LAW AGAINST SPIKED
SHOES.
Maine Leg Drivers must change
Their Footgear When They
Come to Town.

The Maine Legislature has
passed a bill forbidding the
wearing of spiked shoes Oh
boots in public places and i'm.
posing heavy fines for viola
tions of the law. This is hailed
with JOY by the railroad com
panies, and the proprietors OF
hotels, barrooms and other
places frequented by river driv-
ers, according to the New York
Sun, for they have all suffered
greatly from the spiked shoe.
When the river drivers leave
the logs at the up>river booms
and board the trains for Bangor
they don't stop to change their
clothes, but come to town with
red ST irts nailed shoes and all.
They trod the car floors full of
little holes and tear rents III the
cushions of the seats, occasions
also jabbing few OF the spikes
into the insteps of unarmored
passengers. When they leave
the cars they proceed directly
to the saloons and there they
work more havoc. Last spring a
lot of drivers got into bar
room where a new maple floor
had just been laid, and after
they had crunched around the
place long enough to spend 81
for whiskey the floor looked as
though it had been peppered
with bird shot, and the saloon
keeper reckoned his loss at $40
He had made about 60 cents
profit on the drinks, and so he
charged up $39.4o to the spiked
shoes.

General Harrison Gray Otis

in high terms OF the work of the
volunteers troops in the Philip
pines saying their work through
out has been a delight to ole
army officers.
No complaints came from
them, even when exhausted from
their bitter work under the 5laz
ing tropical sun, but throughout
they showed the discipline OF
the regular soldier. To their
bravery and implicit obedience
of orders he gives unstlnted
praise.
There is no trouble" Gem
eral Otis said, "about the fights
ing on our side. Make a fairly
good plan of battle, send the
soldiers in under their officers,
hold them we'll in hand, give
them good rifles, and keep them
supplied with plenty of ammu~
milton, maintain strict fire dis
cipline. show them the enemy's
position, and the men will do
the rest.

Good-Ey to NewEate Prison.

1t has been decided by the authorities
of London that historic Newgate prison
and the Old Bailey sessions house shall
be pulled down to make room for a
spacious new sessions house. Newgate
has been a prison for over 500 years,
the original buildings, after being sew
eral times repaired, giving way to an
other structure in 1770 Before it was
entirely completed it was pillaged and
burned on June 6 and Z, 1880, by the
no-popery rioters, and after that
sum of $150,000 was devoted to repair
ing and completing the fabric, which
is considered by experts to be admir-
able in design and character. The
outer walls are nearly four feet thick.
On the opening of Whitecross street
prison in 1915 NeWgate ceased to be
used for debtors. and since 1882 it has
only been utilized for those awaiting
trial during sessions and for prisoners
condemned to death.

Betty's Arithmetic Lesson.

lovely round turnovers and studying
fractions. She had just begun to take
little n1bbles from the edge of the
turnover, Ito make it spend" wien
papa gave her question to work out.
From four-fourths take one-fourth.' -
Betty thought fractions dreadfully
stupid things. She didn't try to think
out the answer in the way papa had
explained to her over and over. But
guessed it would be "seven-eighths!"
and put it down on the paper that way.
Then she took another nibble out of
the side of her beloved turnover.
Papa looked at the answer and then
at Betty. Then he looked at the
turnover and lastly at shaggy old
Bruno, who had just come into the
room. He took out his knife, and
taking the turnover he cut it into four
quarters.
Nov, Betty he said, cheerfully,
cas- told you yesterday, and as you
see here, there are four-fourths or four
quarters, in the whole of anything.
Now If we take away one-fourth-
here, Bruno!Swhat is there left?"
Betty saw quarter of that beauti-
full turnover disappear down Bruno's
throat!

little gasp in her voice. -.
