HOW TO WALK.


Toes Should Not Be Turned Out - Girls
should Not BE Taught to "March."
On analysis all methods of walking
will be found to correspond to three
main types. The first of these is the
fiexlon or bent-knee gait, which is used
by all uncivilized, sandalled. or moe
casined nations, and also by all per
sons who are obliged to walk long dis
tances in the shortest possible time
over uneven ground. This gait has re
Gently been officially adopted in some
European armies on account of its con
vepience for prolonged marching. In
this mode Of walking the body always
leans forward to a considerable de-
gree, the knees are always held slight
ly flcxed, and the whole sole of the
foot comes down to the ground at the
same instant. This oblque position
Of the body, this elasticity of the bent
knee and this perfect play Of the arch
of the foot make propulsion easier, the
expenditure of energy becomes les,
in consequence, and the endurance Ci
tie walker is enhanced in proportion
Yet, this fieXion gait is not graceful
and not adapted FOR women except OF
long walking tours.
The second type Of walking is tht
straight-leg gait of the soldier on par.
adc. In this walk the body is held
erect the forward foot is fully eN
tended and strikes the ground witt
the heel first, the bail Of the foot com
ing down next, the other foot swingint
in perfect cadence in front of the first
the heel again striking the ground first
etc. There is no question that thu
gait however admirable is may bt
from a military point of view, does noi
conform to the standard Of womanll
grace. For this reason, and in com
pliance with the principle that abhcr
all jerky motion, 1 would discourag,
the teaching of marching in girls
schools and colleges. AS a rule the
result is very ungraceful, the lines o.
humping, Shoulder-shrugging girl,
walking at swinging cadence to thu
stirring strains Of martial music being
anything, but edifying.
The third type is the gait Of the pc
destrian on the well-graded surface;
of our city streets. The great toes
should move in parallel lines, pointing
directly forward; for while the out
ward pointing of the toes IS normal in
the passive standing attitude, it is not
normal when the foot is in action. The
walk with toes pointing out has beer
thoroughly inculcated into most of us
by nursery maids, goyernesses and
dancing masters. and is the most pO
tent factor in the causatiOn of fat-foot
The foot should be placed on the
ground with the ball of the foot, moi
with the heel, first, in order to give
full play to the arch. The knees should
be very slightly bent, just enough 20

An Obstacle to Portrait Painting.

"Im painting a face" said a poT-
trait painter, while conversing on some
of the difficulties of his art. There is
one thing which l have found abso-
lutely insurmountable. That is deaf
ness. A sitter may be restless, self
conscious, unable tc assume a natural
expression, expressiolless-there may
be a hundred and one difficulties, but
all Of them except deafness you can
get around in some way. You can sur
prise your subject into animation

Of ways unawares, and By putting this
and that together at last get charac-

fatal. You tell one of your best anec-
dotes one which you have used bril-.

get back TO your place again you've
forgotten what feetlng lock you were
trying to catch or else your subjects

Deafness alone is the one thing which
destroys the mutual sympathy Of sit

Gutter-snipe.

The word snipe, as expressive Of con-

1t would, however, be curious to as

The kudzu vine, which has become

EXPERTS TESTIMONY IS
SHEDDING LIGHT UPON
THE CASE or c. P. GREENE

In the case Of the State VS.. Greene,
called again this afternoon before Judge
Nelson, j. H. Leyson, the principal wit
ness. was first upon the stand. He was
examined briefly upon the question of
certain diamond and pearl pin which is
one of the points of issue.
George Stevenson, assistant cashier OF
the First National bank, was the second
witness. He was questioned regarding
the deposit of certain sums on or about
the 31st day of July, 1900, sums which
should have appeared to the credit Of
Mr.. Leyson. He testified that the money
was not deposited.
NJ. V. Conroy, of the Conroy & Morley
real estate company, was next upon tn.
stand. He was called as an expert book
keeper. to examine the books of J. H.
Leyson and report upon the alleged dis.
appearance Of a check for $251.21.
A sharp tilt between counsel was ac-
companied by question being asked tae
witness:
What would you say, Mr.. Conroy, as
to the probable intent of the disappear
ance Of this check?'
Counsel for the defense objected to
this, as being a matter of opinion OF
the witness and not a question of fact.

RECORD BREAKING WOOL PRICES

The wool market of Great Falls has
had later opening this season than at
Billings owing to the fact that the
wyoming woods which constitute a
greater portion of the Billings market
is sheared earlier in the season than
those in the north.
The market in Great Falls is now in
full blast. 1t opened ON Monday last
with the sale of but one clip. On Tues
day another clip was disposed of. For
these two clips of about $4,000 pounds
the highest price paid was 1879 cents.
The sales on Thursday the 18th were as
follows:
Bennatyne Bros. to I. Koshland & Co..
10000 pounds; j. F. Taylor to Denny,
Rice & Benedict, $4,000 pounds; e. w.
Ellis to Denny, Rice & Benedict. $4,000
pounds: A. Wagner to l. Koshland &
Co., q, 1000, and Martette Bros. to Nichols.
nupee & Co.. $4,000 pounds.
The highest price paid that day. and
also the highest of the season in Mon
tana up to that time was 14A cents per
pound.
On Friday. the 18th. three clips aggre-
eating 10000 pounds were disposed Of
and 14ss cents was given, making new
top price for the wool crop in the state.

Falls today:

The judge finally overruled the objec.
ton.
In his comment upon the ruling, Coun>
sci Miller remarked, soto voce, that he
had no expectation of being sustained in
his objections, but he should continue
them.
Mr.. Conroy's testimony was to the
effect that the missing check should
have appeared upon the cash book some-
where, which, he testified, it did not dos
He found a discrepancy of $50 in the
debit account of December 5, that
amount appearing to be short from thA
actual receipts, while the balance for the
day showed the incorrect entry to have
been carried on. 4
The defense cross-examined the witt
ness upon the probability Of the cash,
$50, being still in the cash drawer at the
close of the days business, and the error
being simply one of footing.
At the time of going to press cross
examination was still going on.
Part of the defense was to the effect
that the books of the Leyson company
were not carefully kept up day by day.
and that the bookkeeper had other
duties that kept him from a close super
vision of the books.

THE wool crop this year is in much
better condition than 10 any previous
year. 1t is clearer of dirt and the staple
seems more regular. This is due to the
mild winter we enjoyed and the fre>
quent rains this spring. Severe cold
stunts the growth and makes an irreg-
ular staple. This year the stock seems
to have been kept fat all through the
winter and produced a nice quality Of

Reports from today's sales of the
crops at Great Falls show 1850 pounds
sold, with the top price at 14N cents per
pound, an increase over the sales at any
market in Montana this season.
