Rare
shoe chance
FOR LADIES AND CHILDREN

We have never bought any odd lots of
Shoes-where quality was doubtful-but
we are doing business with both eyes wide
open to the interests of our patrons and
THIS chance was too good to miss. The
manufacturer, who for the past ten years
has supplied the bulk of our Ladies and
Children's fine shoes, lately executed an
order for party whose financial condi-
ton has recently been the subject of
grave misgivings on the part of his cred
itors. To make a long story short-we
got the Shoes-at a great concession in
price. They are fresh from the makers
hands-made of identically the same
leather as our regular stock and in
nearly the same shapes. The only real
difference is, our name is not stamped on
them-but we WARRANT every pair
just the same These Shoes will be put
on sale TO -MORRO Wand as the guam
tity is limited-your size may be GONE

TO PROJECT THE FORESTS.
Much Interest Manifested I'm the West
in the Pending Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2-Consider-
able interest has been manifested in the
West over the prospect of the passage of
the bill for the protection of forest reser-
vations and it has boone evident since
the bill passed the house that it will en-
counter no inconsiderable opposition in the
senate The bill, when it first went to
the senate, was referred to the committee
on public lands, but the reference was
changed afterwards and it then went to
the committee on forest reservations of
which Senator Allen (Neb) is chairman.
The necessity of proper care of the for
ests for the preservation of the timber
and the conservation of the water supply
in all the arid mountain states and terri
tories is generally admitted even by those
who oppose the pending BILL but they con-
tend that the selections of land for such
reservations as have been made were made
hastily and without adequate under
standing of the conditions provided
They assert that many of the reserva-
tons are far more extensive than they
need be and that they operate to prevent
which might otherwise become productive
1t is asserted by them that timber only
holds the snow in the higher mountainous
regions and that many of the reservations
made, especially in Colorado, California
and Wyoming, extend to regions where the
snow does not lie at all.
There is also objection to the principle
of using the standing army as a guard for
the reservations. Probably the objection
to placing the privilege of cutting timber
within the discretion of the secretary Of
the interior which was made in the house
will also be revived in the senate

address says:
The right of the states to a republican
form of government and the right of the
citizen to a fair ballot and an honest
count is guaranteed by the constitution.
The unrest consequent from the abroga-
ton of this right by the reign of ballot
box stuffing oligarchy in Alabama and
other Southern states has but recently
aroused the people to demand that their
constitutional liberty be restored Because
of existing conditions, | have been delegated
to call q conference at New Orleans, JAN

session may deem advisable Delegations
will come from every Southern state.

AN ENCOURAGING REPORT.
IabuIatiOn of Mortgage Foreclosures
on Agricultural Property.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 2-Labor Commissioner
Powers has practically finished the tabula-
ton of mortgage foreclosures on farm
property in Minnesota during the last IA
years. Some facts of interest in relation
He states that in 66 counties largely de-
voted to agriculture, in each of the IA
years ending with 1893, the average number
of foreclosures was LOO per year, the
amount being $1,1OO,000, and the acreage
covered being 10000 This average was
exceeded in 1880 and 1881, while the lowest
number and amount of mortgage fore
closures for any year were in 1892. In that
year 74S mortgages were foreclosed on
farm property, the amount being 1874, 637
and the acreage los, 423, or 40 per cent
less than the average, although agricul-
tural property in Minnesota had nearly
doubled in value since 1880. The figures
Tor 1893 show on the face to be a little
above the average, but the excess of that
year over 1892, the lowest year, is found
to exist in three counties only, one of
these being Anoka county. The excess
there tor 1898 amounted to $312, 900 with an
acreage of q. OO0 but one foreclosure alone
was in speculative property and amounted
to 100000 There was a corresponding ad-
dition in Washington and Dakota counties
of $4,000 on 1900 acres. So that if specu-
lative foreclosures are excluded from the
figures for 1893 that county will stand
below the average with 1892, and both will
be lower than the figures for 20 or % years
ago.

