Senator IIoar OF Massachusetts has
one grcnf weakness which is common
to men OF his location and habits OF
life. His horizon Is bounded by the
Allegheny mountains. lie has never
been west OF Chicago. and has seldom
straycd as far away from home ms
Buffalo or Pittsburg. He knows no
more OF western life and methods and
progress than II he lived In the center
OF England, aud whenever western
people diffcr from him In sentiment he
chnritnbiy believes II IN because they
iiave not had his advantages OF nsso-
ciation with the faculty OF Harvard
college and other wise and learned
men In Boston. II all the people Of the
earth could enjoy moral and inteiiec-
ttial contact with s'the better scnti-
inent of Massachusetts, that has been
his birthright. Mr.. Hoar would he very
thankful. but having been deprived OF
that blessed privilege they cannot dif-
Ter from him In opinion without being
entirely wrong. Mr. Hoar Inherited
this feeling from Charles Summer.
IL may surprise the readers of the
Record 10 learn that so good n man ns
the secretary OF the navy and so good
man ms the secretary of the interior
nave never been In the West. Mr. Bliss
went 10 Omaha with the President
last October and learned n great many
Things. Secretary Long has not even

ne accompanied the President on his
recent journey to Georgia. II would he

Only the rough. mudclotted shoes pro-

the last OF three promising sons.
STOPPING, he lifted the hat from the

BRAVE PHILADELPHIA BELL.
Seasons Debutante who Can Fight as
Well as Dance,

Well as Dance.
Miss Minnie Fell Is one of the most
exclusive debutantes of the austerely
exclusive set of prim philadelphia
this season. She Is a cousin OF the
Drexel brothers. and connected by
family ties with almost everyone of
note in the metropolis OF Pennsylvania
But Miss Fell is not only a society
girl. but an athlete as well, and II she
makes as good a run for the honors
of belledom as she made last week
in the athletic world she ough to be
a leader by the time the Lenten bells
ring. All her friends around town are
congratulating her on her courage and
presence of mind when she recently
captured burglar in broad daylight
on Broad street. She and Miss Pauline
Biddle had Just left the box office OF
a theater. where they had been pur-
chasing tickets, when burly negro
grabbed Miss Fell's pocketbook and
was on with rush. But Miss Fell
was "rusher" toe. She pursued him
down Broad street to SAMSON and
around the corners, until at Twelfth
and Walnut she overhauled him, and,
grabbing his coattails, hung on and
screamed until a policeman came to
her assistance. Owing to her desire
not to have the affair made public she
did not appear against the footpad,
who only got ninety days in conse-
quence; but such an escapade as that
was bound to come out, and now all
the town is talking about it.

Oad Oath. I'm oaur,.

In Austria Christian witness is
sworn before crucifix. between two
lighted candles. and. holding up his
right hand, says: Il swear by God.
the Almighty. and All Wise, that l
will speak the pure and full truth.
and nothing but the truth. in answer
TO ANYTHING may be asked by the
court" Probably the most curious
European oath is administered in Nor
way. The witness raises his thumb,
his forefinger and his middle finger.
These signify the Trinity. while the
larger OF the uplifted fingers is sup
posed to represent the soul Of the wit
ness and the smaller to Indicate his

age, Joseph Jefferson says: There

called the Broken Sword in which
we're two characters, Captain Xavier
and Pablo. The captain, in telling of
his exploits, said: 4 entered the woods

snort time ago several physicians
prominent In a special branch OF prac-
tice met to decide in what way they
could best bring to the attention OF
a colleague question that Interested
them greatly. This physician was al
most the best known in his speciality
In the city. but his charges, in view
OF his reputation. have always been
so moderate that his associates felt
the need OF protesting. But 1t was
decided not to protest. and the physi-
clan received only an intimation that
ms fees sometimes astonished his
protners in the profession. One physi-
cian In town has recently introduced
practice which is said to be increas-

and II Is likely that the custom will

terms OF his agreement to renew the
prescription except upon written or

get his bottle or box refilled unless he

doctor. The bottles are OF size that
lasts for week. In some cases the
same medicines are renewed week af-

Rabbit Chase which Leads to Une1pect-
ed Good Fortune.

v" boou foriuhes
We have all heard OF the good young
man who. because he was good, one
day found purse containing $4,000
900 In gold and who was thus enabled
to marry the daughter of the rich
candy woman, whom he had long
adored. says Forest and Stream.
Somewhat In this line are a couple OF
shooting stories which appear In the
daily press this week and which show
how good n thing It is to be n true
sportsman. In one case a hunter was
chasing a rabbit. which took refuge
In a hole In stone wall The hunter
reached his hand into the hole, after
the rabbit, but drew forth instead of
the game a long-lost marriage certifi-
cate. which had by reason of its alb
sence caused for some years a distinct
family disturbance. In another case
poor but honest sportsman was out
squirrel hunting. He shot and wound
ed a squirrel and in return for his
kindness the squirrel ran into a hol-
low tree. Reaching down into the
hollow. the sportsman pulled out box
full OF gold coin OF ancient date but
OF much intrinsic value. There are
many of us who have hunted for many
years and have never found either n
marriage certificate or a box OF gold.
but we should not be DISCOURAGED; IL
we are good we shall perhaps some
day be rewarded by some such dis
covery.

Bingham on N, Contln,n..

A correspondent notes the growth
of the use OF English on the continent.
wherever he went he was able to con-
verse with statesmen end diplomatists
in his native tongue. He found that
as a rule the governing classes in Eu-
rope would understand and speak Eng
lish. In the Russian royal family es-
pecially English is the familiar Lam
guage of conversation. The czar. for
instance. invariably speaks English to
the czarina and his little daughters

Edison. Plan for Removing Snow.

Edison's latest suggestion is that
snow can be removed from city streets
not by melting machines. but by port
able steam power compressors. which
will scoop up the snow in steel scoop
buckets and squeeze It into cakes Tx
12xf2 inches in volume, which will be
practically solid ice. Carts and mep
following the compressor can take up
the cakes with tongs as they drop to
the street. says Edison. and market
can be found for enough snow cubes to
pay the interest on the cost of the
machinery.

TREATMENT FOR THE SHOES.
How Little Care win Keep Thsm
Looking Orderly.

Looking Orderly.
Winter is difficult season OF the
year for the careful woman who is
particularly neat about her trinity
shod feet Snow is as dishsuring as
mud on nicely. polished leather and
rubbers certainly do not add to their
cleanly appearance. But n little care
Will keep them In orderly nicencss.
When you remove your heavy street
boots. don't toss them away in the
closet all rumpled. Take time to
stretch the uppers trlfe to straight
en- out the lacing wrinkles. Do the
same with the tongue Brush on the
dust and II they are damp put them
where a current OF air can thoroughly
dry them. Banana skins make an ex-
ceilent dressing and keep the leather
soft They are especially nice for
cleaning enameled or patent leather.
II your feet perspire freely use n good
antiseptic powder freely busted in the
shoes; 1t Will rest the feet and save
the stocking. The CRIME and dust In
the shoestring are very hard on the
hands, as the dirt is ground into the
flesh where the strings are drawn up
tightly. Don't be stingy with shoe
strings. Your dealer will furnish
them free of charge. so change them
often. Besides being clean. they add
greatly to the appearance OF the shoe.
Watch your heels and have them re-
paired at the first Indication of wear
ing on at one side. Nothing so dis
figures your gait or looks more untidy
than rundown heels. besides the shoe
soon loses its shape where the heel
turns and will break where the un-
wonted strain is occasioned by the
twisted shoe.
