Fob SHOE. DRESSINGS.
The Juices of Fruits Being Used for
This Purpose.

Juices of Fruits Being Used for
This Purpose.
If you see a fruit basket containing
oranges, lemons and bananas on your
friends dressing table do not eat them.
He may need them in his business and
keep them there as al adjunct to his
boots and shoes. People who have
tried it say that orange juice is the
best dressing in the world for black
leather. Take a slice of orange and
rub it thoroughly all owe the boot or
shoe. Allow it (the boot or shoe) to
dry and then brush quickly with a soft
brush until the article you are polish
ing shines like a looking glass. A
convenient dressing for tan shoes is
the inside of a banana skin. Rub 1t
well and evenly all over the shoe, and
it will remove all spots and dirt as
we'll as give a fine polish, which is
brought out by using a flannel cloth
for wiping dry and another for pol
ishing after drying. Some persons use
a slice of lemon as a dressing for rus
set leather and recommend it to their
friends. Patent feathers are the most
uncertain, coy and hard to please" Of
any kind Of shoe made. You can pay
any price you please for a pair of pat
ent feathers and they will crack the
first time you wear them. On the
other hand, you may buy a cheap pair
that will not crack until they are near
ly worn out. Everybody has his w
favorite prescription for keeping pat
ent feathers in good health, and is
ready to defend it against all corners.
Hearts that stood the storm when
seas were rough and which sorrow but
more closely tied have been driven far
asunder through a dispute over the
best way to take care of patent leath-
ers. The shoeman will tell you to
heat them before you put them on and
they will not crack, but the shoe man
will not guarantee them, and tells you
this only to be agreeable and make
conversation. A good way to treat
patent feathers is never to polish them
with anything except fine sweet oil OF
vaseline. 1t is necessary to take q
clean sponge and clean the shoe thor
oughly before applying the oil or vase
line. After this treatment the shoe
must be rubbed dry at once with fan.

You are all that I have left, little
Pierre, my baby! You must never
leave me. Surely the good God cannot
ask more!"
Since then, Pierre had kept his am
bition to himself. He helped provide
the necessities for the house, and
bought little luxuries for his grand
mother, and even after these expendi-
lures, was able to save occasional pen
MES from his papers and errands and
chores to purchase books on the science
he loved. AS he grew older, he longed
for an opportunity to go away to the
great medical schools, as his father
had done. He worked harder, and be-
MES, only, as his hoard increased, he
would discover that his grandmother's
clothing was getting shabby, or that
there was some expensive food or cor
dial in the market that would please
her; and then his money would melt
away. But it did not matter, he would
tell himself consolingly, la grand mere
was getting old and needed these
things; there was plenty of time.
So he saved more money, and spent
it for the grandmother; and boarded
again, and again lavished it on the
grandmother. But all the time he was
working and studying and thinking. He
bought books when he could, and Dor
rowed books and pamphlets from the
free library, and from ar old physician
who was becoming interested in him.
And this same old physician took him
to the hospital and explained cases;
and occasionally ever allowed him to
assist in the work. At eighteen, Pierre
had a general knowledge of hospital
practice, and his unframed course of
reading had been shaped and made USE
full by the advice and companionship
Gf the old physician. But there was
much yet for him to learn, and more
and more he realized the necessity Of

HOW TO ENTER POLITICS.
Sage Advice from a Kansas Editor to
Aspiring Statesmen,

If you want to be a politician, the
first thing to do is to get into the push,
or at least create the impression that
YOU are in writes doc" Taller to Gene
Smyth in the Kopeka Mail. When there
is a convention, if you can't work in as
a delegate, you a at least get into the
crowd in the hotel lobby, and if you
carry yourself in shape you can make
the stranger who is within the gates
of the city believe you are not only a
delegate, but one of the steering COM
mittee. Keep busy. Take at least eight
or ten men off to one side in the course
of the evening for private conversation.
There is quite a good deal in making
people believe you are cutting a good
many lemons, whether you are or not.
1t is a good idea to be seen off in a cor
ner talking with some prominent can
didate. You can arrange, this if you
have the proper amount of gall. You
may not have anything to tell him,
but then you will be seen in consulta-
ton, and you will make some parties
who don't know you very well think
that there must be a hen On. But,
above all else, cultivate your gall. If
you can get some reporter to interview
o on the political situation, that will
be a good scheme. The newspapers can
make a reputation for almost any sort
Of a man for they invariably employ
cheap ten-dollar a week reporters.

HE'S NOW A WHEAT KING.
Clerk who Bought Kansas Farm Land
and Is q millionaire,

-
and Is q millionaire.
The wheat rentals of John T. Stew
art of Sumner county will amount to
nearly 100, 900 bushels of wheat this
year, says the Kansas City World.
In his home county he owns lis quar-
ter sections of land and about thirty
quarter sections in adjoining counties.
He rents the land on the basis Of half
the yield, he furnishing all the seed
and taking chances of securing a crop.
1t is estimated that if all the wheat
due him on rentals this year was ship
ped in n consignment it would re-
quire seventeen freight trains of if-
teen cars each to take it to market.
His rentals in wheat last yeat netted
him $4,000. In addition to owning
about $4,000 worth of land, every
foot of 1t paid for he has nearly $780,
900 worth of bank stock and $500, 900
invested in farm lands in Sumner
county and Oklahoma. About twenty
five years ago Mr.. Stewart began life
as a clerk in an obscure office in this
city at $50 a month. He slept in the
office and was economical in other
ways. He began loaning money in
Sumner county about twenty years ago
and has developed into a remarkable
fnancier. 1t is said hat his ambition
is to finally W a railroad and he may
crafty it, as he is still a very young
man, not more than 40. He carries a
small memorandum book in his pocket
and it is said that he can take it out
at any hour of the day when required
and tell every debtor exactly what his
account is. Indeed, it is said that ac-
counts of his vast transactions are al
ways kept in a book that fits his trou-
sers pocket. It is said that he lives on
less than 800 per month and that OUT
side of this his largest annual expense
is 5000 to the Methodist church his
wife and large family Of children at
tend. He is not fond of travelling ex-
cept to go to a Democratic convention,
a diversion he is ~passionately fond Of.
He is a pronounced temperance man,
and, it is said, believes in the prohibit
ton laws of Kansas.

