owner of the trademark Foot t-Ease," and
he is the first individual who ever advertised
foot powder extensively over the coun-
try. He will send sample Free to anyone
who writes him for il. The decision in this
case upholds his Trademark and renders
all parties liable who fraudulently attempt
to profit by the extensive Foot Ease" ad-
vertising, in placing upon the market spu-

great is her skill with that weapon
that even the smallest animal falls an
easy prey to her unerring aim. The

fellows and they were discussing the

the boy to the Chinese minister's son.

it. What is the question, anyway"
The Sunday school student, the son
Of naval officer, looked at the little
Chinaman and answered.:
This is it: What's the meaning of
the Rble question:: In my Fathers
house there are many mansions"
The naval officers son felt confident
that he had "stumped' the minister's
sen. But he reckoned without his
host. The little Chinaman looked with
contempt at the American.

means? In my Fathers house there
