Decided Hit

Is what the NEW. dances taught by Prof. Bailey are making with the pu- pills in the advanced class. Very pret- ty and graceful, so they say. To new beginners we teach the Waltz and Two-Step principally in strictly begin ners' classes, and guarantee perfect success. especially if you have never taken lessons. Your overwise friends may say you can ''pick it up." h. deed, very poor advice. Dancing is no more correctly acquired in that way than music. Terms S5 and $6

STOLE SHOES
And the Constable Had
Lively Experience Land
ing Him.

Tuesday afternoon a fellow walked
into Charley Henry's shoe store on N.
Market street and said that he had come
for that pair of shoes that he had spoken
to the proprietor about. There was no
one in the place but little girl at the
time and she said she did not know any
thing about 1t. The fellow said he could
find the shoes and SO he picked out a
good pair worth $3.50 and said they were
the ones. He took the shoes along and
told the girl he had seen Henry and 1t
was all right. When Henry came home
he found 1t was all wrong. He had not
seen anybody. Investigation showed
that the chap was a Snowman at the
Pawnee Bill show. Henry went to Mas
sillon where the show was on Tuesday.
He found a man named N. II. Prince
that he thought was the fellow and
brought him along. At the show
grounds the pals Of Prince made quite a
demonstration and 1t looked for time
as though there would be trouble. Re-
volvers began to peep out from under
coat tails and for q few minutes things
looked serious. The constable was re.
inforced with Masallon policeman
and the showmen finally subdued. The
girl In the store said Prince was the
man but he denied 1t. He said he knew
who did take the shoes and that IL wal

Mrs. Broadway tapped her spoon
sharply against the edge Of her saucer.
When she spoke she struck right out
from the shoulder.

this statement with an air of playful
incredulity, but the first word Of his
cheerful sally fell fiat and he promptly

smiles and gaiety were indicative Of

coming sympathy:

Bowed BY the cares OF cleaning house she lear
Upon her broom and gazes through the dust,
A wilderness OF wrinkles on her face,
And on her head knob of wispy hair.
Who made her slave to sweeping and to soap.
A thing that smiles not and that never rests,
Sanctioned in stall, n sister to the cow
Who loosened and made shrill this angled
jaw
Who lowered this narrowed chest for blowing
up
OF sluggish men.folks and their morning href
Is this the thing you made . bride and brought
To have dominion over hearth asd home;
To scour the stairs and search the bin for

To bear the burden Of maternity
Is this the wife they wove who framed our law
And pillared bright land on smiling homess
Down all the stretch OF street to the last house
There Is no shape m ore angular than hers.
More tongued with gabbe OF her neighbors'
deeds,
More filled with nerve ache and rheumatic
twinge,

How answer her shrill question In that hour
When whirlwinds OF such women shake the

Heedless OF every precedent and creed,

How will II be with cant OF politics.
With king of trade and legislative boss,
With cobwebs of hypocrisy and greed,

And sweep away the dust of centuriesH

little doubt and it may be even true that
In sterilzing milk we have found a

scientist from Lelpsic before a congress
held 10 Dusseldorf, he said that as the
result OF an exhaustive examination per-

the conclusion that the continuous use oi
