FEET As A RACIAL TRAIT.
Pedal Extremities a Test Ct National
characteristics.

Scientists were never so busy in
curious lines of investigation as in
these days, and now they tell us that
the shape of the foot has features
which distinguish one race from an
other. The French foot is narrow and
long. The Spanish foot is small and
elegantly curved-thanks to Its Moor
ish corresponding to the Castil-
ian's pride of being 'high In the in
step" The Arabs foot is proverbial
for its high arch. The Koran says
that stream of water can run under
the true Arabs foot without touching
it. The foot of the Scotch Is high and
thick; that of the Irish, fiat and
square; the English. short and 1eshy.
When Athens was in her zenith the
Grecian foot was the most perfectly
formed and exactly proportloned Of
that of any of the human race.
Swedes, Norwegians and Germans
have the largest feet, Americans the
smallest. Russian toes are "webbed"
at the first joint. Tartarlan toes are
all the same length.

THOMAS SUPPORTS TELLER.
Says Senator Teller Can Lead the
Democratic Party to Victory.

Denver. Sept. 2.-Ex- Governor Chas.
s. Thomas, In reply to an inquiry
made by James 4. Shinn OF Leadville,
has written letter declaring himself
In favor of Henry NJ. Teller as the
next Democratic candidate to succeed
himself as United States senator. In
part, Mr.. Thomas says:
II am In receipt OF your letter OF the
26th instant. concerning the senator
ship and requesting a statement OF my
relation to the endorsement OF Hon.
II. NJ. Teller for reelection. The sub
ject is one 10 which have given most
serious consideration. both as n Demo
crat and as an aspirnnt for the posi-
tion. ] have discussed II from time TO
time with my own friends. with those
of Mr.. Teller and with Senator Teller
himself. have viewed II from every
standpoint and have reached con
cluslon which is at least satisfactory
to myself and OF which you have the
right TO be Informed.
80 my mind, therefore, the cxpc-
diency Of Senator Tellcrs endorsement
resolves Itself into these questions:
Does II conduce To Democratic success,
and docs n decided majority OF the par
ty desire ~ II is my deliberate con
victlon that both OF them must be an
swcrcd niirmatlyely. and SO believing,
my duty Is plain aud ! shall cndcavor
to perform II.
"rhe statement is frequently made
that Mr.. Teller IL not a Democrat and
that we should return n Democrat TO
the Senate The necessity OF this
course lins not always been apparent
In the past, but the objection, good or
bad, Is easily met Mr., Teller Is n
Democrat. Ills term OF party allie
glance does not reach to his cradle, and
In times past we have Tough, him for
supremacy llut from the hour hc
turned his back upon the 81. Louis con
vcntlon he has been In all things n
Democrat.
"Lct me here add that In December,
is0G, Senator Teller desired TO Identify
himself directly with the Democratic
party and 30 Informed the chairman OF
the national committee. who, In con.
junction with other party leaders, dis
snndcd him from his purpose. They
believed that he could best serve the
cause Of blmeinllism by independent
cooperation nnd urged him to remain
for the time aloof This he dld."

ventures, and their appearance bears
out their statements. Sherman and
Hudson will leave for Denver on the
los n. m. train. Baldwin Will stay
here to look after the balloon. The
men claim TO have twice nearly landed
and TO have once attained an altitude
of 10000 feet All their instruments
were lost, and with the damage to the
balloon the total loss will be about So

fleeing to the interior. Hot water is
pouring down on Lorraine and Basse

heard, the ground rocked and quaked
and articles on tables were thrown to
the floor.
The governor of Martinique has or
dered every available boat TO remove
the people from the coast villages to
Fort de France.
At s o'clock in the evening of August

of flame shot out of the crater of Mont
Pelee, to explode about the cloud in
showers of balls of golden fire, which
fell through the darkness in myriads
of sparks. Three large aureoles were
seen in the sky over the opening of the
crater.
A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de
France and the terrified inhabitants
fed in large numbers to the interior.
The wave was not severe and did but
slight damage.
At midnight of the 30th Mont Pelee
was quiet; shortly after this hour
there came another shower OF ashes,
accompanied by vivid sheet lightning.
In addition TO the 200 persons re-

Love Finds the Way.

When will parents learn that
they cannot control the love
affairs of their Children
The daughter of Salt Lake
millionaire was married to a
man of her choice, despite the
fact that her father had twice
prevented the marriage from
being performed and had wired
her that if she disregarded his
wishes he would disinherit her.
The girl naturally paid no at
tention to the threat and is now
presumably the happy wife of
a man she loves.
Her father is disappointed.
He may carry out his threa t..
But that will annoy the young
couple but little.
There are hundreds of cases
ON record where some rich man,
planning an illustriouS marri-
age for his daughter, has pro =
vided in his will that if she
fails to accept his choice of a
husband she shall! forfeit her
share of the estate.
And there are just as many
instances where the fortune has
been cast aside and a marriage
in accordance with the dictates
of the heart made.
Usually it results happily,
too.
Some day the futiIity of in
terfering in love affairs will be-
come apparent to the rich PEG 20
pie of the world.
And when this comes to pass
there will be less sorrow. both
for parents and children. st.
