There is no talking among the specta-

even when the bench is vacant and

Where the Tan shoes Have Gone.
What has become Of all the tan
shoes? This was question asked by
many until the damp weather of early
March. when several wearers of sup
posedly black leather shoes discovered
that their pedal adornment was only
out-of-date tan shoes dyed black. Now
II is told in the Shoe Trade Journal
that t Chicago dye houses alone have
recently changed $4,000 pairs of shoes
from tan to black. But the dye won't
stand the dampness. and the firms who
have thus victimized their patrons have
lost great amount of trade and dis
covered that their greed to economic
has cost them dearly.

When Summer haze and heat
The dreamy landscape blur.
And browsing in the wheat

Then hey for mountain air,

Denmark Fails mt This Time to

Because of Financial Burden OF

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Advices re-
ceived here, while not fully confirming
the private reports circulated in the
Danish West Indies to the effect that
the chances are against the acceptance
by the Danish rigsdag of the treaty of
cession to the United States, make it
appear that the fate of the pending
treaty is really very uncertain. 1t is
said that SO narrow is the line of di-
vision between the parties in the rigs
dag that the approval of the treaty
practically depends upon the state of
health OF one or two members, and it
Is intimated that if the measure is to
succeed at this session the government
must press it to vote before one of
the convalescents is able to return to
his legislative duties and cast an ad-
verse vote.
Must Eventually Become Ours.
Nevertheless, even should the move
ment toward cession fail at this meet
ing of the rigsdag, it is not doubted
that in the very near future the is
lands must become the property of the
United States. 1t cannot be too clear
ly stated, however, that the United
States government has not the slight
est idea of using compulsion to this end,
being we'll satisfied that the people of
Denmark will eventually be moved by
purely economic considerations to dis
pose of the islands. 1t is well-known
