Daniel Artist and all his family
from near the Guthrie county line,
in south Greeley township, were in
town last Saturday for the purpose
of securing a lasting memorial to
hand down to the future scions of
that family in the form of photo
group which our photographer,
Mrs. Wellman, after securing the
general arrangement of the group
and the proper focus of the instru-
ment, proceeded to take in her usual
tasteful manner.
A. J. Leffingwell has conceived an
idea which, properly carried out,
will in very short time bring him
in a fair return for the time and
money spent in the undertaking.
This scheme consists IN turning
the low lands where the brick kiln
now stands, with the low lands sur
rounding it embracing about three
acres, into fish pond and has
bought an Aermotor wind mill of
S. D. May & Sons to keep the supply
of water up to gauge.

Wyoming Miner Who Die with Great

Poor Jack hurtz worked nineteen
years to find the rich mines Of copper

World dispatch from Grand Encamp-
ment, Wyo., the scene Of the story.
Kurtz was a blacksmith who made 4
scant living at his forge in Rawlins.
One day, while wandering about, he
found bits of copper ore thickly strewn
over the mountain side. Investigation
convinced him that great vein Of ore
Law beneath the surface. The black
smith closed his shop. and with pick
and dynamite began to tunnel at the
base of the mountain near Copper
Creek.
This was nineteen years ago. kurtz
was in the prime Of life, strong and en-
thusisastic. Doggedly he hewed his
way through rock and quartz. His
friends laughed at him. The years
passed and with them came gray hair,
bent form and a hard and wrinkled
skin. But hopes grew brighter, for
every day the tunnel was forced lit
tie further into the mountain.
Kurtz worked on heroically until the
tunnel was 1900 feet long. But the
hard work and the exposure at last
brought on a violent attack Of pneu
monia. Jack Kurtz died.
Kurtz had scarcely passed away
when a party Of Eastern cauitalist,
sent trained men TO examine the noun
tains near his tunnel A wonderful
discovery was made. Less than TIVE
feet Of rock separated Kurtz's TUNE
from a massive vein Of copper and gol,

THE SHOES THAT
PLEASE CORN DOCTORS

of law could be passed" said the
chiropodst, prohibiting the wearing of
anv shoe in this country except the
pattern army shoe worn during our
Civil War, the corn Doctors occupation
would be gone. That war was, for the
time. the greatest corn eradicator ever
known.
Il never knew a single case of a
soldier in the war who suffered from
corns a month after he began wearing
his regulation army shoe, and / was
four years a soldier in it myself. That
shoe seemed to be made just right for
comfort
THE high, narrow French heels on
women's shoes are the unfailing, firm
friend of the chiropodist. They are
regular and rapid breeders of corns.
No woman can long wear pair of
shoes equipped with such heels with
out irquring for the corn doctor.
THE low, fiat heel never came into
vogue at the solicitation of the chiro-
podist If the rest of the shoe fits the
foot these heels are the natural enemy
of corns and If everybody wore them
the corn doctor, although having no
corns, would have to suffer.
TT is the popular belief that women
are more vain of their feet then men
are, but the chiropodst knows better.
Men will insist on making their feet
look smaller then they really are, and
for that reason the sharptoed or tooth
pick style shoe was the most popular
style with men that has ever been de-
signed
That style Of shoe insured the corn
doctor living as long as it lasted and
we saw it dethroned with regret. 1t
will come again, though.
Those shoes were particularly good
for the corn crop when they were
made of patent leather. A patent
leather shoe of any kind for some
reason, will call a corn into being
much quicker than an ordinary leather
shoe will. ! suppose that is because
of it elasticity.
"The fellows who do not have corns
are those who wear roomy-toed shoes
| But the shoes mustn't be too large.
shoe too large is as bad for the wearei
and s good for the corn doctor as ont
| that is too small.
''An diversified shoe is one that or.

worst kind. That is, for the one who
has them. They are the best kind for

Mountain View as a residential terri
tory, w. j. Wheeler has had many in
quiries concerning the property Wise
restrictions have been adopted in the
disposition of the property, which Mr..
Wheeler believes will be for the benefit
of purchasers. First, no two family
residences will be allowed, and no
three deckers can be built. No building
will be tolerated within 20 feet of the
street. No stable will be permissible
for the accommodation of more than
two horses Construction is already in
progress and by spring, it is probable
other houses will be started.
The agency of H. r. Sanders in the
Walker building has been busy one
of late. and promises to continue to be
such for some time to come. His re-
cent sales include property sold in
