When Mr.. Simpson returned from Bos-
ton, be brought beautiful pair Of shoes
LACED shoes, with neat heels aud pretty
toes-for his daughther Ethel, and a
unanimous sigh Of disappointment swept
over the Simpson family when It ap-
peared that these shoes were too small.
No one was more sincerely grieved about
it than Ethel's youngest sister, Evelyn,
who liked pretty shoes as much as Ethel
did, and who had been wearing pair that
could not have been described as any
thing but ''serviceable, though plain"
Evelyn was filed with conflicting
emotions when her father said: Perhaps
you can wear No. 8, my dear. If so.
you may have these"
Evelyn knew that though her sister
was six years older than herself, yet they
wore the same sized shoe-No. 4; but
she did not say SO. She set her pretty
shoe beside her own stout, roomy one.
The prospect was discouraging.
A little later Ethel came in.
"Why," she exclaimed in surprise,
"you can almost get it on? Try 1t some
time when your foot is not warm and
swollen as it Is now, though suppose
papa would never let you wear them II
they went on at all hard"
The shoes stood on Evelyn's dressing
case all day and suggested to her what
must have been the feelings Of Cinder-
elias sisters when they tried to cut down
their feet to cit the magic slipper. That
evening when she was going to bed she
tried them again, and they actually went
on. They squeezed the poor little feet
as II In wise, but there they were, on.
About midnight Ethel Simpson was
awakened by soft knock on her door,
and sitting in the hall outside she dis
covered her little sister Evelyn.
"Oh, Ethel-don't make noise-my
feetr' she gasped.
"Why, you have your shoes and stock
ings on, Evelyn. The new shoesi Oh,
you poor chi1dr' and In moment the
elder sister was bending over the suf-
ferer, who had tainted away, with smell
ing salts and o pair Of scissors

and watching the cutting of the shoe
lacing with interest, ~ thought If wore

It was my feet and those awful shoes.
II expect every one will laugh at me.
Why. Ethel, you are cryingl Don't. My
feet don't hurt me any more. and papa
will say when you tell him about it. IT
will be lesson to her,"
It was lesson to her. She never
wore tight shoes again, but IL her father
thought SO he did not say it when Ethel
told the story, and no one of the family
laughed or said word about it. A day
or two later package came from Bos-
ton for Evelyn, which contained q beau
tiful pair Of shoes, laced, with neat heels
and pretty toes and marked 'fours. -

wars for the sake of their own glory and

heroes Of a past age, but we are grad

ALLEGED ILLEGAL ORDINANCE
The Market Master Orders the Ar
rest of Several Meat Dealers
Will Contest the Ordinance.

Considerable excitement was OccaSioned
in police court this morning, at the an
DeaIance OF several of the leading butch
erS OF the city, who were arrested on the
charge of refusing to pay inspection fees.
the atfidavitS having been made by Mar
ket Master San6oval
1t seems that the market master. with
out consulting the ordinance, agreed with
the butchers that they pay their inspec-
tiOn fees once week. After reading the
ordinance. he learned that the fees should
be collected daily and not weekly. As a
consequence, he ordered his assistants to
collect, according to law, once a day.
Without giving the butchers notice. his
men demanded the fees yesterday, after
the meat was inspected, and were re-
fused as the agreement to pay weekly
was made, and the week was not up. As
a consequence he ordered the arrest of
Frank Brown. Ernest Duroff. C. II. John
son, Mrs. GaString. Herman Arnold and
Joseph GaString, on the charge above
named.
The case against johnson was first
taken up by the recorder and was dis
missed.
Frank Browns case was the next on the
docket, and his attorneys, Blair &c Hobbs,
returned plea of not gully. The evil
dence was heard, which went to show
that Brown had not refused to pay the
ices, out was not willing to pay daily, as
he had made arrangements TO settle once
a week. However, Judge McAlliSter
thought him guilty., and assessed fine
of S25, and revoked his license to conduct
business at public meat stalls.
As soon as the decision of the recorder
was given. Brown declared that he would
not pay the fine and vas confined TO pris-
on. Blair II Hobbs at once applied to
Judge Noonan for a writ of habeaS cor
puS, on the grounds that Mr.. Brown was
illegally held in custody, meaning. of
course, that the ordinance is not legal in
their opinion.
Judge NOonan was too busy to hold an
Investigation this morning and ordered
that Brown be released on bond until the
haheaS corpus proceedings are heard.
The case against Mrs. GaString was dis
missed, as she paid the fees. The other
cases will be tried before a jury in the
recorders court at 2:3O o'clock WedneS-
day.

The Trouble in South America.

VALPARAISO, Mar. 25.-The new
cause for trouble between Brazil
and Argentina, has been given at
Porto Allegro, in the province of
Rio Grande de Sui. A correspond
ent in Rio de JaneirO telegraphs
that the vice consul of Argentina,
at Porto Allegro, has been arrested
and thrown into Jail, by order of
Governor Castillo. 1t is believed
that this incident will cause a sus-
pension of the diplomatic relations
between Argentina and Brazil. In
view of the bad feeling which has
for some time existed between the
two countries, war between them
is not improbable.
