Il don't know of any little thing in
which we have made greater progress
in recent years." said man. than in
the patching of shoes We used to sew
on all patches, and however smoothly
they might be hammered down, they
would show. 1t seemed at first. per-
haps, as though backing would help to
cover up the patch. but it didn't: it ac-
tually made it more conspicuous. The
brighter the polish the more plainly
was the raised line visible. Patches
are still sewed on. but mainly on chill
dren's shoes. Most of the patches on
mems shoes are nowadays put on with
glue, and often the work is so well done
as to excite admiration. The backing
does not bring out such patch, for
there is no unusual prominence about
it anywhere. 1t is shaved down to a
tissue thinness along its edge, and
down to that with a reduction of thick
ness so gradual and so uniform that
the whole patch runs into the lines of
the shoe. 1t is Il thoroughly workman
like and artistic job
II had been accustomed" said a
man, Ito lacing my shoes straight
across; that is, to reeving one lace over
and over through the eyelets, making
parallel lines straight across on top
until / came to the hooks: from that
on. of course, to the top of the shoe 1
crossed the laces. Just for a change
tried the latter way. crossing the 1aces
from the start. making lattice lacing
throughout. find this last way much
easier to the foot. and it seems reason
able that it should be so. 1t makes q
less rigid joint between the two sides
of the shoe; the lengths of lacing from
eyelet to eyelet arc uniform and they
are all greater than the straight-across
top length of the other form of la,ing,
and it makes a lacing that is more lex-
ible and that accommodates itself bet
ter to the foot in motion"
Mr.. +. NJ Holland, in his pamphlet
on Atheists and Agnostics," relates n
story of a sexton who, when the rector
asked why a rich parishioner had
stopped coming to church, and wheth-
err the trouble was Latitudinarianism,
answered.: mo. sir! it's wusser nor
that" Then it must be Unitarian
ISM" mo, sir! wusser nor that. ."
| ..Ah. perhaps it is Agnosticism?' ''Oh,
no, sir. It's wusser nor that" But it
can't be Atheism?' mo. sir! It's wus-
ser nor that But there can't be any
thing worse than Atheism" ''Oh, yes,
sir. It's rheumatism"

shows. These managers play their re-
spective comedies, ga Cold Day" and
"Chip o. the Old Block" the same
night and on the same stage with two
entirely separate companies, one fol-
lowing after the other. There is no
advance in prices. From newspaper
reports packed houses have been the
result They commence at 7:45 sharp,
and end near midnight. But as it only
happens once during the season the
public don't mind that so long as they
are enabled to see two farce companies
for the same price of one. These at
fractions appear at Concordia Opera

Dr. Souiday, of Course.

Nothing but harmony, of so pro-
nounced a type as to render the affair
rather uninteresting, marked he Dem
ocratic Senatorial convention OF this
district at Oconomowoc last Wednes-
dav. There was not the least suspicion
of any opposition to the denomination
of DR.. Albert Solliday, Of this city, as
the party candidate, and he was named
without the formality of taking single
ballot. The senator appeared before
the convention upon being informed
of it's action and made brief speech,
thanking the delegates for the honor
conferred and incidentally instilling a
little Democratic doctrine into his hear
ers. It is said, however, that all refer
ence to the "roster jobbers" and kin
dred things was studiously avoided.
The unanimity of his denomination
must be highly gratifying to Senator
Solliday and speaks well for his stand
ing in his party. A new district COM
mittee was named as follows: John
Sell, Oconomowoc; 0. J. Kerschen-
steiner, Jefferson; J. w. Moore, Wa
tertOWn.

Advertisers Defrauded.

Itinerant advertising schemers have
again "duped" number of our bust
money for pastures new. Last week
these fellows secured advertisements
for grocer's bill of sale blank, $4,000
copies of which were to be printed and
lections were made in advance. It now
appears that each of the grocers have
been furnished with only few blanks,
ranging from 800 to 1000 in different
instances, and thus the advertisers are
defrauded by not getting near the cir
culation they paid for and expected.
Neighboring cities should be on sthe
lookout for these fellows.

New Issue of Sewer Bonds.

At the meeting of the common coun-
Gil last evening the report of the f.
nance committee was adopted, recon-
mending that new lot Of sewer bonds
be issued, to the amount of $4,000.
This is made necessary on account of
the original issue of $4,000 having been
exhausted. The bonds will bear date
of November l, 1894, and will run for
six years at per cent. interest, each
year 5000 worth being redeemed by
the city. Pending their sale, it is
expected that money will be loaned at
the different banks to pay the orders
of the sewer contractors that have or
will be drawn.
