A Patriotic publication.

On the 1st Of this month there appeared
in The Star letter from citizen who
called attention to the fact that compara-
lively few Americans are acquainted with
the patriotic songs of the nation, and sug-
gesting that care be taken in the public
schools to familiarize the children with
the words as well as the music of these
songs. This letter attracted the notice Of
a group of employees Of one Of the govern
nent departments and they forthwith pro-
ceeded to seek to put the words of some
OF the most frequently heard songs breath
ing the spirit OF patriotism. The result of
their labors Is booklet of thirty-two
pages, appearing today, and containing
small library Of Information on patriotic
subjects. The words are reproduced of
Columbia, The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lie, TIE Red, White and Blue, The Flag of
the Free and Yankee Doodle. In addition

L,pcoln's Gettysburg address, Lincoln's
favortte poem, "Oh, Why Should the Spiri.
OF Mortal Be Proud?" the story of the
American flag and extracts from some of
the speeches delivered in the House OF
representatives on the occasion of the
passage OF the $50,000.OOO appropriation for
the national defense. Interspersed are
notes from American history explaining the
origin or familiar phrases. The booklet is
published by the Patriotic Publishing Com
pany. whose purpose 1t is to follow It with
quarterly presentations Of the same ma
trre along the lines Of awakening patriotic
feelings among the people. An effort Is to
be made to introduce the booklet in the
public schools.

Footwear
for Easter.
Ten-two r.

Thoughts for Easter natural
ly bring to mind the question
OF new footwear to go with the
Easter costume. We're ready
to show YOU what is by far the
largest and most complete
stock of fashionable footwear
we have ever shown at any
previous time-and to those
who know this store that
means something. We've al
ways been known for our ex-
elusive footwear creations-al-
ways been recognized as the
leader in Washington shoe cir
cles-and for this reason YOU
naturally look to us to display
everything that's proper and
correct. You'll never be dis
appointed, either-because we
shall always strive to live up to
the expectations of our pa
irons.
Do us the favor of looking
over the Easter showing of fine
footwear, won't you? A visit
will be profitable to you-put
you in touch with Springs
newest footwear fancies-and
suggest what you most want
to wear.
We sell footwear-and moth

gentlemen, misses and chill
dren. All our energy and
thoughts are directed upon this
one subject-shoes. Cannot
you readily see the advantage
we enjoy over the general
stores that keep a thousand

carry footwear as a small side
line in some out-of-the-way
corner?

Such orders take a little
longer time to fill than any

they be left with us at an early
date, so that you may not be

BORN IN A LOG CABIN.
But Has Since That Time Been in Almost Every Palace in Europe and
 Mexico.

Over LOGO people have passed in to the big auditorium of the Millie Chris tine show on Main street near the postoffice since the arrival here of the dual woman, the most won. derful curiosity in the world today. Of course, everybody has heard of Millte Christine, and hence the eager desire of everybody 10 see her. It is an opportunity which will never come to this city again, for the man ager has decided hereafter not to exhibit Millie Christine outside of big cities. All of those who have seen Millie Christine and eonversed with either of her two heads, declare that she is an exceptionally talented and brilliant woman.
 Last evening several of our most highly educated women were talk ing to her, one speaking to one head in German, while the ether talked to the other head in French.
 The two conversations were total ly on different subjects, yet handled by Mjllie Christine in the most de- lightful fashion and with French and German accent which was per fectly pure.
 1t is a great treat to watch the great curiosity and the people go to see her time after time, always com ing away more delighted and mysti- fled than before.
 No one should overlook the op- portGnity Of seeing her. So every body should go as it IS her last visit here.
 Can be seen daily between the hours of 2:3O and 4:3O, and 7:3O to 9.30.

There was no meeting of the stock holders In the Fair Association at the Citizens Bank yesterday for the luck of a quorum. It is certainly singular that In dull time like the holidays and where a concern so vi- tai to the interests of our city as the Fair is concerned, tLat there is not sufficient turn out of stockholders for the transaction of business. An other attempt will be made to hold meeting shortly.
