"Squeaking shoes" said dealer, "are no more, though of course you haven't noticed it. Stop a minute. though, and think. Isn't it true that for years you haven't come across squeaking shoe? The thing that caused the trouble was loose piece of leather in the sole. This. as you walked, work ed somewhat like bellows or an ac- ,ordion, and great was the sound there of. All shoes are now sewed-many of them used to be pegged-and sewing does away with any loose pieces of leather in the sole and, therefore. with the squeak as we'll. don't believe that if you searched a week you would be able to find squeaking shoe in Philadelphia.

SARAH AND THE INDIANS. !"
Rernhardt Played reeora For rhen

Rernhardt Played Fedora For Them
 at S5 Cents a Head.
 Sarah Bernkardt, the great French actress, once played in Sullivan, Inde at 35 cents a head.
 It was many years. ago, and Bern hardt was making a tour of the coun' try. On the way from Louisville to Indianapolis the train was, stopped at Sullivan by the news that a serious freight wreck had occurred few miles up the road completely blocking the tracks and making progress to Indian apolis impossible until the next day.
 ''Very well,' said the manager in ex. cellent French and with forced calm. ness. Since we cannot leave town we will give performance here."
 Impossible" said Mime. BerE!,ardt, also in French. Quite iRlpossibie."
 Not a bit," said the manager, and he went about it. The divine Bern hardt, being under contract to play a certain number of nights, was induced to consent There was no Opera house" in Sullivan, but the Masonic hall was rented and some of the scen- cry was crowded into it. The local job office got out a lot of handbills in a hurry, and messengers were dispatch ed to the adjoining towns to spread the glad news that Bernhardt, the di- vine Sarah, was to play in Sullivan that night and that admission would be 35 cents.
 ''No use trying to charge metropoli- tan prices here," said the manager to the treasurer, and that gentleman sigh- ed and said he supposed not.
 In the early evening there began to come into town long lines of green farmer wagons, each holding a family party. When the house was full, the great Bernhardt cautiously took a peep at it from behind the flimsy curtain.

;sou Horses Rest.

He all ways does it if the road on which he is standing slopes the least bit In either direction. This shows that the horse has d Gyc5l deal of plain, common sense. He will not allow himself to be worn out where it is not necessary. If people only had his wisdom, there would Ee q great deal less sickness in the world than there is at present. When a thGughtlesS driver leaves his horse standing 0n slope or at an angle of the street. all the animals weight is thrown upon enc side. causing strain. and if left long enough painful ex- haustion Twenty minutes of such an ordeal will fatigue LorAe more than "a whole days travel But when he is able to plant his fore feet on the curb stone it gives him better plant and adjusts his weight more eQuably. Many of the muscular ailments from which horses suffer are brought upon them by being continually obliged to stand by the gutter side on streets which slope decidedly X good driver will always seek to rest lis horse on a level when possible.

cANADA.s NEW s4 BILLS.
The DominIOn HuIniliated Bx the Wig

The Dominion HumiIiated bI the Wig.
 nette of the American Locks.
 Uncle Sam is not usually partial to Canadian money, but our new four-dol- lar bill will have his best wishes for an enduring circulation. On its honest face it bears a fattering picture of the lock on his Sault canal. Being person. age who. takes a dollar-and-cents view of things, he. will perceive that this vignette. on a Dominion note is some< thing more sthan a. compliment to his progressiveness. Itis, indeed, an offer. ing of very substantial service to him.
 Our big neighbor kne1Ts weHsthe value of a free advertisement, and where could he get a better one except in a first class newspaper that goes into the homes of all the people? Our circulat- ing medium, especially in the denom- nations that are most in demand. is a capital advertising medium. The Amer ican canal at Sault Ste. Marie is beau tifully displayed on the considerable issuessf forr;d offar bills our finance de- partment has just let loose. Who would travel by the Canadian canal after the Canadian Government gave such cer- tifcate as to the superiority of the American lock? It is true, our own canal is grand work, one of the won- ders of engineering science, but the Government fancies that one on the other side of the river more. As these four-dollar notes pass from hand to hand, the wistful gaze of those who part with them will rest on the Ameri- can lock-the gateway through which the Government would direct their travels. Since they came into office the Canadian ministers have tried to forget their old disparaging language about our canals, and have lately spoken very favorably of these. But money talks. A picture of our Sault canal, or of. some other great Canadian work or scene, should occupy the place given up to the American canal. This foreign canal lock depicted on our four dollar bill is a humiliation to us. That picture is a record of laundering or something worse that will never be forgotten. Specimens of these four dollar bills will be preserved wherever there is a collection of monetary curi- Osities. The people of Sault Ste. Marie are deeply offended at the Government for its selection of the American canal as the object most worthy of depletion on its new issue.-Toronto Mail and | Express. e. : |

