"Wet" Sundays would be realized in

The question of ventilation has been
already attended to by the kingly in
veAtor. He pumps air from the surface
through enormous tubes and manages
to keep up constant circulation. The

trouble pumping air enough for thou

readily suggest themselves from a de-
scription of the Kings own glass

time.

is but twenty feet square by fifteen feet

it is entirely of heavy plate glass close

The furnishings of this submarine

PRINTERS INK,

An ad followed up by a drummer is
better than a drummer followed up by
an ad.
Catch the eye, hold the attention,
create an interest, and your ad is cer-
tain to prove a profitable one.
Don't persist in advertising that does
not pay. Something must be wrong
Find out what it is and change it.
If you can construct an ad interest
ing enough to be read two or three
times over consider yourself good ad
writer.
''Hearsay" is a slow advertising me-
dunn when compared to the news
papers. Gossip can't beat printers ink
for rapidity and effectiveness.
You can't put too much thought or
care into your ads. Remember that
your mind has to convince many minds
in order to succeed in selling goods. ar
The growing subscription list of a
periodical or newspaper is a better indi-
cation of it's worth to an advertiser than
the assurance of an advertising man
ager. ..... ss
The advertising jingle most popular
among merchants is the Jingle of gold
and silver. And the biggest adver-
tisers get the most of that kind of
music. .....---.. .-... s-ss

SHOES OF THE NATIONS,

The Portuguese shoe has a wooden
sole and heel, with vamp made of
patent leather, fancifully showing the
flesh side Of the skin.
The Persian footgear is q paised shoe
and is often a foot high. It is made
Of light wood richly inlaid. with strap
extending over the instep.
The Muscovite shoe is handwoyen on
a wooden frame, and but little atten-
ton is paid to the shape of the foot.
Leather is sometimes used, but the
sandal is generally mado of colored
silk cordage and wooden cloth.
The Siam shoe has the form Of an an
cient canoe, with a gondola bow and
an open toe. The sole is made Of wood
and the upper of inlaid wood and cloth,
and the exterior is elaborately orna-
mented in colors and with gold and
silver. -... ..--.
The sandal worn by the Egyptians is
composed Of sole made by sticking to-
gether three thicknesses of leather.
This is held to the foot by passing a
band across the instep. The sandal is
beautifully stitched with threads of
different colors.
Ihe Mussulman's shoe is Of heavy
leather. 1t is adjusted to the foot by
wide leather strap, which runs from
the heel and buckles over the instep.

WEATHERBY STEPPED OFF.

loomed the range like the battlements
of phantom city. While far, far be-
low sounded the faint rushing of water
the river tumbling and foaming along
over its rocky bed.
What weird place." cried Violet,
with a pretty shudder, land what
ghos:-1ike night Why did we never
come up here before, Jack? What
scene!'
Weatherby was lying at her feet
where he had thrown himself to rest
after their climb.
He turned his face, white in the
moonlight, toward her, and fixing his
dusky, unfathomable eyes upon her.
said:
Il kept this place for this hour. I
meant to bring you here when I got
my courage to the point where 1 could
say all that is in my heart. Many a
time down there" pointing to the
ranch lying below, II have looked up
here and thought Of the time would
bring you to tell you how love you"
For one instant Violet felt a queer
little thrill. The simple dignity of his
declaration almost moved the worldly,
cold-blooded girl. Then she thought Of
her local coloring.
What situation for my novel," she
said to herself; then aloud, gently:
$50 you really love me, Jack?"
"Love you?" he echoed passionately,
| as he rose and sat down beside her,
| "Violet, look" taking her hand, my
| heart lies here in this dear little hand"
| Then throwing all reserve to the
| winds, he seized her and kissed her
madly, tempestuously.
She struggled to free herself and at
length succeeded.
'How dare you?" she demanded,
"how dare"
'How dare II" he cried. "Why, dear
est, love you'll love you, do you hear ?
And you, you love me little, do you
not?"
He was approaching her again, when
she said contemptuously:
"No, net a bit. I have simply been
studying you." '.e--.

crony, and had come down the trail
with his customary "Hark" and
"Whoop." AS though riding the sight
less couriers of the air, he dashed up
to the little flower garden, spurs and
chains jingling, sombrero Tapping, and
letting out yell which could have been
heard in Denver. And there by the
side of pretty. Mrs. Atherton sat a
stranger, vision, an angel! The as
mered like schoolboy as he bowed
awkwardly and apologized for his

Who is this divinity in palest pink,

have always pitied Weatherby.
Never for one moment could blame
him. He was a primitive man with
savage instincts lurking in his breast.
Brave, loyal, straightforward himself,
how could he dream of the treacherous
cruel blows one little soft white hand
was capable of dealing?
Violet found this sturdy, braWny
ranchero a delightful study, and de-
cided he should be the hero Of her next
novel. His quaint wit and poetic fan
cies born of the mesas and mountains,
his forcible and often ungrammatical
speech were faithfully noted; his emo
tions were played upon, his heart was
probed. And he never dreamed he was
being experimental on. He loved this
exquisite creature, this dainty, soft,
purring beauty, as he loved his life.
He coveted her and longed to shut her
close to his big, faithful, honest heart.
At last came the night when Violet
carried her passion for "atmosphere"
and local coloring" to it's climax. They
had gone for their customary evening
stroll, and had climbed up lofty
butte to broad ledge Of rocks. At
their feet yawned the canon, tremen-
dous, awful, black, save where the
moonlight touched the opposite wall
with ghostly fingers. Back Of them

In Barclay Street Devout Catholics
Kneel Before Images.
In Barclay street are several stores
that display images of Christ, the vir-
gin and other Roman Catholic emblems,
A bare-headed old man stood on tho
sidewalk the other day and gazed rev.
erently at large statue of the virgin.
After a time he repeated, in low tone,
several prayers. His devotions lasted
about five minutes, and then, after
blessing himself, he walked slowly
away.
THAT old man has been coming here
every day for about two years." said a
truckman, whose stand was near by.
almost at the stroke of five he shows
up and prays for several minutes"
Hes not the only one," the truck

early morning, and even get on their
knees outside the windows where
images are shown. From their looks I

genious.
Unfolded to his gaze there is ma
r1ne-l1ke panorama on which the eye
never tires Of feasting. Richly tinted
fishes move slowly through the green
waters, so near that the hand stretched
out could almost touch them. Little
fleets of water warriors glide past ma
jestically, and ever and anon there is
witnessed a battle royal between op-
posing forces, or the fierce struggle Of
q larger fish destroying it's smaller
prey. Overhead the blue tinted sky is
strangely changed by the intervening
waters, and clouds and shadows put on
new shades. Truly, a more beautiful
ceiling for palace could not be paint
ed by man, and the walls afford vistas
of new delight on every side.
The King of Siam. the inventor Of
this submarine device, is a wonderful
person. His name is, perhaps, the
longest Of any monarch in the world,
containing fifty-seven letters, but he is
called Chulalankorn for short. He has
JnlS.
and his titles would fill more than a
column of newspaper space He is a
young man, but despite his tender age
has 900 wives. Notwithstanding this
large assortment, however, he is so
sacred and mighty that he must marry
nobody beneath him in rank, and his
only equal being members of his own
family, his official wife must, therefore,
be his half sister.
She rules the harem, wears diamond
and emerald rings on every finger and
ruby bracelets around her ankles. She
occupies her time in smoking cigarettes
and chewing the betel nut, making her
teeth as black as ebony This pleases
the king, who says that anybody can
have white teeth, but only monarchs
who are rich enough to afford the betel
nut can have black ones.
