stOckinged Feet Upon His Desk.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Call
of Florida has broken the record for
free-and-easy manners in the United
States Senate chamber. Since the season
of hot weather began, Senators as a
rule, have been more devoted to COM
fort than style in their personal appear
ance, and short coats, no vests, neglige
shirts, and seaside fashions generally
have been the proper thing in both
Houses of Congress. This morning,
however, Senator Call surprised even
Senator George by removing his shoes
and placing his expensive feet on the top
of his rosewood desk beneath the very
nose of the Populist Senator, MIR. Kyle
of Dakota, who was in the midst of a
long speech picturing to his brother
Senators the delights of an income tax.
After the performance of the Florida
statesman had entertained the Senate
and the galleries for several minutes a
page carried a message to him and he
took his feet down from the desk and
put on his shoes.

And thus the summer days are spent

Hon. William L. Douglas, the president
of the world famed W. L, Douglas Shoe Co.,
has always had great personal interest in
the army of men and women who inhabit
the great factory at Montelo during the
working hours of the day. and who
make the greatly advertised SO shoe, and
will furnish medical attendance to such as
need it whilst in the employ Of the cOmpa-
ny over which he presides. He is great
believer in the idea that manufacturers
should have personal interest in the con-
dition of their employees, and feels that if
the idea is carried out 10 the extent that is
possible, that it will result ultimately in the
breaking down of barriers which have been
built up between employers and those whom
they employ. He believes that the break
ing down of these invisible but strong bar
riers would be great thing for everybody
concerned, as it would convince the work
ing men that their employers were not ene-
mics, as some of them seem to think now,
but their friends, with desire to do all for
that was in their power Having strong
feelings upon this point is only natural
that Mr. Douglas should give the matter
some study and acquaut himself with the
result of the trials of such plans in other
places. He is satisfied that the scheme he
has originated is good one, and he has
now put it to practical test
