ANCIENT ADVERTISING.
Picturesque Emblems with Which
Tradesmen Once Made Their
Wares and Occupations known.

A noticeable survival of the pictur-
esque old fashion of hanging emblems
outside shops which dealt with the
goods to be sold within, is the sign
of the boot, which one may often see
hanging outside a shoemaker's shop,
says the London News.
Sign boots are made in two or three
standard sizes and of other sizes to
order. They are most commonly seen
gilded, but sign boots are occasionally
finished in some bright color, as, for
instance, brilliant red.
The boot signs may be bought in
the establishment of the dealer in
emblem signs, where there are also
to be found the gilded fishes for the
dealer in fishing tackle, the great
gilded padlocks for the hardware
dealer, and variety of other signs
of an emblematic character.
Besides these familiar gilded or
painted smaller boots there is occa-
sionally seen in front of shoe stores
a giant boot, with the foot part per-
haps three or four feet in length and
the leg in proportion, four or five or
six feet tall.
These great boots, of which the
number used is limited, are made of
sheet iron or tin and painted. They
are not kept in stock for sale.-Lon-

REn1AN INVASION.
sensational Report from Dankirk' ~
r.. That an Invasion CANADA
Is Contemplated.

Rnffalo N. Y, Dec. 27.-A speclai
from Dunkirk says: "The Fenians are
said to be organizing here for an inVa-
s;on of Canada. A man known to have
lnowledoe of the condition OF Fenlan
Affairs in Dunkirk says this city has
been called upon to raise 600 men to
form a part of New York's quota OF the
1os n0o men that are to be enrolled
throughout the country. Al the pres
emit time 500 men are known to De mus
tered with the Fenians here, and the
remaining 100 will be obtained with
little difficulty. 1t is currently report
ed and extensively credited that the
Fenians have two carloads OF arms ana
munitions of war in concealment IN or
near this city. This material is SAID 10
have been in the possession of the Dun
kirk Fenians for some years"
Boston, Dec. GA movement look
ing to the invasion of Canada by The
Fenians and Advanced Irish Ma
tionalists has been agitated for some
time by leaders of these organizations
in and around Boston. Col. Roger r.
Scanned, who has been identltled WITH
Irish agitations for many years, SAID
that there was to be meeting or
prominent Irish nationalist in Phil
adelphia next Sunday or Monday to
discuss the question of invading Can
ada. Col Scanned said that the pres
emit would be a good time for the in
vasion, as the troops of Canada are be-
ing sent away to take part in the At
rican war.
Washington, Dec. 27.-The British
ambassador, Lord Pauncefote, has
made no protest to the authorities
here relative to the reported organized
movements in various parts of the
country in behalf of the Beers, includ-
ing the alleged Fenian movement, all
though these matters were subjects
for discussion between Secretary Hay
and the ambassador as late as Tues
day afternoon. The only attention
which the embassy is giving to these
reports is to keep advised through the
British consuls at various points as
to any movements of Importance. Thus
far, however, nothing has come from
the consuls to indicate that any of the
movements were more than local and
trifling. All of the advices show there
has been nothing in the way of gen.
eral organization. AS is usually the
case in times of war, the British OFF,
Gals receive many letters offering to
disclose secret movements or to sell
balloons, explosives and various other
novel war inventions. But as most of
these are anonymous they receive no
attention

IT WAS DEWEY'S TREAT.
Once Each Season the Admiral Sends
One Hundred Orphans to
the Theater.

SIN 1885," said Col. Frank Small, ad-
vance agent for theatrical company,
according to the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-.
crat, 81 was in Washington with Rose
Coghlan, playing at what was then AL
baugh's opera house. One afternoon I
was in the box Office when three ladies
came in, followed by 100 children, boys
and girls. One of these ladies stepped
up to the window and said: we have
just an even hundred children here, and
here is a check for $25 to pay for the
tickets for them. She handed In a
check signed George Dewey, and the
tickets were passed out to the lady.
The happy youngsters were soon en-
joying the play. didn't know George
Dewey from Adams off OK, and 1 asked
the ticket man who he was. He told
me that Mr.. Dewey was a naval officer,
and that it was not the first time that
he had handled his checks in that way;
that once each season, anyway, the chill
dren from some of the several orphan
asylums were given such treats by the
gentleman, but that he seldom attend
ed a performance himself. Now, have
been in the theatrical business for many
years, but that was the first time |
ever knew any one person to be thought
full enough to put up $25 for the pur-
pose of affording enjoyment to the chill
dren of an orphan asylum"

