Davy's Shoes.

II take no note of time" said Mr..
Toggleton. "Ican count the months

for shoes for Davy. All I want to
know is the date for the purchase
Of one pair. Say, for illust1ati

shoes / know, without looking at
the date line in the paper or at the
calendar in the Office, that it is the
18th of June, for Davy wears out
Just one pair of shoes a month.
HE goes through the first soles
in two weeks, and the second in
two weeks, more. Occasionally we
have his shoes resoled twice, but
not often. Usually, when we come
to look them over, after the second
sole has been worn through, we
find them in that state Of ruin that
II commonly described in the phrase
beyond repair 49,
''There is, however, one cheering
feature of this situation, and that
Il the unparalleled cheapness Of

Arc We Q Notion7

In the opening pages Of his art-
ole in The Atlantic on 1.-THE Making
Of the Nation" Woodrow Wilson
asks this significant question:: 1--WE
have beer told by a certain group
Of our historians that nation was
made when the federal constitution
was adopted; that the strong SEN
fences Of the law suf6ced to trans
form us from a league of states into
4 people single and inseparable.
Some tell us, however, that it was
not till the war of 1912 that we
grew fully conscious Of a single
purpose and destiny and began to
form policies as if for nation.
Others see the process complete only
when the civil war struck slavery
away and gave north and south a
common way of life that should
make common ideals and common
endeavors at last possible. Then,
when all have had their say, there
comes great movement, like the
one which we call Populis1n, to re-
mind US how the country still lies
apart in sections, some at one stage
Of development, some at another,
some with one hope and purpose for
America, some with another, and
we ask ourselves, Is the history of
our making as a nation indeed over,
or do we still wait upon the forces
that shall at last unite us2 Are we
even now in fact q natiOn2"

of corruption in public affairs.
The indifference with which
the public views misgovern-
ment was never more marked
than in this year of grace 1897.
We do not have to 60 away
from home for evidence of this
fact. When there occurs some
gross and brutal crime against
human life or childhood's in
nocence it is still possible to
arouse public indignation; but
if there be money for defense
no criminal who stops short OF
these two crimes endangers
his life or risks his liberty by
confinement in a common dun
geon; and though guilty of a
capital offense, in such cases
the hands of Justice seem to be
always bound, and the culprit
Usually goes forth before the
world a indicated man.
This age is not essentially
brutal. Its crimes are only in
directly so; they tend more
towards the acquisition OF
wealth through breaches OF
trust, fraud and conspiracy.
Like the vision of the man be-
holding a mirage, the public
view is distorted by the gla-
mour that envelopes success.
In alteration of. the triumph
men see not the crime by which
it was attained. Hence there
is no municipality that is not
the prey of respectable rob-
bers-men that wear good
clothes, eat the best food, live
in sumptuous homes and in
dulge in all the luxuries and
embellishments of life. But
crime breeds crime, and trebly
so when successful. Their as
sumption of responsibility is a
protection and their success
breeds in all classes growing
up in the community a still
more ungovernable passion for
exploitation.
Against this sort OF thing
there seems to be no protection.
Protests are in vain. Popular.
Indifference prevails like a con-
tagious malady. The few who
cry out against mismanage-
nent find themselves beating
the air. There are none to give
heed. Those who are exposed,
even though the retormer
be actuated by no personal ILL
will become his individual enc
mics; and the public for whose
welfare the reformerhas risked
the hostility of his neighbor,
merely grunts lazily and
snoozes on in undisturbed in
difference.
These conditions are every
where. Under their corroding
influences no man who cares
for his personal reputation
dares interest himself in pub
lie life; or, if in his innocence
he does, soon washes his hands
of such business in order to
save the little good name he is
lucky to have left.
Hence, political integrity has
become by-word@ among
statesmen so-cal1ed; patriotism
has become fidelity to some
private interest; the public
treasury is considered the
legitimate prey of the Doodle
hunting pap-sucker, and every
man being popularity supposed
to be out for the stuff, the only
difference between the Gins
and the "outs" in the public
estimation is the enviable
opportunity of the former to
plunge his fists into the public
treasury.
Is it any wonder, then that
the plundered public lacks
champions? Or that the ex-

Who know the players and the flowers
And care not how the world may plod.
They idle in the traffic lands
And loiter through the woods with

They. too, receive each one his day.
But their wise hearts know many things
Beyond the sating Of desire,
Above the dignity OF kings

And laughing Tipped il in the air,

Danced To their wild, outlandish bars.

The Big Hat In Church.

This is what happens TO the man be-
hind the hat. The preacher disappears
until nothing remains but voice. And
with the hat standing against the spot
where the voice is, and the modulated
sentences breaking against it, how is
attention to be fixed upon the sermon?
The mind grows lax, the quiet and
sweetness Of the sanctuary tend to dis
traction, the hat fills the whole visi-
ble universe, and involuntarily ones
thoughts center upon it. 1t is wonder
full construction. There is yellow rose
trembling on long stem with every
movement Of the wearer's head, and one
begins 10 calculate the extent of its arc
There are lunches Of feathers disposed
apparently, with view to preventing
anything from being seen between them
whichever way the hat is turned. And
there are stalactites of ribbon, upright
and immovable, which still further oh
scure the horizon. Occasionally one gets
IA mOmentary glimpse of the hand of
the preacher as il Is stretched out i'm
gesticulatiCn, but il seems mere de
tached fragment uselessly beating the
air The preacher himself has disap

No sound but the ripping waters heard,
Or the faint low twitter OF some lone hird'
Belated, forgotten and wondering why
His mate had d, serted him-he must fly

And scattering the leaves of golden red
That cling as they fall TO ferns pale grown,

worn.

And rests midst the boughs OF old oak trees,
Where Spanish moss swings In the soft, warm

Till spring comes again-then home Is best.
And with wings outspread he wanders hence
Till he fnds the maple tree close by the fence.

The New Ribbons.

The new ribbons are very delicate in
texture like silken gauze, and the vari-
ETY. in grass linen effects has multiplied
many times since last season. There are
Scotch plaids, light tinted grounds
plaided off with some strong color and
scattered over with polka dots CT sprays
of flowers and plain colors, with fancy
edges of hair line stripes in various col
ors and checked borders, which are very
effective. Taffeta seems to have the lead
among the plain ribbons, and some of
these are satin faced. Moire ribbons
with corded edges are also seen.