The smothering Scene.

AS to stage appointments, there were no plush or velvet curtains or couches draped with satin in early days. The furniture was as unpreten- tious as the costumes. Indeed on one occasion when a lady was playing Des- demona to her husbands Othello a dis &strOuS and at the same time ludicrous effect, though of course unrehearsed. had been imminent through the lack of even a nail or two to make an old stool steady.
 It was the smOthering scene, and the couch was made up of two chairs and a rickety stool covered, of course, with the simplest draperies-a red merino curtain trimmed with yellow worsted fringe. Imagine a. DesdemOna endeav- bring to recline gracefully, all the while feeling portions of her couch sliding from under her. This is how the scene was played out:
 Desdemona-Kill me tomorrow; let me live to night. Q'm falling, dearD
 Othello-Nay, if you strive (Keep quite stiIl.j
 Desdemona-But half an hour. (Oh, hold meD
 Othello-Beirg done, there is no pause. QIl push the stool under.)
 Desdemona-But while I say a prayer. (Do be quick, Robert, it is slipping.)
 Othello-It is toe latel
 Which, indeed, it was, for the bed col Iapsed, and Desdemona's body lay up on the floor. her head upon the sole chair, which stuck to it's post faitbful- ly.- Gnntlpman'S Magazine.

 ''I can't make nothing of it. Let's ask the bo'sun; he's a scholard, and sure to know" On giving the menu to the boatswain, he thoughtfully stroked his chin, and said:
 "Well, look ere, mates; it's like this 'ere. Them swells down in the saloon have some soup, bit of fish, bit of this and a bit of that, and bit of summat else and calls it table dottie.' We have table dottic,' only we mixes it all together and calls it Irish stew or hash"

The star-spangIed scotchman.

An Englishwoman living in New York says that the first time she ever heard of Andrew Carnegie was about twenty years ago, when one of her friends in England was invited to go on a coach ing party he made up to drive from Lands End to John O Goats. He spent all he could for everybody, and gave all the guests such good time that those who had never before even heard the phrase good time" adopted the Ameri- canism for their own. Since that time the words have come into very general use with LondOners. In the days of the long coaching trip from the south ern end of the United Kingdom to the most northern Mr. Carnegie was known as 'the star-spangled ScOtchman."

Great Forests of Arizona.

Few of those who travel through the territory by rail realize the extent of the Arizona. Following is from the report of Governor Murphy:
 Arizona has the largest unbroken pine forest in the United States, cover- ing an area of over COCO square miles. This timber is usually found at an alti- tude of between $500 and 7,5O0 feet. The total quantity of pine timber fit for saving purposes within the boundaries of the territory amounts to 10,000,000,- 900 feet, which. can supply the needs of a populous State for more than a cen tury. The principal forest area is in COconino County and borders the Grand canyon of the Colorado, although Gila, Apache and Yayapai Counties have considerable timber. Tn the Mo gollon mountains, in Yavapai, COeoninO and Gila Counties, there are large bod ies of oak timber suitable for the man. ufacture of farm machinery, wagons, etc, and for furnishing lumber, but at present 1t Is too inaccessible to be of great commercial value.
 "The Government has created some large forest reserves in northern Ari- zona and promulgated rules for their regulation, with view to their preser- vatiOn from spoliation and to prevent destruction by fire"

