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 Brocktor.
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 LOO 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 sl7.435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and 1t Is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denyei

Der OF inquisition and the scene Of
punishment; but 1t stuck so vigorously
In his mind that he must instantly
approach the door and prove its un-
truth. As he went, he struck upon a
drawer left open in the business table.
II was the money-drawer, measure
or his fathers disarray: the money
drawer-perhaps' pointing provi-
dence! Who is to decide, when even
divines differ between providence and
temptation? or who, sitting calmly
under his own vine, is to pass judy
ment on the doings of poor, hunted
dog, slavishly afraid, slavishly rebel
lious, like John Nicholson on that par
ticular Sunday? His hand was in the
drawer, almost before his mind had
conceived the hope; and rising to his
new situation, he wrote, sitting in his
fathers chair and using his fathers
blotting-pad, his pitiful apology and
farewell:
My Dear Father:--I have taken the
money, but / will pay it back as soon
as ! am able. You will never hear of
me again. did not mean any harm
by anything, SO hope you will try and
forgive me. | wish you would say
goodbye to Alexander and Maria, but
not IL you don't want to. / could not
wait to see you, really Please try to
forgive me. Your affectionate son,
John Nicholson
The coins distracted and the missive
written, he could not be gone too soon
from the scene of these transgressions:
and remembering how his father had
once returned from church, on some
slight illness, in the middle of the sec
ond psalm, he burst not even make a
packet of change of clothes. Attired
as he was, he slipped from the paternal
doors, and found himself in the cool
spring air, the thin spring sunshine.

which was now only pointed by the
cawing OF the rocks. There was not
a soul in Randolph Crescent nor a
soul in Queensferry street: in this out
door privacy and the sense of escape,
couh tooh ucdfl again, ana with
pathetic sense of leave-taking he even
ventured up the lane and stood awhile,
a strange peri at the gates of a quaint
paradise, by the west end OF st.
Georges Church. They were singing
within; and by strange chance, the
tune was "St. Georges Edinburgh"
which bears the name, and was first
sung in the choir of that church. "Who
is this King of Glory?" went the voices
from within; and, to John, this was like
the end of all Christian observances.
for he was now to be wild man like
lshmael, and his life was to be cast in
homeless places and with goddess peo-
pie.
1t was thus, with no rising sense OF
the adventurous, but in mere desola-
ton and despair, that he turned his
back on his native city, and set out
on foot for California, with more i'm
mediate eye to Glasgow.

The assessment returns on live stock
show a decided increase in the number
returned for last year. The total NUM-
Der Of cattle returned is 95657 head,
which is an increase of 1882 over
last year. These figures would appear
to sustain the general belief that q
large number Of range cattle are estray
about the time the assessor Is on his
rounds. The total returns of all coun-
ties west Of the river Is 222.661 head.
The total number of sheep returned is

over last year. OF this number 1889

next week, probably Tuesday. for a
mandamus execution upon the city
controller to compel him to pay GER
tain judgments now outstanding. A
similar application was made some
time ago and was refused.
The controllers custom Is to pay the
oldest judgments first, out of the ut
tcrly inadequate appropriation made
every year for judgments and inciden-
tails. The parties who will apply for
the mnndamus. it Is believed, have
judgments of as late a date as 1896.
whereas there are some as far back
as 1897. which have not yet been paid,
This only emphasizes again the ne
cessity ~ having a bond issue to clean
up these judgments. Controller Howell
favors this plan and will call the at
tention Of councils to the matter in
the near future. There are now out
standing nearly $SG.o00 worth of judg-
ments, and t. pay these councils APP
rropriatcG this year only $l2,6Sc.14. Not
only this but this appropriation is
drawn upon for various things when "A
councilman finds no ether place to
take money from.
These judgments draw six per cent.
interest whereas bonds would only
draw four per cent. so that with this
common sense argument those favoring
such an issue believe that If put to n
popular vote the proposition 20 issue
bonds could be easily carried.
