the recent speculative faVOrites which are
comprised in the group known aS the spe-

strength of the speCialties caused a strong

SHOES
AND
RUBDERS.

You often think where is
the best and cheapest place to
buy shoes and rubbers so you
can save money by buying
them. We ask you to call
and examine our goods before
buying elsewhere, and we as
sure you there is no better
place on earth where you can
buy good, stylish aud dura bic
shoes for so little money than
at our store. We aim to
make money in buying, and
then we sell for cash only, at
prices less than most shoe
dealers pay by buying direct
from the manufacturer at
Sheriff's sales.

STATESMEN AS LOBBYISTS.
Ex-SenatOrs and Ex-Representatives
Turn Their Privileges to
Good Account.

Washington. June 6.-Amons the crowds
that throng the corridors of the capitol
when congress is in session are number
of ex-senators and eX-representatives, who
appear there as lobbyists. These men have
the privileges of the floor in both houses.
and are frequently able to render valuable
services in regard to matters pending be-
fore congress. There are moi than a score
of ex-representatives who have adopted the
profession of lobbyist and some of them
make a good deal of money. One would
hardly expect that a man who had held
the dgnified position of United States SEN
ator would adopt the role of lobbyist, but
several men have done so.
Ex-senator Higgins, of Delaware. Is con-
stantly in attendance at the capitol in the
Interest of the paper manufacturers. He
wants higher duties on the manufactured
product. and no increase in the duty on
soda. ash. which enters largely into the
manufacture of paper. Mr.. Higgins ap-
pesred in behalf of his clients before the
finance committee at the Arlington hotel
and has since continued his arguments
on the floor of the senate and in the cloak
rCom. Another ex-senator who is here as
a lobbyist Is Charles Fenton, of California,
who represents the sugar trust.

THE NIGHTINGALE.
Its Marvellous Voice Expressive OF
Every shade of Ecstasy
and joy.

The nightingale does not sing every
where yet ii is as great mistake to consid-
er the bird shy as to imagine its song is
chiefly reserved for the night, says the st.
lanes Gazette He will sing continually
from ore of the oaks bordering the wayside
while the village folks pass and repass.
The village couples may rest upon the foot
stile or linRer to listen beneath the very
tree on which the bird Is stationed. Still
the full burden of melody goes on uncheck-
ed without a pause or intermission. And
what a glorious outburSt il Isl What a per-
feet cascade of trills and shakes and semi
Ouayersi Suddenly II is pierced by a single
note that shivers in the ear with the sharp
ness of a fife. Immediately after come
the wondrous waterbubble, to be followed
by a delicious warble long drawn out and
soft as could be breathed from the richest
flute.
off sound that almost seems to come from
another songster half a mile away. serves
to throw into relief the passionate trpmOlo
issuing from the same tiny throat, and all
the time the wings are quivertng with ex-
element and the whole coppice seems 10
vibrate. The song is, indeed, whole or
chestra of bird music. Expressive of every
shade of ecstasy, we are at times startled
by a succession of deep. plaintive tones
that thrill like sobs. No wonder the night
ingales singing season is brief-siX weeks
only of the entire year. Nay, IL is doubt
full whether any individual bird sings for
SO long a period. The redwing, another
fine singer is a similar instance of the
limited period of song. Its voice in this
country is confined to two notes, and these
by no means musical. Yet the redwing is
the nightingale of Norway. to which land
he returns for breeding purposes each sue
ceeding April So with our nightingale.
From the day the eggs are Matched he be-
comes gradually silent, until of the mar
velous voice that stirred a mile OF wood
hardly TO be distinguished from the hoarse
cry of the bullfrog.
