A much felt want is filled at last.
Every mother knows how much faster
the foot portion of stocking wears
than the upper part. Re-vamping
etocking with feet cut from the legs
of old ones was never an entirely sat
lsfactory expedient, as the seams were
uncomfortable. New separate feet
may be bought, ready to be sewed to
the legs OF worn stockings. This is
boon which few mothers Of large fam
lies win fail to appreciate. The feet
may be had in cotton and merino WOOL
The former are sold at ten cents and
the latter at fifteen cents per pair, a
reduction being made when the feet
are bought by the half dozen pairs.

scandalous liar, who makes mischief in
your home, or among your friends, and
who is one of the greatest curses of So
cial life. There is the man who lies for
profit and he also is a danger-to the
trustful and unwary. Then there is
the man who lies because of his own
exaggerated sense of self-importance
and the constant craving to astonish or
interest other people. He is almost
harmless and is generally a man of ex-
cessive amiability, Then there is the
purely humorous liar, who is an un-

| had written for a magazine poem
called England to America" One Of
these gentle prevaricators told me that
he had received letter from Prince
Bismarck about 1t and made a grope in
his pocket and hunted through heap
of documents. He was awfully sorry
that he had left Bismarcks letter at
home. He remembered now exactly
where he had bestowed 1t and he would

Yes; the letter about your poem. The
letter from the kaiser; told you about
it yesterday" you forgot the kaiser
yesterday; you only spoke of Bis
marck" Really? Is that SO? Well,
I've got 'em both today" There was a
new search and there were new lam
entations. How could he have come
to be so stupid He had left both
letters at home and what pity it was

evening! He finally overdrew his ac-

from that distinguished mans own lips
that I was in the running for the lau-

was that outside this aimless, shame

Cuba Will Cost Something.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Immediately
upon the ratification of the peace
treaty by the senate, the president
will recommend to congress the en-
actment of legislation looking to the
settlement of the claims of American
citizens for damages sustained in
Cuba, Porto Rico and other Spanish
possessions which formed the seat Of
war. These claims, to the amount of
s26, 000,0 600 on this score, have already
been lodged with the state depart
ment. 1t is true that an unknown
proportion of these are claims based
upon Expectations committed ty
Cuban insurgents, for which it is
questionable whether the Spanish
government could be held responsible.
On the other hand,sit Is believed that
there are many claims for large
amounts that have not been present.
ed, owing to the inability of the
claimants to secure the necessary
corroboratiye evidence during the
Spanish occupation of the evacuated
territories or because of the belief
that it would be frultlesS to present
any claim so long as Spanish sOver.
eighty was maintained.
Now, however, by an article in the
treaty of Paris, the United States
has assumed liability for all claims
preferred by its citizens on account Of
depredatiOns, or, 10 fact, on any
proper score. In turn, the Spanish
assumed liability for any claim that
might have been made On account Of
Spanish citizens or the Spanish gov
ernment itself against the United
States.
What such claims would have
amounted to cannot be estimated
None were filed with the United
States government prior to the declar
alton of war. But it is recalled tina
there was much criticism on the par
of high Spanish officials Of the ALLEGED
failure OF the United States to oh
serve the requirements Of the neutral
ity laws, and more than one statemen
was made to the effect that til
Spanish government intended t
nresent a claim for round Eumber 0