Over fha Fan

A wisconsin paper reports an Indians
remarkable escape from death. He was
one OF driving crew that broke big
jam above Sturgeon Falls. He attempt
ed TO cross the river on log, and to
the horror Of the spectators, was car
ried over the falls. The falls are 40
feet high, and consist of two pitches
and the rapids. OF course the man was
given up for dead, and the driving crew
thought it useless to search the river
for his body. as the logs were piling over
the falls at rapid rate. The next
morning, however, the Indian walked
into camp for breakfast. He had been
swept down the river and up against the
bank, where he managed to crawl out
FINDING only few scratches and
bruises but being, as he remarked,
rather tired" he lay down and slept
until daylight, and was none the worse
for his adventure.

DUTCH LOVE SUNDAYS.
Four Sabbaths in November Are Fete
Days I'm the Land of bikes
and bitches.

The four Sundays of November are
observed as fete days in Holland.
They are known by the curious names
of Review, Decision, Purchase and
Possession, and all refer to matri-
monial affairs, November in Holland
being the month par excellence de-
voted to courtship and marriage, prob.
ably because the agricultural occupa-
tons of the year are over, and pos.
sibly because the lords of creation
from quite remote antiquity have rec.
ognized the pleasantness of having
wives to cook and cater for them dur.
ing the long winter, says the Denver
News.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there is
church parade in every village, when
the youths and maidens gaze upon
each other, but forbear to speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking a wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with ceremoni.
Gus bow, and from her manner of re.
spending judges whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the
consent of the parents is sought if the
snit has prospered during the week
Not till Possession Sunday, however
do the twain appear before the world
as actual or prospective brides and
grooms. s'7sd

SCOTT TO RESIGN.
One of Our District Judges to
Quit the Bench.

Grinnell, Dec. 27.-There is we'll
defined rumor circulating here that
Judge Johnj T. Scott is about to re-
sign his seat as district Judge. 1t has
been known for some time that the
judge found his duties onerous and
that, like the warhorse when he
smells the powder, the judge longs to
take part again in the fray. AS a
judge he has given most excellent
satisfaction. The Judge is very do
nestle. He is devoted to Mrs. Scott,
who is an invalid, and it is very try
ing to be away from his home. Mrs.
Scott loves the little city of Brooklyn
and its people and were it not for
her Discrimination to leave Brooklyn,
where she has lived so many years,
it is more than likely that Judge
Scott would now be practicing law in
Grinnel. Rumor has it that he is
now negotiating for the Office and
library of the late Judge Winslow, of
Newton, with view to settling there
in the near future.

A NEW HORSE FARE.
The Curiosity OF the Man Who Saw
Bread Delivered at a Stable
Was Satisfied.

A delivery wagon of one of the big
breadbaking factories of YorkVille
stopped in front of an uptown livery
and boarding stable the other morn
ing, and two men at once unloaded
barrels of bread ard carried them into
the stable, says the New York Jour-
nal. The bread looked good, and was
good. There were all sorts and sizes
of loaves in the barrels-"homemade,"
s'rye," Vienna" potato" graham
and cottage"
The curiosity of man who saw
the bread being delivered to the stable
was aroused, and he ventured to ask
the proprietor of the steble what 1t
meant.
There's nothing remarkable about
it." said the proprietor. with laugh.
81 simply buy it for horse feed. we
grind the bread up and mix II win
other feed. and it makes frst-class
food for horses. It is stale bread and
costs us 40 cents barrel, and there
are so or 60 loaves to the barrel; SO
you see it comes pretty cheap. Some
of the bread is only day old, and is
good enough for any man TO eat
but the bread factories cannot sell IL.
What Won see here are returned loaVes
from the groceries. I'll bet there Is
MANY a soldier who would ike 10
have had as good bread in the war.
