WOMAN WORKS AS COBBLER.
Pegs shoes on the Bench with Her
Husband All Day ana Plays the
Pinuo mt Night.

Grand Rapids, Mich, has a woman
cobbler, the only one in the state, if
not in the country. She is Mrs. Nellie
Harmer, states the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
In the big factories women are, to be
sure, employed to do certain parts of
the work in making pair of shoes by
machinery, but none of them has to do
what Mrs. Harmer does. She has
worked on the bench beside her hus-
bnad for the past seven years and is
proficient in every phase of the cob
bler's art from stitching rip in a
lady's kid shoe to pegging a sole in a
cowboys boot. She learned the trade
from her hus band.
Ten years ago they came from Cam
ada and Mr.. Harmer opened little
shop in Grand Rapids. Being skilled
workman he soon had a brisk little
business established, but he could not
get competent help. 1t was then that
his wife came to his aid and said that
she would learn the business.
Ia the rear of their place Of business
their living apartments have been
fitted up. These include a piano. books
and pictures. Mrs. Harmer is pretty
and not yet 30. She is the mother of
three children, two boys and girl.
She is said to be as good musician as
she is cobbler

Erie canal boats, sent by the Philip

years these barges have been in use
on the Erie canal. Now they have
been towed over to the Morgan iron

them to the orient. Piece by piece the

Kong. From there they will be towed
across the China sea. down the Luzon
coast and into Manila harbor.
Large steamers cannot approach
within two miles of the shore in Manila
bay. For this reason it has always
lighters, in which the cargoes are
transported up the Pasig river to the
city. These cascoes are small and
clumsy, and are owned by individual
natives, who will not work until their
supply Of cash runs short The iron
canal boats are capable Of holding five
or six times more cargo than any cas-
co, and the 10 together could put all
the cascos Of Manila harbor into their

A veteran sea captain has this to
say as to how scasickucss affects
women: They suffer more general
ly than men, but they don't make
such fuss about it. A man goes to
bed. where he passes the time groan-
ing and swearing until he is able to
come on deck again. A woman fights
the malady until she can fight no
longer Then she becomes quickly
maudlin and pathetic. Almost in
variably she asks three questions:

Many a man will back himself 10 give

that would mean that the runner, in

Wrote His Own Obituary.

| An Indianapolis, Ind, correspondent
says: Judge William Cole Talcott, OF
Valparaiso, recently completed his own
funeral grafton. 1t is in verse and is to
be read by Judge William johnson at
his burial.
Judge Talcott is now in his S7th year.
For many years he was circuit rider
of the Methodist church. Then he was
elected to a circuit judgeship and re-
manned upon the bench for fifteen
years.
After his retirement from the bench
he established and for twenty five
years was the editor of the Porter
County vidette. learning to set type
and doing much of the mechanical and
oil of the editorial work. The paper
entered at once upon reforms in poll
tics and religion and the editor also in
vented system of reformed spelling.
In order that his system may be per-
petuated he has caused this inscription
to be placed upon his monument in the
Valparaiso cemetery:
