TUESDAY, JULY A. 1899.
THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

The Fourth OF July, celebrated as the
birthday Of American liberty, since the
Declaration Of Independence was sign
that is patriotic in the hearts and minds
Of American citizens.
There is special reason why the day
sh5u7u7es g ttlnglsS x. celebrates this year.
Not only has the country passed
through a foreign war in which the
God OF nations carried the Stars and
Stripes TO victory, but large measure
of internal prosperity has returned to
bliss and land with smiling peace and
plenty. There are today fewer men
without means OF an honest livelihood
than at any time in the past decade,
and while the pcssimistc demaEogue
is abroad in the land and is seeking
to pervcrt the truth, there is larger
measure of patriotism ana undivided
loyalty apparent now than at any time
in the history of the United States
Theory has become certainty ana there
is no North, no South, no East, no
West, but glorious country united
in its devotion to the highest conception
Of liberty and civilization.
This natal day Of the notion should
appeal to all citizens of this fortune
favored land as an occasion for joyful
celebration Of an anniversary which
/ has meant so much to humanity

AT the engagement of Las Guasimas,
says the New York Sun, Capt. Ayyln
X. Capron, of the Rough Riders, son of
Capt. Capron, Sr., was killed. His hat
was placed to cover his face, a black
rubber poncho thrown over the body.
Only the rough, mudclotted shoes pro-
truded from beneath the poncho Word
was sent to Capt. Capron. Sir, and he
soon reached the scene of the engage
ment. White-faced, but upright, he
stood for moment looking down at
that black, forbiddlng outline in a by
path of thicket-all that remain of
the last of three promising sons.
STOPPING, he lifted the hat from the
dead boys face, and gazing at him
with moist eyes said; well done
boy!" Then replacing the hat he
turned on his heel and marched stifly
away.

FOR THE SHOES.



Winter is d diiff,coit season CT tho
year for the careful woman who is
particularly neat about her trinity
shod feet. Snow is as disfiguring as
mud on nicely polished leather and
rubbers certainly do not add to their
clearly appearance. But little care
will keep them in orderly niceness.
When you remove your heavy street
boots, don't toss them away in the
closet all rumpled. Take time to
stretch the uppers trifie to straight
en- out the lacing wrinkles. Do the
same with the tongue. Brush off the
dust and If they are damp put them
where a current of air can thoroughly
dry them. Banana skins make an ex-
cellent dressing and keep the leather
soft. They are especially nice for
cleaning enameled or patent leather.
If your feet perspire freely use 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 off at one side. Nothing so dis
