THROWING OLD SHOES.

Detroit Free Press:
The custom of throwing one or
more old shoes after the bride and
groom when they 60 to the church or
when they start on their wedding tour
is so old that the memory of man
stretches not back to the beginning.
Some believe it is a lingering trace of
the custom among savage nations of
carrying away the bride by violence
Others think it is a relic of the an
cient law of exchange or purchase and
that it formerly implies the surrender
by the parents of all dominion or
authority over the daughter. 1t was
a Jewish custom. In Deuteronomy
XIV, $40, it is found that the widow
refused by the surviving brother as
serted her independence by 'loosing
his Shoes" and in the story of Ruth
it is told that it was the custom in
exchange to deliver shoe in token OF
remuneration. 1t was the custom in
ancient times to place the husband
shoe at the head of the nuptial coucf
in assertion or his domination, ani
that he assumed the government of thu
household.

the stone and some of the cement in
Mankato, the cost here would not be
greater than brick paving at Mason
City, so it is estimated. The addi-
tional freight charges on paving brick
to. Mankato would probably make brick
the more expensive-of the two. Brick
will not stand as heavy loads as as
phalt, ssand is much more noisy when
kept clean. At Mason City it is not
kept clean.
Mayor Petersen states that he will
never personally favor brick paving
for Mankato, but that the wishes of
the people as to kind will have to.be
considered. He believes that it is far
noiser than asphalt and will not wear
as well. He would prefer macadam
to brick, using it on such streets as do
not have asphalt pavement, but he be-
lieves that Second, Third and Fourth
streets should eventually be paved with
asphalt. He is in favor of making a
beginning next year, and after that he
thinks that there will be a demand for
it everywhere, the same as there is for
cement walks When Front street gets
rough again, he would have a surface
Of asphaltum put on, as the same
guaranty can be secured for that street
with its present foundation as for
new pavement throughout.
At Mason City the payments for
paving are made to extend over seven
years. Certificates of indebtedness
are issued at six per cent, and are
nearly all held by local capital. Each
certificate has seven coupons, one due
each year and calling for the payment
of one-seventh the entire amount, with
interest. In this way there is very
little hardship on the property owners.
The city pays for paving the street
intersections.
Mason City requires all house con-
nections to be made and pipes laid be-
fore the paving is done, and Mayor
Petersen would have the same done
here. He would begin on Broad street
next year and give the property
owners limited time to make connec-
tions with every lot, after which the
city should do it and assess it against
the property. He would have the
driveway narrowed down, and proceed
to pave, even if some of the property
owners were opposed to it.
Mason City has put down four miles
of sewers the past season, and has
petitions for more. 1t has an electric
street Car line, gas and electric lights
and heating combined in one plant and

owned by Mr.. Brice. q The city is
making great. strides forward, yet it
has not near the number of industries
or resources that Mankato has. 1t has
several lines of railroad, and that is
about all. The city has no income
from saloons, and the rate of taxation
is high. Mankato receives $50, 900
from the saloons and has a moderate
rate of taxation. Mayor Petersen ia
vors placing the saloon license money
into the road fund and making some
/ improvements on our streets of per-
manent nature from now on.
At Mason City there was opposition
to paving at first, the same as there is
in Mankato now, but after a beginning
was made nearly all parts of the city
wanted paved streets.
Mr.. Petersen would have competi-
ton for the paving, but believes that
Trinidad asphalt is the only variety to
use. The Barber company is doing
very satisfactory work at Mason City
and the officials there are highly
pleased with it.
Aid. Taylor expresses the opinion
that asphalt is good pavement, and
one that is preferable to brick. He
says the streets of Mason City are
! boulevarded, curbed and guttered.
The driveway of one beautiful street
was only thirty feet wide. A hay rack
was coming down the center of it,
and there was room for team to pass
on each side.
| The Barber Asphalt company
guarantees its pavements for period
of years, greater or less according to
the price, and gives surety bond to
keep them in repair. Crushed stone is
used as foundation, held together by
a binder, and three or four inches of
asphalt is placed on top and rolled
down. The Mason City officials
thought that the asphalt pavement
would stand as much heavy traffic
as brick. The Barber company is do
ing more than it's specifications call
for. The pavement has been put down
on several residence as we'll as business
! streets.
Aid Taylor is in favor of making
beginning in Mankato and getting the
streets fixed properly.
Aid Heinze prefers asphalt paying to
brick. The question of paving ma
terial has narrowed down to these two,
and most cities ale adopting asphalt.
1t has been demonstrated that it will
stand heavy traffic. The alderman be-
lieyes that Mankato should soon throw
off her lethargy and put her streets in
proper shape He has become con-
| vinced that narrower driveways and
wide boulevards are the proper thing.
Capt. Keysor comes back more than
ever convinced that Mankato should
narrow up the driveways and then i'm
prove them. He is in favor of doing
this on Broad street. He believes that
asphalt makes superior pavement to
brick and would be better for Man
kato to adopt.

FAVOR ASPHALT.
MankatO Delegation Returns
From Mason City.
General Opinion is Expressed That As.
phaIt is Better Than Brick Paving
Narrower DriveWays.

The delegation which went to
Mason City, Iowa, Tuesday afternoon
as the guests of the Barber Asphalt Co.
of Chicago, to see the asphalt and
brick paving there, returned last eve
ming. All express themselves as having
had fine "trip, and as having received
very courteous treatment from the city
officials of Mason City and others. The
entire party was entertained by the
Elks Tuesday evening.
A party of fifteen from Austin went
to Mason City on the same train and
on similar errand. 1t included the
mayor and council Austin is agitat-
ing paving, and will probably make a
beginning next summer by laying a
number of blocks of asphalt. Austin,
by the way, is only about half the size
of Mankato and is not nearly as
densely built up.
The members of the Mankato delega-
ton interviewed this morning all ex-
press themselves as favoring asphalt
over brick paving, as one result of
their trip. Another result was to con-
firm in their minds the desirability of
narrowing the driveways and widen
ing the boulevards.
Mayor Petersen states that Mason
City, with present population of 81
900 to 8, 900, has several miles of brick
paving that was put down several
years ago. 1t shows the effect of wear,
and is rough and bad appearing. Some
new brick paving is being put down
this fall, with brick from Galesburg,
Ill, that seem to be of better quail
ity, yet a good deal of the brick has
been condemned and piled up as re-
jected. A mile of asphalt paving has
been laid by the Barber company, and
is so much superior in every way to
the brick paving that property owners
who petitioned for brick paving are
now sorry that they did so.
The cost of the brick paving at
Mason City is $1.67 per square yard,
and the cost of asphalt is $l.S9. With

MAINE WOMAN's HUNTING RECORD

New York Journal:
Mrs. Thomas Nelson Jr., who has
returned to her home in New Bruins
wick, N. j., from hunting trip in
the Maine woods, is a modern Diana.
In the half dozen years she has devot-
ed to the pursuit of big game, fourteen
deer and sixteen moose have fallen to
her gun.
Her husband has for years been an
ardent lover of hunting, and she learn
ed to shoot in order to accompany him
on his gunning.trips. Her endurance
and GOODNESS in danger are said to ex-
cite the admiration of the guides in
the Maine woods.
. Mrs. Nelson is of the medium
height, and her fine figure, graceful
carriage and clear complexion bear elo-
quent witness to the debt she owes to
open air life during at least three
months of every year. =
The home of the Nelson's is filled
with trophies of the chase, the most
interesting being a head of moose
killed by Mrs. Nelson year ago,
when the animal was about to charge
her.
