III they're R.ch's
Shoes they're proper"

We were never so ready to
serve you with spring footwear.
Count the boxes filling the
shelves as high again as your
head-note the boxes crowded
all around. That's the shoe
readiness we ask you to. Eight
to ten statesmen constantly on
the jump from morn till eve.
We've been since last summer
getting this spring shoe stock
ready. Started with leather
makers, and we've watched
every process carefully-design-
ed many of these shoes we're
selling.
All this business has come by
carefully noting your wants and
endeavoring to supply them. 1t
wasn't enough for us to sell or
binary footwear. We knew you
wanted Novelties" And so we
at all times kept perfect stock
of them.
The new spring oxfords and
shoes are perfect dreams"
They embody all that is love-
ly in footwear, and yet they're
not high priced. AT S2.48, an
elegant black oxford, with or
without a patent tip. A tan one
at same price, with sharp needle
toe.
At $2.o8, oxfords of all the
newest shades of leather and all
patent leather. Also patent
leather, with kid top. All shapes
and sizes.
At S348, a fine line of ladies'
and mems high shoes, in all
newest shades of leather and all
the newest shapes.
You ladies skip the largest va
riety of cycling footwear and
leggins in town when you skip
ours. We have styles you won't
find south of New York city.

Come hither, fair one, who shall be
The May-day queen so fine to see;
Incline to me your dainty ear
That you some sage advice may hear.
Ere you approach where garlands twine
Look not with scorn upon quinine.
And don't forget, while you enthuss,
Your gossamer and overshoes
And while. with all your festive soul.
The charms Of Flora you extol,
Do not o'erlook!twill bring you rest
A bit of flannel for your chest.

Efforts at Brevity Often Result In Ridic-
uious Misunderstanding.
A very ludicrous incident occurred at
Vienna some time ago, when Max Hal
be, the successful playwright, who had
come to close a contract with the man
ayers Of a Vienna playhouse for the per-
formance of one of his dramas, found
that his shoes had been stolen during
the night just preceding his return
home.
In Vienna hotels it is the custom to
place ono's shoes il s-e1t e TIE bed
room door before retiring The hotel
porter calls for them, cleans them and
replaces them. On that particular day
some sneak thief had entered the hotel
and walked away with half a dozen
pairs Of shoes, among them Halbe's
In Munich, Halbes wife was anxious
ly awaiting his return, and, to quiet her
fears, since he could not arrive ON time,
Halbe sent her the following dispatch I:
Gould not leave hotel; stole shoes.
Max An hour and a half later tele-
grams began pouring into Vienna to
Halbe's friends, to the manager Of the
theater where he had just concluded
arrangements to have his play pro-
ducod and to the chief Of police, with
the request to help Mr.. Halbe at once
and to get him good lawyer.
The wife of Mr.. Halbe had misunder-
stood her husbands telegram and be-
lieved that he could not leave Vienna
for having stolen shoes Although she
could not possibly understand why he
should steal shoes, the poor woman be-
lieved that he had had a fit of klepto-
mania and had been caught in the act
After another exchange Of kilograms the
misunderstanding was explained away.

"Why, said he, II knew that harm
less means something that wouldn't do
any harm, and 50 wildless means plants
that are not Wild" He mentioned the
fall, and i asked him what he meant by
fall. He replied: "The winter at first I;
the first of it. Do they call it fall be-
cause everything is falling?"
There was some talk about dressing
him or putting on his dress, and, rea-
soning from analogy, he asked, "When
God puts the skin on people, is that
skinning themi" / once read of the
people in the moon being like grasshop-
pers and told him aboutit When / had
finished the story, he said: "When we
look up in the sky, we see the moon
rolling on above us, and when the peo-
pie in the moon look up in the sky they
see the earth rolling along above them.
What is the strange puzzle about thatf"
told him that his specimen Of mica
was silioate of potash, and he asked !:
"Why is mica silicate Of potash-be-
cause they put ashes IN IA potf"
These questions have been recorded
60 represent an innumerable number un-
recorded and to show the wide range of
thought and the variety Of reasonings
that n child under years of age may
have. They show his natural method Of
acquiring knowledge, but they can on
ly suggest the ceaseless activity OF his
mind during all his waking hours. -

The headline may give the reader the
idea that something has gotten wrong
with our satellite and that in the fu-
ture Luna's fair face will not get
through the regular phases Of new moon,
first quarter, full moon and last quar-
ter, as has been her wont since the time
"when the mind of man runncth not
to the contrary"
But such, dear reader, is not the idea
wemean to convey, but we do mean ex-
actly what the headline says, that under
existing conditions (and the conditions
which have existed on the surface of the
moon for perhaps millions of years) il
is a physical impossibility that the face
of the moon should change one iota.
There are neither outside nor inside in
fuences that can be brought to bear tc
make a change in the confguration OF
"our silvery sister world. Her inter
nal fires have long since died out and
there is an utter absence of both air and
water. Existing under such conditions
it is utterly impossible that the face Of
the moon should undergo change or dis.
integration even in the course of a hun
dred million years. st Louis Republic.
