Wool SoIes.

Every one appreciates a pair of
Crocheted slippers, but one draw
back in making a pair is to find the
proper sole and then hunt up a
shoemaker to put the sole on the
upper. Now with our wool soles
the woman who does the crocheting
can fasten on the sole and with less
expense and trouble. Crocheted
slippers are luxury and made
with our wool soles would be very
acceptable Christmas gifts. Our
wool soles are made with black,
blue, red and brown bindings; also
with patent edge for use on any
shade of slipper. Allassizes, for the
smallest child to the largest man.

Overgaiters
and Leggins

Once considered a luxury; now
a necessity. People recognize that
overgaiters and leggins give great
amount of comfort for the money
expended and their use has become
general. Instead of wearing them
for dress and show Everybody now
wears them for the warmth and
comfort they afford.
Perhaps we are responsible for
their general use for we have con-
stantly aimed to sell them at prices
within the reach of all. This sea-
sons stock of overgaiters and leg
gins is the browning triumph of our
past years experiences; they are
the best we ever had, and go where
ever you will, you can't find better.

The Kneeling Cattle.

Christmas eve i'll old England was a
time Of vigils. All were on watch, as
We're the ancient shepherds, waiting for
the appearance of the star. This Gus
tom, to some extent, yet prevails in
places. One strange belief which obtains
in England, and particularly in Devon
shire, is that at midnight, at the mo-
ment Christmas day comes to earth, the
cattle fall TO their knees, as the legend
says was done by the oxen that were
around the sacred manager III Bethlehem
at the time Of the nativity. Yet it is a
sin to look on the cattle wllile i'll this
position o. to seek to find them so.
a custom which yet prevails il some
of the remote portions Of the British is
lands is to carry corn cake and hot cider
into the orchards and there offer them
up to the largest apple tree as a gift to
the king Of the orchards. Exchange.

were boasting, or betting, or trying to
quarrel, He kept right ON till he reach
cd the shop Of the tinker, down by the
bridge, and there he stamped the snow
from his heavy boots
The tinker had not expected GUS
toner, and he had been looking Mt the
toys left over from the sales Of the sea-
son. He had demo very Well, but he
wished now he had not bought SO many.
The hand ON his latch lifted his hopes
a little, and his eager face was a strange
contrast with the puzzled countenance
OF Zeph, now for the first time in his
lie yielding to the weakness of scanning
Christmas presents.
GLOW much for this?n inquired the
countryman, touching camel with his
great forefinger, And the tinker was SO
willing to sell that he quoted figure
far below his ruling prices.
"Ya-as, and this" continued Zeph.
Il was "a candy castle, with powdered
gilt and frosted silver ON the sides.
There was quite store of painted
woods and ruflled tins and nodded candy
there at the end of the counter by the
time Zeph reached the limit Of his purse.
He felt the same STRINGS be had known
while Lusk.pS corn, when some boaster
tried to hcut HIM in the race. He bought
without reflection, with 10 thought but
that of g;yilt Silly better Christmas
than other g4iIalen had
And then he traInped back home.
There was 10 hurry in his walking now.
He simply strobe the miles, unconscious
OF his splendid muscles, assured Of
reaching home i'll time and giving little
care to what the thing might mean.
One house was lighted brilliantly,
and through uncurtained windows he
saw a Christmas tree, The presents had
been stripped away, but tapers burned
there, and strings of wool and tiny flags.
"Santa Claus brought them there
things on his way ont, " said Zeph to
himself. "He'll git to Billy on his trip
back home. " And then he tried to sheer
at the whole affair.
At the first barb of light Zeph fought
against his drowsiness and turned to
wait till Billy's eyes should open. 1t
seemed slow, long time. But after
awhile the large, blue eyes unveiled,
the sense of present things came back to
him, and then they rested on those
glorics al his pillow. He did not move,
but studied them moment with look
so strange that Zeph saw things his
wisdom had not dreamed. Then Billy s
eyes were closed again, and soon the
larger breathing told that he was deep
i'll dreamland paths, with richer treas
ures on each hand than there had been
before
He reused at length and saw the toys
again.
II dreamt of them he said and
wondered why his mother smiled Il
was long before he dared to touch them,
and all through the day his boyish play
would be suspended, and he would look
at them as if afraid that they would
vanish into dreams again-the dreams
where he was sure his happy eyes had
found them.
But it's all hoky poky," said Zeph
to his wife, as he shouldered his ak and
went down to the mill for the day. -

he discovered that there was a great out

price and also in the taste and effect, but
these counted for nothing with Teddy and

bought half a pint of the cider and then
he entered into negotiations with the

for tho alleged IRE water. Ted made q

What Causes; 1T.

Atlanta Constitution: The news column!
of our exchanges are filled with dali,
chapters of crime.
There was never anything like it befor.
in the histary of our country. Murder
rape. arson. embezzlement. forgery ani
highway robbery seem to be the fashion
of the day.
What causes it: Are the people going
mad, or is our civilization failure?
1t is very easy for student of history
to answer the. question. For some years
past We have been governed ly Shylocks
instead of statesmen. Our presidents and
congresses have simply carried ont the
DEGREES Of Wall street, anf Wall street has
obeyed instruction from the money kings
of Europe.
The blight of the gold standard has
seriously affected every producer and
wage Garner. Capital has retired . to the
strong boxes Of few, coD.merce and in
dustry have been paralyzed, confidence
has vanished, and men have given
up to doubt and dispair and desperation.
Millions of our people find it hard to
get even starvation wages. They are
driven day by day into the great army of
tramps and criminals. Thoy see no alter
native. So they slay strangers, butcher
their own families, seek refuge in suicide,
teal Q verything in sight. rob railway
trains, and hOldup travellers on the high
way. Even the streets of the cities arc
not safe in daylight. Ladies' out shopping
run the risk of being violently assaulted
by the robbers who seem to infest every
locality.
When q government deliberately creates
q period Of hard times it is natural though
,deplorable that lawlessness should follow.
Almost any thing is better than such a
state Of affairs. A fereign war, an inflated
svTancy, hat money-anything that will
revive trade and industry and give the
plenty of " ork at good wages would be
preferable to the stupid and cruelty op.
pressiye policy which is rapidly turning
this cauntry into land Of disorder and
violence.