The Echo at Work

When We had climbed to the top of the mountain, we observed an old man sitting on rock with a pair of field glasses in his hands. Every now and then he would look earnestly through them and then whoop continuously for a time with vigor astonishing, con- sidering his age. For time we ob- served him from a respectful distance till finally, being naturally curious, l went up to him. Why" I asked, "do you rubber that way and then yell so loud?"
 He turned and eyed me calmly, with a dignity which could have been born of nothing but great responsibility.
 ''If you talk to me-" he said gravely, you'll take my attention, and I'll lose my job. l, sir, am the echo at the Mountain House down yonder."
 At this point it became necessary for him to howl again, and retired much pressed.-Princeton Tiger.

Peanut Plants.

"Few persons are perhaps aware that a thing of beauty is a common peanut plant growing singly in a six CT eight inch pot and grown indoors during the colder months" says an up to date flor ist in the Washington Star.
 "Kept in a warm room or by the kitchen stove, peanut kernel planted in a pot of loose, mellow loam, kept only moderately moist, will soon germi- nate and grow up into a beautiful plant. 1t is in q similar way that the peanut planters test their seeds every year, beginning even early in the win ter, and the facility with which the seeds will grow in this way has sug- gested to many southern flower lovers the. possibility of making the useful peanut an ornamental plant for the parlOr or sitting room window.
 As the plant increases in size and extends its branches over the sides of the pot in pendent manner, there are few plants of more intrinsic beauty. The curious habit of the compound leaves of closing together, like the leaves of book, on the approach of night or when a shower begins to fall on them is one of the most interesting habits of plant life.
 Later on-fOr the peanut is no ephemeral wonder, enduring for day or two only-the appearance of the tiny yellow flowers and putting forth of the peduncles on which the nuts grow i'm. part to this floral rarity striking and unique charm all its own. There is nothing else like 1t, and florists through out the country might well add the pea nut plant to their list of novel and rare things"

A VETERAN
Tells of a Thrilling Experience in the Civil War and How a Newspaper Article
 Saved kiS Life
From the Reacon. Leonardsto,rn. Md.

Many veterans of the Rebellion can recall incidents as thrilling as the cav airy charge in which the narrator of the following experience nearly lost his life, and, unfortunately many of the old soldiers have disabilities that are unpleasant reminders of their days in the army To all such this story will have a peculiar interest, and may show the way to restore health, strength and energy. MT. William H. Whiting, of Mt Holly. Va, says:
 When the Civil war began was living in Buffalo and there l joined Co. F, of the Tenth New York Cavalry. In 1863, while serving with my com pany, I received a sabre cut that caused paralysis. For eight months l was obliged to lie in the hospital at Wash ington, D. c. I afterwards tried many doctors. but the paralysis remained as bad as ever. I suffered from chtlls and my general health was not good.
 This continued until about eight years ago, when I read in a newspaper of the cures effected by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I began taking the pills and soon found they were uOlnS ue SOOu. III SIX months time I was completely cured. The pa ralysis has not returned and I never have the chills now. My general health is also better than when I began talk ing Pink Pills for Pale People. I all ways keep them with me, and, in the eight years that have passed since l first took them. I have never had oc- caSionto call on a doctor.

NIP IT IN THE BUD
First Appearance of Dandruff a FOrerun-
 uer of Future Badness

NtT T bdIUHtSB
 That such is the case has been con- clusively proven by. scientific research. Prof. Unna. the noted European skin specialist, declares that dandruff is the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused by parisites destroying the vii tality in the hair bulb. The hair be- comes lifeless, and, in time, falls out. This can be prevented.
 Newbro's Herpicide kills this dan druff germ, and restores the hair to its natural softness and abundancy.
 Herpicide is now used by thousands of people-all satisfied that it is the most wonderful hair preparation on the market today.
