HOW TO WEAR SHOES.
But Few Know How to Get the Most
service and Comfort Out of
Their FootKear.

Considerable difference will be found
IN the wearing qualities of two pairs
of shoes of the same quality and make
worn by different persons. No shoes
worn continuously in the house and in
doors will give rs much wear as pair
of shoes worn one day and then left to
rest day. 1t saves money to wear
cheap house shoes within doors and let
the shoes worn outdoors rest and get
back into shape while the owner is
within doors. Keep an old pair of shoes
to wear under india-rubbers. The per
spiration of the feet which india-rubber
excites ruins good leather. Select strong
calfskin, and keep it well oiled in win
ter for outdoor shoes. Low shoes are
better for house wear, because they
give the foot a chance to be ventilated
as the hand is. In spite of its con-
tinual exposure, the hand is not afflict-
ed as the foot SO often is with corns,
callous places and chilblains. This is
because it is continually exposed to the
air. Even when kid gloves are worn
they do not compress the hand so much
as the average boot does the foot, and
they are not worn continually as a boot
is.-N. Y. Tribune.

Debenham had some reason for his eS-

And you will not think the worse of

went on. Really, he was getting posi-
lively absurd, from his voice one would
have supposed that he was prisoner

''Oh, think better Of you" she cried.
Il shall never forget your kindness.
And as she gave him her hand she
blushed in ridiculous fashion.
Then Debenham made an ass of him

Proprr care of the H.lr.

Cut third of an inch off your hair
when the moon is new, and do the same
the next month when the moon is full.
Every night give it good brushing,
being careful not to scratch the scalp.
Use the brush while dressing the hair
when possible in place of the comb.
Wash hair every six weeks, using warm
water and any mild toilet soap; rinse
first with warm water with little bo-
rax, and then use clear, cold water. DIR,
thoroughly. II the hair falls out and
u very dry, rub little oil on the scalp.

no M.kc . New Hat

This is tale told of n poor but styl-
ish young woman who wore the same
hat winter and summer for five years.
In the summer she wore ii tipped for
ward as a shade hat; winters she turned
1t around and wore it for picture hat.
Whichever way you wear your hat be
sure that it is, trimmed around the
crown with soft material, the more the
better. Fashionable milliners will show
you a great roll of crinoline which they
intend to cover with chiffon, to be rolled
around the crown. A roll as large as
you arm is none too much. At the
side you can stand few quilts, or you
can mass there bunch of flowers until
they tower very high.

EMPIRE GOWN FOR LITTLE GIRL
which are sewed on by hand as often
machine stitching makes the velvet
draw.
In this case the little Empire gown
is made of figured challie. The skirt
has no lining and the sleeves are full
from the shoulder to the elbow where
they are gathered upon deep bond Of
velvet or silk.
The hat to wear with this little dress
is rough straw Of bright hue with
very broad brim and fat crown, which
is almost entirely concealed behind an
immense bow of ribbon.
Dark figured ducks, ginghams and
piques are highly recommended for
the making of children's dresses. Lin

that the woman with several little
bodies to clothe seldom feels that she
can afford to supply each one with
gown of the heavy brown goods.

THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE
Writer. Comes Very Near Ak.
to WorshiD-

The Dutch woman is before aud abovs
all things housewife. Indeed, her
love of home comes very near akin t<
worship, and the greatest compliment
that can be paid to her is to praise tho
neatness and sweetness of the house
that is her kingdom. She is famous all
the world over for her remarkable
cleanliness, and even in the very poor
quarters of the cities, where the houses
are small and crowded together, the
windows are daintily decked with cur.
tains of spotless white, the rooms well
swept and tidy, the humble ferniture
carefully busted and polished. This de-
sire for cleanliness. in fact, almost
amounts to . craze, and housewives
and servants alike evince a strong par
tiality for scrubbing, cleaning and
washing. Even in well-to-do families
a domestic training is considered nat
ural and necessary adjunct to the
daughters education, and each has GER
tain household duties apporAnned to
her. She is likewise taught to make her
own dresses, to knit her own stockings,
and to keep her wardrobe IN repair
Nor does she shirk these duties as it ia
to be feared SO many of her English sis
ters do: on the contrary, they are car
ried out faithfully. cheerfully, and a.
matter of course, and it is due to this
excellent training in her girlhood that
the Dutch woman makes SO model q
housewife. We might go further and
say that it is through this training
that the Dutch pirl has earned the rem.
utation of being free and light Of
heart, and . stranger to the feeling Of
ennui," since she is always healthful-
ly and helpfully employed.-The Girls

FLORENCE GOT EVEN.
How She Curtniied the Calls sf
Her Privileged Elder Sisters
Young Men.

