their influence with the mandarin. BY
a concession on the part of the gov
eminent the Catholic priests have a
rank which gives them the right to
plead case before a mandarin. 1t has
been said that this right was abused
to such an extent that the people re-
volted. 'If a man did anything for
which he could be held" saba writer
on the subject, ''he would go to a
Catholic missionary and be converted.
In return the missionary would plead
his case, using his influence and mon
ey with the mandarin and the criminal
would go free. By that means the
number of converts has grown rapidly
and the natural hatred of the Chinese
toward the foreigners has been inten-
sified."

THE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today Is undoubtedly made by the w.
L. Douglas Shoe Co., of Brockton,
Mass. The one idea of this company
has always been to sell a shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the IS
shoes of any other concern. They are
able to do this on account of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
TO the wearer. In 60 of the principal
cities of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
In all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over 1,100 hands, and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration Nothing but union labor
is employed, and pay about the best
average wages of any shoe workers in
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to $17.435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and 1t is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denver

short of $4,000. The noteworthy and
