A STING IN HIS WORDS.
The Manly Conduct of n Police Omcer
Who Might Have RctnIinted
for Abuse.

BY far the most humliating incident
Andrews, vice president of the City
savings bank of Detroit, was the man
nCr of his arrest, says a Chicago paper.
One of the many Offices held by An
drews was that of police commissioner.
He was stern disciplinarian, and had
little pity for members of the force
who violated the rules. Just before
exposure of his $l,50O,000 embezzle-
ment was made Andrews had occasion
TO rebuke one of the city detectives
for some alleged neglect of duty, and
he berated the officer roundly, giving
him what is known in police circles as
a severe dressing down" BY chance
it became the duty Of this same detect
i've few days later to take the bank
wrec<cr into custody. Policemen who
knew of the terrible scoring the OIL
Ger had received from Andrews looked
for a bitter retaliation in the way of
wordy recrimination. but nothing of
the kind occurred. The officer was po-
lite and defcrential in making the ar
rest, almost as much so as II he were
taking orders from his superior in
stead of conveying him to jail. I'm
really sorry to do this, Mr.. Andrews,
he said, 'but it's my duty" There was
sting in these simple words, how
ever, that the bystanders did not APP
preciate, for in the scoring the detect
i've had received from Andrews while
police commissioner great stress was
laid upon the necessity of policeman
doing his duty without fear or favor.

How Janet Taught
Him Spelling
By L. NJ. BURNS.

HERMAN always went first to his
cousin Janet. He was a buoyant
youth, whose woes and joys were
much alike, but Janet was serious
minded. She did his worrying for him
This time he found her packing her
books. Vacation was almost over.
"Well?" she said. She liked to talk
to Herman, but not when there was
an unfinished task in hand. That was
the difference between the twO-she

accomplished it, and was happy; he
diffused his over a dozen, accomplished
nothing, and was happy also. well

Herman made a gesture. "Ah, Janet

Herman laughed. you taught me

and "a dozen white colors!'" she
sighed, despairingly. "Why don't you

You never can make a success while
you spell like that. Oh, I know-but
it isn't enough to be the fastest type

want, a thousand times more than

Herman smiled. "Tll be on hand

Herman did lose it, and for the same
old reason, Janet had felt ashamed
of herself when she came to thinking
over the interview. She might have
been more hopeful, more sympathetic.
She tried to make up for it in her
letters to him. Perhaps it was. as
he had so often explained, a physical
failing; some people are form blind,
just as others are color-blind, and
with such photography is doubly diff

mistakes, and to believe that he was
improving. She sent him lists Of

Ibsen's chief claim to fame and renoWn Is

They're proper.

Why are they proper if
they're Rich's shoes? Thou
sands of people who are
patrons of this store know.
1t is only to those who do
not that we direct this eX-
PLANTATION.
Several years ago, realizing
the enormous amount OF
trade which went to New
York and Philadelphia for
its footwear, we establish
ed this business and made
arrangements with the same
makers who supplied the
leading New York shops by
which we were to control
their output in Washington.
In doing SO we brought this
recognized proper" foot
wear to this city, which had
never before been shown
here, and as a result we've
steadily gained the patron
age which formerly went out
Of town.
The great shoe store which
we now occupy is the monu-
ment to Our success. No
body thinks of correct
footwear but we are brought
to mind. You never see the
ordinary styles here-and
you always see the exclusive,
distinctive fashions; hence
IF they're Rich's shoes
they're proper has become
a truism recognized by
everybody.
A word about novelties.
Our idea.of a shoe store is
the store which shows every
thing in footwear, hence you
see here not only street and
dress shoes, but you find
novelties in ladies' evening
and reception slippers-nov-
elites in house and carriage
boots = all the accepted
styles in ladies' and gentle
mems riding, golhng and
shooting boots and fencing
footwear-the correct foot
wear outfits for the livery
noiseless shoes for nurses
and acknowledgements
and delsarte footwear-men's
surveying boots. We show
special shoes for young la
dies and gentlemen at college
comfortable and stylish.
There are four selling
floors to this building, and
even with all this space it is
no more than is necessary.
This is indeed a unique
shoe store, and you appre-
ciate its uniqueness.