Few Housewives Boil Out Their Burn

LeaSf Once

Few Housewives Boil Out Their Burn
ers, which should be Done at
Least Once a Week.
To the wise virgin, whose lamps burn
undimMed through the long winter evenings,
the writer of the Boston Globe went for
advice and inquired of her methods
why do my lamps give a more brilliant
light than those in other houses?" she re
peated. Possibly because take better care
OF rnen.
Lamps are not to be lighted and looked
at merely, neither are they to be of less
value than their covering
Most housewives spend their mornings
in connecting new shades making over old
ones or fastening fresh flowers to the one
in use. That is not my way. I prefer to
devote my time to seeing that the lamps
are rewarded for their genial help Of the
night before
Few women boil out their burners. This
should be done at least once a week. ] rub
mine off first with paper, then place them
all In saucepan of boiling water and soap
suds They are to remain for 80 minutes,
when they are rinsed off with clear hot
water, laid to drain, and afterward careful
ly rubbed and polished with a bit Of old
flannel. l find this the only way to pre-
vent smoking or unseemly greasness.
LIN my large china lamps where brass
tank holds the oil. l boil out this metal
receptacle as we'll the burner. l fill the
tank itself with warm water, letting it come
10 a IOrceful boil on the range Th1S plan
removes every suspicion of dirt as we'll as
Odor from the brass. After rinSing off,
dip it in a weak solution Of ammonia and
water, then polish off with channels skin
and silicon.
This is my systematic weekly washing
schedule.
LAS to the wicks, I fancy in most lamps
they are not changed frequently enough. l
put in a new one every week. The lamp is
apt to smoke unless this Is done. Then
never cut your wick. Your eye for curve
may be excellent, but I'll warrant the are
sors have been called into play.
When the wick is inser. III, simply burn
the end off. The blaze will make it's own
pathway moe artstically than you could
do, and the after light will have ragged
edges Every morning nip all the burnt
edges away with flannel cloth.
"a vital point for the maintenance Of
strong glow is the daily replenishing of the
OIL Never let the wick strain for its Sus-
tenance. Without good nourishment wicks
like mortals, will emit very feeble flame
"Of course, my chimneys are polished
every morning. They are 'soused' into
generous pan of hot water and soap suds
and polished off with channels.
There is no denying" she concluded,
that lamps require much attention, but
they are grateful and respond in such a
brilliant manner that one never begrudges
the time spent on Them

The Fountain Of Tears.

If you so desert and mountain
Far into the country Of SORROW
Today and tonight and tomorrow.
And maybe for months and for years;
You shall come with heart that is bursting
For trouble and failing and thrstng.
You shall certainly come to the fountain
At lenSth--to the Fountain of Tears
Very peaceful the place IS, and solely
For pteous lamenting and signing. +.
And those who come living dying
Alike from their hope and their fears;
Full Of cypress-like shadows the place Is
And statues that their faces
But out of the gloom springs the holy
And beautiful Fountain Of Tears.
And it flows and it flows with a motion
So gentle and lovely and iistlcss
And mCrmurs tune resistless
To him that hath suffered and hears,
You shall surely-wthout word spoken
Kneel down there and know your heart broken
And yield to the long curbed emotion
That day by the Fountain Of Tears.
For it grows and it grows as though leaping
Up higher the more Is thinking;
And it's tunes go sinking
More poignanty into the ears.
Yea. blessed and good seems that fountain
Reached after dry desert and mountain,
You shall fall down at length in your weeping
And battle your sad face in the tears.
Then, alas! while you lie there a season,
And sob between living and dying
And give up the E,nd you were trying
TO find mid your hopes and your fears
~ the world shall come up and pass Ger you,
Strong shall not stay to care for you
Nor wonder, indeed DOR what reason
Your way should steh harder than theirs.
But perhaps while yo4 lie. never lifting
Your cheek from the wet leaves It presses
Nor caring to raise Your wet tresses
And look how the told world appears-
O. perhaps the merA silence round YOU
All things in than pihce grief hath found YOU
Yea, cen the clouds Ger you drifting
May soothe you soinetyhat through your tears.
You may feel When 4 falling leaf brushes
Your face, though some one had kissed YOU
Or think at least some one who missed Won
Hath sent you Thoughtful that cheers;
Or birds little song, faint and broken
May pass for tender word spoken:
Enough, while around YOU there rushes
That life-drowning torrent of tears
And the tears shall flow faster and faster
Brim over and battle resistance
And roll down beared roads to each distance
OF pas desolaton and years;
Till they cover the place of each sorrow
And leave you no Past and no Morrow:
For what man is able to master
And stem the great Fountain of Tears?
The sound of them all grows as thunder.
O. into what bosom. l wonder,
Is poured the whole sorrow of wears?
For eternity only seems keeping
Account of the great human weepinr.
May God. then, the Maker and Father
May He find a place for the tears!
Arthur OShaughnessy.
