Kentucky and Tennessee. and as a result he Is not

The Life OF a Shoe.

According to an intelligent and OBJ
servant member of the trade, the aver
age purchaser of footwear counts the
life Of a shoe by the number of times il
requires residing and heeling. If shoe
is resoled and heeled twice. the wearer
thinks it is better shoe than the one
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear residing and heeling more
than once The same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
Of this knowledge and put inferior leath-
er in the soles and heels and thus attain
the apparently impossible feat of in
creasing the reputation of their goods by
using inferior material 1t is certain,
however, that reputable manufacturers
do not adopt this questionable policy

AN ALPENA MIRACLE
A LADY OF LONG RAPIDS DIS
CARDS HER CRUTCHES.

In an Interview with Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause Of the Miracle.
From the Argus, Aipena. Nich.l
We have long known Mrs Jas. NJ.
Todd, Of Long Rapids, Alpena Co,
Mich. She has been a sad cripple.
Many Of her friends know the story of
her recovery; for the benefit Of those
who do not we publish it today.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and in few
months with muscular and infamma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
then her head. Her feet became 20
swollen she could wear nothing on
them. Her hands We're drawn all ont
OF shape. Her eyes were swollen shut
more than half Of the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that il would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by score Of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice All said her
trouble was brought ON by hard work
and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part Of her story follows in
her own words:

The Wyoming Conference.

The year which has intervened since
the wyoming conference held its forty
third annual session in this city has
been one of gratifying progress along
religious lines, and notably so In the
Methodist Episcopal church. The as
semblage of that conference in our
sprightly sister city of Carbondale this
week comes at time when throughout
the country generally, and especially
within the area comprised by this con-
ference. there is an unmistakable quick
ening of the religious spirit among the
people. We know that many persons
are in the habit of disputing this state
ment, but we think it is literally true,
Notwithstanding seeming evidences to
the contrary.
There has, within the year, been visi-
BILE even to the laity diminution in the
factional controversies which. only q
short time ago, were diverting the
energies OF many or our Protestant
churches from the fundamental duties
of those churches as schools for the de-
velopment of morals and character.
We hear today less about technical diff
ferences in theology than we were ac-
customed to hear only few years ago,
but we hear good deal more about the
purification of city government and the
temporal reclamation of the fallen. If
the learned disputatlons of the titled
hair-splitters of the various churches
have lately lost interest among the peo-
pie, it is pleasure to know that the
modern and practical secular agencies
Of those churches have gained in num-
her, strength and usefulness and are
continuing that gain with gratifying
steadiness.
We are not of those who deplore this
growing tendency of the preachers and
the church-goers to mix into the daily
activities of their town and time. We
welcome, rather than resent, the entry
