the militia OF that state. The raid was
made without the least resistance from the

erected from boughs of trees, straw, hay
and other material which could be secured

forced from them, the torch was applied
and every yestige that the flames could de-

AT s o clock this morning the men were

awaited them and there they are waiting
for something to turn up. Their fears
however, were grOundless, for but a single
policeman guarded the Washington end OF
the bridge, and he had no Intention OF

laCt lnal several lppk tuelr Cualces anu
entered the city limits, though the great
majority remained on the bridge.
Many complaints have been poured in
upon Governor . Terrell within the past
week or 10 days OF the growing nuisance
at Roselyn for which there seemed to be
no remedy but complete routing of the
Commonwealers, by the military.
Promptly at O'Clock a company of the
militlamen marched down the steep slopt
to the banks ot the river where the Coxey
ties had made their improvised homes
and the "hoboes" were ordered to pact
up and leave. Not a murmur or gruinbli
was heard The men packed up thei
little belongings and marched to thu

"What | want" said |, as l sat down
in a shoe store the other day and held
out my foot to the clerk, "is shoe that

Eyes, that's just what everybody

everybody, Just as | tell you, that we
have Just the kind of shoe to make one

pointer that mas almost as much to do

as he pulled of my right shoe, "and that
is to take oil those black socks and
never wear another pair Of that color,
especially in warm weather"
what in the world have black stock
ings got to do with corns?" asked.
"a lot" was the shoe clerks emphatic
answer. 81 don't suppose black socks
really cause corns, but | do know that
they are great corn aggravaters. I've
been in the shoe business long while,
and | noticed years ago that nineteen
out of twenty customers who wore
black stockings asked for shoes that
would be easy on corns. | have asked
n great many about it, and their testi-
mony ard my own experience prove
that black hose and corns are very
closely related.
"Ive never settled 10 my satisfaction
exactly why it is so, but believe that
black socks retain the heat more than
other colors do, and think they also
held moisture longer. You know a
black suit of clothes is warmer than a
light suit, and its the same with the
hose.
"Giving up black socks wont cure
your Germs, but if you'll take my adj
vice and wear some other color I'm
sure the next time you come you'll tell
me your corns have been much less
troublesome and your feet much more
comfortable. If you don't you'll be the
first of hundreds Of my customers to
tell me my advice wasn't worth taking"

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. ia suit
brought by Chris Won Der Abe, presi-
dent of the st. Louis Browns, against
his son, who was treasurer of that or
ganization, and James A. Noonan, has
caused considerable comment.
In his petition Chris recltes that on
May 31st ne owed Eddie Won Der Abe
$6,723, and was likely to want to borrow
more in order to carry on his business.
Ed thought he ought TO have security
and Chris conveyed to him Il portion of
ground he owned on st. Louis avenue.
Later Chris wanted to borrow some
money and Ed did not happen to have
1t, but got it for him from NoonaE, who,
however, wanted security and Chris
conveyed to him some Of the st. Louis
avenue ground. Ed has since paid the
loan made by Noonan and the latter has
conveyed the property 10 him. Now
Chris says he is ready to pay Eddie all
he owes him and has asked for an
accounting, but Ed refuses to bring in a
statement.
Chris wants his conveyance to Ed
and the conveyance from Noonan to Ed
set aside, it having been understood
that while these conveyances were abso-
lutte in form they were to be regarded
only as security of the payment Of the
money owing by Chris to Ed. The
younger Won Der Abe is quoted as say
ing that his fathers financial affairs are
in bad way; that the ball park and
club are bonded for $50, 1000, and that
next year Chris will not have control of
them.
President Won Der Abe made state
ment yesterday, in the course of which
he dwelt at length on the affairs of the
Browns. He said:
