Jerry and Frank were two horses
hitched to a yellow car All the morn
ing they had gone back and forth pa
tientlv, with only rest now and then,
but Jerry was beginning to feel rebel
ious- He was tired, and it was getting
hotter every square Jerry was not by
nature such a meek horse as was Frank;
but, then, too, he had not been a city
car horse as long as Frank had BEEN
Frank knew the only way to do was to
go on and on, whether you were tired
or not The driver had il all to say.
By the time jerry had made up his
mind TO be stubborn the driver stopped
the horses on a switch to wait until the
car square away had passed.
Right there ON the curbstone sat a lit
tie bOotblack- On the pavement lay his
torn cap, and he let people 90 by unno-
ticed as he rubbed an apple on his jacket
to make it shiny A sweet lady had
given it to him, and he was just over
his surprise and getting ready to eat it,
when he looked up and saw Jerry stand
ing near and looking at the apple long
1ngly with his pitiful eyes.
The little bootblack understood.
There was not much time to think-the
other car was not far away-but he
wondered how he would feel if he was
that horse, and quick as fash he broke
the apple in two and put one piece in
Jerry's mouth and the other in Franks
1T was delicious.
Jerry forgot about being stubborn as
they started on, and Frank forgot his
aching bones, while the little ragged
bootblack- ran away, calling after man
with dusty shoes, ''Have q shine, mis-

It may be a question whether the
Woman's Suffrage society should not
take up the question. At all events,
there must be something wrong in the
law. An application was made to Judge
Lumley Smith at the Westminster conn

prison for nonpayment of q debt. Il
cannot do so, ~ said the judge. because
the law prevents me sending a married

SHOES In Hot Weather.

Don't try to wear a shoe that is too
small for the foot in hot weather.
This is flying in the face Of common
sense. The feet require little humor
ing in the summer. They get irritable
and excited under the least provocation.
Even tho iron rails on street car lines
swell under the fierce rays of the sun,
and what can be expected of flesh and
blood? Wear n size, or at least a half
size, larger shoe during the summer
than you did in the winter. Boots and

ExTEysIoN OF GERMAN TRADE.

Louis Stern. United States commercial
agent in Hamburg, Germany, reports
that since the worlds fair the German
merchants, encouraged by their govern
ment, are making special efforts TO ex-
tend their american trade. TO this end
through the German consuls In the
United States agencies have been estab-
lished in all important centers, where
persons can obtain advice and informa-
ton relative to the cost, freight and tar
iff charges upon German products, and
thus importation at first hand is made
practicable and profitable. Mr.. Stern
believes that American manufacturers
could initiate this plan with advantage.