There are three sisters living in .
fashionable portion of the South side.
each of whom has particular young
man. The devotion of each of the young
men is sufficient to make him visit the
young woman of his choice at least
three evenings week. As the number
of evenings in week is limited, it often
happens that the three young men call
on the three sisters on the same night.
The proud mother is unable to re-
alize that all her girls are grown up.
and still clings 70 the delusion that her
youngest daughter is still little girl.
Many are the trials of the youngest
springing from that delusion. One Of
her heaviest burdens is the rule that
her caller must leave promptly at ten
o'clock, although her sisters callers are
allowed to stay until they are moved of
their own free will to depart. What is
more, the youngest believes that her
mother does not care to what extent she
is mortified. Consequently, many are
the evenings when the youngest daugh-
ter has nearly died of chagrin to hear
her mothers voice call from above:
Florence, it's ten o'clock. You must
be excused now" To make matters
worse, Florence is morally certain that
her sisters derive great deal of merri.
ment from her trying experiences. So
she recently planned and carried out
dire revenge.
The mother usually retires soon after
her daughters callers arrive. AS soon
as she goes upstairs decided change in
the plan of entertainment takes place
in the parlors below. Instead of three
couples chatting together in the front
room, as mother has seen them, there is
one couple in the parior, one in the
library and one in the dining-room.
This was exactly the state of affairs q
fewevenings ago, when, just as the clock
struck ten, the customary voice fioated
down from above, and Florence wended
her way upstairs. She had barely
reached the landing when she heard un-
mistakable sounds of merriment COM
ing from the parlor and library. She
undressed slowly and waited until II
o'clock. just as the big library clock
was striking, the interested couples be-
low were startled to hear voice, SEEM
ingly maternal, from above. which said:
Girls, do you hear the clock? Pm
ashamed of you. Come right upstairs
this minute!"
There were hurried leavetakings, q
hasty Strengthening of chairs and put
ting out of lights, and two pairs of feet
quickly tip-toed upstairs. A few sec
onds later, when her second sister crept
into the room, Florence was lying with
a peaceful expression on her sleeping
face, to the great relief of the fiurried
on-looker.
The mother wondered why her older
girls acted SO peculiarly at breakfast
the next morning, and why they left for
the university without kissing her good
by. And she wondered still more. later
in the day, when she found her little
girl rolling on the bed with a pillow
stuffed in her mouth and shrieking with
laughter. The older sisters do not
know to this day the trick played ON
them.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The report that the teamer.carrled

terrific sea to reach the stranded

CRUSHED BY THE TRAIN
So Officers BeIieve-Was a
Member Of The 5. of T.
F. In Good Standing
In San MarCiaI.

It is believed that there were other
and contributory Causes leaiing to the
death of Frank Kelly besides the fatal
rush of a train which left him a man
gled, lifeless mass of flesh.
Close examination at Nagley and
Lyons morgue disclosed the fact that
besides the crushed feet aud head,
there were other marks OF violence on
the body.
There were jagged wounds in the
throat made by blunt instrument,
probably an old butcher knife.
"These wounds did not cause deasb,"
said Mr.. II. Stephens, who made a
postmortem examination this morning.
''But they undoubtedly contributed
to the mans death. The jugular vein
aud the carotid artery are
untouched. The wounds were
not made by dagger. but by
a short, broad, blunt instrume ut, prob
ably butcher knife. They no doubt
caused so great loss of blood that the

T. A. Harrell is the name of a man
In the employ of Goodwin and Wad-
dlington. contractors. He was work
ing out near the Mesa school wit b
his team yesterday, and saw man
whom he has identified as the dead
man, careeuing along, as though drunk,
with CHASTITY wounds in his throat from
which the blood was pouring.
The theory that Deputy Ten Eyck
holds is that Farrell, suffering from
delirium trem ems, atte n pied to cut his
own throat, and that his unstea eady hand
made the job bad one. Then ex-
hausted, perhaps, or still with intent to
take his own life, he sat down on the
track and was killed by the cars.
This theory seems plausible, since he
is known recently to have lost his
watch, papers and money.
Telegrams have been ssent to the
master mechanic of the Santa Fe at
San Marcial and to the lodge of the
B. of L. F. at Ft. Wayne Ind. of which
he was member.

that Kelly WAS a member in good

Beck, young planter of Bibb county,
has sued the Western Union Telegraph
company for $40, 600 damages in the
United States court here. He claims
that the company caused him to lose
his wife. Beck and a man named Rang
land, and third whose name is not

Miss Dora Ward, of Centersville, Ala.
Each suitor was pressing for favor

wired each on the same day tha. such
an answer would be given the first
suitor to reach her. Rangland WAS
the first to reach Miss Ward and
welded her. Beck, who was 20 miles

damages for his lacerated feelings.
