IN PAIRS.

Who was it that said all good
things in this life come in pairs?
perhaps he was the father of
twins.) Any way it's true of many
things, particularly of shoes, and
our shoes are as stylish as they are
good; and our shoes for girls and
women are as pretty as their
wearers demand.
Low cut shoes at low cut prices,
for the warm weather. It's too
expensive for us to write much
about our shoes, but it wont cost
you anything to come in and look.

Some dissatisfaction w0s expressed In

by Platt OF New York and Wilson of

to the fact that New York was unrepre-

priations or the commerce committees,
whicn, he said was an anam nlOus state
of affairs. He said he had no complaint
to make on his own account, but that he
felt that he had a right to protest in the
interest of the state.
Mr.. Wilson urged the unfairness of the
failure to give him the place on the COM
Inittee on commerce which had been
vacated by his late colleague, Senator
Squire. Senator Hansbough also ex-
pressed some disappointment over his
failure to secuie a place in the finanos
committee, and Senator Clark over the
fact that he had not been placed on q
committee dealing with western interests.
All these were replied to hy mem hers
Of the committee who stated that the a.
signments were the most equitable it bad
been found possible to make. The Demo
urats will hold caucus tomorrow to
make their assignments after which the
committee appointments from both sides
of the chamber will be officially an
n0unced.
