were ac-
customed to go barefoot. 1t is known
that the Caliph Hakken, founder of the
religion of the Druses, forbade the
Egyptian shoemakers, under penalty of
death, to make any sort of footgear for
women. The ancient Egyptians wore
shoes which were quite remarkably like
those Of the nineteenth century, A. d.
In ancient time mans nationality
could be distinguished at a glance by
the style or color of his boots. The
Assyrians were always shod in yellow,
while the Tyrians preferred purple of
the tint known as OK blood. Shoes
among the Hebrews played an import
ant part in the ceremonies of life. If q
man wished to sell an article he re.
moved his footgear and did not resume
it until he had made the sale. Before
the marriage ceremony was performed
among these people it was customary
for the bridegroom to give ring to the |
bride, to embrace her and to present |
her with shoe. The Hebrews OF old |
took off their shoes when in mourning |
or when in the presence of any person |
to whom they wished to show marked |
respect. They also left their shoes at |
the door on entering their houses. This
custom is still followed by some of the |
Orientals. To a Mussulman a blow
with a slipper was formerly more dread
rul than stab with dagger, as it dis
5raced him in the eyes of his fellows.
The inhabitants of the Maldive Islands
seldom wear any foot covering in the
street, though at home they put on
wooden sandals or slippers. However,
t they have a visitor to whom they
wish to show Difference, they take of
heir shoes as mark of respect.
