Modesty is complex. The modest
woman is the one who wears her heart
where the DAVIS cannot peck at it, and
who keeps her own affairs to herself She
is the woman who doesn't talk loudly in
public and who doesn't overdress. Mod
esty does not cover; 1t simply does not
recognize the existence of some sins
There are women who are as exquisitely
modest as the angels, women who could
put out their hands and lift up the other
woman who has fallen and never feel
they were soiling the tips of their fingers.
The modest woman is the charitable one,
for modesty and charity are twin sis

The Irish Patriot Priest to Be Pre-
sented With a Testimonial.

opportunity of again hearing Rev. Father
Sheehy, the Irish patriot priest, lecture

Topics of Special Interest in Ireland S
Past and Present"
Father Sheehy, before he leaves the
city, will be presented with a testimonial
by many of the prominent Catholics Of
the city. A meeting for the purpose was
held in the California Hotel last Tues
day evening. Thomas r. Bannerman
was chosen president and R. j. Roche
secretary
In order to insure a perfect success of
the lecture 1t was decided that immedi-
ate steps should be taken to have a
crowded house to greet him, in token of
his noble efforts as an Irish Nationalist
for the cause of the motherland Sew
eral addresses were made at the meet
ing, prominent among which was that de-
liVered by r. c. O'Connor. After con-
sideration it was decided to call the la
dies in to assist in making the lecture
a success. Tickets were distributed at
the meeting and undoubtedly the sales
will be unusually large.
The lecture promises to be one of the
most interesting and instructive enter
tainments ever given in the city. 1t will
be profusely illustrated with views from
all parts of Ireland.

The ligaments are gradually stretched
until they cease to hold up the arch.
Thin-soled boots increase the trouble.
They afford too little support for the
curved instep and do not protect the
ball from the conclusion when the
rider jumps to the ground. Physicians
recommend only calfskin boots with
ing. The high heels irritate the
nerves of the feet and cause an adj
ditional shock, as the heel reaches the
ground at the same moment as the
ball. which is not the case when the
foot is in normal position.
Traumatic fiatfoot is so called in dis
tinction from congenltal flatfoot. 1t is
frequently treated as rheumatism,
which it somewhat resembles. In
fammation of the muscles is one of
the results of the sagging ligaments.
The delicate bones, thus relieved of
their natural support, press upon the
nerves, causing intense pain.
The treatment for bicycle foot is
prolonged rest and an artificial arch.
The X-rays show whether the bones
are displaced. If they are, plaster
cast of the foot is made, and from this
the manufacturers of surgical instru-
ments construct a steel brace to fit
the instep. This is placed inside a
thick soled boot, and must be worn un-
til the strained tendons become strong
and assume their natural place.
Men are seldom afflicted with the
bicycle foot, for the reason that they
are more generally careful in the mat
ters of footwear and in dismounting.

why he didn't proceed with the worl

done to 1t.
The patience of the patron was really
getting exhausted. The reply was as
original as it was characteristic of the
country. With mind conscious OF
rectitude and heart full OF devotion
to his work, the artist said that when
he came to make the OK required in the
foreground he knew not whether the
expression of its face in autumn might
not be different from what it is at
other seasons Of the year, so he had
been waiting through the spring and
summer for autumn, and now that it
had arrived he would study the ami
mails face and the sword case would be
ready in few days.
The answer was deemed satisfactory
and the artist was not again questioned
or disturbed and his work when COM
pleted received due priase.-Pearson 5

THE BICYCLE FOOT.
Another Ill Apt to Befall the Woman
Who Rides a Wheel.

The bicycle foot is a new disease
that has been developed by women
riders this summer. Its surgical name
Is traumatie tlat-foot, and 1t is caused
by wearing the thin-soled French
heeled boots which are fashionable
for wheeling this season, and also
from careless or incorrect mounting.
As rule, women do not know how
to jump. They have not learned and
seem to be without the instinct which
men possess to land on their feet with
a spring, bending the knees and es-
Gaping the jolt which follows II the
knees are kept rigid. As conse-
quence. most women get the head
ache from jumping, and the bicycling
women, who give slight attention to

hard pavements with unnecessary en-

tendons to such degree that the
proper arch OF the foot is lost. It is
not done at once, but the foot Is some-
times months in getting out Of shape.
