, The great stock of new shoes
J which we bought from the we'll
! known Seiberlich-kast Co. is
proving one of the biggest hits Of
! the season. The ,204 pairs in the
) Misses and Chidren's Shoes were
4 offered last week, and the demand
A for them was SO great, and visitors
5 were so pleased with the styles
y and selections, that in most cases
! not one pair, but two, three and
5 four pairs were purchased. Now
we can promise fully as good val
ues in the women's portion OF the
stock.
4 LOT No. I-Remenber that
these are new shoes, never before
offered at retail; that they are
! made by a factory that has a
splendid reputation for fine shoe
making, and that the styles are up
\ todate in every particular. Abb
solutely nothing wrong with the
shoes but the prices-and these
J. are very much out of the way
from the standpoint OF the manu-
facturer.
There are many different styles
of shoes in the collection-round
toes, pointed toes, and razor toes,
but all with patent leather tips;
low heels and spring heels; cloth
tops and kid tops. Not a bad style
! or poorly made shoe in the lot,
and just look at these prices.

The Reward of Vigor.

Perhaps the most dramatic reward
Lord Charles Beresford ever got for
valor was few years ago. One bitter
cold night, when his ship was off The
Falkland Islands, there was a cry Of
man overheard" The sentry had dis
appeared beneath the floating ice.
Though cad in heavy garments, Lord
Charles instantly seized coil of rope
and leaoed into the sea. II went down
and down and down." said Lord Charles
when relating the incident, until be-
gan to think that the other end of the
rope was not fastened to anything. At
last I grasped my man. the rope became
taut, and l began to ascend. The ships
corporal helped us both out" Fifteen
years afterwards Lord Charles was
speaking at a political meeting in sup
port OF Lord Folkestones candidature.
The hall was packed, and suddenly there
was a scufiie at the back. Chuck him
outi'' cried some one; but Lord Charles
invited the man to come up to the plat
form, and they would listen to what
he had to say. The man struggled for
ward in great excitement. He only
wanted to shake hands with his rescuer.
He was the sailor who had been saved
by Lord Charles from the icy sea off the
Falkland Islands.-St. James Gazette.
