the yarn spinning begins. Mr.. Wheaton,
being of the opinion that a bear is a born

in favor Of that proposition: while Harry
held the contrary, and set forth his the
DRY as thus:
"a bear said Harry, sis just like the
Arab who argues that being descended

inherits Ishmael's rights, and may grab

heavy machines, built to combine high
speed with endurance. -
The first cars of this pattern in Mime
apolis were those of ALT Pillsbury and
George Christian which arrived this week
and have attracted much attention upon
the streets during the last two or three
days. These machines are ten-horse
power and the. weight of each Is just
about a ton. They are built to cover
from forty to fifty miles an hour over an
ordinary road, and are much faster than
any vehicles hitherto seen in Minneapolis.
Each will carry four passengers.
There Are Others. - -
Messrs. -Pillsbury and Christian will not
long have the distinction Of owning the
swiftest autos in the city, however, for a
| number of other men have already or
dered machines Of a similar type. which
will be delivered sometime this month. :
| G.. F. Piper will soon be seen driving a
tonneau of almost the same pattern as
those of Messrs. Christian and Pillsbury,
| although Mr.. Piper's auto will be Of a
different make. Hal Watson also has
ordered one of these big touring cars, and
Charles Pillsbury is eagerly awaiting the
arrival of tonneau similar to that or
dered by Mr.. Piper.

show them all a few points in speed

their appearance it is probable that speed

trips will become more popular with the
advent of this type Of motor which is
specially designed for just such tours.
CROPS country journeys are very popular
with eastern chaffeurs, but hitherto nc
extended trips have been taken by Min
neapofis men. except in. the way of bust
ness. The ability of the auto to cope with
| country roads in the northwest, however
has been demonstrated by a number OF
experiments, notably the 1000 mile trir
of Walter Thomas and George Dore
through the wheat country between the
twin cities and Hillsboro, N. d., last fall
in a comparatively light steam rig.

There are great stretches of forest along the

keys are intensely conservative and raise
practical objections when men introduce. any
new improvement.
Monkeys do not like things they have not
been accustomed to and they disolaged wi
cious hostility to bicycles when that form OF
vehicle first appeared on the Calcutta Lahore
highway. They objected to anything that
went faster than the ancient ox-cart and es-
pecially to anything that could go faster than
they could.
They manifested their hostility to the ticy-
Gle by collecting stones and nuts and throw
ing them at the bicycle riders. Their aim
was generally SO good that there was for
time danger that they would drive bicycles
off the road They we're very much like dogs,
however, and gradually became accustomed to
bicycles and accepted them as an established
institution
Now the automobile is beginning to appear
on this great highway, and the monkeys are
showing the same practical objection that
they did to the bicycle. They act as dogs in
other parts of the world act against new
thing but fortunately, dogs do not throw

SHOE LACES.
You Can Get the Right Kind by Going
10 the Right Place.

If the man who complained about
the shoe strings in last evenings
DAILY HERALD had come to the e
d. Brewer Shoe Company store he
would have had no trouble in getting
a splendid shoe lace for any purpose
desired. We deny that good goods
are not to be had in the city and the
best are to be found at this store. The
trouble Is that the customer did not
go to a shoe store to get his strings.
The truth of the matter is that
there is a demand for good laces and
the E. d. Brewer Shoe Company is
meeting this demand in way that is
calling forth many compliments from
customers. And the people are glad
to pay for a good article. The silk
lace that costs twenty cents pair is
the favorite with the ladies and is a
fine piece of goods. Then we have
the Congdon patent covered tip shoe
lace that makes a very pretty lace
and the spiral tipped linen lace is
equally popular.
The style in laces has decreed that
Oxford laces shall be very wide this
season and these will be over an inch
in width giving the laced shoe and
the tie very pretty effect. All OF
these laces cost a trifle but the people
want them and they know where they
can get them. At the e. d. Brewer
Shoe Company store on the north
side.