A BRAHMIN
Elaborate remonie That Spread over
a Week.

Oriental marriage ceremonies are the
most elaborate, and those of a
Brahmin wedding, spread over the
greater part of a week, are probably
the most complicated. All the Hindoo
gods are invited, and on the first day
the pair sit under an alcove or canopy,
with their faces turned to the east,
while married women wave lighted
camphor to avert the evil eye On the
second day the bridegroom appears
eager to make a pilgrimage to Benares
to wash in the sacred waters of the
Gauges. His future father-in-law, after
much entreaty, persuades the would
be pilgrim to give up the idea, and the
priests profess readiness to accept the
will for the deed, at the same time &C.
cepting a gift of IA flags, by which the
bridegroom symbolizes his purity of
freedom from sin. A thread is then
tied on the mans right wrist and the
woman's left to show that they are
united for life. The father-in-law now
feigns to behold in the bridegroom the
great god Vishnu himself, and makes
an Offering to him. Then water is
poured over the two, and the tall" a
jewel set in gold, is tied on the brides
neck, while sandal paste, perfumes
and flowers are offered to the guests.
Fire is then brought in and, while a
sacrifice is offered to Agni, the couple
walk hand in hand seven times around
it, and so make the "seven steps'-a
symbol of everlasting friendship. The
next day the astrologer points out the
star Arundhati to impress upon the
pair the duty of faithfulness. Then
they eat together and, having sprin-
killed. each other with rice, a final bridal
procession takes place at night, when
friends and relatives again avert the
evil eye by the ceremony of Arati, or
waving a lamp owe the heads of the
newly wed.-Utica Globe.

himself and his thoughts to the duty
before him.
The grandmother scarcely left her
room during the terrible weeks that
followed. Occasionally she heard
hushed whispers along the sidewalk,
and, more frequently, the dull rumble
of the dead cart, stopping here and
there to pick up its silent passengers.
She did not listen for the footsteps of
Pierre; she had given him UP.
Rumors reached her of physicians
and nurses dying at their posts, and
of the gradual extension of the plague
to other coast cities, but she scarcely
needed. She had given up her future,
and now she was gradually falling
back into dreaming of the past.
One day slow, uncertain footsteps
shufied along the sidewalk, and then
the door opened and Pierre stood be-
fore her, big-eyed and emaciated.
"The plague has run it's course" he
said, YEARLY. 'They have no further
need for me-"
The grandmother look at him Won
deringly, incredulous1y; then, as she
caught him in her ans, a look of in
effable joy drove the expression OF
stony resignation from her face.

said, reverently, "even while l was CEN
surfing Him. Let us not forget, my lit
tie Pierre"

Ath1ste Tied to a Desk.

Albert Payson Terhune might be de-
scribed as an athlete tied to a desk.
He was a fence, boxer, weight-thrower
and sprinter in college; crossed the
Syrian desert on horseback, afterward
living among the Bedouin tribes and
preparing material for his book, Syria
from the Saddle" 'On my return to
America" he writes, Il got a job as
reporter, working my way up, mainly
through luck, to the post of subedltor
and special writer. Mr.. Terhune once
proposed to box three rounds apiece
with the six foremost heavyweight
prizefighters, in the world (Jeffr1es,
Corbett, Sharkey, Mccoy, Rubin and
Fitzsimmons), and write up his expe-
riences with them in a series of artf-
cles for his newspaper. The articles
made a hit. He is also a contributor
of humorous articles to various period
icals. His latest literary venture was
a novel written in collaboration with
his mother, Marian Harland Terhune.

At fourteen Pierre was already
dreaming and planning for his future.
He would be a physician and surgeon,
like his father, and he would own cot
ton and sugar plantations and be good
to everybody, just as his father had
been. Only he did not say much of
this to his grandmother. One day
when he had mentioned it, she had

I love the day-the bright, the golden day
When Earth is fair on ocean and on land
When Sorrow smiles and Care is laid away
And Heart and Hope go blithely-hand in hand;
When Summers breath comes softly thro' the door
And Love ascends the summit of its dream;
When ripping waves roll lightly to the shore
And Heavens smile lies pictured in the stream;
When Nl+ure trembles with the power of song
And lilies the way
God loves the day, so let the day be long,
And in the eve-departing-let us say
"Well was the day"
/ love the night-the seattle moonlit wave
The stars-the stiffness and the haunted hour
When Melancholy, crouching by the grave,
Receives response from every soulful bower;
When Earth is dark and Time goes creeping by
With silent tread, unmeasured by the heart;
When Love lies mute, unconscious of the sigh,
And past and present are, unbridged, apart;
When Nature sleeps and passion is at rest;
When weary Fancy may forget its flight
Then, in the Morn, calm on the Fathers breast,
May we look backward and behold the night
Pure, perfect, bright.
