When you see these
three qualities harmon

one crowding out the
other, you can gener-
ally wager big odds
that the shoe is hiqh

But you'd lose your
wager here.
The reason is that
we make our shoes as

know how and sell
them direct to you as
low as we can afford to.
You save the retailers

A good joke Is told by member OF the

In a pretty house in one of the pleasant
est parts OF this city. The other day she
came down the street on a shopping tour
and as the girl was also going out she
carefully locked the windows and doors.
On her return she hunted through
pocket, purse and cRba but no key could
be found Every window WAS fastened
aud there was no alternate but to await
the arrival OF the husband. The hours
wore on until the wife finally remem 5er-
ed that the day previous a pane OF glass
in the pantry window had been broken
and replaced, but not puttied. The little
son of neighbor was pressed into ser
vice. the tacks forced out and the glass
removed. The boy, after considerable
work, succeeded in squeezing his way
through and opened the kitchen door
To her chagrin the mistress Of the house
then discovered that the missing key
had been left by her on the outside Of
the front door after she had locked IL
She tried to keep the fact a secret, but

"To Rising Sun, sir.
"Well, / want TO 90 Ia town"

A fsrmer driving an OK team on the
street the other day was sight rarely
seen nowadays but frequent enough in
the boyhood Of very many Of our older
citizens Then It was no unusual sight
to see the cumbersome big-iougued cart,
drawn by yoke OF SLOW moving oxen.
A half or even a quarter Of century
ago there was scarcely prosperous
owner Of farm who did not own at
least one OK team. Now there are few.
This vanishing Of the heavy OK team
marks an era In our progress just as
surely, II not as noticeably, as the com
ing of steam after the stage coaches or
the displacement OF the horse cars by the
electric motor 1t is the natural Sc
quence Of cultivation. Then the
land was practically untitled, and
the. roads heavier and harder to
travel, and the heavy OK team WAS a
necessity. with the advent Of better
roads, although to orr thinking they are
far from perfect yet, the more complete
breaking up OF the fields, the invention
Of agricultural machinery aud more es.
pecially the breeding Of heavy horses, the
patient OK, like the American Iudian, has
gradually disappeared from our clvillza
tlon
The step from crude muscle and sinew
to tireless steam and swift horses has
been a short one TEE next will be to
electricity, and before many decades the
subtle current will perform for the
agriculturist the work now done by the
horse ana the steam engine, and which
was done by the OK.

should our Army BE Increasodg

An esteemed contemporary says:
Some people foolishly insist that there
should be an increase in the regular
army in order that the Government may
be able to cope with all the labor upris-
ines that may occur Force will never
settle labor troubles"
The statement that force will never
settle labor troubles is likely correct,
though in this country It has never been
applied for that purpose President
Cleveland dii not send the United States
troops to Chicago ana other Western
cities to deal with labor troubles, but
they we're sent to maintain the law and
protect public and private property
General Miles nor any Of his subordi
mates attempted TO interfere with the
strike; they very well knew that was no
part Of their business and they contented
themselves with paying strict attention
to the duties assigned to them.
It was the duty Of the Federal officers
to deal with law breakers, whether they
were dudes, laborers or loafers, and they
paid no attention to their antecedents
It is an acknowledged duty Of the. Gov
eminent to put down rebellion against
the law in any form or by any class Of
people, aud this is what il did-simply
this and nothing more. It was the
Governments duty to protect peaceable
citizens, the United States mails and
public and private property ana this It
did without asking any unnecessary
questions.
The Government lie bound.to keep the
peace and to resist all attempts at It's
overthrow and the question to be
determined is whether so small a force
as We now have can be depended upon
for emergencies such as are possible In
so vast territory as ours. We believe
it is not. Conditions prevailing, even
now. in some OF the newer states, prove
the necessity Of a stronger right arm Of
power on the part Of our National
Government. With men preaching
anarchy and sedition In score Of
cities; with strong organizations provided
with the most dangerous explosives and
with the openiy-avowed purpose of
thousands TO overturn all lawful
authority and TO wreck society, the
country but invites trouble in making
no adequate provision for emergencies
Of serious character.
This is a sufficient reason for an
adequate army, even during profound
peace with the rest Of the world. We
do not fear foreign interference, for our
people would rise en- masse at the
approach Of an enemy Of that kind, but
our army is not efficient. as to size. foi
many Of the emergencies that might
arise within the extensive borders OF
our own country.
