There is no sweeter charity than that
which cares for helpless children, says
the Troy Times. Most gracious of all
is it when the ministration is a defense e
from cruelty and wrong. And when
the source of help for children is the love
for child that is dead, there is d
pathetic tenderness that crowns the
kindness of the act with halo of more
than earthly radiance.

of supports and bandages for the heal
ing of an injured foot or the helping OF
one disiigured by many years use OF
ill-ftting shoes.
Now the way to derive genuine bent
fit from a foot box is to use it every day
and the result will be not only addition
al beauty of person but physical com
fort. Every morning the feet ought tc
be slipped in basin of warm suds
dried with crash towel and then, after
the soIes have bit of cold cream OF
historine rubbed into them and the
nails manicured, lightly use puff fu
of violet lalcum powder. At night very
nearly the same process ought to be re
peated, and then, if the feet have beer
really driven out of shape by too small
short or pointed shoes, take hint from
the contents of the bottom tray of the
foot box and put them in corrective
bandages for the hours in bed.
Women who from long use of slippers
and Oxford ties have developed alb

on to bring pinched-up toes apart and
throw the crooked joint of the great
toe back into place. This is the mos;
difficult bandage Of all to wear, for
soft leather strap is passed between the
first and second toes, while tie incest
is n pair of lambs wool socks, meant
to be used at night by women who suf
fer from moist feet, All these treasures
are discovered in the perfected new
foot box, that promises to do us much
for the beautifying of the present gem
eration's pedal eXtremities as ever the
manicure case does for their hands and
the fitted dressing bag for the general
toilet.-Chicago Record.

The Red River Stave FactOry-Iean-
erette After 1t.

Our people will remember that
some time in last March Mr.. Geo.
Schussler, manager Of the Red
River Stave Factory, at Fulton,
Ark, was in our city, and made a
proposition to our people to move
his plant to Shreveport if our peo-
pie would give him a bonus OF
$4,000.
He gave a written obligation to
employ from 80 to 100 hands and
to have weekly payroll OF from
5000 to $500.
A committee was appointed, who
secured subss riptions amounting
to $1,000. On this being reported to
Mr.. Schussler, he replied that the
amount offered was small, but he
would be here about April 18th,
with one of the Chicago STOCKHOLM
ers, and have a personal talk with
our people again. But that was
the last Of Mr.. Schussler, as far as
a public meeting was concerned,
and not even by letter, to the COM
mittee at least, has the gentleman
ever signified that he was still
alive. From a friend the writer
learned that Mir. Schussler had
been in Shreveport with another
gentleman, and was trying to get
an option on a certain plat of
ground on the river or bayou; and
then exeunt Mr.. Schussler.

Murderer Committed Suicide.

to date, except for some testimony of
those who claim to have seen Murderer
Normand near Michigan City, no one
is known to have set eyes on the man.
In view of the character of the coun-
try Normand's lack of food and other
circumstances, this is strange. Not a
few now believe Normand has fifty
ended his wicked life by suicide. He
must have known since last Saturday
that if he should be caught he would
never live to reach jail. A letter writ
ten by him and found yesterday in his
old valise has somewhat strengthened
the theory of suicide. 1t also shows
generalization and does not appear to
be the product of an insane brain. 1t
